GPS Receivers

[tortoise]

I own a wired tom tom gps receiver used with a pda. I move this from vehicle to vehicle as necessary. On some vehicles the cigar lighter doesn't work. If i bought a 'self' powered gps receiver, could i switch between both of them easily. Would tom tom automatically recognise which one was in use when it was switched on. Thanks.

In short no, TomTom would have to be "told" which GPS to use as one comunicates via Bluetooth, the other from the serial port, - its a simple configuration change to flick between the two different device though, a few seconds when required - Mike

Thanks for the reply. Could someone tell me how to switch between receivers please. The only time i saw anything about which receiver was wanted was when installing Tom Tom. Where is it in the menu. Thanks

Tap the screen select Change Preferences then use the next page arrow to go to page four (assuming its an un-modified menu) the GPS icon will be top Left of this page show GPS Status, click this icon then press the Configure button - Mike
