Many people are wondering where to get a good program such as TomTom. Here is a .cab I compiled from the TomTom 7 extraction and AstroGPSLauncher.
TomTom 7.cab
This file is set to US English, includes the voices Jane (English UK) and Lori (English US Metric) and has map corrections enabled.
You can buy USA and Canada maps online for about $70 US. Make sure they are version 7 though, version 6 WILL NOT WORK.
In order to activate the maps you buy, you will need your Device ID. Many have found this to be a problem as they can't get into the menus of TomTom 7.
The solution is fairly simple:
1. Open ActiveSync.
2. Click on Explore.
3. Goto My Windows Mobile Based Device.
4. Goto the Program Files folder.
5. Goto the Navigator folder
6. Copy the file
ttnavigator.bif to your computer.
7. Open this file with notepad.
The file should look like this:
Code:
[TomTom NAVIGATOR]
DeviceName=HTC-VOGUE
DeviceVersionHW=Windows CE 5.2
DeviceSerialNumber=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DeviceUniqueID=##########
ApplicationVersion=7450
ApplicationBuildNumber=9028
UserName=
UserPassword=
CurrentColorSchemeBuiltIn=0
CurrentVoiceInfo=Lori
Features=xxxxxxx
SupportedPatchTypes=1f
NrSupportedErrorTypes=132
UserPatchDatVersion=102
CompressedPatchVersion=150
MapServerPatchDatVersion=104
DeletedPoiDatVersion=200
ServerLineIndexDatVersion=102
ServerNameIndexDatVersion=102
CurrentHomeLocation=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The DeviceUniqueID=
########## is what you want.
9. Write down this code and use it to activate your maps.
10. Delete this file as some have had errors if it stays (a new file will be created automatically)
I have repeated this procedure about 5 times from a Hard Reset, and it has locked from within seconds up to five minutes (all outdoors).
Special thanks to everyone who worked on the
TomTom 7 extraction as well as
AstronusX for the Primer.
