my dad bought tomtom5 and the bluetooth receiver to go with his xda last month, now im getting an xda exec and i wanted to know if i have to but another copy of tom tom 5 or can i just copy his onto another card and just buy a receiver???

[gilford]

I think (but dont quote me ) that you can install Tom Tom onto 2 handheld PDA's with one purchase

[gaz2923]

yeh thats what i was thinking, i think my dads was supplied on an sd card so preumably i would have to copy the files onto a computer and then onto another sd card which i would then pop into my phone

can anyone confirm this

[/////AMG]

You can try. I think it would work.

Hi John,

It sounds like you may be able to help me

I have just bought an SPV M5000, but cannot install TomTom v5 on it, it worked no prob on my old XDA2, but the installation simply won't begin when I try with the SPV. Can you tell me how you managed it?

Many thanks in advance,

Richard

[john.-h123]

yes i can get it working just mail back

[rimibar]

Thanks John - I've dropped you an e-mail!

After all John's help I finally managed to get TomTom v5.0 working on the SPV M5000, however I now find the following problems:

1. TomTom boots itself up and therefore I often pick up my phone to find that the battery has been killed
2. When running (and plugged into car power) it regularly and randomly (!!!) shuts itself down. When I restart it recalculates the rest of the route, but boy is it annoying?!??!?

Anyone out there know how to recify the problem?

you using the 5.21 version update of TomTom?

[rimibar]

Hi uridium - no I'm not it's 5.00 - I had to manually install it from a disk and I don't have the 5.21 version, do you know how I can get this?

Dear Sir

Thanks for your email,

Orange SPV M5000 will not be compatible with TomTom Navigator 5. We can not tell about the future with the new software. Please keep an eye on our homepage www.tomtom.com in May there will be new software.

With best regards,

have a wonder over to xda developers forum. ull get all the answers there with this sorta thing

guys,still cant get it up and running.desperate to get my tom tom 5 working on my spv m5000.its my bt gps receiver to the software

Following all the threads above I have now got the latest version on my SPVM5000 BUT... if I am just following the route on screen with no destination set - all is well. When I set a route the device functions OK for 10-15 mins and then just hangs and I have to reboot to get the system back. Anyone else had this?
