TomTom How To (PocketPC Emulator)

**sama** · 05-30-2006, 08:01 AM

dont' put anything in the commadn line for the serial, but change it using the gui. the serial port config is saved with the state.

I know this area is still a little flakey, but my kit is all out of the car at the mo due to some maintainace so tomtom is on hold for a bit.

man still don´t work... i don´t write /u1 com8 to command. i chane only in emulator and make save state, but when i start again (start shortcut) it make same error...

is it a bluetooth gps?
can you see it using gpsinfo on com8?
could anythign else be hogging the serial port?

**Bill-CZ** · 05-30-2006, 09:23 AM

it´s normal USB GPS.
GPSinfo normal work...i test to change to another com port but still same error

yeah, I remember I had a similar thing. you can't start the emulator at all right?

THX man now it work, but i must often when i start emulator change serial port in Emulator, and don´t save...don´t have to some tip how to fix it?or don´t if it possible use only maps to destinator?

u should be able to use destinator no problem, but not tomtom with destinator maps.

there are ways of automating the serial port mapping externally. search for autohotkey

Hi Sama,
Got a question:

I got everything running but when the TomTom wizard pops up and i get to select the voice setting (after the clock setting) the whole PPC freezes up.

ive got the voices(dataXX.chk files) properly installed, do you (or someone else) have any idea what could be wrong?

**sama** · 05-30-2006, 07:50 PM

yep, happened to me too. it's very annoying and you'll need to do the procedure again. only this time, dont' save the state until tomtom is started. I'm guessing you got hold of the image that somehow made it's way around

follow the tutorial to find the way, then save the state without the serial configured too

Hi!

I'm able to start the emulator, everything is fine. When I start Tomtom the screen becomes blurry (almost unreadable). I can see that the Tomtom program is running (the setup phase).

What can that be?
