I dont think TomTom works on the N73. It needs to run the very basic version of windows to work.

how this is the right link - www.poogiepugs.co.uk/logosandbackgrounds/tomtomn73.zip
all you need to do is unzip 2 zip files, then make a new folder called "tomtom" on your mmc then put the contence of both zip files in
that folder, then just swich your phone on and that should be it 
here is the link to tomtom for my old 6600/6680

Damien that is a sweet looking Pug. I used to have one (altho not that pretty!). Good news on the TomTom. I was told by a numpty in carphonewarehouse
that it didn't work on the N73. I have one, and went out and bought a TomTom because of that! I will try your method and see what works. Many
thanks.

Mate it looks mint! I take it's a standard 1.9 8v? We stripped out a 1.6, took out the knackered engine and dropped a 1.9 in with the 1.6 box.
It made an awesome track car - great fun, especially in the wet. Having stripped out everything (and I mean everything) it went like stink - shocked a
few Scooby drivers around the track!

What is the mmc? I assume its a file in the phone itself? Do you set this up on the Nokia PC suite?

Just make sure you get a genuine TomTom GPS receiver - lots on Ebay.......
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Oh bugger, downloaded the files but cant extract them. Its maybe because im using winrar instead of winzip, or they corrupted on the download. Anyone
else managed OK?

ok ok people carm down......
mmc= media memory card, your need at least a 512mb one, you can get them off ebay for £10 maybe less. it is the same type of card that you use in most
cameras.
the best/easyest way to get the files on the phone/memory card is with a card reader, some laptops have them built in or you can get one off ebay for
about £10.
you can not put the files onto the phone/mmc by the data cable as the phone does not notice some of the files and ends up not coppying some over (well
it did that to me).
ive tested the file by downloading it and testing it on my phone and it all seems ok, the file is a zip file and can only be "unziped" by
winzip but the files inside the "zipped" file are RAR files which can be "unzipped" by winzip and winrar.
regarding the gps reciver, you can use any old bluetooth one, it dont need to be a tomtom one but the tomtom ones are the best and load/update the
fastest. i just got a £50 one off ebay and it does the job fine for me.
i hope that covers everything.

yeah she is a good old 1.9 8v lump, i use her for show 'n shine comps. ive rebuild from the ground up, ive rebuild the engine, gearbox, fitted
a ph2 black dash, ph2 black bumper strips, ph2 lights all round, limited edtion full leathers, limited edtion carpet, limited edtion doorcards and new
new wheels. all the parts (apart from the seats) came new from peugeot so it all cost me a fair few bob.
the 205's make great track cars but i decided to use my gti6 for the track but ive now decided to brake it and use the money for my locost build
