|
|
Sorry if this has been covered before but a search was fruitless.
The issue is, if I am running Tomtom 5.2 on my TMobile Vario and walking with it in my pocket listening to the instructions, it is unavoidable to unintentionally activate the menus of Tomtom. I cannot find a way to disable the touch sensitive screen to eliminate this problem within the application or Winbows Mobile 5. If I return to the "today" screen and lock the device no further instructions are heard from Tomtom. Is there something I am missing or is there a workround.
Thanks. |

you can use the Media Player for that.
Run TomTom, start your navigation etc, then start Media Player (via a hardware key) and then toggle the screen (via another hardware key). This will disablke the screen but keep the navigation instructions running. _________________ Lutz

And just to keep it going
better still buy a DELL AXIM X51v which has a "mechanical sliding" switch which disables ALL buttons and Touch Screen functions - absolutely brilliant for this sort of use. _________________ Phil |
