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.

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.
The emulator:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/w...w/default.aspx
says
"Visit http://beta.microsoft.com,

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

Hi loscooby
I had this problem - You have to open up the PPC_2003_SE\PPC_2003_SE_WWE cold start first and while open you can select the Device Emulator 'manager' to get the cradle option.
Strangely i can't get the resolution to be availible for selection in Video section to allow 800x600..any ideas..?

Guys you need to read the documentation both on the M$ beta site and in the help file.
Got to say though it is far too slow to use day to day in the car on Epia MII 12000; it works-ish, but it kills the rest of the car pc functions due to it's processor usage.

I agree with StevieG it works, but it is sluggish... Unless the performance can be improved then it is a little slow. tested it. works ok though. Just like the pda versions

100% cpu usage!, your right its going to be way to sluggish for a carpc.
I rencently got hold of an old xda (for not much), and i'm thinking is there a way to run tomtom on the pda but have some sort of vnc type thing display everything on the pc.
Will the serial connection through the cradle have enough bandwith to send all the data to the pc?
