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

This error comes up whenever I try to load new maps from the Destinator CD. Anybody seen it before?
I have loaded software/maps from this CD loads of times before and I have another copy and get the same results.
I've tried a differant desktop/xda/SD card
I can sync with outlook
I can load any other app
UK ROM 3.17
Any help would be really great.
Dan.
Which version of active sync are you using? I had problems with versions above 3.5 You can simply unzip the maps onto your sd card into the appropriate directory and the software finds them.

Tried 3.5 and 3.7
I friend gave me another copy of the cd and that worked. Really strange as I had 2 other copies of the cd and both were working.
Thanks for your help.
For anybody else using the latest Destinator software, make sure you are using your GPS in Sirf mode, Destinator is VERY flaky in NMEA mode, lost signal, slow updates, freezes etc.
Hi,
I'm running TomTom6 on my HTC TyTnII, with maps on microSD card.
Now, I accidentally deleted file "ttnavigator.bif" from card root.
Now TomTom6 stopped working. It says that no maps were found. (but there are still in the card root)
Please help.
Is there any way I can get the file, or generate it? Or something?
Thanks
there's a ttnavigator.bif file in the \program files\navigator directory too

Mine has the same file under \Storage Card\Program Files\Navigator. If yours does too you could try copying it to root. If not, I'm sure reinstalling it would work.
What map was it??? Also, go DL TomTOm Home from the TT website. You can use it to back up map, POI, Color Schemes, etc.
With TT Home you can back up & transfer all of your TT data between your device & your PC.
Thanks for quick reply.
I reinstalled the whole TomTom6 software as advised.
And it has generated the missing ".bif" file.
It's working again.
Thanks

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

Hey it worked, you're a dead set legend, thanks a lot mate
Trying to install Tomtom.. After transferring all the files and trying to click "Start" it won't do anything.. all the files are on the SD card.. Anyone help?
ok, so you are saying it installed correctly right? there were no errors after installation? did you try installing to your DEVICE not SD and seeing if it works?
it didnt install at all.. the whole folder is in the Storage card.. and it says to run the "Start" app to install.. clicked it.. and won't do anything..
Go to the root of the card, double click on start.exe, if it runs, create a short. Or find tomtom cab file and install it.
are you sure you have a working TomTom file. There are 2 in my signature try TomTom WWE first.

if the folder is empty then yea. i know when i downloaded my map it saved the cab file, try to save that in a spot where you won't delete it (its easier to just reinstall from the cab then find the site to redownload)
The internal GPS in the phone is COM:4 And if you don't have GPStest yet i would recommend getting it, by changing your baud rate you may get a quicker fix, and sometimes TomTom has trouble with getting a GPS signal and running GPStest first will jumpstart your GPS and TomTom will get a fix instantly.
Great, here we go again!
I've been trying to install tomtom 7 on my replacement HTC DIAMOND after successfully installing it on the first phone but it's just wont find the maps.
The same files that I used to install on the initial diamaond and the same ones i'm trying to install on the new device.
The meta file has been created and all that stuff successfully, copied all the files the the internal storage, get my device id to create the meta file, copied the file created back into the map folder, start tomtom "no maps found".
Anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong or is it that the files used (maps) have already been installed on a previous device?
cheers
You have a new device so a different devicecode. You need to contact tomtom support for a new mapcode.
From the procedure he describes I don't think that this is actually legal...

You sure its the same version of TomTom 7. Tomtom 7 stand alone VGA version is actually different (in terms of meta) than TomTom 7 for HTC Diamond.
Also, ensure your device ID has not changed.

Be aware of that the maps must be in the first level of the folder, not like
maps/maps only maps or whatever your mapfolder is called, usually the name of the map. This is a common mistake.

Yeah - just dump map folders in the root of the Internal Storage/storage card area
Yeap, the maps are in the first level folders on the storage card with the folder for voice & the raster folder.
So would the general consensus be that it should work on the new device ? I mean bear in mind I have installed it on the other device before and now I'm doing the same process on the new device and following the instuctions down to a T.
Hi, as far I know... After installing TomTom 7 you will have a "filename".bif in Program files\Navigator
open the .bif file and you will see your device code, use the code and you should find the cards.
