Hi,
When I installed TomTom I did it all from the installer program on the PC. i.e: established a connection with Activesink, ran the tomtom installer on the PC, choose "TomTom 5 for pocket PC" and followed the instructions. I used the installer to transfer the maps as well.
whatabody - are you referring to the GPS status screen which shows the signal strength bars for the received sateliites? This screen works fine.
The software as a whole seems to work really well on the MD95900 - the only slight 'glitch' that I've encountered (on my unit and also a friends) is that when you first run TomTom it illuminates the buttons on the right hand side of the unit and they stay on (if you press one of the buttons then the lights will turn off after a few seconds - as they should, otherwise they'll remain lit). It's not a problem really unless you're running on batteries (in which case you only have to press one of the buttons to turn off the lights). |

Silly me!, I meant to say ActiveSync.
So yeah, johnnyboy146, I reckon that you should run setup.exe on the PC with the Medion already connected via ActiveSync.
Hope this helps. |

Oh them! I'd never really noticed those before.
No, they don't appear to work. |

| Do you delete any of the medion programs to get this thing to work? And what dll did you replace? I'm having trouble trying to start the tom tom programs. |

Followed these instructions about a month ago and got it all working (sorry for the late response)
For those who may need the pack dll's in part (2) i have them on my site at http://www.bertouche.com/hosting/packdllxania.zip
To extract the exe in part (4) you might need winrar or similar.
The NAV... in (*) is not required.
Only problem I have is that it takes numerous presses of the power button to come on :-?

Hi all,
Well I have read this post with interest, then tried the above. 
I have a MD95900 (200S) I managed to install TT5 with what seemed no problems, however I get No GPS device showing all the time.
Have I missed something?
It appears to be functioning well enough apart from this slight hitch  |

Hi skankit
Have you got the correct GPS hardware selected in the TomTom settings?
To check, go to "Change Preferences" -> "Show GPS status" -> "Configure"
It should be set to:
"other Cable NMEA GPS"
with a Baud rate of "4800"
and "GPS on serial port 2" |

Hi fortyb
Apologies for the delay in replying.
You don't need to delete any of the Medion programs for TomTom to work (you can keep the Medion Navigator and the MP3 player).
The important DLL is the GX.DLL found in the "Pocket PC GAPI 1.2" download - step (4). The 'pack.dll' and 'packdllxania' zips also contain a GX.DLL but it is not the correct one for TomTom to work - therefore, I'd recommend that step (4) is done last.
(it seems to me that the Medion Navigator runs better with this GX.DLL in place too)[/quote] |

rename
0000data.002 to data.chk and
TOMTOM~1.001 to TomTom Navigator.exe
and copy these files over. That's all you need (ok, you need at least one voice too, and of course the maps)

I've just followed the above instructions on a 220 purchased from Toy's R Us and it works without problems.
However, to make the screen work correctly, you must completely delete the GX.DLL from the \windows directory.

Hi friends...I got a problem too...
So, I have MD 96800. GPS works fine with maps and software that came with it.
One cd is named as Smarthpath Trip and the other is Smarthpath City.
It is the software from NAVMAN i believe and there is lots of maps...so i would like to install it to use that maps...but...
Im new in this so i will most likely ask a stupid questions...
Well, when i insert cd the app starts...I have several options like...Install Smarthpath Trip, Install GPS support...Add Map...etc.
I have installed the Smarthpath Trip and GPS Support. MD 96800 aske me where to install...to be correct i have installed it in deafult directory. Installation goes smooth...no reports of errors...but...!!!
When i try to start the Smarthpath GPS it says this...
"Cannot find `TOMTOM GPS` (or one of its components).Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required liraries are available."
Same thing is when i try to start Smarthpath Trip to view the maps.
Help please,
Bolerules. |
