Check your 'voices' folder. It sounds like you don't have any voices installed.
Does it work as normal except for voice or does it not allow you to use it without a voice set?

I didn't put any in there...Where would I find this folder????
The install should have done it for you. Where did you get your copy of tomtom?
Also. The voices folder should be on you storage card in the root.
here is my voices folder. Just copy it to your storage card and then soft reset your phone. After which, go to 'my device\Program Files\Navigator\voices' and delete the 'collected' file. If that file is missing, tomtom will re-scan for voices and "should" find your new voices.

Good deal. So your voices folder is in your main memory? You must not have any maps then since they are pretty big. If your folder is in main memory you should be able to just copy them there. Maybe.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get a 4gig for 12 bucks?
The normal use of tomtom is to put all the files on the the SD then put the SD card into your tilt. Once you put the SD card into your tilt for the first time, tomtom installer will automatically load and install tomtom to your tilt. After which it will launch tomtom navigator and walk you through the setup procedure. Are you installing tomtom from your computer via a tomtom installer? Like tomtom home? What version is it(both home and the actual tomtom on your tilt)? It would be ideal if you are using a tomtom installer on your computer to install it on a SD card. Then it would save you space and work the way I was describing it. Where did you get your copy of tomtom? Was it from xda-developers? Did you buy it? Or did you get it from someplace that can not be talked about(please do you mention anything about pirated software or warez)? Just say other.
It's important to have a later version like tomtom 6.036 or higher. I realize this is a lot of stuff but it's important. Take your time. Plus I'm drunk and babeling on. Hopefully you can understand it. I'll be back on in 8-10 hours.

I have obtained the USA & Canada maps but I'm missing the ''install'' file that will get tomtom to recognize the map. Any clue on how i can TOMTOM to regonize the map from my SD? (also tomtom home does not find the map either)
Possibly someone can show me where i can attach the install file to the map? I tried to search but could not find anything.

Not sure what format your map is in but if it's a folder with the map and other files in then just put the folder on the root of the SD card. If it's compressed (Zip etc) then extract it first. Tomtom should auto search for map files when it opens.
Maybe you could say what format the file is in.

Well when I installed TT and downloaded the one city map for free, it saved that in my \StorageCard\My Documents\<cityname> folder. The Western European maps I had I just copied into \StorageCard\My Documents\Western_Europe, started TomTom and did a 'switch map' in the menu. Asked me for the code and voila, it worked. Maybe a similar thing will work for you.

Yes, it is likely set to look in specific places so in your example it's

and mine works on

Agreed. the root of my storage card looks like HELL because of tomtom. I wish I knew if I could delete most of it or just move it all into a 'tomtom' subfolder.

Please PM if you figure this out. For one, I can't stand having it so cluttered, and two, I want to know what can safely be deleted. I mean, it's taking up a full gig on my storage card. Anyone know how to get rid of the canada maps? That should free up some space.
I have all my files associated with the map contained in a folder with the exact same name as the map - so no clutter of random tomtom files.
e.g.
In my case I have on the root of the SD Card:
Folder named:
GB_Plus_Major _Roads_of Western_Europe
Inside this folder is the actual Map file also called:
GB_Plus_Major _Roads_of Western_Europe
Also in the folder are all my safety camera files, favourites file etc etc maybe 40-50 files.
I'm not certain how "deep" tomtom will look. In other words will it find maps buried more than 1 tree level down? I assume not, but at least that allows all the files to be put in a tomtom specific folder. I can only assume therefore that the above poster who has his map in the Mydocuments folder has it as a file not in a folder and lots of the subsidiary files kicking around inside MyDocuments. I prefer a named folder on the root purely for Tomtom maps etc..

Right, but if you load various regional maps, you have a bunch of directories in your root: e.g. for the USA you might have AL,CO,FL,NY maps - except they're all clusters of states so it might be AL_LA_GA_FL and CO_WY_NV_AZ and NY_NJ_PA etc.
For Mapopolis I had: MAPS\FL, MAPS\CO, MAPS\NY, etc... so only 1 directory in the root was Mapopolis data.
TT6 does not appear to look anywhere below the root of the storage card for maps - at least it did NOT work when I tried to move all my map directories into TomTomMaps\xxxxxx.
The "key" I'm interested in would be something like "TomTomRoot = \" and change it to "TomTomRoot = \TomTomMaps\"
Does that make sense?

Erm, mine are in storage card/Tomtom/GB map. Have always had it this way, in version 5 and 6. (6.030). Are you talking about something else here?
All my voices,POI etc are also in their own folders in the Tomtom folder on my card. In fact the only thing that isn't is the 7 digit postcode search which is on the device memory.

Nope, that's exactly what I'd like - if I move all those folders to \Storage Card\TomTom\ then neither TomTomHOME nor the PPC app see the maps, etc.

I have an AT&T tilt. This is with the ROM that comes with it. not cooked.
Make sure that you have deleted any other version of TomTom from your Tilt. Make sure you have deleted any old maps and map directories "\Storage Card\My Documents\"
1) Copy the cab over to your card
2) Run the cab
3) Copy your maps over to "\Storage Card\My Documents\". Mine were saved on my computer and called USA_and_Canada_v.675.1409.zip , make sure you are paying Tomtom because stealing is wrong.
4) Run TomTom
5) Go to Change Preferences|Show GPS status|Configure
6) Make sure the selected GPS receiver is "Built-in GPS receiver"
that's it. It should work from then on.

what version of tomtom is this?
The version number is 6
Can you download the maps?
I don't mind paying for the activation code, I just want to able to download and pay whatever it costs to avtivate the service from TomTom.
Buy Maps online?
Yes! Download and install Tomtom Home to your PC, then click on the link "buy the latest maps" It will show you all the maps available. Note: the price is in Euro and a single, cheapest map is 39.95 Euro. They have USA regional maps (New England_Mid Atlantics, Plains, etc) each cost 59.95 Euro. Hence, it is expensive to buy map online.
Kireol,
Thank you very much! I've been trying to move my maps out of the root of my 4G card for weeks!
I just wanted to say thanks for helping me finally get tomtom on to my tilt. I had been trying for three days and couldnt get it to work. Finally got it to work. Dont know what I was doing wrong but it work. Just followed the instructions and it went like a charm. Maybe I was tired. Thanks a bunch
If you want to add the standard TomTom Voices to your Kaiser after installing this all you need to do is Download & install TomTomHOME from TomTom's website. It will allow you to download and install all of the standard voices.
yup Kyphur is right. also, if you download some free ones, you can just copy them to your \Storage Card\Voices directory.
Here's a site with a bunch of free TomTom voices (I'm using John Kleese):
http://gps-data-team.com/pda-gps-navigation/links/index.php
Follow the free voices sticky.
Also:
The cab from page 1 on this thread works just perfectly on my Tilt flashed with the TyTN II ROM. As part of the installation, you can also download a free city map to play with. It automatically detects the Kaiser builtin GPS.
Very cool software.
I have the AT&T Tilt (Kaiser). When I select the GPS, it does not show the built in GPS. How do I get it to show the built in GPS. I have the TT MKii external one, but if I could use the built in one, it would be even better. Thanks!
I just set it up before seeing this thread and mine didnt say "internal GPS" but only one of the options was not for a bluetooth gps, so I choose that, and it asked me what com port to use, I said Com 4, and it worked fine. I am using AT&T Rom.
But, I would really like to clean up my Memory Card also, so now I gotta see if I can get all the tomtom files into a folder instead of the root of the memory card.
That worked! Thanks! Now I don't have to carry my external TT GPS around...
U R the man!!!!!!

kireol,
You are the man!!! I've been fooling with this #@%# thing off and on all day. I've been through countless threads and numerus cab files with all negative results.
After reading your post I tried that cab and it worked fantastic. I picked up 4 satellites sitting in the house and 7 when I went outdoors. I had already tried 6.01 with the US maps to no avail. I just installed your cab without uninstalling and everything worked great.
Thank you so much!!!!! Just wish I'd found your post this morning.
Wow! Very nice!
Thanks Man...
I'm going to get me some maps now...
no problem guys
sometimes I think this post should be stickied heh. even i forget about it
Just a random question,
This community is allways knowledgable so any insight would be great!
I got TOMTOM for my kaiser today and I was attempting to install it
to my SD card (8gig..6 of which free) but during the installation
process i didnt even get the option to change the installation location.
it just auto-installed to my internal mem. not so bad but after i start
adding voices and maps its going to not be enough space. So my question
is ...is there a way to reroute programs to the SD post installation...forcably
install to an SD..or link parts to a program, like maps for a GPS, from an SD.
thanks for any insight kaiser fans!
you can install tomtom on your device and place the voices and the maps of the sd card
I installed the voices on the SD...it wasnt able to find them until they were added to the specific "voices" folder. is there a way to make tomtom look elsewhere for the files? or a way to shortcut into the original directory? preferably id love to find away to override it and force the entire program to install onto my SD...I havent the slightest on how to do that though.

Is this normal for TomTom??
Installation locations are chosen/set by the SW author at the time of cab creation. There may be a way of re-directing this but it would probably cause a heap of problems.
Installation of the main apps to internal memory is usually done to give the maximum speed efficiency of regularly called files, SD card access is much slower than main memory.
Bit of a trade off...
Couldn't say if it was normal for tomtom,
its my first time installing it/using it. But what you said about memory in general makes ALOT of sense. Thanks!
I'll keep poking around tomtom forums specifically for a way to link the features to the SD..maps, voices, POIs etc. thanks for the advice.
did you place the voice files in the root of the sd card??
create a folder called "voices" in the root of the sd card and then place the voice files in there
as for the maps, put the folder of the maps in the root of the sd card
That worked like a charm!
Thanks for the help. I didnt have them in the root directory i was just trying to find a way to link my custom dir.

Don't think I'm lazy, I've seen the ones on the product sites but you and I know it always looks different in real life.

I'm an iGuidance fan.
1 - The prog comes with PPC, PC and UMPC versions at no additional charge.
2 - Whole US, Canada in 1.2gig, no map loader juggling needed
3 - It has a "hibrid" Text-to-speech engine that talks directions with full street names.
4 - You can run it from your own memory card and not have to insert a specific "garmin" memory card. (This alone is a deal breaker for me, Garmin can pound sand until they stop locking their software to memory cards and external GPS receivers).
5 - I'm too lazy to post pics, but the iGuidance is a very mature product. It has 2D, 3D views with programmable hardkeys, I've used it since v1 beta and it's the best overall value in my eyes. I own TomTom, Mapopolis, Copilot, PMN, Destinator and prefer iG4.

So, you're saying that Garmin on the PPC is pretty close to or exactly what you see on the screenshots. That's great.
But I gotta tell ya, I'm glad the guy below says you have to run it from THEIR card because I have an 8gb and I can't bare to be without it. So Garmin XT is totally out.

iGuidance is it then! Thanks for the tip about Garmin. Didn't know you needed their GPS receiver and to use their card. Pound sand on that ****....DEAD ON.
I loaded Tomtom and it was out immediately, their GUI was so raggedy.
Now I just gotta research vendors.
One note on iGuidance and WM6.1 roms, you need this dll workaround;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368373
Otherwise you need GPsgate software as there is something going on the the internal GPS port. iG4 works fine with WM6.0 roms. Also you need to close any active data connection before launching iG4 or it won't start up. You can open a data connection after iG4 is running. These are minor to me and will probably be fixed in the next release as 6.1 goes mainstream.
you can see some of the screen shots from their website:
http://inavcorp.com/product/gallery/iguidance_gallery.php
looks like they are showing a UMPC screen, but it looks the same (except for the dimensions) on the Tilt.
Here's the PPC Screen shots;

that is not 100% correct... they WANT you to run it from their card, yes. There are some very simple hacks to copy it to whatever card you want... I have it running on 8GB right now. I like it.
Sadly, nothing I have done will get GarminXT running on my Tilt on my own memory card.
It launches, but it refuses to find the maps. I have gone through several steps to try to resolve this, including the "fixes" mentioned.

Works fine for me. I have found there are several different how-to's... I have cleaned up the one I found to work.
If you have your unlock codes for your maps, which you do I'm sure, then this will get your own SD card working just fine.
HOW-TO...
1. Connect the phone via Active Sync and browse to the storage card.
2. Copy the Garmin folder onto the storage card.
BUT, don't move the two .unl files or the map file to the storage card.
3. Run Mapsource on the PC and go to tools> get unit id. Copy the Device ID to the clipboard.
or Run IMEI Converter, put in Phone IMEI and convert to 'Garmin Unit ID'.
4. Using Garmin Unlock Generator tool (Keygen v1.3.exe) paste in 'Unit ID'
5. Select map product
6. Click both generate buttons.
7. Copy 'GM XT Device unlock code' from keygen into notepad, save as 'SW.unl'
8. Copy 'SW.unl' to 'Storage Card\Garmin' on the phone.
9. Copy the 'map unlock code' from the keygen.
10. In Mapsource go to utilites>unlock maps. Complete the wizard using the map unlock code.
11. In Mapsource choose the maps that you want to transfer and select transfer>to device.
Using this method, there appears to be no need for the GMAPSUPP.UNL file. Also, I did not need to run QueSetupSP.cab. I also did not seem to need reboot the phone.
Using the steps you outlined resulted in Garmin hanging during launch.
I am hard resetting my phone right now and starting fresh.
Question: Which phone are you using, and are you using a Garmin bluetooth GPS receiver, or the integrated GPS in the phone?
I was a long time user of iGuidance. Garmin XT is much better...
I would go into all of the reasons but I cant be arsed.
I can also tell you that you CAN get it to work on your own SD card (cause the one it comes on is WAY too small for anything else)
I still use iGuidance on my carpc because it is pretty good and no otehr company has a touch screen friendly interface (at the moment)

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there will be any way that we can use IGO8 on the Diamond?
I know that for them moment that is a no-no since there is an absence for a SD card, but is there a way that there will be a way around it ???maybe with the modification of the SYS.txt file?
Thanks

the internal 4GB memory in the Diamond is identified as a "Storage Device" so it shouldnt be a problem.
IGO 8 crash with Diamond...Look HERE
How did he test it?
You can run iGo8 only from the original SD-card (copy protection)!!!
It is not possible to copy the files an run it from another SD-Card.
So it will not be possible to use it on the diamond.

he tested it with cracked igo 8... so it is possible!
I had problems with iGO8 on my P3650 Touch Cruise and i found out that if you disable "Assisted GPS" it will work. I used Pocket Toolman to disable that. I did deleted those two files in the "2577" folder and made myself an shortcut that i placed in \Windows\Start Menu folder. Now it works like a charm. When you don't disable Assisted GPS it crashes all the time. Hope this will help.
You didn't read carefully ... :

I think discussion about illegal software is not really purposeful.
The original poster asked if he will be able to use iGo8 with the diamond.
And the answer is a simple no, as it only works with the included SD-card.

It will work if you place it in the 4 gig space, make a shortcut of iGO.exe in \windows\Start Menu and it will start up and work just fine.

No it will not.
It works only with the SD-Card it came.
iGo8 hast the same copy protection as iGo6 - the program ist bound to the specific SD-card.
Just ask navngo.

This is actually ridiculous: I get a GPS phone and can't install ANY GPS program on it? As far as I know, they all come on SD cards!

its not the hardware manufactor's fault that the software developer cannot write a piece of software to function without a microSD card.

What did you mean by crashes? I have a touch diamond and i have tried to install a version on my device.
What I have done is placed the two folders iGO8 and 2577 folders into the inboard storage of my phone I have then unplugged the phone from the data cable and it then asks me if i want to install iGO, i click yes and it installs, through the instalation, it asks me a unknown publisher wants to acces something, i just click yes, the installation ends up finishing and the program tries to load, then bang nothing, it just goes to the menu screen i was previously on, I then try to access the program through the start menu and programs folder, it tries to execute but then just stops. nothing happens. I have also tried the same thing after a soft reset.
is nthis the kind of issue you were having ?

why don't you try running it by disabling A-GPS using PPC Toolman? The other member claims that with this way, he got it to run using another device though

Exactly, thats what i did and it runs like hell. Sometimes you can go mad when you reboot and get that install again, just delete the two files from 2577 folder.

Yes, but only navngo uses the SD card ID as copy protection. All other progams should function. E.g. TomTom will be included on the O2 version of the diamond.

I couldn't even install that program PPC toolman, i downloaded the link on that page, I put the files on my internal storage and clicked on them through file manager, it just gave me an error message.
I even put the files in My device section of my hard drive and still nothing.
TBH, i have NFI what i'm gonna do next.

I totally agree - that was meant as a critique for the software houses. I'm buying the Diamond

I have sent you a private message. Check that out and let us know the result. I don't have a Diamond but I got iGO8 working on a device with the SD card removed, so it should work on the Diamond as well...
