TomTom 6 on IPAQ 5550 "no maps found"

I read with pleasure that people have TT6 running on IPAQ 5550 under WM2003 from an SD card.

I have Navman sleeve on 5550 with 1Gb SD. I tried loading eveything onto the SD card but no matter what I reorganise I always get "No maps found".

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I have no idea about the Navman sleeve but everything on my 5550 works when installed from the DVD to the 5550 with a 4GB SD card in its slot.

Is your installed from the DVD via TomTom Home or did you buy it pre-installed on an SD card?

Some of the versions found on ebay have this issue.

Thanks for responding. It came loaded on the SD card. I read some of the ideas like putting the maps in a my documenst folder on the SD card but so far no joy.

Any further thoughts?

So what directory are the maps in? Is this an official TomTom SD card?

If the 2577 folder (with the autostart and cab files) is removed from the root of the SD Card on my PDA, the maps are not found.

Does the Navman sleeve have a card slot as well (maybe a CF slot)? Is there a card in it? If so, try removing the card from the Navman sleeve. TT6 has problems sometimes with multiple-card devices. It can't seem to search for the maps correctly when there is a card in the second slot. THe SD slot in you 5550 would, of course, be the first slot.

I know some sleeves had that CF card slot.

My TomTom6 will not find any maps unless there is a file called autorun.exe in the "storage card\2577" directory. It does not matter what the autorun.exe file is, it just looks to see if that a file with that name is there. Mine is now a blank file so it does not autorun when I insert the storage card.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have come to the conclusion that the SD card is cactus, so will have to start again.
