Can anyone make a installation guide for Tomtom 5 on WM5 ???

I have difficlut time to install tomtom 5 on wm5. I got windows error at the setup loader starting to install the program to PPC.
(Which is at "select language -> select install application -> show a list that things will to install -> and click next " after click that "next" icon, i got that error windows, the error message is "Tomtom setup application has encontered a problem and needs to close.")
if i can not install the 5.0 on wm5 , how can i upgrade to 5.10? i have been tried many ways to install it. some one post here said to copy 4 cab files to SD card. install one by one. but i can not find where i can start the tomtom 5 after i finish installation via one by one.
can anyone make full installation guide for how to install tomtom 5 on wm5, how to install the 5.10 upgarde package? how to setup tomtom 5 + BLUEtooth GPS reciver + Wm5 to work?
i think alot of people here still have installation and configuration problem about tomtom 5 via wm5.
hope to see the guide soon, Thanks

Rather easy, really.
1. Download the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom (You don't have to install the original 5.0 from the CD first). The file will be either an exe file or ppcup510.zip.
2. Unpack the zipfile (don't run the exe directly from WinRAR or similar programs, that will make it a lot harder to find the directories you want, unpack it to somewhere first). Run the update on the Windows PC. When the first window appears, go to the directory where the update is run from. You will see some new directories there, and what you want, is nvapp. Within that you'll find a subdirectory called app. Copy the four cab-files from that to your PPC, either via the network or ActiveSync. Never mind the ini files.
3. Go to your TomTom CD and find the directory Voice. You'll need to find the correct voice file. For Norway that's nor.cab, for Denmark it's dan.cab and so on. Copy that to the PPC as well.
4. Finally run all the five cabfiles. It doesn't matter which one you run first.
You're done. Of course there's the GPS as well:
1. Pair the Bluetooth GPS with the PPC.
2. Go into Settings, System, GPS. Set Program and hardware port to none and remove the tick from the box "Manage GPS automatically".
3. Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, COM Ports. Create an incoming port (I use COM8). Some ports will give you an error. Also create an outgoing port. I use COM7, and that is called "HOLUX GR-230 (COM7)" since I use a Holux GR-230 GPS.
4. Open TomTom and go through the regular setup. When you come to GPS setup, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and set that to the same port as your outgoing port. On my GPS that means COM7. Within 15 seconds your GPS should send signals. And you're good to go TomTom-ing!

TomTom for my Wizard?

Up till last week I had a T-Mobile MDA Compact and I'd got Tomtom (bakonl) running. Now I have a Wizard (T-Mobile from The Netherlands) and I can't install the Tomtom. Appears that WM2005 not compatible with Tomtom Version 5. Anyone got a plan to get arround this? :?:

To install TTN5 on WM5 you have to copy the cab files directly to pda and launch it with the pocket explorer (or resco explorer).

a bit more info to install tomtom and get it working

Thanks for the responses guys. I've given it a go and moved the cab files from the CD to my SD card and installed the GPS cab first. Then soft booted the Vario and then attempted to install the TTN cab.
All per the post :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29277&highlight=ttn
However... Still won't install correctly...
Am I doing something wrong?
Any more advice gladly received.
Thanks,

you need te get the tomtom 5.1 files then it works fine. I've got it working on my bleu angel with WM5, and today i installed in on my brother's vario and it worked just fine.

Thanks,
Can I ask... Where did you get the 5.1 files from?

You can download TTN5.1 from the following link
http://www.tomtom.com/updates/ppcupd510.exe

otherwise just use a torrent search engine, you should find it in no time

You need the zip file not the exe. AS4 messes up the installation.

Dear All,
I found this update this week..
http://users.skynet.be/wallpaper/TOMTOM5.1.zip (for more info see http://tomtom3.web-log.nl/log/856067 around - Mondeo :: 20 september 2005 16:18 -).
Note : Download, unzipp... connect your PDA/Phone via Sync cabel/station, setup.exe run. (I have installed it over my (bakonl) 5.0 version.... !!!).
Note 2 : Can ONLY be used if you have a BeNeLux version of bakonl TT5 and only with the BeNeLux map (normal or plus).......
Success with the upgrade.

TomTom with WM6.1 on HTC wizard
Good Morning,
can anybody support me in trying to setup a navigation functionality on my HTC wizard, that runs WindowsMobile 6.1 (those TNT edition)?
Unfortunately i can't find up to date information about which GPS-hardware to use. Is BlooTooth the only reasonable solution for the wizard?
I also plan to feed the tachymeter signal from my bicycle somehow. Has anybody read of approaches to this and can cite or link?
Third thing I'm in search of is an alternative camera software. The "Camera for Pocket PC Version 3.00" does not support geoTagging and not even writing in the Tags for Titling, commenting etc.
Many thanks for your valuable hints in advance.

MS Voice Command with new I-Mate ROM- is it working for you?

I really like having the MS Voice Command app, but I'm having problems installing it and getting it working with the new I-Mate ROM.
Is any one else seeing issues?
Thanks

I was having the same problem. What fixed mine is removing the 1.5 Voice Command update from my desktop only and then trying to reinstall.
If all else fails, try this:
1. Remove Voice Command from both desktop and phone.
2. Install old VC (1.0) to desktop and phone.
3. Remove 1.0 from just the phone and soft reset it.
4. Install 1.5 update to both desktop and phone.
Hopefully that should do it. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

@cliffai Already have a post about this...check link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=241813#241813

A few people seem to be having similar issues with the K-JAM AKU2 ROM. I used the process i have used on the older ROM's and it went fine for me.
1. Begin installation of VC 1.0 on the PC however when the installation on the device asks where you want to install, i pressed cancel.
2. Start setup of VC 1.5 on the PC and also do not let the install continue on the device.
3. Browse to x:\program files\microsoft activesync and locate the voice command 1.5 folder that was created in step 2 and copy the installation cab file to the device and execute using the inbuilt file manager / total commander etc. At this point, the installation should continue fine.
The Microsoft documentation states that the original VC should be installed to the PC (so ActiveSync can see the files) but removed from the device. As it was written for WM2003 etc i thought i would test the install without the original VC having ever been installed to the device and it works great. I really dont like installing non WM5 compatible apps on the K-JAM even if uninstalling straight away so i was way pleased this worked for me.
NOTE: In fact i have since realised that if installing VC 1.5 using the cab file instead of PC ActiveSync setup you do not even need to use the VC 1.0 setup at all as its only the PC ActiveSync setup that looks for the older version.
Chris

I loaded the base 1.5 install on the new SHIPPING version of the Imate Rom - no problems. Went right in without a peep and works fine.

Thanks Guys - going with the direct 1.5 cab method seems the easiest and worked

Ms VC 1.5 is working like a Charm...I use Cabs to instal and then fix to complete the installation...sound quality and clarity is much better I wud say best as compared to XDA2/2s/Uni (WM5 only)

Its a known issue and it doesn't matter what radio you are using. There is a fix, but it takes longer and is more of a hassle. First I don't know if you have signed up at MyTomTom.com yet or not, but you have to because the version that does work is not English speaking voices, so you will have to download an English voice. Go to the link in my signature under Programs, its called "Working TomTom", download it and install it to the device. If you need help getting the voices set up just let me know and I will walk you through it.

TYKDKobes finally got that installed. hopefully its better then the other navigation softwares I've tried so far.

Thanks will try this, finally got Nav 5 installed, but would like version 6 for newer maps. Sorry to be a bit thick, but do you mean to install the file I downloaded onto my device and the try to install Nav 6?

That CAB is TomTom Navigator 6. So just install it from your device.

Got it working, downloaded voices, Thanks heaps for you help!

In my signature is a link for all the free TomTom voices instead of trying to find them all. Just download the Zip file and extract it to your computer. You will need to REPLACE your current "voices" folder with this one. For instance my TomTom is installed on my Device, under Programs, Navigation, and in that folder you will see another folder called "voices" that is where TomTom stores its voices. All you are doing is taking the one you downloaded and replacing it with the old one. **this will replace any current downloaded voices**
"the zip file is located under cabs"

will install and test the application.
thanks

Hi, can you help me, I'm trying to install Tomtom 6 to my HTC cruise. I keep getting the message to update my ROM, I tried to follow the advice in this thread, but have failed. Can you walk me through it? Cheers

what is the speed of tomtom like on your device mate? mine is painful, screen refreshes every 1.5 seconds, whereas i get 15fps on another sat nav program (which actually holds reception better than tomtom too!)
TomTom support were helpful, told me to hard reset and try again. I think its a software issue with 6.032.
The other sat nav programs arem much more graphic intensive too, so i doubt its the graphics drivers.

Which version of TomTom did you download and install. Usually that error appears when you download the TomTomWWE(World Wide English). The one you need to download and install if you get that error is the Working TomTom CAB which can be found in my signature under CABS, Programs. Should work then.

how do I install the program from you're cab to my HTC cruise? I'm a bit of a novice at this, sorry.

Download the cab file to your computer, and copy it to your Device or Storage Card. Remember where you place the cab file because you will need to open it from you Phone using File Explorer. Now navigate to the file and click on it. It will automatically start to install, usually it will ask you to install to the Device or Storage Card, but this CAB will just install to the Device.

when I do this I get a message 'there is no application associated with..' run the application first, I can't get the tomtom application off my CD? sorry for being such a pain. Thanks for you're help.

Check your GPS speed in TomTom.
Go > Change Preferences > Show GPS Status > Configure > Oter NMEA GPS receiver > GPS baud rate > COM4
The GPS baud rate should be between 4800 and 9600, if its too fast mine exhibits the jerkiness as described in your post.

Kinda confused now. What do you mean you cant get the application off your cd? If you have downloaded the cab then you dont need the CD. After moving the cab to your phone go open it, by using your phones file explorer program(single click or double click) should automatically install itself. have you made it to that point?
This is also a great resource to TomTom 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330235

I downloaded the cab files from you're signature and then had a list of files which weren't associated with any program (they had the generic icon next to them) I then put all these files on my micro SD and put in my phone. I then went to these files on my phone using file explorer and there was still a list of generic icons. Maybe I did something wrong in the download. I downloaded with winRAR and extracted all the files to a folder on my desktop. I really appreciate you helping me, thank you.

No these files dont get extracted before moving to your phone. When downloaded the file should be a blue file folder icon called a .CAB. Once downloaded take that exact file and move it to your phone. Here is the link to the cab http://www.4shared.com/file/47123724/832a2d34/Working_TomTom.html

How to install Garmin if it wont install itself?

I got the latest garmin XT from the garmin site for my Tilt, and ran the installer on my pc. usually, when i put the memory card into the device, it automatically pops up with a window and asks me if i want to install it and where.
not this time though. and now i cant figure out how to actually install it. every file that i pick from the garmin files on the memory card doesnt actually install it properly. it doesnt show up in the programs screen, nore does it even come up in the manage programs screen. it works, but i have to use file explorer to actually launch the exe. its not really installed!
im using the L26 V8 lite rom.
please help!

I had the same problem on my tilt, I am using death v4 for my rom. I thought that I accidently downloaded the nokia verson or something cause nothing looked normal after it "installed". I don't know what to do either

working on dutty
Just info really...i'm on dutty's June release and Garmin installs and functions fine. You might want to consider this plus the latest SPL with being ROM being very smooth.

i have the latest hardspl. dutty's latest releases are too buggy.
just tried it with L26 V7, same.
No one knows how to properly manually install??

Did it create a folder on your storage card called 2257? If so, is there an autorun file in there?

Yeah the 2257 folder is there, tried to run the autorun file, still didnt actually install it

Take your storage card out, then put it back in. Does autorun start?
