Ipaq 2210, TT3 and BT receiver
I have upgraded to TT3 from TT2 and loaded all the updates from HP and TomTom etc.
I am finding TT3 a clear improvement on its predecessor except for one thing:
When in use the Blutooth signal drops out at least once every minute leaving the HP without a signal. I must admit that it seems to reaquire the signal very quickly- sometimes in under 10 seconds. Other times it seems to take 30 seconds or so and then at least once on every journey of over an hour I have to reboot to get it back.
Has anyone out there got the answer to why this is happening and how I can cure it.
As I said if it wasn't for this one annoying problem i would be quite satisfied with the software notwithstanding the inexplicable ommissions from the maps like the M6TOll but thats another winge!!
Many thanks

I have been using Tomtom 3.0 happily with HP2210 and Fortuna clip-on, but decided last week to download upgrade to Tomtom 3.03. DISASTER! Losing bluetooth connection every thirty seconds or so, totally unusable. reverted back to v3.0, everything working fine again. There is a moral here somewhere; if it ain't broke, don't fix it! |

Turn off the option to display POIs. you can still navigate to them but just don't display them. Works for me _________________ Rgds,

Thanks for the advice.
If I turn of POI's won't I lose the camera database?
Does it also affect Checkpoint POI's?
I may try version 3.0
Has anyone got the files to send me please?
Thanks

Thanks for the help.
I have turned off POI's and it never drops the BT signal.
Why is that?
Any info of a not too technical nature will be warmly recieved. |

A lot of people say that it is the GPS driver at fault. persoanlly I believe it is TTN itself. For instance, TTN 3.00 with GPS 3.00, 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 does not drop bluetooth. TTN 3.01 or 3.03 with any of those versions of GPS driver will drop bluetooth. I do not think it is GPS for that reason. Could be wrong but hey I got me an opineeon :D _________________ Rgds,
