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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29606

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.

ATT WM6 iGO not working, gx.dll problem?

I've upgraded my vodafone to the at&t wm6 and iGO 2006 plus doesn't work correctly, it loads shrunken/compressed in the middle of the screen to the point of (almot) unusable, it worked fine on the wm5.
I think the problem is with the gapi, as when I tried using Morph gear with manual driver and selected gapi the screen was also compressed in the middle, and it too woked fine with gapi on wm5.
I know the GAPI is located at the gx.dll file, I can't delete or rename that file, anyone knows how to maybe put the gx.dll file from wm5 on the wm6?

Hello
I have the same Problem with I-GO and WM6
So i flashed back to WM5 :-(

treo 750v, flashback ?
I have the same problem with my treo 750v. Moreover also my phone is now locked, whereas initially I could use ith wiht any provider. I know this was nog a smart move by now. Question is how to solve this. Anybody has a clue ?
According to palm it is not possible to flash back to WM5. However I read in previous post they recovered wm5, was this also with palm 750v ?
Hope somebody can help.

how do you perform a rollback to wm5
can some help in telling me how to perform a rollback to wm5 on the treo 750v to the 1.16 firmware version.

IGO - Treo 750 - WM6 problem
Hi there!
Could you figure out something about the IGO display problem that occurs after WM6 upgrade?
I have beed playing around with the sys.txt file changing settings in the [interface] and [gx] sections. I have also tried to replace the gx.dll GAPI library with the latest one.
No success so far.
Please, let me know if you have any progress on this!
Thanks!

Solution for running iGO on Treo 750 with WM6
Please verify if the following solution works:
- Create a file in your iGO folders called sys.txt
- The file should contain the following section:
[interface]
gxoff=1
It already worked for a few Treo users.

Hi:
I would love to try this. I am somewhat of a newbie though, can you please give further instructions? I of course understood the part about creating new file, from there I got a little lost. Do I create a text document with gxoff=1 as the actual text
in it? Sorry if this is a dumb question
Thanks!

Well, am VERY happy to report, that the excellent advice given by rmplus, worked perfectly after I figured out that I had to include the entire text (I was leaving off the [interface] portion):
[interface]
gxoff=1
in a .txt file called sys.
THANKS SO MUCH

Does anyone happen to know of a fix like this for Jewel Challenge?
I am having the same problem.
Thanks!

after i did this i am getting an error:
C:\GPS_2006R3_iGOSE\firefly\base\core\ffsurface.cpp.299
Exception in EndPaint
exiting application

Hi all
I'm having exactly the same problem as gilmargolin - above. iGO 2006 worked perfectly under WM5 (one of the few programs that did). iGO Tech Support says the program is not supported on WM6, but someone must have an idea as it is only a screen resolution problem.
Cheers

Yep - verbatim. I stored the sys.txt file in the SD card iGO folder root. If I place the file anywhere else sensible, I get a hardware error. Frustrating!

That's too bad. Not to be funny, but did you make sure to include the entire text, just as it's listed?
[interface]
gxoff=1
On my first try I left off the [interface] part, and it wouldn't work.
Good Luck

Nope - nothing so simple. Sigh...

Ugh, that's too bad. Sorry I couldn't be any help.

I resolve problem Igo 2006 on Treo 750 WM6
1. Uninstall previous iGo version from Treo 750
2. Copy install files of June iGo version on the root of SD card (folders [2577] & [iGo])
3. Start autorun.exe from folder [2577]
4.Put in [Igo] folder on SD card, "sys.txt" file with
[interface]
gxoff=1
And that's it!
It works for me.

Thanks!!!
It worked perfectly!!!

Does it work really slower then how it works regularly on WM5?
On my device there are frezzes of couple of seconds.

[TomTom6] "ttnavigator.bif" missing

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
