It's also a well known fact that the POI's need to be disabled for the illegal versions of TTN5.
The legally registered versions do not appear to have this problem.

Incorrect, legally registered versions purchased directly from
TomTom have this problem on many PDAs. The statement you
have repeated seems to be an urban myth, probably started a
certain company to try and stop people pirating the software.
probably started by Tomtom |

I actually started what you describe as an urban myth, not TomTom.
The first statement:
| Quote: | | It's also a well known fact that the POI's need to be disabled for the illegal versions of TTN5. |
is definitely true. I have proved it by experimentation and have had the experiments confirmed by another member of this forum.
The pirate versions cause either the "No POI found" error with WM2003 or a crash to the Today Screen with WM2003SE.
The second statement, I'm afraid, was somewhat of a generalisation:
| Quote: | | The legally registered versions do not appear to have this problem. |
Are you getting the specific problem described above or are you just disabling the POI's to improve performance? If you are getting exactly the same error then there is a problem that TomTom need to address but which is complicated by the many instances where this problem is caused by pirate copies.

my thoughts on the x50v and ttn5.1
just come back from 3 weeks driving arounf Europe 2700 miles in total - used ttn5 all the time.
over the 3 weeks I used the uk plus map the france plus map and the spanish map.
soft resets required 4.
dropouts 4 overall (hence the resets).
no problems with charging the dell and it appears to run cooler, no delays when exiting the program, some issues with the maps - especially ttn5 trying to put me on unbuilt french autoroutes. Overall very impressed - I think it works bbetter then ttn3 in france as the maps are better (no routing down dirt tracks this year) - I did 80% of my driving on motorways which may have helped.
All the mpas were on a 1gb integral sd card.
For me 5.1 is far far more robust than 5.0 I had only the continental poi's on display in Europe and only the pocket gps (UK) ones in the uk.

Hi
I had a copy of tt5 which locked out all he time so i then bought a proper copy to try and still the same so original or copy it does the same thing.
I only wish i had stuck to my £10 copy from e-bay i would have been £105 better off now as i still cannot use it on a journey, its fine round my local town but i know the way through town.
Also yesterday i left it in the car switched on in the cradle for 3 hours and when i came back it was still switched one but after 10 mins of driving it crashed:(
I am off for the weekend so i have now disabled the poi and will see if this works but am not happy paying for something i cannot use.
Is it possible to use poi files from elsewhere and still get it to not crash i only want the speed camera ones. Asda did come in handy last week though

I went to QVGA mode in the end and can report reasonable sucess.
I travelled down to London and it seems to work well, only quarm is if I take the unit out of the docking station (which disconnects the GPS) or turn off the engine (which turns off the GPS) and the unit is performing guidance, it locks the unit up and I have to soft reset it to get it work again.
Have tried taking out the battery and it comes back on with a memory error, but providing I exit the application before disconnecting the GPS unit in anyway, its fine and I actually prefer the QVGA mode.
This is running TomTom 5.1 with VGA mode disabled on a dell X50v. |

I hate the TomTom inbuilt POI's and the lame icons !!
To fix the problem I just renamed the TomTom Poi .dat file and my eyes do not have to suffer anymore 
My Axim X50v works perfectly, it has only crashed once in over 1000 miles and that was POI Warner. I logged a speed camera point by pressing an assigned key and it crashed out.
Apart from that minor incident even the POI Warner has worked flawlessly. |

I fowllowed these instructions :-
| Quote: |
Workaround: Use ResHacker to set the TTN5 executable to not be Hi Res aware (delete the key named 2057 in CUEX -> HI_RES_AWARE)
|
Basically download a tool called reshacker and open up the tomtom navigator exe from your palmtop, then delete the key it says and save the exe back to your palmtop |
