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

I just bought a 8925 and tomtom 6.203 but i am installing it from the SD card. i cant get it to work at all. i copied the tomtom info on to the sd card and can install it on to the phone but it does not work - says 'no maps found' and it doesnt give me the same options as listed in this post - it doesnt offer to 'configure the GPS select other NMEA GPS receiver Click select' its like it skips that step. i dont know if this is even an issue but locating maps are!
i created 3 folders under the tomtom folder on the SD card - total size is 1.6gb
1. north america 675
2. tomtom 6.2 cab file
3. alternative voices
i've tried to leave the folders in that order on the sd card and also put everything into the tomtom navigation (once it was installed) just to see if tomtom is looking in a direct folder. nothing!
i have installed tomtom to storage card not the device (but i did try that as well and same thing)
Any ideas? any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Did you read the instructions?
tomtom no maps
figured it out - it was the bluetooth explorer - it needed to be shut off in order for tomtom to work... DONE! no i cant get the voices folder to be recognized - anyone know?
I feel like a dumbass. I purchased navigator 6 and us/canada maps from Amazon and seemingly got quite an old version. I'm running 6.030 software and 660 maps.
hope fully it works is iowa missing?
Hello,
Im having a TomTom 6 problem on my ATT Tilt. I am still running ATT Rom. Nothing has really been severly modded on the phone.
I am trying to disable the autostart function on TomTom when I soft reset or insert the micro SD. I have read several posts and tried everything I have seen.
Such as...delete the autostart.exe file, rename the autostart.exe file, delete the 2577 folder, rename the 2577 folder, encrypt the 2577 folder. All of these actions have stopped the autostart feature, however when TomTom is opened, it comes up NO MAPS FOUND.
Any help is appreciated.

is this the purchased version? or did you download some torrent? sounds like it is a torrent but if it was purchased ask for your money back because there shouldn't be a 2577 folder, at least i didn't get one.
I recommend searching tomtom 6032 cab. Install this cab and delete everything else except for your maps from your sd card. After you have that installed you need other software like gpstest, gpsrouter, and quickgps to get tomtom6 working efficiently on your tilt. Here are the steps I have to do:
1)gps router com 4 baud 4800 (this opens your gps system)
2) gpstest basically finds gps satelites
3) open tomtom6
4) open quickgps test and download updates
if tomtom doesn't work after this close tomtom and repeat steps 3 and 4. Also you may want to play around with different settings such as "other nmea gps receiver" set at com 4 baud 4800 and "built-in gps receiver".
Ya its not purchased version. I have several friends with it and they do not have the same problems. However their phones are unlocked, i dont know if this makes a difference. I am using quick gps to keep my GPS location current, and i have GPSgate from franson to turn on the GPS for TomTom. The TomTom program functions normally, everything seems to work except for this autostart feature. Is the .cab you are talking about a free download? Is it a full version? Thanks for the info.
Renaming autostart files will be sufficient.
Some people have downloaded Tomtom legally for the TytnII or have it as an installed file / on the CD with the phone.
This version of TT is a taster version and does not come with any maps !.
If TT cannot 'see' any maps, check that the maps are within the SD cards root directory, if not, then this is the cause of your problem.
Renaming autorun will not 'mess' with the maps ... renaming autorun is often a necessity if you install iGO and TT together as both have autorun files - and iGO does not like it's autorun being renamed
I have tried renaming the autorun.exe but when you open tomtom there are no maps. I have no idea how the two are connected. The maps are in a folder called north_america as soon as i explore to my SD card. also i am not familiar with that iGo program, what does it do?
The autostart & the 2577 folder are part of the installation of TomTom for PocketPC (the software, not the maps). I believe there are several files & folders on the memory card that may be safely deleted. (I deleted them after installation, and am not having issues)... Of course, because I deleted them, I can't check which ones there were, unfortunately. There should be an AutoStart.something or other, an TTN.cab, an autorun.exe, and the 2577 folder that could be deleted after successful installation.
After you successfully install TomTom, you need to start up the program itself, and activate the maps, then the software should see them...

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.

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.
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.
hi
this may be a dumb question, but tbh i have been trying to get it working for a week.
i bought copilot live 8 which is compatable with my htc touch diamond but after installing the software i cant install the maps, i have 100mb free of space on my device and there is no option to install it on my internal memor (3.2gb free). i have the UK & Ireland mapps which amount to 186mb. copilot central 2.0 doesnt come with the option either when i attempt installing it from my computer.
also copilot have not answered anyone of my 5 emails, usless! TomTom arn't this rude.
thank you to everyone who attempts to cure my touch diamond/copilot problem
CHEEEEERS!

put all files on to internal memory and should work fine.(copy + paste)mine does
First off, I'm definitely NOT one of the experts on XDA. I'm basically a newbie on a lot of this stuff. That said, I have CoPilot V8 on my Diamond and love it.
All I did was (a)download the software, (b)copy it ALL over to my Internal Storage (do not use Active Sync), (c)rename the 2577 file to 2577C so it doesn't autorun until I tell it to, (d)safely remove device from computer, (e)go to file explorer - find 2577C on Internal Storage - and hit Autorun.
I install everything to Internal Storage since I am low on "storage memory."
Don't know if that was what you're looking for or not.
El Mono
P.S. For this initial install you do not need to employ their PC program at all.
SOLUTION to my problem, maybe urs in the future!
i had to do somthing similar to that! thanks for helping giving me a a baseline on which to start!
A) download data
B) copy both 2577 and copilot to the internal memory
c) disconnect from the computer go to 2577 with the file explorer and hit auto run
D) run copilot go through the intial settings like, voice, imperial ect.....
E) once that is done and it says no maps installed restart the diamond device
F) plug the phone back into the computer with active sync and go to the internal memory. look for file "copilot" gps tracks, info, save and speech should be in there, delete them all!
G) go back to internal memory and find where YOU saved the "2577 and copilot" files copy everything in the "copilot file" (in my case maps for EU) EU, gpstracks, info and speech.
H) go back to the "copilot" file where you deleted everything and paste of the data which you just copied. 'wait a while'
I) once it is done run copilot and it should immdiatly start intigrating POI's
-------------------- DONE! -----------------------
this is why i like XDA Devlopers, everyone is there to help cheers guys!
