One dummy question:

Will the .OV2 (POI) files created for TT5 still work with TT6? Does anybody use that ?


One politically uncorrect question:

21 pages in three days and a caught-tuna-like fever for this TT6. One huge map per continent... 3 euro to rapidshare (I got a whole month, a week ago, btw)
What are the REAL reasons to upgrade ?


Thank you everybody.

Wow, the sexuploader.com site is fast! No limits like rapidshare and files can be up to 250mb!

As for reasons to upgrade - newer, more updated maps.
What's New and Improved compared with v5 (from gpspassion.com)
1. Lanches faster, 10 seconds versus 30 seconds
2. More colorful icons (65535 colors)
3. New maps : ships with the latest TeleAtlas 2006.4 maps, except the UK and Ireland that will have TeleAtlas 2006.7 maps for full coverage of Ireland
4. Optional "North UP" 2D navigation mode that is especially convenient for pedestrian use to avoid the annoying map rotations due to the limitations of GPS accuracy in urban environments and at low speeds
5. Navigation to a contact directly from the "Navigate to" menu
6. Optional "Safety Lock" navigation mode to have quick access to essential features while navigating (Navigate to, Alternative route, day/night, Exit, Sound on/off, 3D on/off)
7. Overspeed indicator on main roads
8. Actual Signpost display on freeways
9. Improved ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) thanks to the updated TeleAtlas maps (verified in Europe so far)
10. "Arrival time" feature for a quick view of your progress, late or early in color coded minutes
11. Navigation to a GPS (latitude/longitude) position
12. "TomTom Buddy" feature to transmit your position, a destination or a message via GPRS
13. Pre-installed speedcam database - Europe only
14. Tunnels shown on the maps with a shaded graphical display
15. Custom POI categories increased from 39 to 100

Folks,
I was happily using TT6 until now. Voices have been disappered. No sound at all. Any reason you know?? Thanks

Yes, my TT5 POI's work perfectly, as do the files from Color Screen Editor & my old voices. The only thing that didnt transfer was favourites.

btw mega thanks to all those who posted usable files ! :-)

If you have compact flash slot, just supprime voice folder, or just take cmpact falsh card out of it, and in TTN6 do a reinitialisation of parameters.

Hi Guys,

I know this is a bit off Topic but I've recently found this site for PPC stuff and its amazing, as I've got TT6 for PPC before most of the shops ;-)

BUT, I was also looking for TT6 Mobile for Symbian Phones (i.e. Nokia N73).

Does anyone know another site like this one for Symbian devices ?

Sorry for going off topic but Im been searching for too long now.

Thanks

Can you please give a walkthrough how you installed, I am trying to install on a C500, and all I get is "your device is not compatible with this version of tomtom navigator"

I found the resolution in an interesting way. The voice problem was gone when I copied the folder 2577 into the SD card. It will hopefully work forever....

I had the same problem with the new CAB on my smartphone, but the older one worked, so maybe that is worth a try.
