Tom Tom Navigator

Hi, I have an XDA Mini S and would like to have Tom Tom Navigator on it. Being very new to this and a bit of a technophobe, can anyone tell me how to get it on my phone? Thanks.

TomTom in 3 easy steps
1) Buy it for your device
2) Read the manual that comes with it
3) Install it as per manual.

Ok, thanks. So its made for specific devices? Sorry to ask stupid questions but i am a girl!! lol

It is that easy - Honest!
I had 'trial' version, purely for evaluation purposes you understand (ahhem!) once i got that working i went out and purchased a legitimate version - actually i bought it off e-bay along with a BT-GPS unit.
There are soooooooooooo many contradicting stories about compatibility of TTN5 with XDA mini s - two contradicting stories come from TomToms' own website!!!
try it - it does work
regards
Mark

Thanks so much for your help! Where can i get a trial version from? I've just browsed ebay for the actual software and its quite pricey, so it waould be great to check it out first!

I purchased the software and reciever the other day, installed it and it works GREAT! I do agree it is a little pricey though. It is easy to install.

Anyone know where to get a trial version? I'd like to see how much I'd use it before spending an arm and a leg! lol
Glad it works well on there though, I love the phone and am slowly customising it to exactly how i want it.

Tom Tom don't do "trial" versions hence the " (ahhem!) "
.. and for the sake of this forum - please don't ask for a hacked version.
TomTom works just fine on a Wizard, most of the issues you'll read about are from people with hacked copies.
You do , however, have to watch out and ensue that you only install it on 1 pda/phone. The registration code it then "tied" to that pda in particular and if you change/upgrade pda's then it will not re-activate with the same code.. TomTom will have u sending them copies of receipts (for the new phone) etc - just to get a new activation code. It took me about 7 emails and just as many days to get mine re-activated when I switched from a XDAIIs (blue angel) to this Wizard.
There are cheaper sat nav programs out there though..

Whats one of them??? :shock: :? :lol:

You need a BT-GPS - BlueTooth Global Positioning System receiver so that the TomTom software knows where you are.
The receiver uses geo-stationary satellites to calculate your lat and lon co-ordinates. You have to use a bluetooth version with the XDA as there are no external com ports for a wired antenna.

Thanks for that Mark!!! That actually made sense! lol I'll go see what I can find now.

tom tom help needed

Hello everyone I am a new member with a bit of a problem. I bought my tytn II off of ebay and the seller is no help so I am hoping someone here will be kind enough to lend a hand. when I bring up tom tom on my tytn it ask for an activation code which I dont have a clue about. So I would love to use tom tom but have been out of luck so if anyone could help I would be greatful.

Activation code is something you need to buy from http://www.tomtom.com
If it came with TomTom 7 though, your outta luck for now cause it's not 'officially' available for windows mobile devices yet.

using v6 or 7?

There are versions of TomTom out there which don't need activation - I think v6.032 which came on my CD is the best (I'd upload a copy, but I think the mods won't allow this). However, you still need to buy the maps...

tomtom 6 is my version I am using

Downgrading Advice

Hi All,
My wife got my an XDA 11i it has an upgrade to wm 6.1, it works fine however the wifi doesnt work and it is a little slow, basically i would like to get back the original os version windows 2003 so my questions are as follows.
1. can i downgrade to the original oS
2. Where can i get the rom from
3. Or is there a standalone wireless driver.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Then Mark you have something a lot of people (not me) would give their eye teeth for a XDA IIi with more than 2003SE are you absolutely positive that you have????
But I would have thought that a download of the last "Real" ROM from O2's Irish site (loads of links around here if you search) would have sorted it back to 2003SE

Its definitely 6.1 but without wireless its useless to me as i need to use it on the move wirelessly, what are the irish url's
I needs these roms asap and you could spend weeks on this site serching the forum and ive just started a business and i require the xda on the go.
i just want a xda11i original rom so i can make sure the wireless isnt a hardware issue them i may upgrade again once i know it works.
Thanks Mark

Given all the information above i would say this is actually an XDA II, aka Himalaya, that would account for both the WM6.1 and the absence of WiFi. easy way to check is go to
Start - Settings - Device Information and select the Identity tab, report back which Model it is. i am not a gambling person but even money says it is PH10B, this makes it a Himalaya.
As for the advice re ROMs and Ireland site, search www.O2.ie for ROMs for both Himalaya and Alpine, XDA II and IIi respectively. Make sure you get the right ROM as you run the risk of wrecking it completely.

Hi Deedee,
It looks like it is an XDA 11, so it looks like there aint no wireless.
So it is now the xda 2003 rom i need.
Thanks

It's Xmas, I am in a good mood so here's the link, just pick the right ROM.
O2 ireland XDA ROM
Took two clicks and one search, go to O2.ie, search for "XDA ROM" and pick the fourth option.
Personally i'd stay with WM6.1, the Himalaya I have for mucking about with is WM6, never felt the need to return to WM2003. Is there a technical reason for downgrading? You are going to fond so much that won't work it's probably not worth the effort, apart from the experience. Also you may not get the Extended ROM back even following the downgrade.

Proud Xda IIi Owner....

Hi Guy's,
I've recently purchased a Xda IIi after owning the original Xda for 2months, and what a phone the Xda IIi is! The technical specifications are close to some of the more recent phones.
I've recently installed the Efficasoft GPRS Monitor and Resco Radio, along with a couple of other useful App's. The only gripe I have with the Xda IIi is that it freezes on the Photo Contacts when it tries to play an MP3 ringtone from the SD Card, but I soon cured this by just removing the custom tones.
I've kept the O2 software on at the moment, and I've downloaded the latest ROM to install once I've plucked up enough courage to install it.
I am also a VB.net developer, and I'm really thinking now of getting my head around the .Net Compact Framework. I'm still amazed there are no upgrades for the Xda IIi to either Windows Mobile 5 or 6, but nevermind this smart little phone has a great following.
I shall be frequenting the forums now I have found them and will put my hand in somewhere
Dave

Hi Dave,
yes, it's a great device! I have 2 of them for years (one for the GF). Who knows maybe nokser (see other thread) will manage to cook a ROM with WM 6.1 or 6.5
Willing to part with one now though, since I recently bought a Topaz, which is also really nice and a lot smaller.
Wishing you lots of fun with the XDA IIi !

Thanks TinTin,
Oh I shall have lots of fun with the Xda 2i. I've had a couple of standalone PPC's before, but its a whole new world opened up with a phone added
I will be keeping my eyes on that thread about WM6. One thing I've noticed reading up on the .Net compact framework, its a little restrictive, but I can cope with it, but I'm always up for a challenge.
I'm heavilly into Ham Radio and internet radio, so you can guess what type of app I'm going to try and write.
My wife thinks the Xda 2i is an ugly phone, and wanted me to get a normal Nokia (Symbian) phone, so I got both, and gave her the N70 lol....
