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

Checkout www.tomtomforums.com and you can get tons of POI's, map themes, and some voice files too.
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there will be any way that we can use IGO8 on the Diamond?
I know that for them moment that is a no-no since there is an absence for a SD card, but is there a way that there will be a way around it ???maybe with the modification of the SYS.txt file?
Thanks

the internal 4GB memory in the Diamond is identified as a "Storage Device" so it shouldnt be a problem.
IGO 8 crash with Diamond...Look HERE
How did he test it?
You can run iGo8 only from the original SD-card (copy protection)!!!
It is not possible to copy the files an run it from another SD-Card.
So it will not be possible to use it on the diamond.

he tested it with cracked igo 8... so it is possible!
I had problems with iGO8 on my P3650 Touch Cruise and i found out that if you disable "Assisted GPS" it will work. I used Pocket Toolman to disable that. I did deleted those two files in the "2577" folder and made myself an shortcut that i placed in \Windows\Start Menu folder. Now it works like a charm. When you don't disable Assisted GPS it crashes all the time. Hope this will help.
You didn't read carefully ... :

I think discussion about illegal software is not really purposeful.
The original poster asked if he will be able to use iGo8 with the diamond.
And the answer is a simple no, as it only works with the included SD-card.

It will work if you place it in the 4 gig space, make a shortcut of iGO.exe in \windows\Start Menu and it will start up and work just fine.

No it will not.
It works only with the SD-Card it came.
iGo8 hast the same copy protection as iGo6 - the program ist bound to the specific SD-card.
Just ask navngo.

This is actually ridiculous: I get a GPS phone and can't install ANY GPS program on it? As far as I know, they all come on SD cards!

its not the hardware manufactor's fault that the software developer cannot write a piece of software to function without a microSD card.

What did you mean by crashes? I have a touch diamond and i have tried to install a version on my device.
What I have done is placed the two folders iGO8 and 2577 folders into the inboard storage of my phone I have then unplugged the phone from the data cable and it then asks me if i want to install iGO, i click yes and it installs, through the instalation, it asks me a unknown publisher wants to acces something, i just click yes, the installation ends up finishing and the program tries to load, then bang nothing, it just goes to the menu screen i was previously on, I then try to access the program through the start menu and programs folder, it tries to execute but then just stops. nothing happens. I have also tried the same thing after a soft reset.
is nthis the kind of issue you were having ?

why don't you try running it by disabling A-GPS using PPC Toolman? The other member claims that with this way, he got it to run using another device though

Exactly, thats what i did and it runs like hell. Sometimes you can go mad when you reboot and get that install again, just delete the two files from 2577 folder.

Yes, but only navngo uses the SD card ID as copy protection. All other progams should function. E.g. TomTom will be included on the O2 version of the diamond.

I couldn't even install that program PPC toolman, i downloaded the link on that page, I put the files on my internal storage and clicked on them through file manager, it just gave me an error message.
I even put the files in My device section of my hard drive and still nothing.
TBH, i have NFI what i'm gonna do next.

I totally agree - that was meant as a critique for the software houses. I'm buying the Diamond

I have sent you a private message. Check that out and let us know the result. I don't have a Diamond but I got iGO8 working on a device with the SD card removed, so it should work on the Diamond as well...

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.

nice one, good trick
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!
HI all
I was wondering if it was possible to move the maps (about 3gb i think) that come with Ndrive to the external SD card I have?
The reason is my internal SD is now full (only 138mb available out of 8 gig) and have used app2sd to move everything I can to the phone memory but I cant free any more up now.
Any help would be great
Regards Jim
I don't think that's possible. However, if you're not interested in photographic maps, you can delete the entire rasterdata folder.
Hi,
I dont have the version with the photographics maps installed.
I found this but it doesnt make any sense to at all!!!!
