Rikaline Bluetooth GPS

[Filler]

I have been using my wired tomtom gps for a while, and have decided to go mobile, by using a Rikaline slimline bluetooth GPS reciever, with TT3 and my ipaq 2210.

http://www.rikaline-uk.co.uk/navigation/rikaline.html

However every 10 minutes or so, i lose GPS signal, and have to go into the GPS status screen and turn the gps off then on in the tick box.

the gps then communicates perfectly for about 10 minutes then the same again,

I have paired the units, charged the batteries, checked every bluetooth setting possible, but it still happens.

However sat here looking through the forums, it has been connected for 30 minutes with 6 sats and no problems.

anyone any ideas.

Are you using SD memory for your maps? The reason for asking is that many people have found the combination of iPAQ h2210, TomTom Navigator 3, SD memory for the maps and a Bluetooth GPS unstable. Change any one of those things, and the instability tends to disappear.

For example, I use TomTom Navigator 3, SD memory for the maps, a Bluetooth GPS and an iPAQ hx4700.


Probably the easiest thing is to put your maps on a CompactFlash card. I can't guarantee that it will solve the problem, but it seems to have helped many people.

By the way, you'd inadvertently managed to post the same message twice - I deleted the duplicate.

It might help if you put the TomTom Navigator application in main memory - you can only experiment.

I'd start by moving the map to your CompactFlash card; you can see if that makes things stable.
