I've got TT5 working with Fortuna ClipOn, but have the following problems during a journey when a route is planned:
1. After about 2-3 minutes, TT5 exits, sometimes more frequent (45 sec)
2. If I try and Zoom in/out of map, TT5 locks up for 5 secs, then exits.
I have tried the same SDCARD and TT5 on the iPAQ 3970, and it works perfectly, so it's definately a XDA IIi problem !!! :x

I have purchased a cable to connect my XDA II to my Garmin Etrex Venture. If I have the Garmin set to NMEA In/Out (which Tom Tom appears to need) then as soon as I connect the XDA starts beeping several times a second and the phone is initialised. It appears that it is trying to make a call. After a few seconds the XDA locks up. Any ideas?
yes!
I'm having the same issues. The guys at YachtIQ.com where I bought the eTREX have been trying to help but to no avail.
Somebody, anybody?

Tom Tom 5 and XDA 2
I recently upgraded from TT3 to TT5, the only real problem I get is the phone ringer and caller display does not ring or display propperly.
My Jabra BT250 is slow in responding and answering when the button is pressed.
One other bugbare is not being able to see the Start Menu Bar when running TT5 as unable to see if you have a phone signal or received a text or missed a call.
Any help on these matters would be greatly apprecieated.
Thanks
ROM 1.7.2.00WWE

It seem's every xda has different problem's , when my phone ring's it do's take a second to ring in the BT headset and about another second when the button is pressed to answer the call , and i get a balloon come up to say who is calling but i think that is part of Fonix voice dial. Icannot see away round including the start menu while running tt5 or 3 , so does tom tom freeze when you get a call or change phone arials??, sorry i could'nt be any more help

I have been using TT3 extensively past year and recently upgraded to TT5.
No real issues.
THE issue with TT3 was that when my BT GPS was out of reach and i started TT3, it almost locked up my whole device (had to soft-reset). I found out is has something to do with my BT GPS. Aparantly WM2003SE does not have this issue.
next to this, I noticed frequent freezes IF I had actoivated POI. Tested this with several (also Toshiba and Panasonic made) SD Cards.
With TT5 these problems are gone.
The only thing I noticed when using TT5 is when I try to start a phne call the display is not properly build up: all except the numbered buttons are there.
No freezes whatsoever here anymore.
All in all still an improvement.
Tom tom 5 icm socket/emtac gps
I upgraded to ttn5 but cant get my gps to fix
emtac BT gps

The options are BT on com 6 (but I dont have a com6)

any Ideas how to activate those com ports ?
Thanx

use tomtom5patch from this site and place it in startup folder, then soft reset and try again

@pleun: Where do we find this patch (searched for it but no results) and what does it do?
Advice
I'm considering buying TT5 but am a bit concerned about all the problems people are having. I noticed on tomtom's website it is compatible with the XDA 2. Would it be best to buy this package as it all comes complete on an SD card tomtom have tested, or, go for TT3 - people are selling these on ebay really cheap??
TT5 and XDA2
I am running TT5 with the GB Plus map on the XDA2 without any problems.
You must use a BT or serial GPS connection. Get a good mount which has a RJ11 connector for the TT serial GPS or use a Y cable for something like the HAICOM PS2.
XDA2 512 SD
SIN MERGED
RADIO 1.8
WM2003SE
it makes com 5 visible to tomtom.

When I first had TT5 with my Fortuna ClipOn it also used to exit but not as frequently as yours - probably around once every 30 minutes > 1 hour.
Without making any changes it now seems to work perfectly, I did a 5 hour journey last week with no issues at all.
Sorry this isn't any help to you but it seems very hit and miss with the XDAIIi and TT5
I've never had any issues with zooming and have everything installed on a 1GB SanDisk Ultra II card.
When it drops out is your Bluetooth connection still active between the XDA and the Fortuna?
Thanks for the response.
The BT Connection closes at the same time as the App closes. I can them go straight back in. The longest I have had the app working was around 20 minutes
I wonder if it's worth just connecting to the ClipOn and leaving it without TomTom running to see if it drops out?
I can't see why losing the BT connection would bring TT down but when mine was playing up it was doing exactly the same, BT died along with TT.
Hi all,
Anyone using BT GPS?
If so, which one, how do you find it, and what software are you running.
Thanks Guys..
Ratzz,
I use a holux unit, coupled with Garmin Que and GPS Proxy. It only works well wih the tytn rom. I tried it with the DOPOD rom but it keeps freezing the screen.
Another note, Using the tytn rom has eliminated my alignment issues with regards to the screen.
regards
TomTom 6 & a Fortuna GPSlim.
Takes a little while to sort itself out when TomTom starts, but seems fine after a couple of minutes.
I cant use Tom Tom cause of the malaysian Map not being available
I'm using Holux GPSlim 236 with Destinator 6 when on the road and OziExplorer when roaming in nature.
yes I do
Using a Xloc and tomtom 6
Work great
Holux GPSlim 236 with Tomtom 5 (I am about to upgrade) and PTGmap for topo maps in Garmin format.
Using Destinator 6 (yep, I work in Destinator) with a large variety of BT GPS: GNS, Royaltek, Globalsat, Emtec and some others.
Do not forget that after you pair a GPS using MS BT manager, you also need to enable an outgoing portfor this connection.
I'm using Tom Tom 6 with Hamlet gps BT and it's ok!!!

I am using Iguidance with the Globsat 338 Its ok, the only problem is that if a call comes through, you have to restart the program.
Which one is the fastest and smallest SirfIII-based BT GPS unit you would suggest for TomTom?
Fortuna Clip-on for me, used with iGo on my m3100, although I have also used it with tomtom on previous pda's. Will upgrade tomtom and put that on a memory card shortly.
I'm using a Navilock BT338 GPS Mouse (SIRF3), which works perfectly together with my MDA3,MDApro and MDA Vario2 as well! I'm using it with TT5.21 for more than a year, and will upgrade to TT6 (just tested, works fine too!) soon.
The navilock keeps contact to satellites which are not seen/found by several others, can even be kept in your pocket and works without problems behind thermo-windows in cars! It is very small and is working over a whole day without loading, standby more than a week, and ist very easy to set up (connect to COM4).
i have a xda exec with crossbow i tried delorme 2005 and streets and trips from microsoft but none work does anyone know one that will work
TomTom 6 works, iGo also works, but sometimes hangs every few seconds for me.
thanks
will try

exactly the same here. TomTom 6 works flawless and iGo sometimes gets really slow (but it did that on AKU 3.5 too) and sometimes it quits. Didn't try Navigon though. Perhaps next week.
I've found the hanging on iGo to be a result of looking for an attached, either wired or otherwise, gps device. You can disable the auto searching for the gps and still use iGo for general mapping/routing. In fact its actualy very very good. Graphics wise much better than TomTom. It can be speeded up by deleting any non-UK languages/voices stored on the sd card.
