Rather easy, really.
1. Download the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom (You don't have to install the original 5.0 from the CD first). The file will be either an exe file or ppcup510.zip.
2. Unpack the zipfile (don't run the exe directly from WinRAR or similar programs, that will make it a lot harder to find the directories you want, unpack it to somewhere first). Run the update on the Windows PC. When the first window appears, go to the directory where the update is run from. Don't close the TomTom window, or the files you want will be deleted. You will see some new directories there, and what you want, is "nvapp". Within that you'll find a subdirectory called "app". Copy the four cab-files from that to your PPC, either via the network or ActiveSync. Never mind the ini files.
3. Go to your TomTom CD and find the directory Voice. You'll need to find the correct voice file. For Norway that's nor.cab, for Denmark it's dan.cab and so on. Copy that to the PPC as well.
4. Finally run all the five cabfiles. It doesn't matter which one you run first.
You're done. Of course there's the GPS as well:
1. Pair the Bluetooth GPS with the PPC.
2. Go into Settings, System, GPS. Set Program and hardware port to none and remove the tick from the box "Manage GPS automatically".
3. Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, COM Ports. Create an incoming port (I use COM8). Some ports will give you an error. Also create an outgoing port. I use COM7, and that is called "HOLUX GR-230 (COM7)" since I use a Holux GR-230 GPS.
4. Open TomTom and go through the regular setup. When you come to GPS setup, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and set that to the same port as your outgoing port. On my GPS that means COM7. Within 15 seconds your GPS should send signals. And you're good to go TomTom-ing!
And this was my post number 100. I'm so proud! :wink:

I have added this to wiki but am not sure that it is for both WM5 and Ce2003.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Install_TomTom
WM5. You can simply run the installation app for WM2003SE, at least if you haven't installed AS 4, I have a sneakin' suspicion that it is the culprit, and not WM5 itself. And 2003 doesn't have the GPS applet in Settings.
And thanks! I tried to add it to the Wiki myself, but I'm hopeless with HTML and I haven't done any Wiki work...
Edit: Saw the note in the Wiki. I have done this twice on my WM5 Qtek 9090, it works as a charm.
Wiki is a piece of cake has Zero to do with coding.
use the edit button and you will see it.
There are one about 5 things you need to know and all of them you will see if you edit a page.
Maybe you would like to add your notes to the page!
Yeah, that was easy. It was creating a new page and linking to it that I couldn't get a grip on. Comments added.
Woo, Thx a lot. finally, i got tomtom 5 running on my ppc.
but anyway, anyone who has USA maps can share with us?? Westcost of USA is most importemt area for me.
Thanks again!!!!!!

If you go back a page and edit it you will see how to create a page.
After you have done the link a ? comes up, you then have to click on that to enter the content.
All Pages strart with BA_ or BA_WM5.
To get a feeling for links just edit a page that has one in it.
Check out the Wiki development Page on the root of BA wiki, You can set up a test area to create your own pages, edit format them ansd then post them when they are done. (you will see my page, edit it and will be able to work the rest out.)
If you have issues then pm me, I will also move files form Upload to a proper place and correct the link.
Have fun.
OK, thanks. I'll try that if I ever have anything worthy of the Wiki again... :wink:
Well, Tomtom is installed succesfully, but the registration of The Benelux map will not work.
This problem wasn't an issue before. With the TomTom 5.00 version from Bakonl.
Someone suggestions?
i got tomtom 5 installed and running fllowed by this guide. however, i copy the California Map to the root of SD Card. but tomtom shows "map not find"??
how to install a map. or i did something wrong?
by the way, i got map from my friend, he bought tomtom from bestbuy. i don't have full copy of tomtom 5. just downloaded the update package from tomtom.com
I just want to thank you for the great info on BT setup for GPS. I was trying to setup my Iguidance and Mapopolis with a Belkin BT GPS and had no luck. WM5 takes some getting used to.
Cheers!

Just happy to be able to help. I've gotten so much help on this forum that it's good I can give something back. Also I struggled like crazy with this, and most of the stuff is just compiled from other posters.
I have installed tomtom 5 but I can't install language.
On my cd I got languages as zip files called **1,**2, etc
I don't find a cab file.
voices are ok now
but gps status is searching for 30 min,I got 2 blocks on status but still no gps connection!!???
Backlight Tomtom 5 with wm2005
The installation works perfect but when i start tomtom5, my backlight is going down. If i look at the backlight settings then they are OK. If i change one of the backlight settings while tomtom is active, the backlight is going on.
Mastif's solution is nice, but imho not conceptual
Mastif, thank you for your solution. But I think it isn't working at all. I'm talking about Blue Angel (WM5) and ASUS BT-100 GPS reciever.
I had big problem connecting TomTom 5.0 to GPS reciever under WM5. Devices were paired well, but TomTom 5.0 (and all other GPS programs) were not able to see serial port on which devices communicated. Avialable were just COM 1, 2 and 9 + BT UART. GPS was paired on ports 7 and 8.
After a lot of attempts I found a solution (IMHO supposed by MS as default):
- turn on Manage GPS Automatically in settings
- set correct hardware port where is GPS paired (COM8)
- choose port where programs should see GPS (COM7)
- start GPS application
- if I understood well, after first applications attempt to recieve GPS data, OS will create "virtual" GPS on port COM7, pair it with real GPS (the same PIN) and start to use it.
- voila! TomTom (5.0) started working!
BUT! This process is not repeatable! I spent a lot of time to start it again, with very bad success, sometimes ok, sometimes not. And I can't imagine that I will write PIN code for GPS pairing at every start of TomTom (eg in moving car
So I tried Mastifs solution with partial success, I upgraded TomTom at 5.1, turned off GPS sharing feature, paired GPS and TomTom 5.1 seems to be ok. But other programs not! They don't see paired COM port as well...
Any other advice? I need to complete this task to November, 1st, because I will drive Atlanta - Key West - and back. I need a satellite navigation! Last month I made a "little" trip Prague - Germany - Netherlands - Belgium - France - most western part of England and back, major part I drove alone and can't imagine driving without TomTom! But it was with MDAII (Himalaya), now with Blue Angel I am nearly lost!

Hi firstly thanks for this method I'm so happy to have it working on my pda (your a champion)...One issue i have encountered is that even after installing off the update of 5.10 in prefs it says it is 5.0 which is odd to me as I have it working fully and as far as I know it doesn't have any probs with the probs of 5.0 but saying this i'm not sure how I would know if it is having probs with my vga etc etc
thanks in advance
Kind of strange. Mine says "Prg. Version 5.100 (5160)" under Preferences, Show version.
Thx for the guide, I finally got TT working again on wm5 !
One snag though ... TT5 doesn't appear in the Today screen, even when I select this program in "system - today" :?

Here I compiled list of question and answer about using TomTom 6 with the HTC Kaiser. Forum Mods, if this is good enough, please make it sticky topic.
*** Which version of TomTom is in the Application CD?
6.032 (8351) - as of September 15, 2007
*** Is that full version or trial version?
It is called TomTom Taster Edition and It is full version, it will not expired, and there is no feature limitation compared to retail version.
*** Is it installed in the ROM by default?
No, it is not. You need to manually install it.
*** How to install it?
Connect to ActiveSync, from the HTC Kaiser Application CD, launch:
Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.EXE
*** I dont have that executable file in my HTC Kaiser Application CD!
Yes, you are not alone, probably you purchased North America version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329957
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327917&page=2
You can also download it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/56585274/6_032_8351.rar (this link might not be permanent)
Or here (.CAB):
http://www.sendspace.com/file/9379xf (this link might not be permanent)
*** I have TomTom 6.030 (or prior version), what's the main difference?
6.032 has "Built-in Internal GPS" setting and the HTC Kaiser also have one.
*** Can I use/install other maps?
Yes you can. You can purchase additional maps (maps only), and then activate it.
*** Warning! Do not change the external GPS setting!
You should see "external GPS" icon in the Settings->System, do not change anything there.
You might need to hard-reset your device, more info:
http://www.modaco.com/word-warning-re-GPS-se-t258943.html
*** How can I use my own TomTom software?
So, you do not want to use TomTom from the Application CD.
Basically, you just need to install your own TomTom software and use this setting for the GPS:
- Other NMEA GPS receiver
- GPS baud rate = 4800
- GPS is connected to COM4:
For detailed information, check out here:
http://www.modaco.com/TomTom-Kaiser-t256790.html
*** How good is the internal GPS? Any problems?
From my own experience, it is working fine. Signal strength may vary and it depends on the situation (cloudy, clear sky, surounding area, buildings, etc.).
On average, I got satellite fix around 30 - 60 seconds.
However, some people experienced problems which you can follow here:
http://www.modaco.com/GPS-positioning-problems-t259285.html
Paul from MoDaCo.com, reported a bug
"The GPS bug seems to occur with some applications whereby the GPS 'data stream' will pause for a few seconds at a time, which makes some apps think the GPS has gone away (e.g. Google Maps) and other apps just update in sudden jumps rather than smoothly."
http://www.modaco.com/Paul-Reviews-HTC-P45-t256569.html
But, I think that problem is intermittent (randomly occur).
*** How about TomTom PLUS service?
Check out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328444
*** TomTom always start with NO SOUND, why?
It's a bug, you have to switch off the data connection before starting TomTom.
SIMPLE FIX: Roll the volume wheel and sound turns on.
Thanks to all XDA-Dev users, Paul and other users from MoDaCo.com
Feel free to add more information in here
I added this thread to the wiki.
The above is all good info.
However, if you are having problems do not believe that the above is the only setup that will work.
I happen to use a bluetooth setup from time to time and have used the external GPS settings without problems.
A working setup for me for intermal GPS uses Other NMEA on COM 9 at a Baud Rate of 19200. In the Tomtom settings.
All other GPS programmes I use are set to COM9
When I setup the bluetooth I have it set to:
Serial Port (ticked)
Outgoing Port COM 9
Authentication (unchecked)
External GPS (in System menu)
(Perform a full backup before changes here - due to reports that changes here may ruin the GPS connection requiring a hard-reset to get it going again)
GPS Programme Port COM9
Hardware (None)
Access (Manage GPS automatically - ticked)
By the way the basic freeware plotting applications I use DO NOT require the clumsy workaround of starting tomtom in order to open the internal GPS. That problem seems to be limited to an issue with Google Maps.
NB
Other ports will work - eg COM0 but you must ensure that for example if you set outgoing port in bluetooth (if you also use BT GPS) to COM0 then it will also be COM0 in tomtom or any other GPS software. Any mismatch and you'll wait forever!
NB
In the tomtom satellite screen (the one that shows aseries of columns for each satellite - there is a useful verbal comment at the top of the screen it will say one of three things:
1
No GPS Device - (always says this initially for 2/3 seconds. If things are set correctly it will move to 2 but if your ports are wrongly set it will stay on this)
2
No Valid GPS Signal - (means it has found internal GPS device and is trying to find satellites - anything from 2 or 3 seconds to couple of minutes if you have not used Quick GPS, it will then move to 3 if you are in range of satellites)
3
Other NMEA GPS Receiver - (says this when locked on to satellites and working correctly)
The above 3 steps are useful to just check whether the setup and port is correct. Even if you do not want to use tomtom it's worth running it at least once just to iron out any port problems.

Would be happy to pay for the software / maps if they wouldn't it make all that difficult to get it installed for a trial ...
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I can't get the On board GPS to kick up and when I look under settings, the only thing there is "External GPS"....
How do you get it to use the internal GPS?

Are you sure u installed 6.032 Tom Tom release? Is the version caming with CD and is not in Tom Tom web. Is the only version that works with internal GPS; but youet guy. can have problems to install it, if you have a previous version.
There is no "internal GPS" icon in the "Settings", only "external GPS"
And dont mess around with the "external GPS", you might need to hard-reset.
TomTom 6.032 has its own setting to use the "internal GPS".

I would disagree with that. Other versions of tomtom DO work. But in tomtom's "configure" select other NMEA instead of internal GPS

I agree. I wanted say is the only version capable to tune internal GPS from Tom Tom program. I know versions 6, 6.02 and 6.03 works with othen NMEA and port 4, but my impresion is with internal get satellites faster.
Is there a way for TomTom to give the vocal instruction through the Bluetooth headset ?
Thanks

Anyone get a wrong rom error when installing 6.032? UK T-Mob.
Yes me too
As I understood, the T-Mobile version does not have TomTom Taster edition included in the application CD, correct???
If that's the case, I am afraid that the TomTom 6.032 from the HTC Kaiser "unlocked" version is a special build only for that unlocked model.
Just use 6.030, it works fine (read in the FAQ).
Yeah i guess if the rom numbers dont match up, it wont let you install. Not on Taster CD.
Using 60.30 now 8)
No TOMTOM love...
My Kaiser just showed up today and there' no TOMTOM on the apps cd.
What gives?

I installed the Tom Tom and the one free Map, but I still have the same issue I had with Google maps of having to run GPS Viewer to start up the GPS.
I'm sure its a configuration issue for Tom Tom but I can't figure out what the problem is.
You got problem with Google maps and you thought that is TomTom configuration issue? ...

Do i need to update to Navigator 6
or can I install it on the TyTN II with the taster edition?
Thanks.
Navigator 6 works fine.
Taster edition also works fine. In fact the supplied Tomtom is the latest version 6.032 that has "internal GPS" setting.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330235
Personally, I use the supplied TomTom 6.032 + my purchased maps.
same here, the taster version is the latest software, all you need is to purchase the maps.
From my understanding, you need to use the TomTom Home program, which can be installed from the TomTom site, which I have done, but I am curious how to connect the Kaiser to the pc to import/export maps to and from the kaiser. I am assuming it will connect if you are connected via activesync, although I am at work and cannot check that at this moment.

I just copied the maps via explorer (actually Total Commander with the CE PlugIn) to my Storage card \maps directory. Then went into the Software on the device and chose the new map.
Me too ... I just copied the map folder to the root directory of the Storage Card.
TomTom will recognize it.

hope this will work for other Kaisers too ;-)
1. installed TomTom ttn_6_032_8351.cab
2. went through TomTom's initial setup and downloaded/installed a free map from htc/TomTom website. Going through initial setup created a few folders (including voices) in MyDevice/ProgramFiles/Navigator
3. closed TomTom
3. Since my original TomTom discs were lost, but still had their backups, found in my library "TomTom 6 + US & Canada Map 6.75.iso" and burned DVD (932MB).
5. using Windows Explorer accessed MyDevice and copied 2 folders from the disc:
a) folder "voices" to MyDevice/ProgramFiles/Navigator (package includes English UK,Deutsch, Dansk, Catalan, Vlaams, Turkce, Svenska, Suomi, Norsk, Nederlands, Italiano, Francais, Espanol.For additional voices google TomTom free voice)
b) "USA and Canada 675_1409" into root directory of SD card.
6. re-started TomTom
7. TO CHANGE THE MAP
went into Main Menu (1of 3) -> Change Preferences (Preferences 2 of 5) -> Manage Maps -> Switch Map. It didn't work the first time, but after second or third restart in Select a Map there was USA and Canada.
8. TO CHANGE THE VOICE

Hi, i install on my at&t tilt the TomTom v. 5.21 but when i set the parameters of gps in start-settings-system-external gps with the following data:
Programs: GPD1
Hardware: COM4
Baund Rate: 115200
Access: option flagged
the tilt after the reboot doesn't store the parameters that i have just selected.
What must i do to set the tomtom with internal antenna???
My best regards
Francesco
You need to install tomtom 6.032. That has intern gps in his software..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355275
I had also problems with my gps but it works. Just install GPS Test on you device and check it out.
5,21 will work fine on your device, put the GPS Aplet settings back to what they were and don't touch them, this is what is messing up your system. Start TomTom and go to change preferences/ GPS Status and press configure, set the GPS port up within the TomTom application, when the little yellow/ blue disk on the top right of the GPS Status page is spinning it is working, if it is stationary you have a setting wrong - Mike
Hi i have installed the versione 6 and i have selected "other GPS NMEA"
anyone can help me to set the tomtom and the parameters in the external gps menu??

Hello,
Im having a TomTom 6 problem on my ATT Tilt. I am still running ATT Rom. Nothing has really been severly modded on the phone.
I am trying to disable the autostart function on TomTom when I soft reset or insert the micro SD. I have read several posts and tried everything I have seen.
Such as...delete the autostart.exe file, rename the autostart.exe file, delete the 2577 folder, rename the 2577 folder, encrypt the 2577 folder. All of these actions have stopped the autostart feature, however when TomTom is opened, it comes up NO MAPS FOUND.
Any help is appreciated.

is this the purchased version? or did you download some torrent? sounds like it is a torrent but if it was purchased ask for your money back because there shouldn't be a 2577 folder, at least i didn't get one.
I recommend searching tomtom 6032 cab. Install this cab and delete everything else except for your maps from your sd card. After you have that installed you need other software like gpstest, gpsrouter, and quickgps to get tomtom6 working efficiently on your tilt. Here are the steps I have to do:
1)gps router com 4 baud 4800 (this opens your gps system)
2) gpstest basically finds gps satelites
3) open tomtom6
4) open quickgps test and download updates
if tomtom doesn't work after this close tomtom and repeat steps 3 and 4. Also you may want to play around with different settings such as "other nmea gps receiver" set at com 4 baud 4800 and "built-in gps receiver".
Ya its not purchased version. I have several friends with it and they do not have the same problems. However their phones are unlocked, i dont know if this makes a difference. I am using quick gps to keep my GPS location current, and i have GPSgate from franson to turn on the GPS for TomTom. The TomTom program functions normally, everything seems to work except for this autostart feature. Is the .cab you are talking about a free download? Is it a full version? Thanks for the info.
Renaming autostart files will be sufficient.
Some people have downloaded Tomtom legally for the TytnII or have it as an installed file / on the CD with the phone.
This version of TT is a taster version and does not come with any maps !.
If TT cannot 'see' any maps, check that the maps are within the SD cards root directory, if not, then this is the cause of your problem.
Renaming autorun will not 'mess' with the maps ... renaming autorun is often a necessity if you install iGO and TT together as both have autorun files - and iGO does not like it's autorun being renamed
I have tried renaming the autorun.exe but when you open tomtom there are no maps. I have no idea how the two are connected. The maps are in a folder called north_america as soon as i explore to my SD card. also i am not familiar with that iGo program, what does it do?
The autostart & the 2577 folder are part of the installation of TomTom for PocketPC (the software, not the maps). I believe there are several files & folders on the memory card that may be safely deleted. (I deleted them after installation, and am not having issues)... Of course, because I deleted them, I can't check which ones there were, unfortunately. There should be an AutoStart.something or other, an TTN.cab, an autorun.exe, and the 2577 folder that could be deleted after successful installation.
After you successfully install TomTom, you need to start up the program itself, and activate the maps, then the software should see them...
