GOT A CRACK MAP FILE AND THEN ACTIVED IT.
HOWEVER WHEN I RUN IT,THE ''GPS DISABLED''
I CAN NOT TRACK MY CURRENT LOCATION!
HOW CAN I FIX IT UP?

DO I NEED A EXTRA GPS RECEIVER?
I THOUGHT THE XDA lls ALREADY GOT A ONE, ISN'T IT?

Nope, you'll need an external GPS receiver
Maybe you mistook GPRS for GPS ?
and : NO NEED TO SHOUT !

You have the right program, you are lacking hardware, namely a gps receiver.

The cheapest place that I found is on ebay www.ebay.co.uk

Tom Tom woes

I got my Tom Tom software and BT GPS reciever yesterday.
I installed it and it just ground my XDA2 to a halt. I uninstalled and the XDA2 was back to normal.
My XDA2i arrived today (at last) so I installed the Tom Tom on that (I'm selling the XDA2 if anyones interested).
Problem is I can't now register the Tom Tom to work with my XDA2i. Tom Tom say that the licence is for only one device at a time. This is what I want but they can't release the activation.
I can't believe that they expect customers to buy a new version of Tom Tom when they upgrade devices.
How can I get around this?
I have other software (like Dreamweaver for example) that allows me to to 'park' the activation so I can install on another computer.
Any help will be appreciated.

Car Mount for Exec held open with keyboard and charging

I would ideally like a car mount that holds the exec with it in landscape mode opened up so the keyboard could be used and if not, at least holding it in landscape mode. In both cases it would need to allow it to be charged so I can use it with bluetooth GPS system.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Cheers,
Roger

according to good reliable source, Brodit are issuing a cradle in the next few weeks, both active and passive.

Tomtom has run in Landscape mode for the past 2 versions Tomtom USA 2004 ( aka 4.4 ) and TomTom 5.
Check in Settings, last page, smiley face. Its indepandent of the current OS setting.

yeah thanks for that, just must be an issue with 5.1 on the exec, it runs then looses itself on occaisons, we need the update from tomtom for WM5 I guess......

The thing I was interested in in 5.1 was the increased support for GPS devices so Im running 5.0 with the 5.1 GPS cab file. The program runs fine but ive yet to pair it to my BT Gps reciever as its currently 4000 miles away! :lol:
Ill wait for Tomtom 5.WM5 to upgrade further as its working for me ( so far )

Tom Tom + GPS Reciver for TYTN

Hi,
Thinking about getting a TYTN and never had GPS navigation before so a bit of a noob. Whats the best kit to get, I would need the software and a GPS reciever so whats best to get.
I have found this - http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=142&xSec=8
Or is a bluetooth GPS receiver better? - http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=154&xSec=8
If its agains the rules to link to those websites I will delete them.

If you get the TomTom software then get the TomTom receiver as well because it will work right out of the box. Setting up non-TomTom satellite receivers in TomTom is a real pain in the backside.

I had absolutely no problems setting up TomTom with Holux GPSlim236.
Just pair the gpsreceiver with the phone and assing it a com port,
then select the correct port in TomTom. Works like a charm.
TomTom will even enable blutooth by itself.

Holux GPSlim 236
Also using the Holux without any problems. Small device with good battery lifetime and fast fix. Buy a small GPS so you don't have to leave it in your car. Thieves like them now everyone is taking his mobile out and radios tend to be build in by the car manufacturer.
Also take a look at i-Go software instead of TomTom. More maps available for East Europe and many nice features. Very fast on a TyTN! Can be installed from SD card.
Or look out for the SD version of TT5. It's always handy to be able to install a fresh version from the SD card after a PDA crash when there is no PC near. All other versions need Activesync to install, which you probably won't habe able to do on a holiday trip!

and in tomtom i got internal gps selected.
please help.
greats antonius
Edit: got 1 signal now but still no connection and map only 17 is gray and standing out.

Try newer Version of TomTom. The last Version working for the Artemis is TomTom 6.032.8351. On the HTC Support Page you can find TomTom 6.032.8320 under the P3600 Section.
Regards
Jabami

works for me, try 'other nmea receiver', 9600 baud rate, and com4
hope it helps

Ive used all sorts of roms including the now official Tmob uk one and never had probs. I always use tomtom 6.0.30 from HTC's website. I use an external bluetooth GPS (as its wired into the car) and also the Build in GPS all without problems.
When in doubt, get the stylus out (and had reset)
