Navigate to Contacts in TT5

Hi guys,

I am sure I have read somewhere that TT5 is able to use the contacts database on the Pocket PC in order to save typing in endless addresses etc. If so, I have been unable to find this feature.

Can someone out there confirm whether it can be integrated with the contacts database, if so how do I do it.....or have I just dreamed it all??

Regards,

Andrew

Open a Contact > Tools > Navigate to

Expect to get a "Found Problems analzing the contacts address" error. Crying or Very sad

Hello again.......

That does seem a bit of a pain tho.......having to exit TT5 to find a contact only for it then to restart (hopefully) and make a connection through to the GPS receiver (hopefully again)........!!

It would be much more efficient (from and end-user point of view) to have a button within TomTom to open up the contacts database....surely??

Maybe an idea for a future upgrade?

Regards,

Andrew

I think the priority is to get the thing working Wink

You can access your contact from the hardware buttons on most PPCs.

Hi

I've got problems with this as well. When I try a "navigate to" or "show on map" from my contacts I get an error "No maps found, please install and activate an original TomTom Navigator 3 map first" - (I upgraded from 3 to 5). I tried unistalling, then re-installing the PIMAddIn.cab (that was tricky because it was telling me there were sharing violations & couldn't remove some of the files). I eventually got it re-installed, but still get the same error. Anyone any ideas?

Cheers
Andrew

Hi

I've found that if I already have navigator5 running, then use a hardware button to get to my contacts, this option will work for me. It's a shame people have to keep finding work-arounds to get these features to work...

Cheers
