Is needed, then the command line entries to start it up, I provided some samples above.

The MS ActiveSYnc to install SW on it - just like on a normal PPC.

You then need your Tom Tom CDs to install it as normal on a PPC.

Hi guys!

I am amazed to see the result of the emualtor, I am trying to connect using activesync but no luck. Activesync does not detect my emulator...

I detect my real pocketpc-pda fine but I can not seem to get it to talk to the emulator...

Do you have to do anything special that you need to do?

FANTASTIC!!!

JUST FANTASTIC!!!

Having Tom Tom on my Car PC would make it almost perfect!!!

How hard would it be to get music in road runner to reduce in volume when Tom Tom gives a direction? Like with Destinator.

Would it be possible to make this thread into a sticky with instructions for the more programablily challenged?

Very hard, unless you find a way/documentation which can detect when audio is playing inside the emulator.

You launch the Device Emulator 'manager', and select the 'cradle' option before using active sync.

WOW! OMG! There is a new version of Tom Tom 5 Navigator. Wonder if that would be compatible with this emulator.

Thanks guys!

I've ran it on my Epia MII 12000 in the car - havent got it working with the GPS yet... Not sure why that is though, I've got a spare GPS in the house to test it out properly first.

Stevieg!
I am having problems launching the Device Emulator Manager, nothing happens!
Should some kind of gui appear or something?
