Rather easy, really.
1. Download the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom (You don't have to install the original 5.0 from the CD first). The file will be either an exe file or ppcup510.zip.
2. Unpack the zipfile (don't run the exe directly from WinRAR or similar programs, that will make it a lot harder to find the directories you want, unpack it to somewhere first). Run the update on the Windows PC. When the first window appears, go to the directory where the update is run from. Don't close the TomTom window, or the files you want will be deleted. You will see some new directories there, and what you want, is "nvapp". Within that you'll find a subdirectory called "app". Copy the four cab-files from that to your PPC, either via the network or ActiveSync. Never mind the ini files.
3. Go to your TomTom CD and find the directory Voice. You'll need to find the correct voice file. For Norway that's nor.cab, for Denmark it's dan.cab and so on. Copy that to the PPC as well.
4. Finally run all the five cabfiles. It doesn't matter which one you run first.
You're done. Of course there's the GPS as well:
1. Pair the Bluetooth GPS with the PPC.
2. Go into Settings, System, GPS. Set Program and hardware port to none and remove the tick from the box "Manage GPS automatically".
3. Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, COM Ports. Create an incoming port (I use COM8). Some ports will give you an error. Also create an outgoing port. I use COM7, and that is called "HOLUX GR-230 (COM7)" since I use a Holux GR-230 GPS.
4. Open TomTom and go through the regular setup. When you come to GPS setup, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and set that to the same port as your outgoing port. On my GPS that means COM7. Within 15 seconds your GPS should send signals. And you're good to go TomTom-ing!
And this was my post number 100. I'm so proud! :wink:
Thanks
I have added this to wiki but am not sure that it is for both WM5 and Ce2003.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Install_TomTom
WM5. You can simply run the installation app for WM2003SE, at least if you haven't installed AS 4, I have a sneakin' suspicion that it is the culprit, and not WM5 itself. And 2003 doesn't have the GPS applet in Settings.
And thanks! I tried to add it to the Wiki myself, but I'm hopeless with HTML and I haven't done any Wiki work...
Edit: Saw the note in the Wiki. I have done this twice on my WM5 Qtek 9090, it works as a charm.
Wiki is a piece of cake has Zero to do with coding.
use the edit button and you will see it.
There are one about 5 things you need to know and all of them you will see if you edit a page.
Maybe you would like to add your notes to the page!
Yeah, that was easy. It was creating a new page and linking to it that I couldn't get a grip on. Comments added.
Woo, Thx a lot. finally, i got tomtom 5 running on my ppc.
but anyway, anyone who has USA maps can share with us?? Westcost of USA is most importemt area for me.
Thanks again!!!!!!
Mastiff
If you go back a page and edit it you will see how to create a page.
After you have done the link a ? comes up, you then have to click on that to enter the content.
All Pages strart with BA_ or BA_WM5.
To get a feeling for links just edit a page that has one in it.
Check out the Wiki development Page on the root of BA wiki, You can set up a test area to create your own pages, edit format them ansd then post them when they are done. (you will see my page, edit it and will be able to work the rest out.)
If you have issues then pm me, I will also move files form Upload to a proper place and correct the link.
Have fun.
OK, thanks. I'll try that if I ever have anything worthy of the Wiki again... :wink:
Well, Tomtom is installed succesfully, but the registration of The Benelux map will not work.
This problem wasn't an issue before. With the TomTom 5.00 version from Bakonl.
Someone suggestions?
i got tomtom 5 installed and running fllowed by this guide. however, i copy the California Map to the root of SD Card. but tomtom shows "map not find"??
how to install a map. or i did something wrong?
by the way, i got map from my friend, he bought tomtom from bestbuy. i don't have full copy of tomtom 5. just downloaded the update package from tomtom.com
I just want to thank you for the great info on BT setup for GPS. I was trying to setup my Iguidance and Mapopolis with a Belkin BT GPS and had no luck. WM5 takes some getting used to.
Cheers!

Just happy to be able to help. I've gotten so much help on this forum that it's good I can give something back. Also I struggled like crazy with this, and most of the stuff is just compiled from other posters.
I have installed tomtom 5 but I can't install language.
On my cd I got languages as zip files called **1,**2, etc
I don't find a cab file.
voices are ok now
but gps status is searching for 30 min,I got 2 blocks on status but still no gps connection!!???
Backlight Tomtom 5 with wm2005
The installation works perfect but when i start tomtom5, my backlight is going down. If i look at the backlight settings then they are OK. If i change one of the backlight settings while tomtom is active, the backlight is going on.
Mastif's solution is nice, but imho not conceptual
Mastif, thank you for your solution. But I think it isn't working at all. I'm talking about Blue Angel (WM5) and ASUS BT-100 GPS reciever.
I had big problem connecting TomTom 5.0 to GPS reciever under WM5. Devices were paired well, but TomTom 5.0 (and all other GPS programs) were not able to see serial port on which devices communicated. Avialable were just COM 1, 2 and 9 + BT UART. GPS was paired on ports 7 and 8.
After a lot of attempts I found a solution (IMHO supposed by MS as default):
- turn on Manage GPS Automatically in settings
- set correct hardware port where is GPS paired (COM8)
- choose port where programs should see GPS (COM7)
- start GPS application
- if I understood well, after first applications attempt to recieve GPS data, OS will create "virtual" GPS on port COM7, pair it with real GPS (the same PIN) and start to use it.
- voila! TomTom (5.0) started working!
BUT! This process is not repeatable! I spent a lot of time to start it again, with very bad success, sometimes ok, sometimes not. And I can't imagine that I will write PIN code for GPS pairing at every start of TomTom (eg in moving car
So I tried Mastifs solution with partial success, I upgraded TomTom at 5.1, turned off GPS sharing feature, paired GPS and TomTom 5.1 seems to be ok. But other programs not! They don't see paired COM port as well...
Any other advice? I need to complete this task to November, 1st, because I will drive Atlanta - Key West - and back. I need a satellite navigation! Last month I made a "little" trip Prague - Germany - Netherlands - Belgium - France - most western part of England and back, major part I drove alone and can't imagine driving without TomTom! But it was with MDAII (Himalaya), now with Blue Angel I am nearly lost!

Hi firstly thanks for this method I'm so happy to have it working on my pda (your a champion)...One issue i have encountered is that even after installing off the update of 5.10 in prefs it says it is 5.0 which is odd to me as I have it working fully and as far as I know it doesn't have any probs with the probs of 5.0 but saying this i'm not sure how I would know if it is having probs with my vga etc etc
thanks in advance
Kind of strange. Mine says "Prg. Version 5.100 (5160)" under Preferences, Show version.
Thx for the guide, I finally got TT working again on wm5 !
One snag though ... TT5 doesn't appear in the Today screen, even when I select this program in "system - today" :?

Hi.
I've bought a MTEOR and the TomTom package "TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 - Software & Maps of Western Europe on memory card + GPS receiver ", Transferred the contents of the MiniSD to my 2G micro SD. Then I try to start with the "start.exe" but nothing happens. Have anyone successfully used TT6 with a MTEOR or another Breeze?

Hi according to what I know TT6 it's not supported on smartphones. However I did manage to install it on my MTeoR and runs, but I was not able to select street name etc... to move in the selection windows was not possible so I gave up after a while.
Had the same thing with TT6 on my MTeoR. It seems like TT is recognising the device as a Pocket PC with a touch screen. TT5 works fine
Hello,
Anyone know when Tomtom 6 for Smartphone will be released?
Needed application is out there, but accessible only to limited circle...
Sound funny, but I've seen it working...
Would be very important for me too!
Just bought MTeor and TT6 seperately; I've seen it sold in bundles, so i never thought about problems with it.
But: Same problem for me with selecting street names etc.
Funny is, that the stick works in all directions in the other menus, but if selecting the navigate to something options the stick up and down doesnt let me to select, but just chnages the volume up and down. same for the left jogdial:-(
Bundle is sold here: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=142114
Interesting forum entry: http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?i=138054&thread=25
Any ideas? What would you do? Buy an old TomTom Mobile 5 an sell out the new one? Will the old one work?
Sh..!
The old one works better, but has some issues. Mainly that the speech is interrupted. I'll wait for Tomtom mobile 6 (if it comes) before I buy.

Mmmm...what are the needed app you're reffering to? Original, beta or a "enhanced" tt6?
/Starg4ze
It works
It works on an unlocked HTC Mteor (i have it running)
Only installation is a problem because of not having a touch screen.
U can navigate in the menu's trought the number keys on your phone, 1=first menuitem, 2= second menuitem etc etc
And for installation you have to use something like Soti PocketControler to emulate a touch screen on your PC/Laptop.
But it's true that there is no (not yet) Navigator 6 for Smartphone, Navigator 6 is only for Pocket PC (touchscreen)
But this solution works......

I've got it running too, but can't navigate to any target, cause I can't select the street/city etc, cause up/down changes volume instead of let me scrolling through the names.
Is that true for your solution too?

Yes it's true that thats a problem, but if you type the adres and press the joystick on your MTeor, you select the top adres in the list.
It's true that you can't browse down, so you have to keep typing until the adres you want is the top one.
I am wondering, why the little Tool "MobileKeybdUtil.exe" is not allready known in this forum.
You start it as launcher on your Mteor. So TomTom is automatically started.
With this tool TomTom 6 works fine enough for me.
-You can use the "Back" Button to delete to the left.
-To select an item in the selction-lists, for example to select a destination City etc. , you have to press the *-Key and after a little sound, you can select the line by number. (5 for fifth entry etc.)
Except browsing over a map by joystick, everything is working and can be reached.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this MobileKeybdUtil.exe. ive looked on search engines and forums and cant see anything.
thanks for any help
any updates
i have the same problem as that which opened this thread... mteor with ttn6 on a microsd... clicking start.exe does nothing... any ideas... somehow you all got this working but are holding back... are you using the hacked or legit version of the software... any ideas why this is happening.

I cannot find this anywhere. Anyone got any pointer?
our device supports GPS???the first time i heared
Okay so I've gotten pretty spoiled now with the voice command on our phones. The one thing I REALLY wish I could do was turn the bluetooth on and off without having to go through all the work to get to the communications manager..(settings tab,then com manager, then bluetooth on or off... then closing it all down)
Is there something out there that is a direct short cut? I little .exe that will either turn bluetooth on if it was run or off if its run again? If not anyone with some skills want to make this happen? That would allow a quick shortcut in our applications tab AND for those of us who use voice command a quick way to turn bluetooth on and off. All we'd have to say is "Start bluetooth" or something. Best I've been able to do is say "Start bluetooth explorer" and it opens the bluetooth explorer...which yes works but I dont want that damn thing to open up AND I cant turn it off that way either.
If there is something out there similar to this I cant find it so maybe post it in this thread.
Thanks everyone!
BTonoff.exe
This is a little .exe that I found here on xda, so don't give me any credit. I looked and cannot for the life of me remember where I found this, so if whoever created sees this, I apologize for not giving credit.
Just put this unzipped .exe in the windows/start menu/programs folder and it will list as a program. You can then link the PTT button if you have a fuze, or to another quick launch program if that is what you are looking to do. I have mine set as an icon on the program launcher, and just click once and turns on BT, click again and turns it off.
If this is what you are looking for you can change from AP Request to AP Found.
This is a link to a cab file that I use called BT Toggle. The CAB file has "EkerB" in the name so I am guessing that is who the credit needs to go to. However I have been unable to find the original link back to the application announcement.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411006&highlight=ekerb
Installs like any other cab file and has worked flawlessly for me. I have my left softkey set to run it.
Here you go. I think,this exefile is made by BuzzLightyear(thank you). You need to write a pareter to commandline(or shortcut) "bsd" to toggle discoverable/off mode. It can also do some different modes using different parameters(which I don't know now).
You can also use this little app and set it to one of your soft keys. I have it seft to my left soft key and it works flawless.

I was looking for a solution to use my Sony Bluetooth DR-BT21G headphones with my TyTnII (stock Italian HTC 6.1 ROM). I read a thread here which mentioned a programme called A2DP Switch. I installed this, and it did not work, so I disinstalled it and used A2DP Toggle which works perfectly (especially in conjunction with QuickMenu, and not using the Today plugin which crowds out the screen).
However, in the process when I now install new cabs, I get the alternative to install to device, memory card or Bluetooth, instead of just the first two. When I look at my files with Total Commander, I can see a Bluetooth folder on my device, but with the same symbol as the memory card. This folder is empty, but I cannot delete it. Can anyone tell me where it comes from, and how I can delete it?

This appears when you enable Bluetooth Explorer. As far as I know there is no way to disable it without disabling BT Explorer.

Thanks, Andy. You are right. I did not switch on Bluetooth Explorer (must have been my son the other day when he used my phone to download e-mail on his computer while we were driving down the autostrada and changed the Bluetooth settings). Now everything is back to normal.
Hi all
I installed Tomtom7 yesterday, but could only install the blue version. The black version always failed to install. I have the latest 7.9 version.
I can only start TT via the file explorer the the today shortcut link does not work. It only beeps and that is.
I have also a proper TT account for safety cameras and traffic. when I connetc the PDA I can download pois, cameras etc. However I don't see them in the poi list? In TT home it shows as installed.
When I copy my old TT6 overlays into the map folder the show on the map.
The traffice update and warning work fine however..
Any ideas?
nobody really?
Which ROM are you using?
the standart WM6.1 from HTC.
I have figured out how to create a link and add stuff to the menu by now.
I have also seen a Speedcam on the map and can sync them via tomtom plus service, but still dont see them under any POI menu,...
