The download limit is if you don't have an account with them. I had this last night when i started a download but lost my connection. I couldn't download again until i had disconnected from my isp and re-connected. therefore getting a new ip address.

Tomtom weather and traffic both work. Even updating poi.Now got T-Mobile's hot spots.

i'm a little nervous about using these services though. Am i effectively waving a flag saying here i am, come and get me?

A friend of mine was wondering exactly the same thing... any suggestions from anyone who has a friend that has tried out these features?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
Does anyone know how long the "free" traffic promotion lasts? The program seems to be the thing restricting access to these services, as I didn't have to sign up for an account, so there may be a crack that allows permenant access to the traffic system.

Also, does anyone know how much data the traffic service consumes for a single update?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jugulator:
Did u you have to sign up at tomtom.com for a username and password coz it asks you for ur account details when you try to update, doesnt it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
I don't know about the amount of time we are going to get from the traffic updates, but I have just done a single update using SPB gprs monitor and it weighs in at 8kb for the one transfer.

Tomtom states on the site that it uses smart push to reduce the amount of un-necessary data, but if you play it safe and say 8kb per update, thats 128 updates per 1MB

In my case thats 2.34 pence on a £3MB tarriff.

Put another way, updated every 15 minutes, that works out at £3 every 32 hours, roughly.

Hope that answers the question, :LOL:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] brins0:
That's great thanks, just the info I needed. I'm gonna keep looking aorund for something to allow me to get free traffic updates tho, you never know. It may be that the one on the website, is a special version that gives you lifetime updates, here's hoping :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
In an attempt to answer your question about the traffic period, this is from tomtom.

---------------------------------------

NAVIGATOR - MOBILE

Start the TomTom application on your device. In the Main Menu select TomTom Traffic.

When you are asked for your username and password, enter your email address or your TomTom username, and the password "PLUS".

If you have already entered your TomTom username and password on your device, select the button Download extras or PLUS services on your device. Then select Edit service acount. Enter your username and change the password to "PLUS".

-------------------------------------------

This is supposed to start your one month free trial, but I didnt enter any of that. Fair enough, I entered, blah blah blah, to get the software going but didnt enter a password but thats obviously to satisfy the system and isnt really a password.

when I tried to use the other plus services it tried to log in using a email and password that had already been input persumably by the guy who err "tweaked" the program so it probably uses that info for traffic.

anyone know if buddies uses a tomtom server or direct connection between buddies if that latter there may be a fix for those who err "forgot" there tomtom login

Has anybody elses friend complained of quiet audio in TT6 on their Wizard vs what it was like in TT 5.21?

Even with TT volume set to 100% it's very quiet.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrJoshua:
Hmm, it does get louder if you change the volume in WM5...

TT5 used to be very loud (if set to 100% volume in TT), even if the WM5 volume was low.

That sucks a little bit.

Now you'd have to put up with VERY loud rings when someone calls, if you want to be able to hear Jane in all her glory.

tt6 update; New Navigation features on tt6

Well, after a day's usage I found couple of helpful improvements in tt6 in terms of Navigation.

1) When we go through big roundabouts, it tells you when to "take the exit", which can be helpful.

2) It shows which side of the road your destination is with an arrow at the end of the route.

3) If you are going under a bridge the route looks like it is going under with broken route and the bridge in solid on top. I think this is one of the best improvements since sometimes u get confused (well, I did many times) if there are 2 parellel roads of which one is going under and one is going above.

More updates later, if any

Cheers

Im uploading to the FTP site now.

the first upload is an easy to install package for us great britain folks. Included is the app, latest zip code file, latest maps plus roads of western europe and pocketgpsworld speed cam DB dated 30th august.

I will then upload just the app itself (so you have to get your own maps) and maybe the whole of western europe, but give it a few days, thats 1.5gb.

Package also available in a torrent (PLEASE SEED!!!)

BTW, this works great on my prophet. Little slower in response to v 5.21 but a much welcome improvment.

How do you get the 7 digit postcode search working, I only seem to be able to get the first 3 digits entered to do anything. I installed the patch to the memory card, as the readme suggests, but it doesn't seem to do anything?

9Mb seems a little large to install to the main memory, so I do hope that's not the solution...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dannyoneill:
you also need the registry entrys. On the FTP site in the uploads folder goto the Tomtom 521 dir, get the postcode file from there and install that to your SD cards root. It will create teh necessary registry entrys.

You also need a tomtom folder in the root of your SD card. it doesnt need to contain anything, just needs to exist.

Hi all,

The tomtom keyboard doesnt pop up when I try to Navigate to Contacts. So I have to scroll through all the entries in my contact list to get the address I wanted. Is it only for me? Anyone else experienced this? Also key board doesnt work searching for POI

I've installed Tomtom 6 and I'm going back to my real version of 5.21. For me there seems to be no way of turning off the screen. I have a screen off program mapped to a button, and with 5.21, you could always just press the power button. This allowed me to turn the screen off on a long journey (motorways etc) so there was no need to plug the phone in to charge it...

Then in Tomtom go to GPS Status click on Configure, select "other GPS..." then select com port 6 and it will take a sec then you should have it come up.

I am using rom 2.26 so not sure if different!

Look - my son had major surgery today, he's three months old and he's had half a lung removed. I've spent the last 18 hours by his bedside. I'm up again in 4 hours. I come home and check out the board, and guys are pebble-dashing the forum with warez links, saying "Download this quick". I've received many PMs asking me to clean up the warez, and where possible, I have. But I've been busy today, and might miss some links. I'll be busy for several days, and might miss many. Please try to have some respect for the future of this forum.

I'm not asking you to NOT download warez. If you must, do it, it's nothing to do with me. But do it in your own time, on other sites. Frankly, if you're that interested, I'll send you links to the warez. But I don't want them posted in the public forums, where the author of the app can come to us and get us shut down, or cease and desisted. If that happens, this forum will die. The admins aren't made of money, and the mods are all just homeless ex-strippers helping out where they can. For free. In their spare time. Despite their children being cut up in hospital, family disputes, work, life and everything else.

Please try to use your own good sense. Don't link to warez. Host the files yourself, and link to your own site. But don't directly link to warez.

TOMTOM 6 on XDA11i - Bluetooth Problems!

:? :? Just a notification of some strange happenings with bluetooth handsfree -

I have been having problems with connecting the BT handsfree Earpiece since installing TT6 - have tried uninstalling it, and then BT handsfree works fine - it also works fine with TT5.21. - reinstalled TT6 and managed (with help) to get it all working from the 512MB SD card ( just 2 main folders on there:- GB plus Western Europe main roads map & Program Files with everything else in there),

everything was working ok until I tried to connect to tomtom for a traffic update via GPRS, - I kept getting a message saying couldn't connect to server and to check GPRS settings on device or soft reset, which i did and re inserted all the GPRS settings.

Then I could connect via GPRS to get traffic updates - but it was impossible to connect the BT handsfree again. Strange ain't it !!

I don't have any problems with the bluetooth GPS which is a Globalsat 339.

Apparently the version of TT6 that is available at the moment is only a pre-release and so has quite a few bugs in it - best to wait until the retail version is available. - when it is working I have found it to be really good - so without the bugs it should be great.

If anybody has any ideas on fixing this problem, let me have your input, i'm willing to give it a go, but i'm not very technical so need simple instructions. cheers all!

TOMTOM 6 Bluetooth Problems SOLVED

I think i've solved the connection problem(with help from anonymous) :wink: I Hope this helps someone else with similar problems. Downloaded Broadcom 3900 cab from wiki site/Blue Angel, to overwrite files already installed on my XDA11i - in case any were corrupt, this didn't make any difference. Then downloaded A2DP cab from Alpine Upgrading forum - put on to SD card - run it on XDA - soft reset - set up pairing with Headset - at first didn't seem to work but looked in active connections and icon was there tapped status and it was connected :lol: - icon showing on top bar, tried turning on and off few times - made phone call - started up tomtom 6 - all seems to be working Ok. I haven't tried another soft reset yet as that was where the trouble started before - so far so good - I now have a fully working XDA11i with tomtom 6, all the maps and whistles and bells and connectivity to my BT Headset I hope this helps if you are having bluetooth headset problems, try A2DP.
