There's some basic information in the thread above for a similar model.

As always make a backup of your device first.

I can't find information on your operating system but just know that TT is Linux-based not WinCE based. However, there is a TT program available for TT WinCE.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!
ALWAYS BACK-UP YOUR FILES/FOLDERS BEFORE MAKING EDITING CHANGES!

Please do NOT post any thanks. Simply press the hand icon with the "thumb up" which is the thank you button.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, a friend downloaded the tomtom software from Demoniod, I have packed the software in to a folder named mobilenavigator as advised in the link but there is no .exe inside the folder to rename.
Please can you advise if you know of a link to download the files required.
Thanks.

Download this version of Tomtom -> [Please Register or Login to download file]
[color="red"]Download and archive passwords: navitotal[/color]
Maps are here -> :link:
[color="red"]Pay attention to the compatibility chart, You have a PDA/PNA 7.4XX navcore.[/color]
Download AutoActivate -> :link:

Copy everything to a SD card, Rename both Tomtom directory to MobileNavigator and Tomtom Navigator.exe to MobileNavigator.exe

E:\MobileNavigator\MobileNavigator.exe
E:\Map Folder\Cline.dat... etc...
E:\AutoActivate.exe

Where E:\ is whatever your PC calls your card reader

Insert card into device and reboot, Depending on device you may need to tap the option for navigate.
Tomtom should start now (in french) and complain about map activation.
Turn off device, remove card and put back into PC.
Run AutoActivate, wait until it's finished.
Insert card back into device and reboot.
Tomtom should start again, Now set up as you wish (language is on page six of settings, Icon is some flags)
After setting your GPS port and baud and getting a satellite lock, Tomtom will crash with not enough memory, Reboot and it should be ok from now on.

Thanks for all of your help.
I have downloaded the maps and autoactive but the link to the tomtom version is dead (2shared.com), it states that the file link that you requested is not valid. Please contact link publisher
or try to make a search.
Do you have another link?

Hi Thanks for all your help, I was able to download the file from the new link.
I have just loaded the folders/files onto the satnay card and run the Autoactivation but get the error cannot find TTGO.bif or TTNAVIGATOR.bif.

Sorry to be a pain.

You need to run Tomtom on the device and it will be created, Are you using a card reader or a USB cable connected between the PC and the device?

MobileNavigator.exe should be run on the device not on the PC, When the card is in the device and the unit is rebooted what happens?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I understand that MobileNavigator.exe should be run on the device not on the PC, when using the card reader Windows automatically thinks that the card is windows based.

When connected the satnav to the pc via USB it onlt acts as a charger.

When the card device is in the satnav unit and is rebooted it ignores the card and boots into the binatone software, I have tried as advised to click the navigation option but it still boots into the install binatone software.
Perhaps this particular satnav cannot be altered.

Tried using active sync to activate the to auto activate the files from within the satnat but on executing the file it only brings uo the file properties.
I guess I should have just bought a TomTom in the first place.

Thank you very much for all of your help!
Thanks,
Al.
