 Posted: Tue Mar 07, 2006 10:23 pm Post subject: Installing TomTom Navigator 5 |
 |
|
Hi
I've just got home and found a nice shiny new copy of Navigator 5 and Europe maps (thanks for the quick service EasyDevices!). I'm trying to install it on my iPaq HX4700. I've got the application installed successfully I think (although there was no mention of Bluetooth as per the TomTom instructions). I'm now trying to install the GB maps via activesynch but it's been going for an hour now and is only at 50%.
Is there a quicker way to do this as I also want to install the France and Benelux maps, after this?
Cheers,
Matt |

Sorry, just to add. This is an install from the original TomTom CD's as it comes without the autorun SD card.
Cheers |

Souns to be taking a long time. Are you connected via USB2? Just my two penneth. Be patient it should be worth it.
May be quicker using a card reader to transfer the map files? |

I use a card reader, and it's still, give or take, an hour or so per map. Pity they don't warn you while downloading. |

You don't use Activesync with a Card Reader. You go straight into the Card Reader via USB.
Use Install to Other Location.
I Install the Maps onto my Hard Drive and then Copy to the Card Reader. This means I have a Backup of the Maps and the Copy/Paste is quicker than an Install.;)

| Thought so, just the original post stated active sync, and the reply stated that a card reader was being used. I agree copy and past from your PC. |

Matt - Please check what version you actually have loaded, if its vs5,0 then you will need to upgrade the application from the tomtom site (its free) - there was a known memory leak with the 4700 and the initial release of TT5, tap the sat strength meter (lower RH side of screen when navigator screen is showing) - Mike |
