Oh, and make sure you're using TomTom 5.1 or higher. That resolves some issues the application has with windows mobile 5.

HEY PRESTO!!!! Two weeks of messing about and numerous headaches and it finally works!!! and all thanks to the help of all you fellow pda'ers!! I can't believe that changing one line in the registry makes it work. Ths line in the registry didn't even match the line under the com port 1 in the gps settings - it was completely different but took the plunge and changed it - no going back!!!!

THANK YOU AND THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

Nicky

In a similar vein - I have a bluetooth gps (globalsat 338) which I have managed to get X51v to read but I seem to have to re-configure the gps with tomtom everytime I open the programme, is there some way of permanently configuring it. (I also used the gobbledygook serial port option and it works fine) Its just a little irritating to have to configure everytime I turn the programme on.

Thanks anyone..........

1. What operating system are you using? (eg. WM5 or WM2003SE)
2. What version of TomTom5 are you using? (latest is 5.21)

I have x50v running WM5 with globalsat 338 - no problems here. Answer the above first and we'll see what we can do

Thanks for the reply.

I think I may have been suffering from impatience due to previous failures and just assuming there was a problem as I have had so many already Confused It may just have been due to the receiver not having picked up as quickly as I thought it would and tomtom acknowledging it slowly and consequently saying there was no gps. I'm hoping I just threw my teddy in the corner too soon.

However, I'm operating on WM5 and tomtom 5.21

Thank you - appreciated
