Installing Nav 6.030 on Palm - ARM Load error solution

[bedbug]

Hi,

Hope this might help someone who suffers a similar fate.

I had 6.010 without any operating issues.

After reading here that 6.030 was available for Palm, I ran up TomTom Home for macintosh (V1.5.032). Sure enough, a software update was waiting. Trying to be good, I allowed Home to try backing up my SD card before installing - the application crashed. Not to worry, I already have backups of everything via another process, so I re-ran Home, and declined the backup.

Install went fine (apparently). However, 6.030 wouldn't run, reporting 'Armcode not allocated error' and 'ARM Load error'. Soft resets etc did nothing.

I then read elsewhere some advice regarding looking for and deleting files from the card with corrupted file names. I checked and had none. However, I did note that on the card were the following:

SD Volume/PALM/Palm/TomTom
within which were data.chk and Munich.bin.

According to my backup of 6.010, these should have been here:

SD Volume/TomTom

So I moved the two files... hey presto, I am now running 6.030, appears to be fine.

Hope nobody else has this experience, but if so, hopefully this helps.

I have one sneaking suspicion: Install will look for a TomTom directory at the deepest level. I suspect that by not deleting the incorrectly placed directory, a future update may be problematic. I'll leave it there and let everyone know if my suspicion is correct.

Actually folks, a quick request:

If you've a palm, would you mind posting the file content of the
SD volume/TomTom directory? I've just thought that I've not seen a TomTom splash screen since my first update to V6(.010) and wonder what else might be missing!

Many thanks in anticipation.

I have the following:

munich.bin
data.chk
data05.chk (I think this is the lovely 'Jane')

That's it and it works just fine for me. Hope this helps.
