Has anyone managed to get speed cameras working with the tomtom 6.032 software? I have some speed camera files from a standalone tomtom and am not sure if they might work with my kaiser. FYI im using the western european maps if that makes any difference.
What kind of files do you have and where have you placed them??
There should be:
*.ov2 (data location file)
*.bmp (image)
*.ogg (sound)
And they must be placed in your Western Europe folder (not in a subfolder in that folder!)
Mine are working absolutely fine.
Mine are also working fine, providing you've got the right files they just need to be placed in the map folder. They will still work without the *.ogg but Tomtom will just use the beeps and sirens instead of voice warnings if the ogg files are missing.
If you are still struggling PM me and I'll try and help out with the relevant files
Ive had a look and the speed camera files are already in the western europe folder. however i cannot see the sound files. Is there a download for all the speed camera data or should it just be included with the european map? i can see the speed camera settings under the tom tom plus services menu but the only thing i can click on is "update now" which doesnt do anything. the buttons to switch on the speed camera warnings are greyed out, how do i enable this?

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?
Hello,
Im having a TomTom 6 problem on my ATT Tilt. I am still running ATT Rom. Nothing has really been severly modded on the phone.
I am trying to disable the autostart function on TomTom when I soft reset or insert the micro SD. I have read several posts and tried everything I have seen.
Such as...delete the autostart.exe file, rename the autostart.exe file, delete the 2577 folder, rename the 2577 folder, encrypt the 2577 folder. All of these actions have stopped the autostart feature, however when TomTom is opened, it comes up NO MAPS FOUND.
Any help is appreciated.

is this the purchased version? or did you download some torrent? sounds like it is a torrent but if it was purchased ask for your money back because there shouldn't be a 2577 folder, at least i didn't get one.
I recommend searching tomtom 6032 cab. Install this cab and delete everything else except for your maps from your sd card. After you have that installed you need other software like gpstest, gpsrouter, and quickgps to get tomtom6 working efficiently on your tilt. Here are the steps I have to do:
1)gps router com 4 baud 4800 (this opens your gps system)
2) gpstest basically finds gps satelites
3) open tomtom6
4) open quickgps test and download updates
if tomtom doesn't work after this close tomtom and repeat steps 3 and 4. Also you may want to play around with different settings such as "other nmea gps receiver" set at com 4 baud 4800 and "built-in gps receiver".
Ya its not purchased version. I have several friends with it and they do not have the same problems. However their phones are unlocked, i dont know if this makes a difference. I am using quick gps to keep my GPS location current, and i have GPSgate from franson to turn on the GPS for TomTom. The TomTom program functions normally, everything seems to work except for this autostart feature. Is the .cab you are talking about a free download? Is it a full version? Thanks for the info.
Renaming autostart files will be sufficient.
Some people have downloaded Tomtom legally for the TytnII or have it as an installed file / on the CD with the phone.
This version of TT is a taster version and does not come with any maps !.
If TT cannot 'see' any maps, check that the maps are within the SD cards root directory, if not, then this is the cause of your problem.
Renaming autorun will not 'mess' with the maps ... renaming autorun is often a necessity if you install iGO and TT together as both have autorun files - and iGO does not like it's autorun being renamed
I have tried renaming the autorun.exe but when you open tomtom there are no maps. I have no idea how the two are connected. The maps are in a folder called north_america as soon as i explore to my SD card. also i am not familiar with that iGo program, what does it do?
The autostart & the 2577 folder are part of the installation of TomTom for PocketPC (the software, not the maps). I believe there are several files & folders on the memory card that may be safely deleted. (I deleted them after installation, and am not having issues)... Of course, because I deleted them, I can't check which ones there were, unfortunately. There should be an AutoStart.something or other, an TTN.cab, an autorun.exe, and the 2577 folder that could be deleted after successful installation.
After you successfully install TomTom, you need to start up the program itself, and activate the maps, then the software should see them...

Are you sure that you don't have two folders called voice i.e. voice/voice?
i've just one folder called "voices"..in it i've the files of chiara's voice that i've downloaded from the tomtom official site
The folder has to be in the root of the internal storage and called "Voices"
Then in tomtom you need to select the voice.
I had the same problem with some funny voices. You have to go to the menue and choose the option to show you every language.
You have to create a 'voices' folder under \Program Files\Navigator and place the .CHK and .VIF files in the voices folder and then open up tomtom and choose the voices.
Don't forget the .ini file!!
You put the voices files (.vif, .chk, .bmp) in your "voices" folder AND YOU MUST HAVE the collected.ini file in the same folder.....place the voices folder in the the root of Internal Storage. Appears that the older voice files for TT5 and TT6 needs the .ini file to work (for me anyway!!)
A little question: can be activated the TTS with tomtom? (i've read it's only for PNA devices?)
...i think there is a trick, because currently i am using the ttom tts voices fixed for iGO8 ... they can be used for another app and not for tomtom on the pda?
Damn, collected.ini is the one file I'm missing.. any idea where I can get that?

I don't have this file...can I create it with notepad?
i got it and i hope my way is available to you.
firsr, there are three files of each voice with the name format of data**(** is several numbers)
second, these three files are saved in the folder 'voices', which is in the fold of tomtom file saved in.(for me, that is \internal storage\program files\navigator\)
last, when you run tomtom and change the voice, there will be a prompt indicating whether you will choose the same language, choose NO even you plan to select an english voice.
i am using tomtom 7.450.9028 in diamond.
i created the voices folder and didn't need the collected.ini file for the voices to work, cheers.
TomTom Voices Working
It took me two days to work it out myself. I had no problems with the files themselves, my issue was that I had installed tt7 on my SD card. I re-installed it to the Device and was able to then upload the new voices easily enough.
One tip: I used the "Explore" option in MS ActiveSync to navigate to the correct folder and dragged the voices I wanted over to the folder ("voices") located in the /Program Files/Navigator folder on the device. Full Path: /Program Files/Navigator/voices
Be sure to check "No" when it asks if you want to use the current language, or you may not see your new voices.
The *.vif files are plain text and are interpreted by tt7 to discover the voice's sex and languge. There are three numbers below the data*.chk entry which seem to indicate this and I'm not sure what else. Most of the newer tt7 files I downloaded had three numbers, anyway. The third-party (simulated) celebrity voicesI downloaded did not have these and tt7 seemed to think they were "Chinese" or "Special". It's not really worth it for me to fiddle around with various values in the *.vif files, but someone may wish to tweak them...
Limit?
Is there a limit of the amount of voices stored in the voices folder.
My Navigator only picks up before DATA121. Beyond that it doesnt appear.
I have my TomTom installed on my storage card and voices on my storage card.
I have managed to get TomTom 7 working by putting the maps in the 'my documents' folder, but I have a problem with the dowloaded POI's.
They install from TomTom Home ok, but they do not appear on the Diamond.
I have no trouble installing voices from the Home.
Another problem is that the safety cameas do not show up on the map..but they appear when driving.
Can anyone tell me the folders each thing should be put into...e.g. safety cameras, poi's, voices etc, also some files are TLV, and some are TOC...which ones should they be?
Many thanks
POI's: place "yourPOI's.ov" and "yourPOI's.bmp" inside the map folder.
Voices: place voice file "data##.CHK" and "data##.BMP" in folder Voices.
I don't have safety camera original available from tomtom so I don't know about it; but I have some red light camera file save as POIs. If this is your case, it should be treated as normal POIs. Be sure to set "warn when near POI" and "Warn only if POI is on route."
You may try to check options "Points of Interest" when "Browse map of route"
Note: I save all tomtom voices, schemes and maps folder in the root of the storage card because I have Raphael (aka FUZE, Touch PRO.)
Thanks Nghiem, but my poi's are all TLV files, and TomTom Home put them in a poi folder. Maybe the file and program structure is different in TomTom 7 ?
Also the only reference to poi's in my map folder is a file called poi.dat..all the existing poi's work ok, its only the ones that are downloaded by TomTom Home that don't work
Can anyone shed some light on this?
many thanks
I have tomtom since they made tomtom 5 when you could purchase and run it for PDA legally in U.S Right now I have tomtom 7.xx and maps version 8.30.xxx. The "poi.dat" you see inside map folder is the original POI's from tomtom. All others POI's format are *.ov. and it can be downloaded extra via tomtom Home. I download and install some of them e.g "Haunted_Hotel.ov2" without any problem.
Hello there,
I've done a little search but couldn't find a solution. If that's my bad, sorry.
I've just installed iGO8 R3 on my 130Kaiser-wm6.1 and downloaded a Voice pack.
Then I sent the Zip files to the Content/Voice folder, but it says No Voice Files Found and denies starting iGO.
ALthough I knew all the voice files reside as .zips in my 6915, I put the sound files as folders (same names as zips) under Voice folder.
Still the same fatal error.
Voice files are there, but it just can't use them?
Please, I'm gonna travel bout 200 kms on nearly unknown roads and I don't have a GPS =)
Thank you, and sorry again if this is a repost.
There are different errors that can keep iGo from starting; I had this for a while, something about no language files. What is the exact message you receive? Files required in the Content folder:
Storage Card\iGo8\Audio\ (I don't know what these files do, but I think they are Required)
Storage Card\iGo8\Content\LANG\ (These are the language files and are Required)
Storage Card\iGo8\Content\MAP\ (These are your maps and are Required)
Storage Card\iGo8\Content\POI\ (These are your points of interest and I think may be Required)
Storage Card\iGo8\Content\Voice\ (These are your voices and are Required)
All of these files should have come with the purchased version of iGO8,
