I have installed Tomtom Nav 6 on my XDA IIS, I did it all from a 2gig SD card. Tomtom will only read maps if I put them in the 'storage' folder in the internal memory. It won't read them from the SD card, any ideas???
cheers
I installed mine on 2gig SD card as well, and when doing manage maps, it shows the map without problem (didn't do anything special)
The maps are at the root folder on the SD card
(e.g. \Storage Card\Canada-Alaska)
I have this problem with the voices, but the maps work fine.

Hi.. don't know for sure about tomtom6. but in 5.2 there is a file in "my documents\tomtom" called "CurrentMap.dat"
This must be modified to point to the correct location of your map. ie
\Storage Card\Australia-Map\
Btw... what maps do you have?
Hope this helps

I have the GB map...I have kind of 'fixed' it now. I used a regeditor and renamed my SD card to 'storage' and now it picks up the maps.
cheers

I had this strange problem. After reflashing OS I installed TT6 and .cap voices, but they wouldn't show up in TT6. From memory I end up Hard Reseting PDA again. This fix voice problem.

I just bought a 8925 and tomtom 6.203 but i am installing it from the SD card. i cant get it to work at all. i copied the tomtom info on to the sd card and can install it on to the phone but it does not work - says 'no maps found' and it doesnt give me the same options as listed in this post - it doesnt offer to 'configure the GPS select other NMEA GPS receiver Click select' its like it skips that step. i dont know if this is even an issue but locating maps are!
i created 3 folders under the tomtom folder on the SD card - total size is 1.6gb
1. north america 675
2. tomtom 6.2 cab file
3. alternative voices
i've tried to leave the folders in that order on the sd card and also put everything into the tomtom navigation (once it was installed) just to see if tomtom is looking in a direct folder. nothing!
i have installed tomtom to storage card not the device (but i did try that as well and same thing)
Any ideas? any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Did you read the instructions?
tomtom no maps
figured it out - it was the bluetooth explorer - it needed to be shut off in order for tomtom to work... DONE! no i cant get the voices folder to be recognized - anyone know?
I feel like a dumbass. I purchased navigator 6 and us/canada maps from Amazon and seemingly got quite an old version. I'm running 6.030 software and 660 maps.
hope fully it works is iowa missing?
I have tomtom v7 on my Tilt. But it is not reading voices or maps. is there a certain folder i have to put it in? i am having trouble installing. if someone could please help out. thanks..
The maps should either be put on the root of your storage card or in the my documents folder of your storage card/main memory.
Something that has annoyed me with the new TOM TOM after an update from TOM TOM Home it installed it on my main memory instead of storage card so therefore it now takes up so much room that I can't install any more programs. Any way of modding the installation cab to install on my storage card instead ????
Have searched and also tried using pocket mechanic to move whole program to storage cars but then the gps refused to lock on.

..when installing tt on internal storage map share will not work any more!
Move all files except tthome.bif (created when connecing to tthome) to the internal memory, create a Program (or Program files folder head memory. (I don't have an english version and am not sure of which name.)
Keep a copy of CurrentMap.dat and UserPatch.dat in the original folder.
Home works, everything else as before. Not sure if this is the nicest way, but it works.
P.S. You have to create a new shortcut to TomTomNavigator.exe in the programs folder, and delete the old one.
Thanks have sorted it by filling up my main memory with MP3's etc then trying to install the cab. It then says memory full do you want to install on storage and voila sorted.

nice one, good trick
I know on the Garmin website it says you can’t take the maps off their pre-loaded SD Card but I’ve seen on here that people have done it. Has anyone done this? Can you put them on another larger SD card or even the internal memory?
Thanks,

Most of those people did not buy their Garmin maps from Garmin
Yes you can use it on your own card. I use Garmin on my 8gb card.

OK, cool, so I should just buy the pre-loaded card and then transfer it?
Yes you can do that. However Garmin will not recognize the maps on the new card (larger) outright and you need to generate an unlock code using a map unlocker. You can search for that in the forum. you'll need to create 2 files gm.unl and sw.unl and put it in the garmin folder on the SD Card. then Garmin should pick it up.
All the SD cards have an integral ID number, that is what Garmin looks for... The ID of the card matches the ID registered in the app.
There are ways of generating new unlock keys, but that bordering on violating this site's piracy terms... it is definately against Garmin's.
anything beyond this lies with Google
move all mobile xt to SD?
is it possible to run mobile xt from the SD card to save space on the phone?
i installed aka transfered Garmin XT onto my 8g SD
and i run it from SD, on first run it will always install a few reg settings, but i have hard reset my ppc several times, but as long as i run queppc.exe from the garmin folder in my SD it wont require an install.
also all you have to do is install garmin onto your SD card, and put your code into the folder. theres not special SD codes, or anything of that nature.. i say this as i have moved it from card to card, as long as the sw.unl is in the folder it works.
then i use garmin desktop software to backup my waypoints.
another note, the folder 2577 is not needed for anything. what this folder does is when you INSERT your SD card, it reads whats in that folder and runs it. this is not garmin specific, its USB stick all the way to flash drive tricks.
I believe talking about this is against the rules since there was another topic similar to this that was closed. I will recommend that you use Google.
Hi,
I am trying to load TomTom 6 maps on to my HTC Diamond and having trouble.
I copied the WesternEurope directory into the root of the internal storage and its working. Tried the same with maps for USA & Canada but these maps are not showing up in the TomTom.
Any suggestions on what to do!?
Thanks,
Sg

not sure if it will work try putting them in my documents in storage.
Do you mean that I create a My Documents folher under Storage and locate the maps dir inside? If so, tried it but nothing so far
Got it.. There was another sub directory which after removing everythings working.. tx
