TomTom 7.9 on PDA with v8.15 Maps- Instructions

[hashssj]

I am getting "No Maps Found" with installed TomTom Navigator 7.915.9196.cab on HP Ipaq 2790 and have tried Australia maps 815.2086 & 8.30.2352. And can only get the previous old map 705 to work. Would appreciate any help to what I might be missing.

Hi,

found several version of 7.9 (VGA, QVGA, ...) which version best suites HTC Touch 3G ?

 

[fibag21]

...by the way, also have EasyTool for former version (7.4). Does it also works on this version ?

Thanks in advance for the reply

No, I had to get a new version of EasyTools - check gpsunderground

Hi Sinin,

Thanks for your answers. I'll try this as soon as my new SD card arrives and give an update.

Tested with MDA Compact 3 on Windows Mobile 6.
This is TomTom 7.9 with the very latest maps.

1) Find the device ID of your PDA.
See step 1 of this post.

2) Download TTN7.450.9028_repack.cab from somewhere (usual places, just search in google and you will find)

3) Place the downloaded file onto the memory card of your WM device, and run, this will install tomtom 7.45.

4) Download vga.7.910.9185.black. (Tip: put the name into google and go to first result)

5) On your device, navigate to: \My Device\Intern geheugen\Navigator and extract vga.7.910.9185.black onto it, click yes to any messages to overwrite. (Note: the folder is on the device, not the sd card of your device)

6) Download UK_Ireland_815.2024 onto your computer. (tips: again, put the file name into google and plenty available) and extract it to any folder.

7) Download the easyusetool attached to the bottom of this post and extract it somewhere on you computer.

8) On the easyusetool, there is a text file called device ID, put your device ID in there (from step1), all captals and no spaces.

In the map folder that you downloded in step 6, there is a file that ends with the extension DCT, copy and paste that into the folder "insert_meta_from_Map_here".

9) Double click on RunMeforDCT.

10) Select the following options:

1 > 1 >

11) Navigate to the insert_meta_from_Map_here and copy and paste all the files into your map folder.

12) Copy map folder to the root of your devices memory card.

Run tomtom!!


Ps: this method will not work on devices with dedicated internal memory as your map folder, even if it is wm5 or 6. Map will need to go on external memory card.

Hope this helps..

Is there an uptodate map fot tomtom 6 navigator please

Search for for postcodes (on here or gpsunderground), then put them into the "zip" folder in the "Program files\Navigator"

Hi

Have followed instructions to the letter but map not working. message when I run RunMeforDCT:-



## No Fake meta.txt Check possible without *.pna ##


!!! There is no key for United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland-22.meta in 'Meta.
txt'

## Map not in meta.txt ##
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basic Explanation:

OK = All good and copy now .dct into the Mapfolder.

Wrong DeviceID symbols = Devicecode wrong written

There is no such map in keyfile Meta.txt = Your Map is until now not supported

Cant find file = no *.meta file inside Folder "insert_meta_from_Map_here"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
### Run Keygen ###

Can't find 'C:\Documents and Settings\Ray\My Documents\Documents\Limeware\tomtom
bits\Easyusetools\insert_meta_from_Map_here\*.meta' file
^^^^^^^^Keygen Output here!^^^^^^^^^^


No "Mapname"*.meta inside "insert_meta_from_Map_here" Folder

Press any key to continue . . .

Any advice would be appresiated.

Didn't have much luck with the Easytools as linked to this page. Try GPSunderground and get the tools from there.

Thanks for posting this, I will give this a try on my Xperia

I have had nightmares trying to get the damn thing to recognise the maps (Australian maps that is)

 

[JJYL430]

I have done all the steps mentioned in the first post and still no luck

when I run TT, it still says no map found.

any ideas?
