Getting TomTom software on to the X51v

Just bought this machine, arrived today, went through the instructions for loading the TomTom software on to it and when I click on SetUp at the end, I get an error message saying it cannot be completed - any suggestions please?

Use Microsoft Active Sync Version 4.1 and the latet TomTom Update V5.21.
I had no trouble to install and it works perfectly.

My system: Dell X51V / TomTom Navigator 5.21 / Bluetooth GPS - Mouse Navilock BT-338.

Best regards

Mine is version 5.00 - is this likely to be a problem?
Thanks.
Simon.

I've downloaded version 5.21 update from the TomTom site, but when I double-click the the exe file on my desktop (as directed to by the Tom Tom instructions) ActiveSync 4.1 always wants to repair or remove itself, for some reason. Alternatively I have copied the update over to the Axim using windows explorer but if I try to open it on the Axim I get the message "navupd521 is not a Pocket PC application". Any more suggestions?
Thanks again.
Simon.

There seem to be two different updates: an older version withou voices and a newer one with voices (Lisa). I did the update with the old version which I downloaded from the english support side. It is right that both versions will uninstall Version 5.0.
I hope you understand what I wnat to say because my english is not very good.

Best regards

See

Your links are broken.

The 5.21 update is only on the UK site, why isn't it on the US site? I'm having problems getting my older usa maps working with 5.21.

The links were broken for around 4 minutes until I found out why they were broken. Try them again - they should now work.
