Hello

I running now tomtom 5.2 on my WM smartphone 5 (Qtek 8500).
The problem is if I install tomtom 6 or higher I really need a touchscreen to select some things. Without touchscreen it is impossible to select for example other maps, gps settings etc..

1. Anybody know how to edit a system file of tomtom or something to make the up and down button usefull to select options and not to lower or higher audio volume ?? other usefull rebuilds to make it run on a WM 5 smartphone are handy for me.

2. Can the maps of tomtom 6 rewritten that they can run on tomtom 5 versions ?

3. Why tomtom don`t make version 6 WM smartphone compatible like tomtom v5.2 ?

I'm running TTN6 (but using WM 6) and the only problem i had was pointing out the COM port for the BT GPS i'm using.
I've found the solution in ActiveSyncRemote display, which is a part of Windows Mobile Powertoys that you can download for free over here:

Most of the screens usually needing a touchscreen also react on the keypad (just play around a bit). 2 things you cannot do:
- scrolling through favorites and recent addresses; you have to type till the address is on top of the list and then select it.
- setting a time you want to arrive; just leave early...lol

Somehow i had major troubles getting fakecursor to work, so this was the best option for me.

Hope it helps!

I have a BenQ E72 which is WM 6 Standard and I cannot select the Com port in settings :(
The damned up/down moves the volume!
I tried the MS remote display power toy but it doesn't support WM6.
I tried Rasberry's Connect too but that wouldn't let me click on a com port either.

Any ideas anyone?

You could give Fake Cursor a try...just google in this forum. it's somewhere around here, including a detailed instruction how to install it.

SPHelper did the trick and now it's running fine...

Many thanks!
