TomTom Trouble

[sndtubes]

Hi All,

I've searched on TomTom and didn't run into this one. When I first got my TP2, I inserted the MicroSD card that I was using on my TP. TomTom Navigator 6 was installed on it and it immediately attempted to install TomTom onto the TP2. The install failed with a message saying "memory exception". Now I cannot uninstall TomTom nor will any further attempts to re-install TomTom work. I tried a hard reset and restoring using SPB backup, but unfortunately it re-installed the damaged copy of TomTom. Does anyone know how to remove those damaged files?

I've read conflicting reports here about TomTom. It seems some have it working and others don't. My questions to the group is: Will TomTom work and does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this without a hard reset and re-installation of my progs one by one (ugh!)

I am now using TT7, not TT6.

How about just install clean without the backup.

Did you google the error message?

I didn't know that TomTom 7 was available in the US. I thought that was only Europe. When I go to their website, there is only Navigator 6 that appears. Were you able to get it somewhere?

I did get completely get rid of the old install last night by manually removing all entries in the registry and all files that referred to TomTom.

I have read in other entries that Tom Tom messes up the bluetooth stack but others have it working ok, so I'm a bit confused.

Im running tomtom7 too with no problems. There is a bluetooth prob but all you have to do is delete a couple .dll files and its all good.

hey fr0st. has anyone found a workaround for the traffic? i bought a subscripton last year and it's ran out and i sure as heck don't want to spend the money again if it's not going to work.

for now i've switched to iGO8. runs ok but i do miss the traffic.

Where on earth can you get TomTom 7? It isn't on their website??

Try installing this cab to your sd card.

{NOTE} This is not warez! This cab contains no maps, voices, cars or POI's.
This is strictly the software cab and is useless unless you have the rest of the files which are available from the official site, and it sounds like the Threadstarter has already purchased it.

Wow I didn't even know you can get tomtom on there. I'm still using my tomtom one... lol

Thank you!! I installed it and it did throw an error, but apparently not a fatal one because it did start. A couple of more questions:

Will my old Navagator 6.xx maps work? And, yes I did buy the maps. In fact, I have purchased 2 sets of 6.xx maps ( an older one and another about 9 months ago).

Also, do you know what .dll files I need to delete?

Thanks a bunch!!
