Lobster and TomTom Navigator 6

[leadweight]

Hi everyone

does anyone know how to get TomTom Navigator 6 to run on the Lobster 700TV?

I have managed to get the application lock sorted now but not TT N6. I know that TT N6 lists in its code the phones that it will run on but the Monet is not one of them. I have used a hex editor to overwrite another HTC phone in the code in the hope that this may work. Although the phone now starts to run TT N6, it stops with the error: "not digitally signed ...". There must be something else that needs changing but I am not sure what.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Regards ...

I got it working, but it would not find the map, or should I say it crashed when it got to that stage.

I know that this may not help, but I've got TomTom MOBILE (App Version 5.200 (4450)) working on the Lobster.

I think you've found out that version 6 does not work.

Thanks for that.

It seems that TomTom Navigator 6 is a step backwards. I have had to do a lot of hacking with the software but without success so far although a breakthrough seems close.

Hi ringp3ace

I have now tried TT Mobile 5.2 and yes, it works. I went on eBay and found this software for sale at £22 including PP. If anyone is intrested, there are 4 more left so be quick.

All the best,

Well, thanks to ringp3ace, I now have fully functional Tomtom Mobile working on my Lobster. Problem is, my bluetooth GPS device (GRB-288), wont play ball. I can pair and connect ok but there's no communication going on. I know there are some bluetooth devices that sulk when they are used with some phones but does anyone know which bluetooth GPS will work with the Lobster?

I'm having problems installing 5.20 on my Monet - using the download from the tomtom site it instals successfully up to the Jane voice then fails saying it isn't compatible with this device and backs out all the previous instals. Any ideas? I have a proper product key as I bought tomtom 6 for my pda and I can move tomtom 5 to the monet. Cheers

Thanks for your input but I have already found that the BT GPS 77 device also works well. I now have TT 5.2 running well on the Lobster.

Thanks to all those who helped to bring about this happy event.

I managed to install TomTom6 onto the Monet. It runs OK, but the lack of a touchscreen is the killler though - just too difficult to use without one.

Certain screens require the touch screen (setting up the GPS, selecting a postcode). The fakecursor/touch screen emulator is not an ideal solution either as I can't see how to assign the fakecursor program to a hardkey on the Monet.

I went back to 5.2 which runs fine. 5.0 doesn't as the screen goes garbled.

Can anyone help, I keep getting "set up is not a valid windows ce application" when trying to run tomtom mobile 5.2

[mikeycrawford]

hard to say without more info.

sounds like you are trying to run a .exe file on the monet that should really be run on the PC (if its the setup file)

The executable file that should be run on the monet is TomTom Mobile.exe

I have exactly the same problem - freezes on the voice selection. Thanks for any help. Love to get this working

To all those how are still trying to get Lobby to play with TT.

First, make sure your Lobster is 'application unlocked' (see start of this thread)
Next, ensure that you are trying to install version 5.2 of TT Navigator and that it is a Windows Mobile version (there are several versions). The Symbian version for some phones will load but not run.

Once loaded correctly, TT Navigator 5.2 will self install from the software loaded to the phone using the HOME application on your PC. This application will 'see' the connected Lobster and memory card.

I have spent hours trying to find the 'secret' and I can tell that it does work. If you read through this thread you will find others that have too.

If you still have problems, let me know

Thank you for the help Leadweight

When you say HOME application on the PC, what do you mean?

Many thanks again

Needed to create a tomtom folder within my documents section of the phone and install the data.chk file.

Sorted !

I've finally got my tomtom 6 working with the Lobster.

You need to app unlock and install it, then install and use dpad for pocket pc to setup the gps receiver - then you should be able to use just using the normal phone operation.

Dpad occasionally screws up the display but if you persevere it does work. You need to use the number and soft keys to start up tomtom, then dpad work within the program.

Hiya

I hope you don't mind me asking a potentially silly question, but we picked up a Lobster yesterday and I have unlocked it and got Tomtom 6 working up to the point that it asks which com port for the GPS. :mad:

You said to use dpad which I thought was the joystick thing?

Thanks
