Wow! I’m really sorry about the delay. I was hoping to have the activation part of the review up last week. However, sometimes life just gets the best of you, no matter what your plans are. What can you do? Anyway, on to the activation portion….
The activation process is nearly identical to the previous release (TT5). My last blog finished up with installing the maps, software, voices and satellite images onto your storage card. I had you disconnect your device from your computer and then remove and re-insert your storage card.
Once you re-insert your storage card, installation begins immediately. (Background for Windows Mobile Devices: TomTom HOME copies the .cab files (i.e. the install files) and creates a “2577” directory on your storage card. From what I’ve learned, a “2577” directory is a special directory used by the OS to install programs. Basically, if the OS “sees” a directory on your storage card labeled “2577”, it will look in that directory and install any .cab files it finds in it.)
Step 1: Program automatically begins installation when you re-insert your Storage Card.
You will soon be prompted to specify some of your preferences (i.e. time format, preferred language, etc). If you make a mistake on any of your preference choices (or change your mind later), don’t worry! You can change them under the “Preferences” menu (discussed in a later blog).
