Hi all.
I have an Acer N35 which came with Destinator 3. This worked fine but I got TTN5 as it has full postcode search. However, since installing TTN5, I have experienced a few difficulties.
1) Intermittently, but frustratingly, TTN5 switches itself off. I saw a subject on the forum which made a suggestion that it was to do with the POI file & said to turn off the POI'S other than traffic cameras. Another poster said he has a possible resolution & emailed me a patch. Unfortunatly, neither method seemed to work.
2) With D3, both in my work's van & my own car it would get a lock on the sattelite's with few problems. With TTN5, it is fine in my car so far, but in my van it is far less successful. I had the baud rate at, if I remember, 57600 which is was I used for D3. I have had a little play with the rate but this seems to make very little difference. A work collegue suggested it might be something to do with the windscreen, but why does it work ok on D3 on the same PDA which has a built in GPS receiver in the same vehicle?
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated as I have now reverted back to D3 for now. _________________ Best wishes.

1) try moving your programs to storage card to free up RAM
2) TTN5 stupidly will reinitialise the receiver when it is not getting a fix quick enough. Try having the receiver running for a while before you start TTN5
Generally speaking your GPS receiver is not supported by TTN5 _________________ Lutz

I shall try both methods, Lutz. Thanks for that. Mind you, on that last line you wrote, the Acer N35 is, I was informed by someone better informed than myself, is compatable with TTN5. Oh well, can't win them all. _________________ Best wishes.

I'm not saying it doesn't work (I know it does) - I am saying TomTom do not support it. _________________ Lutz

By the way, have you any idea what the baud rate should ideally be? _________________ Best wishes.

4800, and if that fails, 9600 _________________ Lutz
