After my good old TomTom Go 700 passed away I got a new TomTom Go 740 Live and soon found out it’s really easy to play video on a TomTom navigation device. This way you can use your navigation as an in-car entertainment centre. With TomPlayer you are able to watch full screen video’s in AVI (divx or xvid) or MPEG video and listen to mp3 or ogg audio files.

The documentation on tomplayer.net can be a bit confusing and installation is not the same for all TomTom models. In this post I will explain how to install and configure TomPlayer on an external MicroSD memory card. This method will work for models Go 740/750/930 Live and will probably work for a lot of other models. At the end I will explain another configuration which might work for your model.

Installation

1. Insert SD-card into TomTom slot
2. Download the Tomplayer zip archive and extract it
3. Connect TomTom to PC and quit TomTom Home
4. Copy The Following folders to your external SD-card: audio, tomplayer, video
5. Rename the folder “SDKRegistry” to “SdkRegistry” and copy this folder to the root of your TomTom internal memory

I’ve read the different descriptions for installing on the internal memory and on an SD card, and I was still a little confused by the terminology… especially references to /mnt/movinand and to /mnt/sdcard.

It seems like:
1 – /mnt/movinand refers to the removable storage (i.e., SD-card)
2 – /mnt/sdcard refers to the internal memory.

On Windows PC, these show up as external drives H: and I: respectively. So when we modify the configuration files taking these assumptions into consideration, Tomplayer worked correctly.

Configuration

1. Open tomplayer.ini (the file is in tomplayer/conf/ folder)
2. Change:
   video_dir                      = /mnt/sdcard/video
   audio_dir                      = /mnt/sdcard/audio
   to:
   video_dir                      = /mnt/movinand/video
   audio_dir                      = /mnt/movinand/audio
3. Open tomplayer.cap (the file is in SdkRegistry folder)
4. Change:
   AppPath|/mnt/sdcard/tomplayer/|
   to:
   AppPath|/mnt/movinand/tomplayer/|
5. Disconnect your TomTom from PC and restart it

Now you will have a fourth screen in your TomTom main menu. Start TomPlayer by pressing the icon. On first start TomPlayer will start with screen calibration. Touch the crosses and proceed. Last thing to do is to copy some audio and video to their respective folders on the SD-card. Have fun!

An alternative method is to copy all files of the distrib folder to your external SD-card. The ttfilesytem (do not copy this to your TomTom internal memory!) will load your TomPlayer as soon as the SD-card is inserted and normal TomTom will load when it’s ejected. This didn’t work on my TomTom Go 740 Live, even worse it made it crash, but I have read this method should work on most TomTom models. You can also install TomPlayer to your TomTom internal memor. I did not do this because I don’t to run out my internal flash read/write cycles. If you have any problems installing or configuring TomPlayer visit the tomplayer.net forum for more help.

If you want to watch video on your TomTom convert your video’s to avi or mpeg. Try MediaCoder as it’s free and it has everything you need. TomTom screen resolutions are 480*272 for the widescreen models (TomTom XL or GO) and 320*240 for fullscreen models (TomTom ONE).

I lost my Nokia N95-8GB a while ago when I went home after a party. Since I, maybe, had a little bit to much to drink I couldn’t really remember where I could have lost it, I wasn’t even sure of the last time I really had it. Fortunatly for me there are still lot’s of honest people walking this earth and so I was called (on my home phone) the next day to hear somebody had found my phone in an empty train….. Oops! It slipped out of my pocket!

I know not everyone will be as lucky as me, and if it is stolen the one who did it probably won’t give you a ring either. Because of this I started a search for a GPS-tracker with web and/or database functionality. After viewing and testing a few I found InstaMapper was the best solution for me. Easy to setup and use.

How does it work?

1. Install the software for your mobile OS (Symbian, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile supported)
2. Sign up for an account at InstaMapper.com
3. Make a trip and send some data
4. Login at InstaMapper.com and watch it on Google Maps!

PS. This is another fun cell phone tracker, haha

Mobile TV, the kind that is watched on a cellphone, is spreading beyond Japan and South Korea, where it has been available for about three years. Mobile operators across Europe and the United States are investing in new broadcasting towers, mobile devices, and television programming and promotions, even though it is not yet clear that profit will follow.

The European video broadcasts use a standard called DVB-H, short for Digital Video Broadcasting for Hand-helds, which was developed by the DVB Project, a group of 275 media , entertainment and telecommunications companies based in Geneva. But for this DVB-H standard you need a phone that has a DVB tuner inside and you’ll need to pay for it.

But what if you got your brand new device and it hasn’t got a DVB-H tuner or you don’t want to spend a lot of money on just a few channels? Well the solution might P2P tv. This phenomenon has been going on for years now on the internet. Programs like TVUplayer, TVants, SOPcast and PPlive/PPstream are well known and very popular. Most people use these programs to view television that is not available in their country or to watch and share movies, sports and pay-to-view channels. A lot of popular channels are available in different quality streams. FOX, ABC, Eurosport, Sky Sports, it’s all there.

Other solutions are also available. Applications that serve you internet livestreams of your favorite tv stations. Vimio, LiveTV and dailyme.tv are doing already and it seems to be working very well. They offer livestreams in low, med and high quality so you can choose according to your current internet connection.

Below are some of the applications you could use to have live tv on your mobile device:

Symbian

• LiveTV – more info
• Vimio – more info
• Dailyme.tv – (germany, Austria, Switzerland only)

Windows Mobile

• TVUplayer – more info
• Pocket LiveTV – more info

iPhone

• iTV – (search for it in app store)

Direct links to live channels:

• CNN International – Major (original) US cable news network.
• CNN Feed 2
• CNN Feed 3
• CNN Feed 4
• BBC News – World news.
• Bloomberg TV – 24-hour business and financial news network.
• CNBC – Business headlines and provide live coverage of financial markets.
• MSNBC – 24-hour cable news.
• Sky News – UK and world news.
• ABC News – Major US broadcast news network.

It seems that pocket console website is with us no more and so it can be difficult to find both pocket console and pocket cmd on the web. In order to help people who are still looking for them I have uploaded both packages in one zip file.

There could be problems if Pocket Console and Pocket CMD are installed to a memory card. You may receive the following error message:

“CMD Cannot start. There are too many console windows open. Please close some console applications and try again.”

Solution is installing them to internal memory rather than a memory card – they are quite small so this is no big issue.
