Where are you getting 6.021 from? My version of TomTom Home says I have the latest version.

Hi!
As for the 6.21 update, i just got it via Tomtom Home as well. Installation was not exactly straightforward. I experienced the same problem as mentioned above (unable to uninstall).
in the end I ended up:
1. uninstalling tomtom on my memory-stick (this leaves the maps etc. in place)
1. unpacking the .cab file that tomtom has downloaded into a private directory
2. plug in my m600 in usb-mode
3. copy the contents of said .cab file into the root of the memory-stick, overwriting the old versions.
4. disconect the drive in XP
5. unplug my m600 - it says usb disconnected
6. wait for 6 sec. and don't touch a thing
7. m600 offers the new tomtom version for installation.
8. install as usual
that at least worked for me, though i can't see why it has to be that complicated.
cheers

di you read the 'readme' i thought i understood the readme till i tried it took me @30mins to get goin...if you open the cmd and then cd to the right directory, it worked easy when all typo's in cmd corrected
line should be a bit like
C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Desktop\\key\\>TT6_kg_4_C4Pda.exe Great_Britain.mid
hope this helps

Hello.It's very difficult for me to writh in English, sorry.
I read a soluce to have trafic info without pay. When you install TT6, you have 30 days without pay. To keep then after then 30 eme days, then soluce is, you uninstall TT6, and you make a new mail for TT plus, but you must reset you memory card, and your P990i, it's no good.
when you have uninstalled TT6, if you haven't reset your phone and your memory card,it keeps info of TT plus, your adress mail, it's for that, you must reset your phone and your memory card.
I think, the soluce, it's to kill some folders via SMP, but witch forlders?
Someone, say witch folders kill without make a reset of memory card and of the phone.
thank you for your answers...

Is there a way to have bluetooth automatically turn off once TomTom is closed?
Works on PocketPC but can't find anything on the p990i to get it to switch off automatically.

Finally got 6.021 via TomTom Home, and had to do exactly what majello said to get it working.
Only difference I've seen is the option to switch between Left and Right Hand settings.

@i.o
Yeh i have all the settings correct and have my username and password entered and nothing. I guess i can live without the PLUS service as i would only use the TomTom to help me get from A - B.
Thanks for your help |

This may sound like a daft question but can I connect my Bluetooth GPS receiver and Bluetooth Car Kit to my P990i at the same time and get them to perform as if they were independently connected?

@artesea,
maybe it is a 700 not sure!
Thanks for the info, I am arguing with Wayfinder over chargable extras not working now!
The big diffrence between wayfinder and tomtom is that wayfinder download the maps on the fly when you are out and driving and TomTom has tha maps locally installed on the mem chip. Thus making the drawing of maps much faster than wayfinder.. The upgrade cost for maps are something you need to do perhaps every second or thrice year if you want to have the latest maps, tip is to check the official site for what the changes are in the map version, if it have been added an lot of roads in country Z and nothing in country Y, and you live in country Y and never planning on visiting country Z perhaps you can wait one more version of the maps 
Myself are running TomTom 6 with an wayfinder bluetooth GPS
Hej Scorpan,
Have you ever used the wayfinder sw? I would be interested in getting a direct comparison as to which system is best?
Wayfinder have now kindly refunded me for both the traffic and speed camera upgrades.
But I am still keen to have a system that will warn me of speed cameras, the Wayfinder system only warns you of cameras in a general 1 Kilometre range and it seems to miss most of those! and the Cyclops upgrade does not help at all.
Do you have to use a dedicated memory stick to use Tom Tom, or can you just copy the maps you want to use to your own Duo Pro, and load the software to the phone memory, how much space does it use?
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Can't comment on WayFinder. But I've got a 4GB Memory Stick Duo which is reguarly used for MP4 and MP3 and has the maps of UK and Ireland.
I get the latest speed cameras from PocketGPSWorld who have the whole country covered (updates come from the users themselves, so extremly acurate).
I can choose between one icon saying Speed Camera, or have the full 30 odd icons telling me what type of camera it is and what the speed limit is. Use that with the ogg files from the site and you can get vocal warnings as well!
it only costs £2 a month (or less for the year), or if you don't do long journeys frequently, you can buy the new cameras when you need them.
