TomTom Navigator 3.07 CAB files available for download

No, it doesn't matter where you put the CAB files. Once you transferred them to the Pocket PC you find them in Pocket File Explore and tap on them - this will start the installation. After installation the CAB files get deleted automatically. If you don't want that "feature" then make them read-only before you transfer them.

There are a number of registry editors around. I am using the one built into the Resco Explorer suite. Have a look at Handango or other sites.

The keys that needs changing are here:
HKLM\Software\TomTom\TomTom Navigator\Maps

You have two string values that need to be adjusted. One value pointing to the map folder

"California" = "\Storage Card\California-Map"

and the other one defining which map to open

"LastMap" = "California"

Verify that both links point to valid values. (The quotes are only shown to indicate string values, they should not be included)

Hi,
I copied mine to the SD Card first, and then copied them to My Documents in main memory and executed them from there, this saved a lot of time when I "accidentally" did a hard reset., and had to execute them again.
Do I gather though that I could have made them read only and still executed them, thus avoiding a second copy?

You probably copied the ZIP file over. You need to extract the CAB from the ZIP before you copy it to the Pocket PC.

(we are bandwidth conscious)

oh no! hold your horses...

You need only one CAB file (your language choice, ARM processor). Click the appropriate link on the download page, save to your desktop. Unzip ONCE so that the CAB file lands on you rdesktop. Transfer the CAB file to your Pocket PC and execute it there.

Do NOT unzip the CAB file AGAIN!

Those are for Pocket PCs or Handheld PCs with different processors. Back in the Pocket PC 2000 days there were also Pocket PCs with non-ARM processors available, namely Cassiopeias and Jornadas.

Since Pocket PC 2002 only ARM processors are supported (for whatever reason) so it's a safe bet that your PocketPC has one, too.

The article is only relevant for people that want to use multiple GPS programs. If you ever only will use TomTom then there is no need for you to change anything.
