Tomtom Nav 5 + Ipaq 2210 getting too hot

[stu14t]

I have been travelling across the country this week and have had a few crashes with TT5.

I understand that TT5 is extremely demanding on the processor and with my ipaq 2210 in the windscreen and in direct sunlight, there has been quite a few seizes.

I have managed to cure this by moving my device to just in front of the air vent and let the aircon cool it and by using a program called XCPUscaler by Immersoft to slow the processor down from 400 MHz to 300MHz.. There is no noticeable impairment to performance and now no more program crashes.

On my h4150 I have had it complain about being too hot only once so far. I had turned the backlight right up and had it mounted on the windscreen so it was in direct sunlight (on a pretty hot day). Once I had turned the backlight down it was fine again.

I have mine sat on an air vent mounting kit and with the air con on, I worry about it getting too cold......
