Installing Tom Tom After Rom Update

---

Hi Guys,

I am having problems trying to install Tom Tom 6.0.1 on my Trinity.
I have Tom Tom on a cd but when I tried to copy the folders across to my 2gb storage card on my device, the GB Maps folder which is approx 114mb would stop at about a third of the way accross the progress bar and then start again. Then it would start to copy the other smaller files across.
When I tried to run the Tom Tom program on my device I got the 'No Maps Found' message and can not go any further. So I thought that the maps folder had 'timed out' as it was being transfered accross from the cd to the storage card via Activsync.
So I bought a new card reader to copy the files over to the storage card quicker and safer. But when I try to run Tom Tom I get the same message 'No Maps Found'.
It is almost as if I have to install the GB maps on to the Trinity's memory and not the storage card in order for the program to find them. This I cant do because it would fill up the memory.
So has anybody else come accross this issue and would be able to help me because I am desperate to get SATNAV and Tom Tom working on this device.

Cheers!

Hi mikehockenballs,

Your problems is not a nice one, the fact is that your map version is not supported by your current Tom Tom software, you have to get newer version of these maps, and only then Tom Tom will recognize them.
On each map folder there is a .pna file and this file contains the version number of the maps, i have found that maps with version number smaller than 650 do not work with Tom Tom 6.

Can you check you maps version and then correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks,

Luís

Hi Imbranco,

Thanks for your reply!
I looked at the .pna file but there is no version number in the file name.
Do I need another program to open these files up and view the

This is the file name that I have :-

GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE.pna

I think I will try and download another version of Tom Tom and see if that works.

Cheers!

Hi,

I am sorry i did not make myself so clear, you have to open the .pna file as a text file and read the contents, inside the file is the version number of the file. For compatability i recommend Tom Tom 5.21 but you will be losing on some bug fixes and enhancements.

I have TomTom 6.03 and maps are in Folder \storagecard\myDocuments, where TomTom is looking for it.
maybe this helps

Where can I get the 6.0.3 update? I have 6.0.2.

Pe747,

I have copied the maps to the 'My Documents' folder of the storage card, and it still could not find the maps.
Do I need to copy the files into the 'My Documents' folder as seperate files and not as a GBMaps folder?
I now have the maps in 3 different folders on the stotage card and it still wont find them!!!!
This is really starting to piss me off now!!
The maps are:-
ID=GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE.pna
1696100257
650
build=1046
id=38915

and the version of Tom Tom is 6.0.10

I have uninstalled it twice and installed it again but it wont find the maps.

Could anyone please help?

mikehockenballs,
I made a folder under MyDocuments with the name of the map and put all the relevant maps in there. I have another folder with another map.
In TomTom I go to change maps and TomTom presents me the different names of folders.
I don't know if your maps are compatible with the version of TomTom.

I had a simular problem.. before this problem i activated 'enable Bluetooth Explorer' in the bluetooth settings.. when i unchecked it.. the maps were found again - maybe not the answer but worth a trie

I had the same problem where it was working and then all of sudden NO MAPS FOUND. The above solution fixed the problem. Thanks
