OK, after playing with the emulator, the installation worked and works just fine. I will have to play with the software some more.

If anyone is having problems installing let me know.

Hi, I'm relatively new to gps and have bought the aytobe also. My daughter has a tom tom one - version 2 and I would like, if possible to install the tom tom software on the aytobe. Mainly because of the poi and safety cameras and the tom tom interface. Am i going about this in the right way? I have copied the tom tom card into a folder on the desktop of my pc to see what files are on there and to make any changes before copying these to a card for the aytobe. The only exe files i can find are ._TomTom HOME Install.app and InstallTomTomHOME. I have looked at the previous posts but can't seem to find the files to re-name. Are the files in folders, if so which ones? or is it not possible to use this version of tom tom software or am i just going about this in completely the wrong way. Many thanks for your patience, I would be grateful for any help anyone can give. - thanks, Roy

Hang on minute is that why my posts aren't appearing and my pm's going astray? I've decided to move AWAY from my phone screen to a much bigger screen and YOU decide that I'm doing something wrong? Erm, I don't think so. I haven't breached any copyright or licence and I would like some help on how to get MY software on MY unit. If you don't mind that is. Thanks.

My reply was to Manchesterman as can be clearly seen so calm down. We haven't removed any posts in this thread. On the rare occasions that we do then we leave a note in the post explaining why.

Apols,

I must have an issue with PMs then. Thanks for the clarification.

I had aa navigator - on a Dell Axim. Great software but the PDA kept crashing So I got a navman 510 on ebay - Very reliable hardware - but poor software and mapping - turn left when its the same road and no turns indicated when going from a B road to An A and crazily you cant enter a whole postcode. So I bought an AYTOBE. Looked a bit cheap on Maplins site but actually quite nicely presented and happens to match my car - charcol grey. Its not as configuable as the AA or Navman and maybe the screen isnt quite as bright but boy does it calculate and recalculate quick! I had a bit of a hack to try and see if you can configuare your own POIs but failed miserbly - So Far. THe female (only ) voice is very nice and unusually says turn around rather than perfom a U turn and says things like "continue for a while " which I find more friendly than continue for 8.75 miles (maybe thats just me) . I do feel that the AA software is a bit better and after reading earlier posts am now wondering if the AA software could be loaded on to the AYTOBE.

OK, I'm not one to aggravate any situations here but I want to clarify some things.

I have a licenced copy of TTv6, I had it for my Mio168 (until the kids used it as a hammer!) I belive that the Aytobe is a good tool for the price and the reason I won't buy a TT unit is because I am a .NET programmer, therefore a WinCE unit is far more interesting to me than a Linux based TT.

I haven't written anything for CE in ages but I will have a go at writing a few apps for the Aytobe. Something like when you click the Navigator icon, you are presented with a customisable interface that can allow you to select multipule programs to run. The objective is to keep everything on the SD card so as not to mess up the warrantee.

I will cease all commenting for the delevopment of such things to keep the mods happy.

No need to cease commenting. Converting the Aytobe to run TomTom is not the issue here at all.
