Hi

It's been a while since I've tinkered with the satnav set up on my pda.

I took the cheapo upgrade offered by tom tom from 3 to 5 and all went well.

Would an upgrade from 5 to 6 go as smoothly? The TT website didn't mention the old 2210 on the list. I use a royaltek saphire gps thingybob which is a wired device.

At the moment I only use the CF slot on the 2210, can TT6 be copied over to a CF card?

And finaly, do you have to use the tom tom speed camera poi files or can I continue to use the pocketgps files?

Hello Nighthawk,

I received my copy of TT6 from easydevices yesterday.

As per advice from Privateer, I locked the SD card it came on, and copied everything to my hard disk, then back to a 512MB CF card. It was about 300MB in total.

Popped the CF card into my h2210, the install came up straight away. It works, it feels a tiny bit more sluggish than TT5. I am using it with a wired GPS receiver (BT-355) and its good. It works!

You can turn off TomTom's speedcam and use pocket gps speedcams which is exactly what I'm doing.

All i saved from my previous TomTom config where my personal POIs..instead of using My faves, i saved them into a POI file and copied that and its bmp to the new card.

Oh, i did a hard reset before installing TT6 to start from afresh.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply m8

I'll check out easydevices for their prices too Smile

When you say it's sluggish, how much has it slowed?

I'm also using a wired GPS.

Hi Nighthawk

Its slowed a fair bit... its still usable, but definitely slower than TTN5..screen refreshes arent as smooth, you can tell the 2210 is struggling. I've turned of all POI's apart from the pocket gps speedcams, petrol pumps, airports and railstations..probably don't need those last three anyway.

I already had to purchase the gps, and now TTN6.. i'm thinking if I need a new PDA now, I may have well just gone with my original plan of getting a Go 510 Embarassed

To Privateer, how do you find the combo of the H2210 and TTN6 performance wise?

I'm wondering whether perhaps TomTom have left it off their compatibility list for a good reason, or maybe a future update will address the speed issues, and support for older PDAs?

I wonder if privateer will comment on this?

What size card do you use in the 2210 deep 6 ?

I don't have any POI except the speedcams on.

His sig says not to email or PM him, so we should probably respect that! Wink

Nighthawk, TomTom 6 is running off of a 512MB compact flash card. There is also a256MB card installed to the SD card socket since is misplaced the little plastic cover for the 2210 Embarassed

Hi alix776, I tried running with just the CF card, but its still the same sluggish performance. Seems to update the screen about once a second. Makes me wish I had tried Route 66. I would have like to have seen it in action with this I-GPS stuff.

Anyhoo, sound files also skip a little with my setup. When I get directions, it plays, skips and then continue, if I tell it to repeat the spoken instructions it plays fine. This also happens with POI warnings (using polite 3) for speedcams.

Suppose I shouldn't complain too much since my PDA is unsupported ;-)

Hi nighthawk and Deep-6,

I have two identical hardware setups, one runs TomTom Navigator 5 and the other runs TomTom Navigator 6. I haven’t got them with me at the moment so I can’t tell you the exact versions. The hardware setups are:

HP iPAQ h2210 (WM2003)
Kingston 1024MB CF card
GlobalSat BT-338 Bluetooth GPS receiver

When I first got my hands on Navigator 6 I ran both systems together. Most of the time the voice (and screen) instructions were in unison, the only times they were out of sync was when the map data was different.

Give me a few days and I’ll set them both up again and retry the experiment.

Much appreciated! Thumbs Up
Unfortunately I am rarely able to switch on the PC during weekends anymore.

Could you tell me what the version and build number of TomTom Navigator 6 that you are using?

Regards,

Hello Privateer,

Thanks for responding. I'll get the build number shortly.. but I was thinking, apart from moving up a version from TomTom 5 to 6, the one thing I did change was from using a Panasonic SD card to a Danelec CF card. There's a lof of map data to be pulled off, the SD card was rated pretty fast when I bought it a couple of years ago, but I've had the CF card for over 3 years in use in a Canon cam. It never needed to be particularly fast and I'm not sure that it is.

Does the speed of the card make a lot of difference? I'm sure I read it does. If so, I will probably be looking to buy a bigger and faster SD card then and see if it makes a difference.

I will post build details very shortly.

Cheers.

Ok, App version is 6.010 (7720)
GPS Driver v1.20
Map is GB plus Major Roads of WE v652.1204

TomTom is running off of a 512MB Dane-Elec CF card (+3yrs old) ...can't find any specs on dane-elec's site about it..

There is also a Panasonic 256MB SD card in the PDA at all times.. I believe read spead for that is 2MB per second, too small sadly for TomTom 6

2210 running ROM 1.10

GPS is a GlobalSat wired BR-355 mouse

Oh, and as of this morning, I am running CheckPOI 6, with the flickering problem.

Hope this helps.

Hi Privateer, did you manage to get your 2210s up and running?

Well!! I have been using my mates 2210 with a Kingston 1GB Cf card (Toshiba,was listed as being Hitachi so they must stick Kingston lables on what they have got in stock)
.£ 16inc posting from Valueflash for nearly a week and apart from not being able to customize the road speeds ( not as good a routes as TTN3.03) I can't fault it.. TTN6 V6.000 (7370).. Gps driver 1.2.. Map GB + MR of Europe..V650.1046.
