Route 66 COM ports

[Guest Rhye20]

Hello,

I'm posting here cos I have a problem, actually the same problem that a thread in this subforum solves about TomTom COM ports not shown

http://www.modaco.com/How_To_Setup_Tomtom_...am-t229788.html

Route 66 seems to have the same problem, as it shows only COM0, "serial", COM2, COM3, infrared, COM9. While the GPS is set on my k-jam on COM6 or COM7.

Now, after reading that post, I've activated the GPS control panel through the registry hack.

What should I do next, in the Route 66 case?

i had the same problem with route 66. i emailed there support team...basically, R66 PPC 2004 does not support WM5.

i guess this is why the ports are different. i think they are working on a new version of R66.

IMO ttn5 is better anyway, thats what i use now. it found my BT77 GPS unit straight away and hasn't missed a beat yet!

the problem with TT5 is that, as far as I know, maps aren't croppable. Isn't it?

That means that I have to use 300 or more MBs of my MMC just to hold maps which I actually use a 10%. Route 66 allows to export from the PC just the areas I want to use - usually no more than 10MB

If you confirm this, is there any external utility that allows TomTom map cropping?

true, the maps to my knowledge aren't croppable.

i have the GB map installed on mine..its about 130mb install. I use a 512mb card, so there is room for more!

if you like travelling, get yourself a 1gb card, then there is room for the maps and music to keep you entertained whilst on the move ;)
