Looks like a bargain. Does it really work in the glovebox? Which chipset is it? RFMD or SiRF II / III ?

Arrgghh!! - I've now got my shiny new P990i and the Tom Tom software from Fatreg. However, when I install the software on my phone it keeps saying no maps found. I have a sub directory called "GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE" from the root directory which I assume is where the maps are stored.
I've done an uninstall and a re-install and got the same problem. I've also dropped the GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE.rar file into the root directory to see if that makes any difference but still no good.
I don't even get to the manual activation screen yet and I have the keygen all set up and ready to go!
Has anyone got any idea where I'm going wrong?? Any help would be greatly appreciated....

You need to go to the manage maps section of TomTom. Point it in the direction of your map pack and then enter your user ID.
It worked for me and works with this GPS receiver

Thanks. However, when I try and start up Tom Tom from the Tools menu in the control panel it's headed up at the top of the screen "Select a map: but in the main screen is still says No maps found! and all I have at the bottom of the screen is a button saying Done. |

I used to have a Globalsat BT308 with Sirf II chip. Impossible to have in the glovedepartment, it couldn't lock on to the satellites.
With my current BT Gps unit I always have lock due to the fact that it has Sirf III chipset.

To download TomTom 6 for UIQ3 follow this thread and information. I just installed it on my M600i, and it is working great ! (You can also add Speeding cameras as POI)

D'oh!! - I've done it now and it works fine.
I think my problem was I was impatient and tried copying the files directly from the zipped file which actually took ages. once I had unzipped the files properly and then copied them it worked first time.

ok i am a noob with all this navi software etc. i have a p900 and just got a bluenext gps thing.
Using nav4all, are there any sort of charges? ie does it connect to the internet or anything?
i ask because on the nav4all site it says:
6. What are the telecom costs involved?
In comparison with other forms of telecom traffic, the Nav4All telecom costs are negligible.
Significantly lower than the prices offered by other navigation service providers.
how does it cost?
also what settings do i need to have on my phone b4 installation - is it just an internet connection to download the software?
i am a bit puzzled!
hope someone can help - cheers  |

Well then.
Nav4all requires an internet connection to connect to their servers and download the map for the journey. It costs about 4p per hour of driving going by o2 prices on average(by my calculations anyway heh, so no guarentees )
For this you need an internet connection set up on your phone. This is most likely going to be a GPRS/3G connection from your network. You can get these details from the se website here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1_1&zone=ps&lm=ps1_1&pid=10336
But if you have a wireless network at home or something, you can use that which wont cost you anything! (as long as you always start from and download your rout at home )
In comparison to tomtom, wayfinder etc its a hell of alot cheaper if your not going to use it that much, but if your driving around daily you need something like tomtom where it doesnt cost to download maps(coz you have them on the memory stick).
