Tomtom on the vogue

---

I loaded ttn 6 on my phone. When I launch the app it tells me theres no maps.

I have the new rev no issues with hitting the sat's.



First it would not launch tomtom when the exe was on the sd card. Moved it to programs files and it launches.

I have the maps on my sd card. Do I have to move any files over to "my device"? what are the names?


Thanks

Maps are supposed to be on Storage card in the root folder.
for example \Storage Card\Canada_US_Maps

Tried to move them to storage card. file name is usa_canada_v.675.1. still get the same error. "No maps found"


if i click to open it gives me an error "409 is not valid pocket pc application"


think thats what the problem is?

You didn't purchase this copy of Tomtom, did you? Don't answer, we're better off not knowing.

It sounds to me if that really is a "file" (singular) you've probably got a map pack still compressed as a .RAR or .Zip or similar. What's the extension of that file? "usa_canada_v.675.1" dot what?

My point is, you have to extract the archived maps to a folder on the root of your storage card, as a1jatt mentioned. It sounds like you're trying to use or execute and archive, which isn't going to do much for you. If that doesn't make sense or you still need help let us know.

Hi,

I am getting No GPS device! when i open TomTom.

-please advice

Retesh- I've got the exact same problem. Just got my phone today, and I'm hacking away at it!

I've got a few ideas, and I'll post if I get it to work.

Well, it looks like I hit the jackpot. I'll outline what I've done today, because I'm not sure if your setup will be anything at all like mine.

The phone came brand new, so there was no need to flash to the stock ROM. I started with the instructions for updating to the ROM with REV.A and GPS from Sprint:

I've got a Sprint Vogue, so I basically followed the instructions from 1 to 10. The wording regarding running Cokeman's unlocker was a bit vague- after you're on the tri-color screen, you DO need to remove and replace the USB cable (as the DOS window will tell you) but you DON'T need to reboot the phone and reconnect to ActiveSync.

Anyway, once that was all done I tested my internet connection via ActiveSync (I don't have a data plan). Interestingly, it works under XP, but does NOT work under Vista. I've yet to figure out why, though it isn't super important at the moment. I decided to use VetVito's V2.0 Kitchen to build a custom ROM, rather than use one of the ones in that tutorial. It was pretty easy and quick. Once that was flashed, I ran the Sprint DCD carrier cab and installed TomTom Navigator 7. This is the part you're probably interested in.

When I launched it, I got "No GPS" also. On the Satellite screen, it didn't show a single one. So, I did the following:

I modified the registry using PHM Registry Editor, which can be found here:

I then installed the AstroGPSLauncher, which you can get from this thread, among other places:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17225

I did use the SKShortcutManager mentioned in that thread, along with the instructions provided there. Pretty straightforward.

Then I fired up TT7, and... nothing. It said "Poor GPS Reception", but still didn't show a single one connected, locked on or otherwise. I soft rebooted, and took a walk around the block. (It was COLD out tonight!) Sure enough, after a few seconds, I showed 10 connections. It wasn't locked on, but it was trying. I watched it for about five minutes or so, until my girlfriend called. I figured then would be as good a time as any to figure out how to multitask with the phone, so I took the call while allowing the satellites to keep trying to connect.

I'm not certain of the exact length of time, but approximately five to ten minutes later it was locked to 5 satellites! I don't have great reception where I am (lots of houses with lots of wifi and satellites and other invisible noise) but it stayed connected to between 3 and 5 birds for the entire call (switched to speakerphone so I could watch ) and even now inside my house, I'm still connected.

Aaaaaanyway, my guess is that the registry tweak and using Astro were the bits that made it work. You're mileage may vary... keep in mind I'm about as big of a noob as you can be, having had this phone now for about ten hours. But it looks like a bit of research, luck, and help from the awesome folks here and at PPCGeeks is all you need. Unfortunately, if my method doesn't work, I don't think I'll be much help with troubleshooting. But give it a shot (the registry tweak and launcher) and let us know how it goes!

This is not a thread revival but my thanks to the above poster. I now have a kickass cell phone thanks to you.

Many thanks.
