TomTom 6 Guide for HTC Kaiser (FAQ)

[gogol]

Here I compiled list of question and answer about using TomTom 6 with the HTC Kaiser. Forum Mods, if this is good enough, please make it sticky topic.


*** Which version of TomTom is in the Application CD?

6.032 (8351) - as of September 15, 2007


*** Is that full version or trial version?

It is called TomTom Taster Edition and It is full version, it will not expired, and there is no feature limitation compared to retail version.


*** Is it installed in the ROM by default?

No, it is not. You need to manually install it.


*** How to install it?

Connect to ActiveSync, from the HTC Kaiser Application CD, launch:

Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.E XE


*** I dont have that executable file in my HTC Kaiser Application CD!

Yes, you are not alone, probably you purchased North America version.

*** I have TomTom 6.030 (or prior version), what's the main difference?

6.032 has "Built-in Internal GPS" setting and the HTC Kaiser also have one.


*** Can I use/install other maps?

Yes you can. You can purchase additional maps (maps only), and then activate it.


*** Warning! Do not change the external GPS setting!

You should see "external GPS" icon in the Settings->System, do not change anything there.
You might need to hard-reset your device, more info:

http://www.modaco.com/word-warning-re-GPS-se-t258943.html


*** How can I use my own TomTom software?

So, you do not want to use TomTom from the Application CD.

Basically, you just need to install your own TomTom software and use this setting for the GPS:

- Other NMEA GPS receiver
- GPS baud rate = 4800
- GPS is connected to COM4:

For detailed information, check out here:

http://www.modaco.com/TomTom-Kaiser-t256790.html


*** How good is the internal GPS? Any problems?

From my own experience, it is working fine. Signal strength may vary and it depends on the situation (cloudy, clear sky, surounding area, buildings, etc.).

On average, I got satellite fix around 30 - 60 seconds.

However, some people experienced problems which you can follow here:

http://www.modaco.com/GPS-positioning-problems-t259285.html

Paul from MoDaCo.com (http://www.modaco.com), reported a bug
"The GPS bug seems to occur with some applications whereby the GPS 'data stream' will pause for a few seconds at a time, which makes some apps think the GPS has gone away (e.g. Google Maps) and other apps just update in sudden jumps rather than smoothly."

http://www.modaco.com/Paul-Reviews-HTC-P45-t256569.html

But, I think that problem is intermittent (randomly occur).


*** How about TomTom PLUS service?

Check out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328444

*** TomTom always start with NO SOUND, why?

It's a bug, you have to switch off the data connection before starting TomTom.
SIMPLE FIX: Roll the volume wheel and sound turns on.


Thanks to all XDA-Dev users, Paul and other users from MoDaCo.com (http://www.modaco.com)

Feel free to add more information in here :)

[sherpa]

I added this thread to the wiki.

[mikechannon]

The above is all good info.

However, if you are having problems do not believe that the above is the only setup that will work.

I happen to use a bluetooth setup from time to time and have used the external GPS settings without problems.

A working setup for me for intermal GPS uses Other NMEA on COM 9 at a Baud Rate of 19200. In the Tomtom settings.

All other GPS programmes I use are set to COM9

When I setup the bluetooth I have it set to:
Serial Port (ticked)
Outgoing Port COM 9
Authentication (unchecked)

External GPS (in System menu)
(Perform a full backup before changes here - due to reports that changes here may ruin the GPS connection requiring a hard-reset to get it going again)
GPS Programme Port COM9
Hardware (None)
Access (Manage GPS automatically - ticked)

By the way the basic freeware plotting applications I use DO NOT require the clumsy workaround of starting tomtom in order to open the internal GPS. That problem seems to be limited to an issue with Google Maps.

NB
Other ports will work - eg COM0 but you must ensure that for example if you set outgoing port in bluetooth (if you also use BT GPS) to COM0 then it will also be COM0 in tomtom or any other GPS software. Any mismatch and you'll wait forever!

NB
In the tomtom satellite screen (the one that shows aseries of columns for each satellite - there is a useful verbal comment at the top of the screen it will say one of three things:
1
No GPS Device - (always says this initially for 2/3 seconds. If things are set correctly it will move to 2 but if your ports are wrongly set it will stay on this)
2
No Valid GPS Signal - (means it has found internal GPS device and is trying to find satellites - anything from 2 or 3 seconds to couple of minutes if you have not used Quick GPS, it will then move to 3 if you are in range of satellites)
3
Other NMEA GPS Receiver - (says this when locked on to satellites and working correctly)

The above 3 steps are useful to just check whether the setup and port is correct. Even if you do not want to use tomtom it's worth running it at least once just to iron out any port problems.

*** Can I use/install other maps?

Yes you can. You can purchase additional maps (maps only), and then activate it.




How?
I copy the folders of others maps into the microsd, bit if i go to settings- change maps I can't see them! Then i can't put the code to activate them!
What i'm doing wrong?

Tried to install this 6.032 version on my TyTN II but got the following error on the device upon starting the installation: "Setup Error: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again." - any ideas? Thanks ...

Would be happy to pay for the software / maps if they wouldn't it make all that difficult to get it installed for a trial ...

[trjons]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I can't get the On board GPS to kick up and when I look under settings, the only thing there is "External GPS"....

How do you get it to use the internal GPS?

[galahor]

Are you sure u installed 6.032 Tom Tom release? Is the version caming with CD and is not in Tom Tom web. Is the only version that works with internal GPS; but youet guy. can have problems to install it, if you have a previous version.

[gogol]

There is no "internal GPS" icon in the "Settings", only "external GPS"

And dont mess around with the "external GPS", you might need to hard-reset.

TomTom 6.032 has its own setting to use the "internal GPS".

I would disagree with that. Other versions of tomtom DO work. But in tomtom's "configure" select other NMEA instead of internal GPS:)

I agree. I wanted say is the only version capable to tune internal GPS from Tom Tom program. I know versions 6, 6.02 and 6.03 works with othen NMEA and port 4, but my impresion is with internal get satellites faster.

[jyavenard]

Is there a way for TomTom to give the vocal instruction through the Bluetooth headset ?

Thanks

[Schooleydoo]

Anyone get a wrong rom error when installing 6.032? UK T-Mob.

[ericb]

Yes me too

[gogol]

As I understood, the T-Mobile version does not have TomTom Taster edition included in the application CD, correct???

If that's the case, I am afraid that the TomTom 6.032 from the HTC Kaiser "unlocked" version is a special build only for that unlocked model.

Just use 6.030, it works fine (read in the FAQ).

[Schooleydoo]

Yeah i guess if the rom numbers dont match up, it wont let you install. Not on Taster CD.

Using 60.30 now 8)

[Matt-Helm]

No TOMTOM love...

My Kaiser just showed up today and there' no TOMTOM on the apps cd. :(

What gives?

[trjons]

I installed the Tom Tom and the one free Map, but I still have the same issue I had with Google maps of having to run GPS Viewer to start up the GPS.

I'm sure its a configuration issue for Tom Tom but I can't figure out what the problem is.

[gogol]

You got problem with Google maps and you thought that is TomTom configuration issue? ... :confused:

I have TyTN II unlocked, have CD with Tom Tom 6.032 too, and was impposible to install. The problem with 6.03 in my machine is it doen´t talk. I installes at least 6.02 and works fine.

[Buzz313th]

Use TomTom HOME program to install maps.

Richard


Ok... But how have you guys connected the TomTom Home program on the PC to the TomTom on the kaiser? Activesync?


JB

[trjons]

What I meant is Tom Tom 6 does not start my GPS.

I have to use GPs Viewer to get a fix first...which is very frustrating.

Yep, or just put the storage card in a reader attached to the PC. Either way should work.

Hey gogol, thanks for the post.
I also find this cab version would be helpful: http://rapidshare.com/files/59280216/ttn_6_032_8351_HTC.cab.html

[w01f]

Does anyone else find it really annoying whereby if you receive a phone call while using TomTom, the screen switches to the phone meaning you can no longer navigate until the call has finished?

It seems the only way round this is to carefully press the X top right of the screen, but you can't tell if the caller has hung up then, so you have to press the red end call button, which looses the TomTom screen again!!

grr, why didn't they integrate phone features properly...

[ericb]

Yes, I have this too.

It never happened with an earlier version of TomTom on an MDA Compact III.

I raised this in an earlier post but got no replies.

Not sure whther it is the latest TomTom, a ROM issue, I am on T-Mobile or a windows 6 issue.

Someone may be able to offer a solution.

[gogol]

Hi navigater,

That information is already in the first post :) Thanks anyway.

*** I have TomTom 6.030 (or prior version), what's the main difference?

6.032 has "Built-in Internal GPS" setting and the HTC Kaiser also have one.


Are there any other additional features besides the "Built-In GPS Setting"? I am currently running 6.030 with traffic and everything working perfectly. Also to the best of my recollection, it already has the "Built-In GPS Setting"

Is there a change log anywhere, or if anyone can advise if there are any other advantages in upgrading to this latest release?

Also does this taster release, Version 6.032 have a working traffic option? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. I have an HTC Trinity, is this new version specifically designed for the Kaiser only?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I have tried both and the only difference I can see is the startup screen.:)

Both has internal GPS setttings - both work
Yep, the traffic works on 6.032
Startup sound is disabled on both but scrolling the thumb wheel fixes that ;)

Hope this helps.

I tried installing TomTom 6.032 on my Tilt with the Cingular ROM and I got an error message that said I needed to update my ROM. I loaded the HTC ROM on my device and I still got the same error. Any ideas?

Did you try 6.03?

[rkorzuch]

Did you try 6.03?
I haven't tried it. Where can I get version 6.03?

[gogol]

You must buy maps separately.

do these versions come with US maps or do i have to buy those separately from TOMTOM...

[kavi]

Thanks for the link. Probably a real noob question but TT files and installation and a lot of things about it seem non standard. I have TT6.0 installed and working, I did get the files from your link. How do I install 6.03? Is it an upgrade, uninstall-reinstall or an over write install of 6.0? None of the .exe files (when connected by AS and launched from my PC) do anything.

Also does 6.03 actually support traffic or only 6.03X. Also do 6.0 maps with with 6.03 and 6.03X?

Running AT&T Tilt and ROM 1.57.502.2 by the way.


This is the basic installation file. Yes it supports traffic and all the other options. You will have to buy the full version to get the maps and activation code. I posted this for the above user to check whether he could actually get TT running on the Tilt.

Thanks. Still a bit confused. 6.0->6.03 is both not free and requires new maps?

[rsolomon]

Thanks. Still a bit confused. 6.0->6.03 is both not free and requires new maps?

If you legally own 6.x maps you should be able to go to 6.03 legally and without having to reauthorize any maps. So, AFAIK, 6.0->6.03 is free and does NOT require new maps. You can actually download 6.03 via the TomTom website and the TomTom HOME application.

I think confusion arises because the TomTom 6.032 application is given away in some HTC packagings but that doesn't include any map licenses. Folks aren't necessarily used to the TomTom licensing so they think they're getting free TomTom, when all they're getting is a limited/trial.

HTH,
Richard

[bigthingspoppin215]

Which ROm version do I need to install the TOM TOM from the disk.I am using a At&T tilt now running on the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.12.11_Ship, Whenever I try to install it says I need to upgrade my ROM.Whats wrong here?

[michael1284]

Hm.. installed 6.030 my maps work fine, but when I choose "Other NMEA" and choose baud rate 4800, it doesn't prompt me for Com4. When I get into the program, it just sits there "No GPS Device". Any ideas?

Googlemaps seems to work fine locating a GPS signal though.

[michael1284]

NVM, finally got it to work. Changed the ExternalGPS setting to Com4. Then when I got into TomTom it asked me which Com Port I wanted to use. Works awesome now.

Mine works at 9600. I copied the auto-detect setting from iGuidance (another GPS program...). However not sure if having it at 4800 is enough along to make it not work.

[bigthingspoppin215]

Hi navigater,

That information is already in the first post :) Thanks anyway.

Thank you so much for the cab for TOM TOM.Now I have it working perfectly;)

[Penske MB]

I am currently using TT 6.01 I purcahse from TT that included in a SD card. if I want to use the new 6.032 from HTC, how can I use the map on SD card? It has so many folders in the SD card and I want to transfer the "maps" only to my new 6GB MicroSD. Thanks in advance.

In the past I have to switch the Micro SD card when ever I need navigation or just regular applications. i really want to combine into 1 card.

[joedoe]

Somebody mentioned that TomTom comes with one free map or gives the way to download a free map. If so how one can obtain this map?

[Marvie]

grr, why didn't they integrate phone features properly...

I have the same problem and I hate it!!
Before this phone I used the wizard with WM5 and it switched back to TT when answered the phone. After a while I installed a WM6 ROM on the Wizard and TT6 didn't come back when calling.... So I think it is a WM6 bug but I don't know for sure because less people react on this problem we have... or the don't mind.

I hope there will be a sollution for it!! :(

Same here, I'm using the HTC rom...not the AT&T one.

I guess that leaves TeleNav or getting google maps to work. ?

I have a version that will work but I don't know how to insert files on this forum. Nevermind here you go:

TomTom Navigator 6.032(8351)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZI2MQES

Password: elrincondedey

I installed this one on my Att Tilt and it worked out fine. If you don't have any maps it asks you if you want to download your one free city map.

[KarmaNP]

It has been working fine with all the three ROMs that I've tried. Today I tried to install the 6.032 version on my wizard, and to my surprise it is working very smoothly on it.

[dielow]

i can get everything to work on my tilt but it cant connect to the internet through tomtom. i cant check for updates or download anything through tomtom. btw im using HTC rom on tilt if that helps.

[spartanrob]

Seems to be working well on my Tilt, w/ATT rom. One question though, sometimes the directions are incomplete, it will say "in 500 yards.." then stop. when you reach the corner, it will say "turn right" Anyone else have this 'issue'?

Hey thanks for that! It worked on my Tilt!!!!

One problem, is that it doesn't have U.S. voices in there? It's only swedish it seems. Any way to add a U.S. voice for step by step?

You have to install TomTom home from tomtom.com and you can download some US English voices for free.

[Tomahawk]

is it cool to download the taster map and english voices form the tomtom site even though we got the copy form here as is it legit?


also what folder do i need to put the maps in?

and which specific file is it. the maps i ahve sem to hve n .exe file do i need to instal lthis on the pc?

[spartanrob]

My TomTom seems to be working fine on the Tilt, except everytim i try to updated traffic, i get an error. Any suggestions?

I was having this problem with the free map that I downloaded after install. After installing and activating a legitmate tomtom map, these problems went away. Could be an issue with the free map as with the legit map, there were other files which i assume were for traffic, updates, etc.

Also, make sure you create an account on the Tomtom website as the software will reference this. You can then go to the buddies section on the PDA and log in.

ok heres my thing! everything set up as you all said.. finds the internal gps but it sits and sits and sits searching for the satellites any ideas???

It should even with no maps, so just install the executable, download TomTomHOME and run it while your handheld is connected via activesync. That should prove that it works for you on your setup....

[warmkiwi99]

Why does this version (from the CD) not have a navigate to Post Code as the V5 I had on my Hermes did? Is it a function of the map you are using or because it's a generic/worldwide version?

[likegadgets]

Anyone has Real Traffic working in US? Anyone has been able to purchase more US maps for the Included TomTom app? If I get the fulll US Navigator 6 - willit run on the UK Kaiser?

I asked TomTom support:

I am getting an error, when trying to view or update traffic (California map) all the time and every time: TomTom Traffic - An error occurred on your TomTom Device (red Screen) and continue. This happens both with WiFi connection or 3G. Windows Mobile 6.


Tom Tom Response:


I am sorry, but the key to your issue is Windows Mobile 6. This operating system is not compatible with TomTom Navigator 6. Incompatibility does not necessarily mean non-functional. It just means that there are issues that remain unresolved that affect the functionality of the product. The errors that you are getting are demonstrative of some of these issues.

The HTC TyTnII does have Windows Mobile 6. This is the European version of the operating system. The version of Navigator 6 that comes pre installed on the device is also the European version. Although the European versions of these two pieces of software have the same look and 'feel' of the American versions, the actual programming code is substantially different.

The American version of Navigator 6 is incompatible with the European version of both pieces of software. The European version of Navigator is not compatible with the American map releases. All HTC TyTn II units are confirmed to have the European versions, and are incompatible with the American maps.

Unfortunately, we are unable to sell the European map releases in the United States. Any map that you purchase will be incompatible with the software on the unit. If your unit came with the US version of Windows Mobile 6, Navigator would not function on it.

My understanding is that the European version of Navigator 6 is not compatible with any of the US map releases for Navigator 6. The US version will not open European map releases, and the European version will not open any US map releases.

To use maps of the US, they must be the Nav 6 release from Europe since the version of Navigator is the European version. Likewise, any European map must also be the European release of the map. We are unable to provide the European releases of any map, here in the US.

Which ROm version do I need to install the TOM TOM from the disk.I am using a At&T tilt now running on the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.12.11_Ship, Whenever I try to install it says I need to upgrade my ROM.Whats wrong here?

[kappa011]

Hi, guys,

Here's one from Kaiser newbie (sorry if there's an answer to this somewhere, tried, but couldn't find it):

Have a(n) (un)brand(ed) new Kaiser and this 2GB Micro SD Card. The thing is, no matter what I do, I can't force that bundled TT Navigator (or any other version, for that matter!) to install on my SD!!!

I need it because I am from Serbia, and (as if that alone wasn't enough :rolleyes:) the only map TomTom released covering my country was v6.08 East Europe BETA! which has around 170MB. There's a lot of local forums stating that it is quite operational, but needs a bit of tweaking to get it there, which includes puting both TT6 app and the Eastern_Europe-Map folder to the root of SD.

Piece-a-cake, I thought, but then I hit the wall. I do get to a point of being asked for an install location, but even if I select my SD card ("Storage card"), I end up with TT6 installed in default Program Files folder! Tried with ActiveSync, manual install, CabInst and some other reg-tweakers (promising to solve things but failing miserably), etc.

Not just that app, to be specific, some other behave likewise, but majority of apps install as supposed to...

What gives?!?

[rsolomon]

Is there a good way to use TomTom without having the internal GPS come on? In either 6.030 or 6.032 I can only seem to do that by reconfiguring to use a different (fake) port for the GPS.... there has to be better way, doesn't there?

What am I missing?

TIA,
Richard

i was able to install the tom tom taster version on my tilt without any trouble. it was a version from the netherlands, but i was able to get an english voice by following th PLUS link - and it cost me nothing extra which was nice.

however, i noticed that my location was far off from where i actually was. in google maps my position was exact within a few meters, so i was surprised. worse yet, now my position in google maps is was yoff. the cursor also moves arou d a lot - drifting in and arou nd my atual loction. mayb somthing about the intall or my selections for tom tom preferences are causing this issue. does anyone have any ideas?

[antl]

Tried to install this 6.032 version on my TyTN II but got the following error on the device upon starting the installation: "Setup Error: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again." - any ideas? Thanks ...

Would be happy to pay for the software / maps if they wouldn't it make all that difficult to get it installed for a trial ...
I have got the same issue.
Did anyone know how to fix it?

I am having a weird problem with tomtom 6.032 with the voice. For some reason the voice has issues with stating how many yards a turn is so it just says "Right turn " it doesn't say the yards. like 200 or 400 or 800. It says it sometimes if i go in the unit setup and i go through or if i change the voice. But it stops saying it after a little bit. anyone else have this weird problem ?

I just got off the phone with Tomtom, they are very nice. Unfortunately, they don't provide much support for the free 'taster' version that we have. he suggested trying a different voice to see if that resolves the issue. I'm going to download and install a different voice to see if that helps.

[spartanrob]

UPDATE: the new voice seems to work. I switched to "Lori" (english US) and my issue is now resolved.

[benl2k]

Has anyone got Tom Tom 6.032 of the Kaiser Application cd to work on Duttys ROM? If so what version of Duttys ROM are you using, what branding was your kaiser originally and did you do anything to get it to work or did it just work?

Also are there any other versions of Tom Tom that do work with duttys ROM and are downloadable?

[intothevoid]

[ddevling]

Does the GPS receiver continue to run and eat battery life after exiting from TT software or is there some way to shut the receiver off?
Thanks,

[Tregrad]

can someone put the files to dl and the steps in which to do this please.
and what ttHOME do I download?

[egypt123]

What am I do wrong here? I installed everything, went through the setup process, it appears TT sees my GPS device... ...and then it just sits there and I get a "Waiting for valid GPS signal..." message. Do I need to activate some service with AT&T? Is there some light on the device that actually show the GPS is active? Dang this is frustrating!

You need to go outside and let the Tilt sync with the GPS satellites. You are problem inside and the signal is too weak.

Hey all, i've got tomtom running on my kaiser really well, its fast and accurate. But i find the today plugin is too small. Im sure i had a big plugin on my wizard, so just asking if anyone knows of a fix??? Big tomtom today plugin for the kaiser???

Thanks
:)

[tt225]

Uncheck "Link to Car Speed" and volume will not be mute upon startup.
Goto "Change Preferences"->Right Arrow->Volume Preferences->Uncheck "Link volume to car speed"
Not a bug.



*** TomTom always start with NO SOUND, why?

It's a bug, you have to switch off the data connection before starting TomTom.
SIMPLE FIX: Roll the volume wheel and sound turns on.


Thanks to all XDA-Dev users, Paul and other users from MoDaCo.com (http://www.modaco.com)

Feel free to add more information in here :)

[Mattcity]

sorry just did as you said uncheck link to speed but still starts up muted.

I'm having problems loading maps from TomTom. I have installed the taster edition which came on my CD (6.032.8351) which installed fine, locates satellites etc, but when I open up and log into TT Home it won't find my device.

From what I've read, I need to do this to connect through to the TomTom website to download the maps I've bought.

Can I download the maps without my phone being connected, or do I need the connection. If I do need the connection, can anyone offer some tips on why I can't connect.

My Kaiser is an unbranded HTC with HardSPL and Schaps 4.21.

Cheers.

[rsolomon]

Uncheck "Link to Car Speed" and volume will not be mute upon startup.

Not for me at least - I never have Link to Car Speed checked. Tried 6.030 both ways and always starts muted. Further, the scroll wheel shows volume changing, but the muted icon stays onscreen until I toggle sound on and off a few times in the settings.

Not a feature.

OK, someone flame me... me being a TWAT for downloading the wrong version of TomTom Home... Still got a problem with the TT website but with the right software I can now connect...

[Fiftypercentrick]

I've got the TomTom GO 720 with orig CD (documentation) and SD (program files), but I cant quite figure out exactly what files to move to my micro SD card to get it working. Im on the ATT rom so the Kaiser taster or TYTN II (whichever it is) wont work unless I flash, which I've been trying to avoid..

Anybody with experience getting this working properly.
(I've also got all the maps I need, I just need to know how the heck to get them working on the micro)

Thanks in advance.

(I've looked around for this, but it's all for the taster edition..)

[sarahhrrsn]

I tried the 6.032 version on my Tmob uk Mda vario 3 and get the message about updating rom.

I have tried to find the version that I can use and I can't.

Please help.

I've downloaded TomTom to my Tilt with ATT ROM and have successfully activated my maps to the U.S. The program constantly displays "Connecting to GPS device", but can not fix onto satellites (after being outside for 15 minutes).

I notice that the blinking light on the right is blue and not amber. The light does turn to amber when I'm using the google maps method, but not with TomTom. I keep bluetooth disabled in the wireless manager tab, but when I go into TomTom, it enables the bluetooth, and it seems as if it is expecting to communicate with an external gps receiver via bluetooth. I have not changed the settings in the Externalgps icon.


Any ideas?

Any ideas?

If your phone is showing 'connecting to gps' it's possible that there is a port conflict. Try the following:

1. Start TomTom
2. Tap screen where the satellite bars are - bottom left. (look like phone signal strength bars).
3. Tap sattelites again on right.
4. On sattelite screen select 'configure'.
5. Select 'Other NMEA GPS receiver'.
6. Select baud rate. Try with the default of 4800. (Mine works with 4800 upwards).
7. Tap 'done' then select com port. Mine had com4 and com7 available. Com4 worked and com7 didn't (hung like yours did).
8. Go outside and wait 20 minutes. If you get a fix, or the message reads 'waiting for sattelites (or similar) you have the right port.

If this doesn't work, try changing the port. Possibly, also try turning off your bluetooth because I believe that this can use the same port as your GPS.

Good luck.

Hi,
i had changed settings in the start menu/"parameters"/"external gps"
in order to use "sprite terminator" and "wififofum":
i set com "0" in "software" tab
and "none" in "gps hardware port" /bitrate "4800"/access tab ticked
and after that my tomtom 6 wasnt detecting any more my kaiser internal gps.
i saw here that , the only fix was to hard reset:
i think i found a fix.
i used an old well known registry editor :
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?%7b940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3%7d

i downloaded the arm/ppc2003 cab version
the good cab is named regedit.Mrln_ARM.CAB
i transfered it to my tytn, installed it:
and made a backup of whole registry:
after browsing in it, on my deskop:
i found

and i set in tomtom "other nmea gps" and chose "com 0" as port
and now it tomtom is working !
i hope it'll help others users
ps: i coloured also "the multiplexer" register key as "com:0" appears also

Tried to install this 6.032 version on my TyTN II but got the following error on the device upon starting the installation: "Setup Error: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again." - any ideas? Thanks ...

Ive read all 12 pages and still havent found the definative answer to this problem. Im using Kaiser AKU.0.7.0 Cooked ROM.

Im also having this probems with this file. So what is the answer? try the cab version?

How do you install a cab file?
Also, ive looked on the Tom Tom site, but cant find any software to download, does anyone have a direct link to their site?
Thanks

KeVShek..I understand your frustation. I assumed you have the TyTN II with Mapking software included, Am I right? (Just need to clarify so that we can help other people with the same problem).

I got the problem last time and this is how I resolve it (at the end, I can use TomTom and 1 free map!!)
1. Download the .cab file from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338469&highlight=TomTom+6+for+Tilt
(credit to "kireol" for posting this TomTom for Tilt. I know..eventhough it is for Tilt, but it is actually working on my TyTN II version--> comes with Mapking bundle instead of TomTom)

2. Save the .cab file somewhere in your storage card. (Keep your TyTN II connected to your PC)

3. Run the .cab file from file explorer (in your TyTN II)

4. Should install with no problem (there should be no "...please update you Rom.." message anymore if you have the same version of TyTN II as I am)

5. After that, TomTom will prompt you to download 1 free map, then follow the instruction and YOU ARE ON!!

6. Unfortunately, the download does not come with the sound file. Go to TomTom website and download TomTom HOME software for PC (free).

7. Install the software on PC, connect your TyTN II, then it will check you device as TyTN II with TomTom Navigator 6 installed. Next, TomTom HOME will check for updates and WHOALA! you can choose 1 navigator voice of your like. Follow the on screen instruction and you are ready to go!! Drive Safely!!!

I hope my step by step guide can shed some lights to those who has the same version as my TyTN II (come with Mapking instead of TomTom)

[KevShek]

I did all this, and it still isn't finding the internal GPS.

The only things out of the ordinary in my procedure, as compared to yours:


Under Multiplexer/ActiveDevice, "Context" was set to a different 8 digit number. I don't remember what it had; I changed it to yours. I can restore the registry and retrieve the number, if necessary.
In TomTom, after selecting "Other NMEA GPS receiver", it only asks for a baud rate, not a port number.

Where, exactly, were you able to specify a port number?

I think I'm going to try again -- restore the registry and leave that "Context" entry alone. Any ideas on your end?

Thanks for your post, I appreciate the help.

In tomtom6, when i am in the gps windows(with the satellites bars/circles)
on the bottom left , i have a "configure"(translated from french) button,

i tipp on the bottom right button "select" ,
i am proposed "gps baud rate" i let the 4800 value
i tip on the bottom right button "terminate"
and there i have a window "the gps is connected to:"
i have two choices "com:0" or "com:7", i set "com:0" as in the registry.

nb1: if i set in parameters/system/external gps , com4, in the software tab, tomtom will propose me "com4:" or "com:7".
nb2: i am not able to set a com value in the "hardware" tab (same path as nb1) , only the bauds rate 4800 is shown, i have "none" in "hardware gps port".
whatever i am trying to set as a value(com0 to com9), it's not "memorized" in this tab, the onlypoint is, i cannot set the same value as the software tab(obviously).

Hi,
You don't have to restore the registry to read the initial context value:
on your desktop , you right click (in order to avoid to merge your desktop registery with the kaiser's one) and , then, choose "modify" it will open it in "notepad".

I'm never prompted to select a port. Is there another way to do this, maybe through the registry again?

did/would you try, before, to reinstall tomtom6 ?

related to the com:0 and com:7 , i made a whole registry search and i found 2 occurences(one more for com:0):
but they are not apparently linked to tomtom(ie: no tomtom path, and the 2nd one perhaps about bluetooth "BTUR"??)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\73]
"Hnd"=dword:00eceda0
"Name"="COM0:"
"Key"="SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\GPS Intermediate Driver\\Multiplexer\\ActiveDevice"
.......

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\49]
"Hnd"=dword:00661fe0

"BusParent"=dword:00032de0
"InterfaceType"=dword:00000000
"BusName"="BuiltInPhase1_0_12_0"
I also have "Manage GPS automatically" in the "Access" tab checked.
the same


Where can I see what version I have for my GPS driver? I have a Tilt, and the only things that came on my CD are the user manual, activesync, windows mobile device center, microsoft license terms, and warranty information.
Launch tomtom6, tip on the bottom right rectangle (where are empty bars(no gps signal))
next tap on the "version 6.032" rectangle
you'll see all the tomtom infos

[ziggykd]

I got it! I got it! :D :D :D

I restored the registry and redid everything. What I did differently:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\ActiveDevice]
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="COM"
"Context"=dword:12344160
"Flags"=dword:00000002
"Keep"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="GPSID_QCT.dll"
My "Index" was originally set to dword:00000009 (I tried com9 through Settings/System/External GPS before originally attempting your procedure). I did this the first time and on my second try as well, but I forgot to mention it in my first post.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\ActiveDevice]
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="COM"
"Context"=dword:12344160
"Flags"=dword:00000002
"Keep"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="GPSID_QCT.dll"
As it turns out, I was reading the wrong number for "Context". I read 305414496, which is actually what you get from having dword:12344160. So this was just plainly my mistake.

Just to be clear, I have done everything exactly as listed in invasion13's procedure (everything on COM0). However, under the Bluetooth settings for my external GPS (Settings/Connections/Bluetooth), I have it setup just as mikechannon described (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1515157&postcount=3) (COM9):

When I setup the bluetooth I have it set to:
Serial Port (ticked)
Outgoing Port COM 9
Authentication (unchecked)
In TomTom, when selecting "Other Bluetooth GPS receiver", I set it to COM9.



So, in conclusion, your procedure works like a charm on the Tilt, without having to hard reset! And I am once again a happy camper! Thanks invasion13.

Seems to be working well on my Tilt, w/ATT rom. One question though, sometimes the directions are incomplete, it will say "in 500 yards.." then stop. when you reach the corner, it will say "turn right" Anyone else have this 'issue'?
Same here¡¡¡

italia map help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Malik05]

So i downloaded a map, it asks me to activate..but i dont know how ??????

Also, i downloaded TomTom Home, and i wanted to add a voice, but when it tells me to connect my device, i connect it, but TomTom Home or TomTom on my phone wont recognize it...

[pda_crazy]

Hi All,

I have installed TomTom on my new HTC TyTN II with the CD provided by HTC. It is working fine in one shot. Even though i re-install it beacuse it was not allowing me to install the application on my storage card. Then i came to know that you cant intall TomTom on storage card.
I downloaded London Map as a one free map. And i installed map on my storage card. It is working fine now.

Guys can you help that from where/how can i install complete UK map on my device.

[rsolomon]

I just find it interesting that the MobileXT thread on how to move purchased software from one media to another got dunned, but the last umpteen "How can I steal TomTom maps???" postings here are somehow Ok.

Hi All,

I have installed TomTom on my new HTC TyTN II with the CD provided by HTC. It is working fine in one shot. Even though i re-install it beacuse it was not allowing me to install the application on my storage card. Then i came to know that you cant intall TomTom on storage card.

I wouldn't worry about the fact Tomtom 6 Navigator must be in the main memory. The program itself is very small, it's most of the maps that gobble up storage space.

I downloaded London Map as a one free map. And i installed map on my storage card. It is working fine now.

Guys can you help that from where/how can i install complete UK map on my device.Been there, done that (with the Bracknell map). The next step is to download and install the free Tomtom Home application on your PC (you can get it here: http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=17 make sure you get the Navigator 6 option on the right). In Tomtom Home there is a menu option on the left called 'buy the latest maps' and the good news is that they currently have a 50% off special so the map of the UK and Ireland is £29.95 and the whole of Western Europe only £10 more (I went for the latter so I'm covered when I go on holiday).

[Malik05]

Okay, so i got the proper TomTomHome installed, i got my voice changed, but now i cant activate my map...i have one free map, and i got an additional one...when i try to open it, it says that i need to activate it...so i choose activate manually, i goto the site, enter my device code and it says its invalid...how do i activate this dang thing

Did you down load it from tomtom legally?

[Flying Kiwi]

i goto the site, enter my device code and it says its invalid...how do i activate this dang thingI don't remember there being a problem like this when I downloaded and installed my map. I did have cause to contact the TomTom people though and here in the UK they responded quickly. Give them a call on Friday with your map order number email at the ready and I'm sure they'll get you up and running quickly.

[Mocky]

I'm having little problem with Tomtom (v6.032) on my Tilt. It constantly starts up with the sound off. In order to turn sound on I have to go to Change Preferences/Turn On Sound twice. It never works from the first attempt. The same time if I go to Change Preferences and just open and close Volume Prefereces without making any changes, sound will be turned on immediately.
The problem is that Sound On setting will not be saved. Next time I start Tomtom sound will be off again and I'll have to go through these steps again.

Of course, it's not a life threatening problem, but really annoying. Does anybody know what should I do to set Sound On as a default setting?

[Malik05]

Did you down load it from tomtom legally?

yeah its the taster version...also, the way i got 2 free maps, was because my neighbor has the same phone as i do, so he got the free map for a different area than me, so he sent his map file to me and i tried installing it, that is when it asked me to activate it...

[Flying Kiwi]

Does anybody know what should I do to set Sound On as a default setting?A known issue posted in these threads several times. The quickest workaround is to just turn the jog wheel (volume knob on the side) when TomTom is running and the problem is gone. You've prompted me to email HTC and TomTom about it though (the more people complain about this, the sooner they'll release a fix)!

With 50% off their maps at the moment what more incentive do you need to buy a map covering the area you need? If you only want a free mapping program without the same functionality of TomTom, there's always Google Maps for the Kaiser but although this seems to work well for me in a basic way, it relies on data download.

Unfortunately the jog wheel volume fix doesn't seem to work on my Tilt (stock ROM) either - it shows volume changing but the muted icon stays on until I do the double enable :(

With all due respect, that's because you didn't "get two free maps", you got one free map and you stole another map.

RichardIt looks as if the problem is more serious on the AT&T Tilt then. Time to ask TomTom or AT&T (who ever sold you the software - mine came with my HTC branded TyTN II) for a fix. I've not searched here for this problem on the Tilt and perhaps there's already something covering that in the forums. I just remembered the part that affected my setup.

I am using TomTom HOME "Buy The Latest Maps", and do not see any current discount. I am looking for the USA & CANADA map; it is showing € 49.95. (Is €49.99 = £49.99?).

I believe that is not the 50% off price, since I also see the UK and Ireland map at price: € 39.95 (not £29.95).

Can you tell me if I am seeing the 50% discounted price, or if there is a code I need to provide in order to get the 50% discount?

Thanks.

ok so whats the deal with the today plugin not working? :O

Good :) I updated the FAQ with this link. Thanks.

I downloaded the software at the link onto my TyTNII which I purchased and when I tried to unzip it and put in on my device I got this message:Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.What exactly does that mean? I have plenty of space on my device and storage card to put the software on it. Any suggestions?

Using TomTom version 6.032 (8351)

The verbal directions stop halfway through:

"After 1/4 mile....." and then nothing. Was there a fix for this other than changing voices?

[Bertan]

I have TyTN II unlocked, have CD with Tom Tom 6.032 too, and was impposible to install. The problem with 6.03 in my machine is it doen´t talk. I installes at least 6.02 and works fine.

Can somebody please tell me where I can download version 6.02 or older. or upload it here. I have been searching everywhere there is only 6.03. I have Kaiser Orange and 6.03 does not work with it. I tried to use tomtom home but there is no tomtom download option only add maps etc.

Thanks

Are we legally allowed to install the tom tom teaser in the UK on a T-Mobile Vario III device ? The Kaiser here comes without the TomTom taster software.

Anyone in the UK knows if it makes sense to play with this Taster edition , or just go buy A tom tom 6 from version from TT's web site ?

i cant install this cab cuz im using duty troys rom. it tells me to upgrade to the latest rom.

[Caminada]

I have problems using TomTom. The screen 'freezes' about every five minutes, mostly when there are more details displayed on the screen because of directions or a cross-over.

Is it possible that this is because of he GPS bug that seems to occur with some applications?

Thnx for helping.

i got TomTom working now, but between it and iGo, i prefer iGo. even tho its not as popular, i think its way better. iGo 8 is supposed to be comming out soon.

Ill just stick with My Ipaq rx series Travel Companion. TOM TOM works great on there. Besides i have given up on having just one device to do all. Never going to happen. Between my 8525, 8925, Ipaq H2215, Travel Companion and HX2795 I feel certain one can take care of my gps needs lmao.

Ever figure out the problem?

Anyone else encountered TT6 freezing up while operating? It then would try to recalculate repeated, without finding the accurate current location. I tried resetting the unit, and it would slow down the processor even more.

I'm running the original ATT Rom and have a 6GB card with approx 2 GB available. Would another ROM be more stable?

Any input appreciated.

Hi,
i read(perhaps i am wrong) that htc recommands 4gb max,
did you try with a 2gb or 4gb card?
i have a stock TYTN II (french) , with a sandisk 2gb, no freezing at all,
sometimes i lost my gps position but tomtom 6 is recalculating very fast the new trip, much faster than my old Axim X5(performance) with TT5.

I searched this thread and could not find anybody mentioning this problem.
I am using TomTom installed on the storage card with original Kaiser under AT&T. The program works well once I have started GPS with GPS Viewer and gives me perfect instructions.

The small problem is as follows: TomTom comes on as the first thing every time I do a soft reset on the phone! Even when I start Sprite Backup! I have to then hit the "agree" button and then try three clicks on the TomTom screen to exit the program before I can do anything else. It does not seem to cause any malfunction of anything else, but it is really annoying! I do not have TomTom on the startup menu or folder, I did all I could to make it invisible....but it still pops up first. Any thoughts?

[Mattcity]

delete the 2577 folder from your sd card and it will stop the autostart up

Look for a directory on the storage card called "2577". This is a Windows Mobile autorun directory. The file that is being executed on reset should be in there. You can delete just the file or the whole "2577" directory.

Having done the above, it eliminated the pesky autostart interference.....but then TomTom does not start when I call it. It goes through the "Agree" page and then the next screen comes up and says "could not find maps". Then the only option is "done" and the program goes off. I restored the 2577 folder and now the startup interference is back on but the program works. Is there a happy solution for both problems?

Never seen that. Make sure the map directory/ies aren't in the backed up 2577 directory. If so copy them to the root directory of the storage card and try it again.

Hi,
did you try with an utility like pocket mechanics pro, to check if there are some corrupt files (ie the maps), on your sd card.
i had that kind of worry with tt5 and my dell axim x5, with an unreliable sdcard
(data corruption: strange folders' and files' names with $ symbols)
there's a 30days trial period for pmp, have on look on their website
www.wizcode.com.
it's a valuable product, worth to buy it.
regards

[Caminada]

I tried three utilitys....Pocket mechanics, memmaid en skstools...
I don't know a way to specificly remove corrupt files only on the sd card... but performed all the tools in the utilities above...

Still no result...TomTom still freezes every couple of minutes...for about 30-60 seconds and then picks up again for the next couple of minutes...

[invasion13]

I tried three utilitys....Pocket mechanics, memmaid en skstools...

Did you mean the utilities did find some corrupt files on your card?
if it was the case the only way to make it work, was for me to format
the whole card after backing up the unbroken ones(i was unable to remove/delete the corrupted ones with my Dell's sdcard)

[Caminada]

No, I didn't find any corrupt files...
Before I tried the 'utilities' mentioned above, I allready formatted the SD-card....but that gave no result.

[paulsuerth]

this may have been mentioned earlier, but make sure bluetooth explorer function is turned off in the bluetooth prefs>FTP tab. also make sure that the QuickGPS fix data is current. those were two big showstoppers for me. ymmv!

[Caminada]

Thnx, but bluetooth explorer is off and QuickGPS is autoupdated. I seem to be one of very few with this problem...

[thejipster]

I have to admit that after using TomTom 6 on my Tilt for a couple of months, it just doesn't seem to be that great.

I have had to hard reset my phone once because it corrupted something on my Tilt when it hung the phone and I did a soft reset.

The program sometimes just hangs and needs to be restarted.

The mapping algorithm isn't that good. It doesn't always pick the most logical route path.

I am now looking for another GPS program to use. Anyone have a recommendation?

[Caminada]

I have been running TomTom on my Qtek 9100 for pretty long time...no problems at all. Worked really great, that's why I don't understand the problem with my Kaisr, should work even better...

I heard some very good things about CoPilot 7. Haven't tried myself, but curious.

Still hope to solve the problem with my freezing TomTom

[t3nn15dud5]

any way to download more POI somewhere? I feel like tomtom showing bare minimum...

[scouser_75]

Guys, I installed tomtom 6 last night but am having some serious problems.

When I click on tomtom software on the phone it starts up, but then i get a message saying Maps Not Found. I then only have the option of Done and then the software stops.

Ive put maps in several different places on the SD card but still no luck.

Any guidance please folks would be very much appreciated :)

Just bought a Vario 3 (tytn2)
I've tried TOmTOm 6.030 with nmea and 4800 baud on port 4, no gps signal.

Just tried 6.032 with the internal gps. Still no signal, I've ran the gps fix as well.

gps broken ?

[paulsuerth]

re: scouser_75

make sure bluetooth explorer is NOT selected (connections/bluetooth/ftp)

re: Viper
have you verified that "external GPS" in your settings folder isn't trying to send GPS to a different com?
also have you verified that there are no other programs running already that are using the GPS? (gps taggin on camer perhaps? google maps?)
fwiw, i now use other nmea at 115 on port 4

[shaji007]

hmmm im having a problem where its askin me to upgrade my rom

rom is 1.56.405.5

what do i upgrade it to?

it was working perfectly on the Orange HTC Tytn software though which is a good point i downloaded maps ands they worked without needing to do any dodgy works ;)

Well I did a hard-reset and after that only installed 6.032
I then started TomTom and selected the internal gps

the little round thingy on the top right off the corner does spin and it said No gps signal. Only it keeps this for minutes and all the grey lines on the bottom stay dead.
Ran quickgps and then tried again, still nothing.

I'm gonna return with it on saturday, only got it last friday so.

re: scouser_75

make sure bluetooth explorer is NOT selected (connections/bluetooth/ftp)

re: Viper
have you verified that "external GPS" in your settings folder isn't trying to send GPS to a different com?
also have you verified that there are no other programs running already that are using the GPS? (gps taggin on camer perhaps? google maps?)
fwiw, i now use other nmea at 115 on port 4

Thanks Paul. Will try it tonight :)

[holmanm]

Well I did a hard-reset and after that only installed 6.032
I then started TomTom and selected the internal gps

If by "minutes" you mean 2 or 3 minutes, then you didn't wait long enough. The first connection can take 8 minutes or more with a clear view of the sky. It will say "no GPS Device" if it can't find the GPS hardware. "No GPS Signal" means it hasn't found the signal yet. It may be a hardware problem but it sounds like you either don't have a clear view of the sky and/or haven't let it search long enough.

Good luck,

holmann:
good point, first fix does take longer, and i've had "doh" moments where i get frantic cause i cant get a fix for my camera and realize i'm still inside the office...


shaji007:
i'm using stock att tilt rom and 6.030 from tomtom, perhaps you've installed a custom rom? if so, try using the 6.030 version and see if that avoids the rom error message. i *think* 6.032 is one that was shipped with a specific HTC package and looks for the rom it was intended to ship with.

of course, as always, ymmv...

scouser:
pls post back your results... my original suspicion for the bluetooth thing with tomtom was from a similar error trying to get iguidance to work and someone posting that as a suggestion.
fyi, i have att tilt stock rom, perhaps diff roms treat that differently?

[djrebell2006]

I have the same error message after installing the above Tom Tom software. My ROM version is 1.56.114.4 (date: 09/01/07) is this a wrong ROM version and if so where can I find the correct ROM version?
I have used the wince cab manager. You must delete the "setup.dll" und save. Copy the .cab on the device and install.

[scouser_75]

Thanks Paul. Will try it tonight :)

Nope Paul. No luck still.

PS How do you guys go abouts amending / changing the Ports? I cant seem to find this option on tomtom. I'll have a look on the phone just in case its actually on there :)

It works now, what you probably said, I didn't wait long enough

But I thought the quickgps would fix that problem ?

for those who gets this message "Setup Error: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again."

I see from other postings that I'm not the only one who is having problems with the voice commands cutting off before the end.

I've tried everything I can think of - different voices, different maps, hard re-set and re-load - and nothing has worked.

Anyone found a fix yet?

[KyleK29]

So I installed it on my Dutty's TILT (the corrected version). Interesting. But I must say these maps are useless for high-construction cities (like Vegas). First use, within 5 minutes I was driving through the desert, TomTom was showing me an arrow to get back on the road. Haha, gotta love outdated maps :)

Here is the trick. I read this on another forum. Use "Lori" for your voice instead of the default "Brandi" That should fix the problem. Reply back and let me know if it does or not.

[udgn]

Like 2 weeks ago I got my AT&T Tilt, Does the TOM TOM 6.32 will work in my phone???

I have the program but don't want to install it untill I'm sure.

See my version below, I have everything as I got it, never messed with my ROM.

But if you know of a good working, worry free, ROM let me know.

[eugene7]

The default installation for voices is in the Navigator folder in the main memory, while the maps are in the SD card root directory.

Moved the voices folder to the SD card root, and all works 100% now!

Guess it was something to do with the two memories being accessed at the same time.

Not sure TomTom know about this issue...

[Kepela523]

I have to admit that after using TomTom 6 on my Tilt for a couple of months, it just doesn't seem to be that great.

I have had to hard reset my phone once because it corrupted something on my Tilt when it hung the phone and I did a soft reset.

The program sometimes just hangs and needs to be restarted.

The mapping algorithm isn't that good. It doesn't always pick the most logical route path.

I am now looking for another GPS program to use. Anyone have a recommendation?

I agree with you, the map on mine is outdated, a road by my house has been closed down for almost 8 years, and it still reads that its there and tells me to turn there. Wtf is that??

Is it my map or what? What can i do??

Also I cant seem to change the weather to Ferenheight.. it reads as Celcius.. Can anyone please help me find a way to change this? Ive looked everywhere.

Thanks

Arrgh!

I was too quick with my belief in a fix...

While it did initially work ok after moving voices to the SD card, the issue is now back exactly the same.

Any one got any other ideas/solutions.

Using Lori doesn't work for me either as suggested by 'thejipster'.

The answer is in this thread or the one in the link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336935&highlight=tomtom+tilt

Its something to do with changing the speaker of the directions and downloading them via tomtom home from the website...

Well, before to answer if it is worth or not, we have to make it run w/ tomtom 6 engine; but before to make it runs, we MUST have it on hand.

I can tell for sure, eventhough I don't have it, it has differences, at least a version number.

Buy Garmin Mobile XT 10 then it definitely WILL definately make you feel a lot better how tomtom 6 is. I used to think like you until I forced to Garmin XT 4.10.40w because TT map is not available for Middle East Countries.

Garmin XT is locked to the card, whenever you want to change a card, then your headache is going on, especially when you have to place calls to overseas for buying and customers supporting due to lack of country dealers. Furthermore, it comes with free base USA maps which is useless and eat about 10MB and I haven't found the properly way to get rid of it.

Tomtom sounds better now? You decide.

[ralbanese]

Hi,

Just installed on my Kaiser the TT sw that was on the cd. Than I downloaded one free map. The issue is that the phone doesn't get any satellite ("looking for a valid gps signal)....it is normal?

[XtreMe_G]

run quickgps first, click download, and then start tomtom.

oh, and go outside too.

Try Mio Maps. Better detail, faster maps, and more detail. I like TT for simplicity and user-friendly UI, but Mio Maps is better IMO. :)

[XtreMe_G]

mio uses teleatlas maps.......same as tomtom. plus, i dont think they sell their software for use on other devices, rite?

[ronfin44]

All I can say, is that I'm using Mio Maps on my Tilt, and it works...beautifully. Better than TT. Not as user friendly, but just better in every category but friendliness. :)

As far as the same kind of maps, the difference is that with TomTom I had to place the whole North American maps folder on my SD card to have it work since there are no individual State maps to download. With Mio Maps I choose the State and load them in the map folder. Why have States I'll never visit, and if I do, I can update my map folder before I go. :p

[XtreMe_G]

tomtom did away with individual state maps some time ago. heck, i think even further back you could get just a map of 1 city if you wanted

[ewingr]

I recently installed TomTom. I am in the U.S., and I tried to install the U.S. and Canada map. At about 95% it fails.

So I installed the regional maps, but they don't seem to show any maps for where I live, which is the MidWest. I select the MIdwest Region map, which should include my area.

I do find a map that covers my area, which is the KS MO OK AR map.

Anyway, my question is: anyone know what the Regional maps would be used for?

Anyone else having problems installing the U.S. / Canada map?

Also I decided I would delete the regional maps, but TomTom HOme says I shouldn't delete, as I may have to repurchase them. Huh?

Thanks for your thoughts...

[ronfin44]

I wish they'd seperate them by State, since it's easier to load just the maps you need rather than the whole Country. I just thought that was common sense. Again, that's why Mio Map is my fav right now. I'm testing a new one every other day on my Tilt. I'll let ya know which one I pick next and if its better or worse than Mio.

the regional maps is used if you dont want to have the whole US /Canada map. As for the installation failling, i dont know......did you run out of space on ur sd card?

[hv_thugg]

question anybody know if there is map for jamaica? using the tom tom? is it worth getting?

[Nghiem]

@hv_thugg: No Tomtom map for Jamaica.

@all: Tomtom does have seamless North America, regional maps, state maps, and cities maps. I don't think it is FAIR to criticize Tomtom about how they create maps if you don't have a full LEGITTomtom 6 DVD. So, stop blamming them.

@ewingr: What's state that you want?

[ewingr]

HI

My state is Kansas, and I of course travel to Missouri a lot.

UPDATE:
I sent an email to TomTom support viw My TomTom, and they replied back with a phone number to call. Teh support experience was very good. I was on the line with someone within 5 min, and I ended up downloading a new map. It was quite a process to get 'authenticated'. I had to scan my ID card, and invoice to prove I own the software. But I have a working US map now. I plan to just use that.

But they indicated, as well as what I see above, that the regional map should work. But it didn't. Maybe Kansas is not considered the Midwest by them.

Anyway, think I'm in good shape.

[paulsuerth]

i may have missed this in my interpretation, but are you using mio maps with a tomtom app? after spending hundreds of dollars on the tomtom pda s/w i'm not thrilled with buying more maps...also, does anyone know if i buy version 7 maps for a different tt device, can i make them work with pda v6?

he's using mio maps with mio's software. but i said that mio and tomtom get their maps from the same source......teleatlas.

and the v7 maps......you probably have to wait for tomtom navigator v7 to be released.

I have both apps on my Tilt. I switch back-n-forth to whatever one I feel like using that day, but Mio's maps are much better than TomToms. More detail, and over-all I like the UI better. TomTom is just more "user friendly" to get going and I've installed a ton of custom POI's on TomTom, so thats what gets me back to using it now and then. :)

Well, you should install the Plain map not Mid west map. :)

Per tomtom definitions:
Plains map: CO+IO+KS+MN+MO+MT+NE+ND+SD+WY
Mid West map: IL+IN+KY+MI+OH+TN+WS

Where's the best place to get custom POI's and that may be somewhat 'kept current'? I've found some through Google, but not sure how good they are.

[ronfin44]

Ok, to make some on your own goto http://www.poi2go.com/mypoi/ and download the little Java app called "mypoi". It'll run right on your desktop in java and you can type in a keyword like "Pizza", then put in your zip and then how far you'd like a radius to search. Then it'll list all of the "pizza" places (for example) within your search range. Then on the bottom of the app you fill in a name for this file, choose .ovl (for TomTom), and then click SAVE and it'll put two files on your desktop. One is the .ovl file containing the poi info, and the other is ageneric .bmp file. You can use any program you want to change the .bmp image to match your custom POI instead of using the generic one it gives you. JUST MAKE SURE YOU RENAME IT THE SAME AS THE .ovl FILE if you edit it and that the dimensions stay the same. Then, just drag and drop BOTH files into your maps folder and BAM! You're done. You can also goto www.tomtomforums.com/ and get poi's people already made, and there are custom car icons and all kinds of good stuff there.

Any other questions just ask. I like TomTom but you should try Mio Maps too. :)

Hi guys... sorry if this is a noobie question, but I searched the User Guide and here and can't find out how to exit TT6.

Right now, I can get out if I hit the OK button, which gets me back to the Today screen, but TT is still running.

Can I exit from the program itself? Or do I need to shut it down from outside (like WMP10)?

Thanks.

When TT is running tap on the top middle of the screen > tap on the "right arrow" twice and you will see "exit application"

[ta79pr]

Look for a directory on the storage card called "2577". This is a Windows Mobile autorun directory. The file that is being executed on reset should be in there. You can delete just the file or the whole "2577" directory.

Thank you, I couldnt figure that one out.

I upgraded my tomo tomo from 5.21 to 6 (the newest version) everything seem ok except the new version don't have map rotate feature. I need to open a keyboard to set it to labndscape mode. Do I have other choice to set ip into landscape without open the keyboard as when I used the old 5.21 version. Thanks in advance

I've seen this question asked a couple of times in this thread but wonder if anyone has an answer;

I have a tomtom 720 with Western European Map. I have used the Tomtom Home software (of the 720) to save the map to my computer (all 1.5gb). There seem to be loads of files, some of which are zips when you do a save, which I copied across in their entirety to my sd card, but I cannot get my TytnII tomtom to recognise the map.

Has anyone "imported" a map from another TomTom (I don't think that I am doing anything illegal here, as I have paid for for the original map) and if so, how do I do this?

[stevenyu24]

Hi Guys, need some help with installing TOMTOM on my TYTN II, I have tried both the exe installer and the cab from the wiki link, however both of them shows the error message:

Please update your ROM to the required version.

Here is the version detail of my TYTN II:

ROM Ver: 1.82.707.0 WWE
Radio Ver: 1.27.15.32
Protocol Ver: 22.51.88.13H

and works on my TytnII HTC orange phone. I installed the TomTom Home software too and got a London Map

I'm now trying to see if I can get my TomTom 720 maps on to this...although TomTom say that they are not compatible....hmmmmm

[rsolomon]

(I don't think that I am doing anything illegal here, as I have paid for for the original map)

Unless you are removing the map from the one unit and installing it on the other, you ARE violating TomTom's licensing. I'm not even sure they'll allow that movement, regardless.

In any case, you'd need to use TomTom HOME to install the copied maps and then you'd need to contact TomTom for a new legal license key - which probably costs the same amount of money as buying the map directly.

your 720 is probably using v7 maps, which tomtom navigator 6 cannot read

[richardS]

I think that you are both right. I copied the maps to the Tomtom install directory for my Tomtom mobile and get asked for a product code. Looked on my TomTom boxes, software etc, but cannot find any...so assume that I have to buy this again through TomTom...bummer :(
