Im' trying to install tomtom on a c500. I've copied the files and It seems to connect OK (permanent blue light) but I get a message saying there is no gps connection.

Any suggestions

Have you installed the TT Traffic update. C500 wont work unless you do.

It won't work with 3rd party GPS receivers he means.
It SHOULD work with the original TomTom receiver.

Which GPS receiver do you have?

Desperately looking for any help, as TOMTOM don't want to know me. I have successfully copied the contents from the packaged SD to my Mini SD and installed the Patch from support.tomtom.com/traffic/software/ttm_sp.zip but I don't get a constant blue light from the TomTom GPS receiver to indicate a connection. I have also rebooted several times. On the brink of giving up.... Any help will be much appreciated. Harj

After 30 secs or so you should here a beep and see the BT LED go steady. The above applies to the TomTom BT GPS.

Its WORKING!!!! Well basically all you need to do is install the patch onto the storage card and not to the C500.

Ah yes, indeed that is a good point and not actually edxplained in the installation instructions. When you run the Traffic Installer thehandset prompts you for the install location.

Although the TomTom application is located on the storage card it's far from obvious that you need to select 'Storage Card' as the install location. If you don't do this no error message is displayed but the update is not applied and you won't get any further with running TT Mobile on the C500.
