I bought a TomTom citymap for my 6600 and discovered (too late - stupid me) that you can only install it via a PC, and not with an Apple. Does anybody has a solution? (TomTom certainly doesn't). Or do I have to find somebody who managed to get a 6600 and a PC communicating (wich seems to be quiet a challenge in itself).
installing TomTom Citymap with Apple?
Sure, i did install it - and i sent my solution to tomtom hoping they will include it in their faq. I assume you run Mac OS X and have bluetooth working? It so, unpack the zip-archive, look for the 9210-folder (don't ask me why they name it so). Now swith bluetooth on, mark the *.sis-file and press "apple-shift-b" for sending the file to your phone (accept transfer and install the app from your inbox). Do so for every sis-file (the app, the map, the overlay-map). (Maybe you have to pair ("configure"😉 your phone with the mac before using the bluetooth-assistant, but i think just for sending a file this is not necessary).
Here is what i wrote to tomtom:
"Indeed the *.sis-files in the folder "n9210" worked when i transfered them via bluetooth from the mac to the phone and launched the installation from there. I now have citymaps running without ever touching your "setup.exe" or having to boot a windows pc. Hint: Why don't you add a readme-mac.rtf file to the ZIP-file and explain how to do it (and maybe rename the obscurely named folder "n9210" to "installation_files"? This would make life easier for the non-windows crowd."
It is a great application, but i wonder why there are not all maps from former citymaps-editions (palm, psion, pocketpc) available for the phone. Maybe somehow a map from a older psion-installation will work on the phone too?
It works! Thanks! (indeed stupid people at TomTom)
