|

Guys
I think I have discovered what TTN 6.01 is doing in not finding maps on an SD card...
I checks only the last loaded active FAT filesystem. This was confirmed on WM5 when I was playing with ramdisk (see http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=133905).
The solution (can someone try this on WM2003 please???):
- soft reset PPC WITHOUT SD CARD
- Insert SD Card after reboot
TTN6.01 finds the maps on the SD!!!
Secondly, if you want to use a ramdisk (more of this later), insert the SD AFTER the ramdisk setup.
Ok, why am I talking about ramdisks. Reason is I want to have the \TomTom directory where all of the SDKFileCalls SDKRegistry dirs for POI Warner and Checkpoint on speedy SDRAM, not slow flash rom (which is why these two apps are so crap on WM5).
My solution was to hack the ramdisk.exe from the program listed above (find in enclosed zip file) and have them start up via a MortScript, see http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/wmpdownloads/?sel_lang=english for Mortscript) on startup.
To setup:
1. rename your existing \TomTom directory to \TomTomx
2. Copy the enclosed ramdisk.exe, ramdisk.dll, TTramdisk.mortrun to \Windows
3. Create a shortcut to TTramdisk.mortrun in \Windows\Startup
4. run the ramdisk.exe and confirm that it's okay to run
5. eject SD card
6. soft reset PPC
7. allow ramdisk/other startup items to run
8. insert SD card
9. run Tomtom/Checkpoint/POI warner etc - now works as well as WM2003 did!!!
Get zip file from:

I am not trying to use 2 poi warning systems, merely to show how both Checkpoint and POI warner use the same method - the SDK from tomtom. Since this uses files in a folder called \tomtom\sdkfilecalls, the speed of both of these apps is very slow in WM5 compared with WM2003 owing to the changed method of file storage. The above method helps either (I don't suggest you use both!!!) app work correctly under WM5. This should also help with TTN5 under WM5 and Checkpoint or POI-Warner. |

... further to this, the issue of No Maps found was one I found only accidently with TTN6.01 (not seen with TTN 6.0) whilst trying to fix the Tomtom SDK issue. This is a separate issue to that of poor Tomtom SDK performance. BTW: I do have a valid license for TTN6! |
