I'm after tomtom for this device.
I just wanted to knnow if it is possible to install the edition that comes on an SD card via my laptop
Yeah it'll be easy
Just copy the contents of the SD card to your 'Internal Storage', and then run the autorun file in the 2577 directory.
If you've got the maps for TomTom 6 then I'd recommend going for TomTom7 - the older maps work fine with it. There's a cab file for it on this forum somewhere.
Funny you mention that Just add Tom Tom to mine, the only other advise would be.... leave maps in the root of Internal Storage, and you "might"have to move Voices folder (or at least the contents of the Voices folder in the right programe file after set up.
This may not apply to all, just what happened to me with my instalation

Hi,
When I install something onto my Vario from my PC it automatically installs in the default location.
On my other PDA I get the choice, how come I don't with my Vario, and how can I install something to my mini SD?
Thanks all,
Thought I had sorted it, but no.
Any ideas, I want to install TomTom but don't have enough room.

Does the Vario use WM 2003? If so that is why everything from a PC install goes to main memory. Do a search, there is a cab installer program somewhere that you can put on your Vario that will allow you to select where you want to install.

Naa it uses WM5, my Axim uses WM2003SE and that asks.
Will do a search for the cab thanks.
Well the thing is, tomtom HAS to be installed to the device i guess. I always install tomtom naviagator 6.02 (with the todayscreen plugin). It comes up with where I wish to install it, sd card or the device. Of course i select the sd card, but nevertheless it installs in the device. I've tested it with several roms, and also with the WM6 rom. Problem is still there, so i guess it's not a bug but a feature, haha.

you can move the executables to the SD card and it will work... just move the navigator directory from program files to sd program files, make a link to it, and everything works... as for TT5 and TT6, have both installed on SD card. And also you can remove those TTODAY files from root dir if not using the TT today screen, and also all the files for contact navigation if you dont use that. At the end only the executable dir has to be somewhere.

Hi all,
sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't not find an answer anywhere.
Is it possible to force the TomTom Taster which comes on my Vodafone v1615 app CD to install to my microSD HC card?
At the moment it only installs to the device itself and the option "Install program into the default installation folder" in Activesync is greyed out (as it is with all apps found in the Add/Remove Programs screen when connected to the v1615).
I've installed TomTom Home but cannot see a way to move the installation folder or my one free map download to the microSD card.
Thanks for any help forthcoming

Its actually nothing worse than copying the TomTom installation folder to your storage card. At least thats what I did. Havent reinstalled TomTom in like 10 ROM-flashs/hard resets, I just make a new shortcut with each flash/reset.
i use tomtom and installed successfully to the tilt main phone storage w/no problems. the application isn't that big, only the map data which is on the sdhc card
check with tomtom support!

M4cr0s, thats exactly what I'm trying to achieve and have done with my previous iPAQ. So it is just a case of copying the installation folder over? This wont corrupt any installation files or reg pointers?
Macca
There are probably some reg pointers, but it since it works fine here they are either not necessary or the application will automatically create them if their not there. (actually surprisingly many applications works fine installed to storage card and just made shortcut to upon a new flash/hardreset)
To test, just copy the TomTom folder (program files/navigator I think the default path is for the kaisers bundled version) to your storage card, rename the original TomTom folder to something else and try run it from the storage card. If it works, you're pretty much set I'd say.

Hi All,
Forgive me if this has been answered, I have managed to get TT7.5 working. Only thing is I wanted to put all the maps and other files in a folder rather than on the root of my SD card.
Is there any registry changes I can make so that TT can find the maps in a folder on the SD card?
Thanks

I think you need to create a folder with the same name as the maps IIRC.
Mine are all in the GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE folder.

Hi Dave, thanks for replying, yes I have this folder to, along with voice and raster on the root of my SD card.
What I wanted to do was tidy it up, so I created a TomTom folder on the root of the SD card, placed all three folders mentioned above but then I get error "No maps found". If I take it out and place these folders back on the root, it works fine.
Ahh, I thought you meant the map files.
There is a TomTom 6 guide somewhere, I don't know if the answer might be in there, if it's not I have no idea
Dave
TT7 will find the maps if you put the folders in the "My Documents" folder on the SD card.
lastes maps
i'm not sure if I have the latest maps. where can I get them?
you can get the maps at the tomtom webpage. it´s not so difficult to find

Hi, i have installed TomTom 7 from a cab supplied elsewhere on the forum, i was wandering if someone could tell me where the maps are supposed to go? (the .pna and .metta file)
Cheers
They go in a folder in the root of internal storage.
My folder is called "United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland" but I don't know whether the name actually matters. I then have other folders in the root of internal storage called "Voices" and "RASTER"

hi guys.last night i flashed my sex 1 with itje's brand new rom 5.05.everything works almost perfet beside garmin.
garmin starts without problem but when i checked my map it say 'garmin cant unlock the map .i deleted my map from my sd card i reloaded from my pc using map source.of course i unlock before i load the map.i ve never got this problem with any other rom?any idea.thanks a billion in advance.
Works fine for me. Have you still got the SW.UNL and GMAPSUPP.UNL in the Garmin folder?
works fine for me too, I copy the directory \garmin to PC, and copy back to X1 after flash 5.0.x.
If you want to save all settings, just copy folder \garmin to sd card. After flash do not install Garmin. You must copy folder Garmin from SD to device. Then restart the phone and you run Garmin. I always do this and have no problem with the maps.
