Having read thru this thread i dont seem to see if anyone has had any success on installing tt5 on the medion 200. I know it can be done on the medion md95255 and was wondering if anyone can point me to how it can be done on the md95900 (medion 200).
thanks to anyone who replies.

I've managed to TomTom 5 running on a Medion MD95900 / 200 (from Aldi) - here are the steps that worked for me.

(1) Did the hack (as described here: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=24107 )

(2) downloaded and extracted 'pack.dll' and 'packdllxania' and copied all the DLLs to the \Windows directory on the Medion (I don't know if this step is essential)

(3) Installed TOMTOM 5 for Pocket PC

(4) Went to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d9879b0e-4ef1-4049-9c61-e758933d84c4&DisplayLang=en and downloaded 'Pocket PC GAPI 1.2' - extracted the ZIP (on PC) and in it I found ARM\GX.dll. Copied this dll to \Windows on the Medion (and replaced the GX.dll that was installed in the previous step)

(*) I had also installed NAVMANICN510.EXE from here http://www.expansys.fr/forumthread.asp?code=NAVMAN_ICN_510_FR&thread=4 but I don't think that is required for TomTom to work.

The key is getting the right GX.dll.

Good luck

Thank you so much for your quality instructions !

1 last thing, is it the TomTom 5 for pocket PC as in the PDA version I should be downloading?

Many thanks

Hi shaunokeefe,

Yes, that sounds right.

The version I've installed is "TomTom 5 for Pocket PC"

The installer actually contained two versions "TomTom Go" and "TomTom for Pocket PC" and I just had to select the one I wanted to install.

Good luck

Cheers

I'm new to all this. What is the advantage of installing TT5 on the Medion 200s? If there is where can you download it?
Thanks to all you knowledgeable chaps out there.

Hi Guys, I have TomTom 5 working fine on mine, thanks for all the info.

I just cant seem to get the v5.10 update installed. Anyone know of a workaround or has anyone had any success?

simply unpack the CAB file with an appropriate tool (even WinZip will do) and copy the EXE and data.chk files over your original install

I have a MD95900, model no. MDPNA 200S.
I am currently running medion software with poi handler installed, thus my task bar is also present.
I have downloaded tom tom 5 for a pda and installed it onto a mmc, did a soft reset but nothing is happening. The screen on soft start flicks black for a second as though something might happen but it may just be a standard start up.
I tried it on a mates pda and it booted into tom tom no probs on the same mmc so its not the software.
Have you guys any idea why its not working?
maybe it only works on the 200 not the 200s.
Do I need to install any dll's that I haven't realised?
so near, so far, its infuriating!

When I installed TomTom I selected the default destination - so that the TomTom executable is on the internal memory - and then I installed the maps on to the mmc.

Yes, of course you are right and I meant to say that I had obtained this software through legitimate means, apologies.
