I assume Tomtom was priviosly installed on you PDA or at least you PDA is not locked - meaning that you can install and run other software/games as well.
Download the last map for Australia v830.2290...
Password for download : demonfatal
The link says offline - thats for security only ,just klick onto the foldersymbol and download!
META for this map :
; Australia_830_2290
76 EE 1B F4 91 66 FD 89 8D F1 3E 4B 6E 11 62 D3 Australia-40.meta
Extract the keygen into a folder on your hard drive.
Extract the contents of the downloaded Tomtom archive to your PNA or SD-card.
Extract the map from the archive to a folder on your device(or SD-card...).
Start the Navigator (TomTom Navigator.EXE) once to generate the needed files to proceed - exit or do a soft reset.
Extract the map from the archive to a folder on your device(or SD-card...).
Activate map usig the keygen (Easyusetools...).
How ? - No idea!!!
Just kiddin
How to use Keygen :
4.1 Extract the files from keygen.rar to your had disk - already done !! -I hope??
4.2 Now copy .meta and .pna from your map directory to "insert_meta_from_Map_here" in the "Eaysyusetools..." directory
4.3 Using "Notepad" open the file "ttnavigator.bif" located in your "navigator" folder on your SD card.
4.4 Copy the number next to "DeviceUniqueID=" into the file "DeviceID.txt" in the "Easyusetools..." folder on your hard disk
4.5 Save and close the file "DeviceID.txt" - close the other window with the "ttnavigator.bif" too
4.51 Edit the file meta.txt in "progs" folder and insert the meta for the map - save and exit
4.5 Start "RunMeforDCT.bat" in "Easyusetools..." folder
4.6 Choose number 2 and press "enter"
4.7 Then choose number 1 and press "enter"
4.8 Close the window as the keygen is finnished
is a video tutorial as well - it is for a HTC but the steps should be the same.
Start the TomTom navigator in the "navigator" folder and enjoy or make a shortcut on your desktop first

Ok Noob question what are these 3 mean?
QVGA-black
QVGA-blue
VGA-black
They are for different screen resolutions - VGA is usually for the big screen models and QVGA for the smaller.
Meaning tha VGA is high-res and QVGA low-res.
You can see the difference - it is in German ,but you only need the pictures in the third post

Ok got a couple more questions,Do i have to delete any old files before i start the new ones in the pda folders it self.?
you saying to "extract the map from the archive to a folder on your device" do you mean just create afolder and put it there.
also for some reason my sd card is not in use(thats what it says in my settings) its been like that since new ive looked and i cant find anywhere to make it active,do i really need to use it?thanks.
I think you don't need to delete any old files - it might be better to have a "clean" install.
Just make sure to have aproper backup before you start - then you will be able to restore the system if anything goes wrong!
For the map : yes make a folder e.g. "Australia" and put all files from the archive in there (not the .rar file itself) and if the files are already stored in folder inside the archive you can put the complete folder onto your device.
Just make sure you end up with folder for your map in the root of your device.
Hint : if your Tomtom is not able to find a map ,even if activated with the keygen ,copy or move the mapfolder into the folder "my documents" - some systems need it that way.
And you don't need to use the card - it work fine from internal memory too.

Yep I had to do that as well
Map is version 830 so option "1" is the correct one
also with the
"4.51 Edit the file meta.txt in "progs" folder and insert the meta for the map - save and exit"
I take it you have to remove ALL data in that file and enter the meta data only, it's what I did.
Also VGA-Black version works fine on my HTC Tyttn II
All up and running now. first time I've been able to get any TomTom to run on my HTC

Hi Downunder35m
Thanks for the Excellent tutorial.
Due to a lot of Omnia owners (including me) having strife with GPS Receiver not being found and com port issues i have taken the liberty of adding some blurb
below and making the use of a free software called Portsplitter with a link below
Very Important Final Steps
Set the Windows Mobile settings
Start -- Settings -- External GPS -- Programs: COM8, Hardware: COM9 and Baud 4800, Access: Manage GPS automatically -- ok
Setup Portsplitter
Run pswm6.WM6_ARM.CAB from portsplitter folder on phone to install it
Run PortSplitter
Set input to COM8: (type it in) and output to COM6:.
Then ADD the output port by pressing the ADD button.
Check the AUTOSTART function and press START SPLITTER.
Portsplitter will start automatically with these settings when you run it from now on
Set TomTom Settings
Run TomTom
Change preferences -- page 6 -- Configure GPS -- configure -- set other nmea gps receiver -- Select -- baudrate 4800 -- COM6 -- Done:.
Now to have TomTom working well on your Omnia have portsplitter running every time BEFORE running TomTom due to porting issues
A final tip would be that portsplitter and tomtom are power hungry so make sure they are not left on too long when system not plugged into external power
Hope this helps
Thanks skull

It says "OS version 5.1"
Ok ive changed to my laptop running vista instead of my xp desktop,seems to be executed now and im up to
4.51 Edit the file meta.txt in "progs" folder and insert the meta for the map - save and exit
Im just not sure about this step if someone could please detail it alittle more if possable.thanks.
All so what do you call a soft reset?just turn it off/on or useing the full reset button?

For the "meta.txt" :
The meta.txt is a text file containing the codeto unlock the map (or several).
Just make a new textfile and copy the meta for the map in there - should look like this :
; Australia_830_2290
76 EE 1B F4 91 66 FD 89 8D F1 3E 4B 6E 11 62 D3 Australia-40.meta
save the file and give it the name "meta.txt" .
A soft reset is usually just pressing the reset button (almost like "turn off,turn on" - a full or hard reset deletes all temporary memory and forces the device to do a full reboot. But you will have to check how to do a hard reset for you unit - I only know for Tomtom Go730 and others of this range it is pressing the reset for more than 15sec..

Ok so its two there,so i save the 2 rename it meta.txt save it in the australian map folder it self?
It is just one file ,the meta.txt has to be in the folder "insert_meta_from_Map_here" in order to work with the keygen(Eaysyusetools) and must contain the info from the meta - as mentioned before.

What i meant theres two of theses
;Australia_830_2290
76 EE 1B F4 91 66 FD 89 8D F1 3E 4B 6E 11 62 D3 Australia-40.meta
;Australia_830_2352
F0 E0 C7 B3 0C 19 40 23 92 30 D2 C5 D7 82 29 70 Australia-61.meta
do i save it to" easy tools geneartor folder" or edit the meta folder all ready there with the files above.
Just put the four lines into one file and safe it as "meta.txt into the folder "insert_meta_from_Map_here" of the Easyusetools - for the 830.2290 map you only need the *****40.meta .
The Easyusetools will choose the right one for the map automatically

Ive been threw the procedure few times now keep getting "not map found"
Where do you get this message - from Tomtom?
If so and you got the .dct file from the Easyusetools and copied it back into the map folder , you should try copying the whole map folder into the folder "My Documents" on your sd card - if not existing create it.
Some PDA's need the user filer there.
