i've uploaded the new version - just re-download the attachment.
Edit the path in the provided ttloader.conf file so it reflects the path to wherever tomtom executable is (TomTom Navigator.exe)
Put ttloader.conf into My Documents (its My Device\My Documents, not documents and settings).
It should work now, let me know if it doesnt.

Thanks for your work nivanov !!
This new version works just great :approve:
At first it didn't...... but just because my shortcut still pointed to the original "tomtom navigator.exe" file
The guys at TomTom should learn a few things from you.

This works great on my iPAQ.

Thanks I always had to set my volume to max just for TomTom, now it's not an issue.

Thanks very handy. I was thinking of using mortscript. This can be done with that too.

thank you for a great program!!!

are you setting the volume to max by changing a registry setting? any chance the config file can accept other registry changes to set on startup and put back on exit? i am thinking about the setting for the connecting bubble. it can be set to not show so that when tomtom traffic is connecting, it will not disrupt navigation. the registry value is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{8ddf 46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}]
"Options"=dword:00000000

i am not able to find a registry to disable the cannot connect bubble. but there seems to be a way to program:
HWND hwnd = ::FindWindow(L"Dialog",L"Cannot Connect");

if ( hwnd != NULL )

:: DestroyWindow(hwnd);

rather than hard coding "Cannot Connect", it could be added to the config file as well with number of seconds to check.

EDIT: found the above code here.

There is a registry setting that gets changed every time you change volume. However, it is passive: it changes when volume changes, but if u change it, it does not reflect on the volume itself in any way.
I make an OS api call to a library (user.dll i think) to control volume.

Found you via PocketGPSWorld. Have downloaded MS Net & installed in default location. Have also downloaded your TTloader but am unsure where to place it. TT is also installed in default location. My PPC is IPAQ 2210 NET v2.
Thanks

with the new version, you can put it anywhere, but config file has to go into My Documents. If you dont wanna use the config file, put it in the same directory as TomTom Navigator.exe

Thanks. Its a great program and is working like a dream. Brill!!!!

Hey everyone. I just purchased a new bluetooth GPS receiver. I'm going to change TomTom Loader to turn bluetooth on and off, just like the volume:

Step 1. Remember current bluetooth state (On/off)
Step 2. Set it to On, if necessary.
Step 3. Run tomtom.
Step 4. When Tomtom quits, restore bluetooth device state found in step 1.

If anyone needs this functionality, let me know and I'll post the newer version.

Thanks a lot. Works great on a Fujitsu-Siemens Loox N560 too.

This is a very useful app, I must say. Unfortunately, on my Axim x51v it doesn't restore the volume when I exit Tomtom. It's left on full. Not a major problem, but since you said that it 'saves the current volume setting, then sets volume to maximum, runs TomTom6 and when its closed, restores volume', I wonder if I am doing something wrong.

nivanov

thats weird, i also got x51v and it works just fine. Its an OS call, I don't see how it wouldnt work unless u messed with sound drivers...

Hi

I installed on my loox720 and the app works nicely. The only problem is that it takes 25 seconds to start TT6 compared to the 5 seconds when launching TT6 direct. I have TT6 installed in the main memory and not on the CF card where the map is.

I am wondering if this extra time is the same on other devices or if I have made a mistake in the installation.
