Hi

First post so please be gentle Wink

I`m just trying to set up a H2210 with TomTom 3 wired GPS.

I`ve loaded all the software and maps but i can`t get the GPS receiver to give a signal.

All that the display is showing is "GPS Disabled" the green light is flashing on the receiver and occasionally it stays on for about 1-2 seconds then carries on flashing, Its been doing this for well over an hour.

Do i have to do anything else to activate the GPS receiver or is it something else i`m not doing ?

Thanks for your time

Cheers, Carl

Welcome
Try moving the GPS Receiver outside of the car and see if the green light stays on contsant. You may have a UV coated windscreen.

Also make sure that when you tap the Navigator screen, go into the GPS screen on the SETUP tab that you have TomTom Navigator GPS selected with COM1.

Hi Dave

Thanks for the welcome and reply.

I will try moving the GPS receiver tomorrow as i`ve put the car in the garage for tonight Rolling Eyes

It won`t let me into the GPS screen at the moment as when i try a box pops up saying "Unable to launch GPS control pad" ? I guess thats due to the "GPS disabled" message ?

Cheers

I have the same setup and it worked straight out of the box.

I've not bothered with the car mounting kit yet - I just stuff it all in the junk compartment behind the handbrake and get a good signal from it.

Thanks for the replies, I`ll try again tonight.

Another question, When you install the software on your PDA did it install a launch bar on the main/front page ?

Cheers
