SPV E500 and TOMTOM Mobile 5

[Guest fglwork]

Having read numerous previous posts I am still finding that my SPV E500 will not run with my TOMTOM mobile5. As suggested on previous postings, I have

- removed the security certificate

- put a picture (.jpg)in the TOMTOM folder in My documents

-re-installing the mini card again and again

This works on my XDA with no problems at all (after transferring the files onto a mini SD card)but I am changing onto an SPV (size and handbag issue)

I can install TOMTOM mobile 5 no problem but when I get to the set up option, the voices are missing, as is the map? I cannot get any further as it says there is no maps loaded. I have seen this same question on other websites but they have not answered the person's question. I often use this website to find backdated questions and find it helpful. However I can find no such previous queries.

This is driving me insane. Can anyone help, please?

I would try seeking support directly from tom tom, providing you have a legit copy...

I believe that your problem lies in the fact that an XDA runs TomTom's Pocket PC version of Mobile 5 and and the SPV C500 requires the TomTom Smart Phone version of the Mobile 5 software. That would exlpain your problems.

Thanks, I found that out this morning from TOMTOM...

What a pain as I thought the same package would do both....
