trouble loading TomTom maps - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I have tomtom v7 on my Tilt. But it is not reading voices or maps. is there a certain folder i have to put it in? i am having trouble installing. if someone could please help out. thanks..

The maps should either be put on the root of your storage card or in the my documents folder of your storage card/main memory.

TOMTOM Nav 6

I have installed Tomtom Nav 6 on my XDA IIS, I did it all from a 2gig SD card. Tomtom will only read maps if I put them in the 'storage' folder in the internal memory. It won't read them from the SD card, any ideas???
cheers
I installed mine on 2gig SD card as well, and when doing manage maps, it shows the map without problem (didn't do anything special)
The maps are at the root folder on the SD card
(e.g. \Storage Card\Canada-Alaska)
I have this problem with the voices, but the maps work fine.

Hi.. don't know for sure about tomtom6. but in 5.2 there is a file in "my documents\tomtom" called "CurrentMap.dat"
This must be modified to point to the correct location of your map. ie
\Storage Card\Australia-Map\
Btw... what maps do you have?
Hope this helps

I have the GB map...I have kind of 'fixed' it now. I used a regeditor and renamed my SD card to 'storage' and now it picks up the maps.
cheers

I had this strange problem. After reflashing OS I installed TT6 and .cap voices, but they wouldn't show up in TT6. From memory I end up Hard Reseting PDA again. This fix voice problem.

Can't install programs to SD

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.
Thanks for your help

TomTom Map Question - Folder Location

I just got another Tom Tom Map. I had a previous one that was given as a free download. I placed the new map in the same folder. But when I start Tom Tom and go to change maps I do not see it. All I see is the original map. Where exactly should I be placing this new map? What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. TIA
Anyone Anyone?
Hi there,
Place each indvidual map folder under My Documents on Storage card. Each map must have its own folder eg. IBERIA, SOUTHERN AFRICA, etc etc. Then TomTom will pick up the new map.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
MAC
I have had both TomTom 6 & 7 running on my Kaiser and in both cases the maps were stored in folders off the root on the storage card - e.g \United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_Vxxx.xxxx\

what i did is i actually just loaded the Map folder to my Storage card. clicked and dragged and it works like a charm. also when i set up my TT7 i installed it to my storage card instead of the device (i dont know if that makes a diff) but it seems to save my settings alot better when i am flashing my rom. so i dont need to reset my home address or anything
I found that most of my map folders end in the text ....MAP i.e.
Australia_Map
Great_Britain_ Major Roads_of Europe_Map
Deutschland_Map
etc.
All in the root directory of the SD card.

Tom Tom install

Something that has annoyed me with the new TOM TOM after an update from TOM TOM Home it installed it on my main memory instead of storage card so therefore it now takes up so much room that I can't install any more programs. Any way of modding the installation cab to install on my storage card instead ????
Have searched and also tried using pocket mechanic to move whole program to storage cars but then the gps refused to lock on.

..when installing tt on internal storage map share will not work any more!
Move all files except tthome.bif (created when connecing to tthome) to the internal memory, create a Program (or Program files folder head memory. (I don't have an english version and am not sure of which name.)
Keep a copy of CurrentMap.dat and UserPatch.dat in the original folder.
Home works, everything else as before. Not sure if this is the nicest way, but it works.
P.S. You have to create a new shortcut to TomTomNavigator.exe in the programs folder, and delete the old one.
Thanks have sorted it by filling up my main memory with MP3's etc then trying to install the cab. It then says memory full do you want to install on storage and voila sorted.

Maps not loading

Hi,
I am trying to load TomTom 6 maps on to my HTC Diamond and having trouble.
I copied the WesternEurope directory into the root of the internal storage and its working. Tried the same with maps for USA & Canada but these maps are not showing up in the TomTom.
Any suggestions on what to do!?
Thanks,
Sg
maps
not sure if it will work try putting them in my documents in storage.
Do you mean that I create a My Documents folher under Storage and locate the maps dir inside? If so, tried it but nothing so far
Got it.. There was another sub directory which after removing everythings working.. tx
