First thing to consider is whether the device has Windows CE 5 or 6 installed.

Tomtom Navigator doesn't run properly under Windows CE 6, For these devices iGO Primo is better.

Post the devices make/model if known. If not post any details about the device you can.

http://www.navitotal.com/forums/showthread.php?3016-How-to-install-Tomtom-7-on-dedicated-PNA-devices-with-Windows-CE-core-5&p=16202#post16202

This thread contains the version of Tomtom Navigator 7 I use, plus instructions and links to maps/speedcams etc...

Be aware that Tomtom can be picky about what devices it runs on, especially on double din devices, so no guarantees it will be successful.

If there is a problem it will show up as the dreaded "Not enough memory" error message Confusingly it's nothing to do with the amount of memory available, but it's the way Windows CE allocates memory for dll's

You will get at least one error when the device gets it's first satellite lock, normally it's ok after that. If not then we'll try something else
