Guest tiler65 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 i have had a orange m600 for a couple of months but miss using tomtom (on my spv c500). I was wondering if tomtom was compatable or not with my new phone/pda. has anybody found a way of tweaking it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I think the TomTom licence is non transferrable. Unfortunately that means you couldn't use your existing TomTom Mobile even if it was compatible with the HTC Universal (which unfortunately it isn't from what I've seen). You need TomTom Navigator as that's intended for the Pocket PC platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest demusss Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Doesn't the pocket PC version of tomtom work on the m600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stub101 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Doesn't the pocket PC version of tomtom work on the m600? I used to have a c500 with ttm working on it and i upgraded to an m600 and kept the bluetooth + downloaded the TomTom Navigator 5 for PPC software and it is awesome - really suits the screen size on the m600, couldnt reccommend it more, integrates with your adress book addresses as well. Rinses the poor m600's battery though so u do need a powered mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Apologies tiler65, misread the post and thought you had the VGA screened HTC Universal. Unfortunately what I posted with regard the non-transferrable licence does still apply so even if TomTom Mobile (the Smartphone version) does work with the SPV M600 Pocket PC you're unlikely to be able to activate it. To be honest, I think you'd be better off with TomTom Navigator as stated as it makes full use of your Pocket PCs abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timoftheblues Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'm having real issues installing the software, would it be Orange blocking it on the OS? i've got it on my SD card, I run Start and the splash screen appears but then nothing, it just goes back to the file explorer windows. Any help would be gratefully received as i'm off to Germany tomorrow and will be needing Sat Nav!! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Somewhere on thew tomtom website there is an update to allow Navigator 5 to run on Windows mobile 5. Think its 5.21 (when i got it). I had the same problem. Once this is downloaded on your PC just connect your M600 to the PC (USB) and run the update file on your PC to start a wizard - worked fine for me. ....This might be it....5.21 for PPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sittingduck Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) I have found that tomtom nav 5.00 will not work on the M600, it does not allow you to open the correct port to communicate with your bluetooth GPS reciever, you must first install v 5.00, then download the upgrade via the tomtom website to v5.21 , once you install the upgrade, it will allow you to open up the correct port in the tomtom menu & allow it to communicate with your GPS reciever, :) I hope this info helps some people, I have spent many hours fiddling around to get it to work, but this is the solution Edited August 12, 2006 by sittingduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest webtechy Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I struggled with this for ages. Here is the solution I have for installing TomTom Navigator 5 on a Windows Mobile 5 device: http://blog.webtechy.co.uk/blog/_archives/...18/2239844.html Regards, Ben.

I have been using TTN5 on a Dell Axim x50v with no issues for several months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
