can Navigator 5 work on an SPV c500?

I've recently bought navigator 5 and am really pleased with it. Does anyone know if I can copy the files from the SD card to a mini SD card and put it into my orange spv c500 and get tom tom to work on my phone without having to buy tom tom mobile?

If it can't work, does anyone know of anywhere that will sell tom tom mobile software only as I already have the bluetooth gps receiver now so don't need another...

Its a long shot, but worth an ask.

Many thanks Wink

I haven't tried TomTom but in my experience, Pocket PC PDA applications don't work on the Windows Smartphone C500 unless they are written or compiled especially for it.

You need TomTom Mobile 5 for the SPV C500. It is basically the same as Navigator 5 but is "optimised" for the screen size and phone capabilities. For example it does not offer you a soft or on screen keyboard as it knows you do not have a touch screen and instead you have to use the telephone keypad as you do for texting.
