Guest Martijn© Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi, I have a QTEK 9100 and tomtom Navigator 5, I have tried following your instructions but some things seem to be different I have copied over all the files from the supplied SD card onto my Mini SD card and tried to launch the start app (the one with the tomtom symbol) this flashes up a tomtom screen but then does nothing. I downloaded the 5.1 update from tomtom but it keeps crashing when i try and run it? "STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL" how do i do this?? Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings Delete the DWORD marked "hide" Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec) The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings "Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings" i can find this through the reg editor but not the rest, all i have when i click on "GPS settings" is something called Redirect? any ideas? maybe i will have to wait for tomtom to release an update, but if you have any ideas the will be appreciated Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same problem I have with my Qtek 9100. I guess this workaround does NOT work on Windows Mobile 2005. (Or is a i-mate KJAM also WM 2005?) We have to wait untill TomTom supports WM 2005 i guess ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bartsimp Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0. 7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE. 8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thx for the guide but I'm stuck here with my m3000. I have no possibility to: change the bt port from 6 to 0, n o possibility to create a new outbound port to 0 -only 6 & 7 are available. any clue?

Guest kafmees Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) TT 5.1 works fine on my K-Jam. I used the cab-files I downloaded somewhere (I have legal TT). Installed in this order: ttn.cab - pim - wzd - gps. No soft-reset needed, TT was there on the today-screen. Launched TT, got an activation code on ttcode.com and it worked. The GPS also worked (without having to get GPS in the connection-area) Just pair, serial , outgoing on com6 and secure connection. In TT I then have a com 6 in the preference area. I can do a softreset and start TT as many times possible and it works. But.... when I turn my BT GPS off (I have a Adapt 300), and turn it back on again.. no connection is possible. I have to delete the pair and pair it again before all's working again. (Sometimes I even get an error, that the pairingcode is wrong??) Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I tried numerous settings in the GPS panel, but nothings working yet. Edited November 15, 2005 by kafmees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blun Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Has anyone got tomtom working on the UK t-mobile vario ? I really want to order one but I have this niggling feeling that tomtom is going to cause problems! Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ingewitt Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi, I recently got my Qtek 9100 and I was very excited to install TomTom BUT then the problems came.. I have followed every step you described but then I began with step 3: STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL Fire up a registry editor (eg http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml ) Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings Delete the DWORD marked "hide" Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec) The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings. I've downloaded the registry editor you suggested and I have deleted the redirect value en created a new DWORD: name = "Group"; Value="2" (dec radiobutton). But now I can't see the GPS panel! I've done a soft reset but this didn't help. Above all the redirect value showed up again in the registry editor allthough I have deleted that. What I didn't found was the DWORD marked "hide".. What now? Can someone please help me? How do you have to install the maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichardD Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Has anyone got tomtom working on the UK t-mobile vario ? Same question for the o2 XDA Mini S please. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 @RichardD, the MDA Vario hardware and XDA Mini S should be as good as identical hardware wise so if TomTom works on one it'll work on both. You'll need TomTom Navigator version 5.2 (as it supports WM5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichardD Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 You'll need TomTom Navigator version 5.2 (as it supports WM5)Thanks. Has 5.2 been announced yet ? All I'd found previously on TomTom support article saying they don't support WM5. http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?La...mobile&FID=3447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Have you checked the TomTom site? I understood the 5.2 update went up a few days ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Tomtom MOBILE 5.2 is there. Not much use on the Wizard or PPC is it........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jiffk Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 The tom tom 5 installer doesnt seems to work but the 5.1 does so i guess this is ok but where am i suppsoed to out the files from the 5.2 installer as the only files in the tom tom folder is the exe. I did get it to run once but it wouldnt detect the maps, is this fixed with the reg edit? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Just received my TomTom 5 for PDA (I had TT Mobile on C500). Installed it using the cab method (it was 5.1 already btw), trasfered Great_Britain-Map.cfg from C500 (includes favourites etc) switched on (TT BT GPS was on and locked) and it paired itself and worked in about 10 secs; no registry hacking nothing. Which is nice.... :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RichardD Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 How much memory does a TomTom install with GB maps require please ? Want to make sure I get a big enough MiniSD card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jiffk Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Sam problem with vario paring with bt gps, if i turn teh device off i have to delete the paring on the device and then re add it otherwise i get no connection :S apart from that the second guide worked fine with v5.1 maps and customn voices all working altought it would be nice to remove all the uninstalled ones from the list and be able to customize the screens for custom ones (rather than just unknown male etc). No reg hack needed just install the cabs on the device and make your own folders. I'll let you know next weekend if it actually works :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jiffk Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Ok i think paring has something to do with tom tom, if you swtich off the gps unit before tom tom shuts down then turn it back on before you launch tom tom it seems to work, thanks everyone for guides etc glad to get it working now i've actually brought the thing :) Anyone have advice on speed camera warnings/poi's?

Guest RichardD Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but found this a while back. Looking forward to trying it out when I finally buy TomTom. http://www.tomtomfree.com/singlePOIfile.htm Various Points Of Interest data files, including petrol (filling) stations, supermarkets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 @RichardD TomTom Nvigator 5 is 121MB as is on the card; so a 128MB mini-sd will not be good enough as, although it says 128MB, there is not that much space available. Also when you POIs, Speed Camera warnings etc then it will not fit. Go for the biggest you can afford but I would recommend at least 256MB.

Guest RichardD Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I read somewhere that large memory cards can slow down a device and drain the battery faster. Am I better getting two 512Mb cards and having to swap, or is a 1Mb fine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jiffk Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 My tom tom install is only 2.5 megs and the other plug ins etc are about the same all together not sure what you've got installed to take it up to 120meg?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
