If its on pregnantly you have more than a problem with the receiver. A Freudian slip? |

But this is the whole problem the green light stays permanently on in the mornings (I don't get any fixes) & then in the afternoon it does flash every few seconds (I get about 7-8 fixes).
Hence the title of this topic "Tom Tom wired does not work in the mornings?" |

But if as you say you have fix in the afternoon, when you reach home you should still have a green flashing led. if you are leaving it powered up overnight and it has a full view of the sky it should still be flashing green the following morning. Mine does.
If I park over night in the under ground car park the GPS will change to flashing red as it cant receive a fix and will still be flashing red in the morning but change to flashing green when I come out into the open. It never goes to the green being permanently on and I have had mine for 2 years now.
The led will either flash red when searching for a fix or flash green when it has one.

We might be getting somewhere now, my led has never flashed red. When I arrive home you are correct in that my LED is still flashing green, yet when I get into my car in the morning it is a constant green light. I'm not parking underground or obscuring the signal in anyway.
Does this mean my device is faulty as it has never flashed red when it can't get a fix. I thought the constant green light was normal!!
In light of this can you recommend me a bluetooth GPS, I've been looking at the TT5 & the BT-338.
Thanks. |

It's certainly not behaving as it should, I would suspect it's on the way out.
Just looked out the window and I can see mine still flashing green from when I parked the car yesterday afternoon with power still on the reciever and my XDA II sat in the cradle up stairs connected to the PC.

Not having used a BT reciever, I would check the forums to see what others are using with your make of PDA without any problems.

Just to update on the situation with my Wired TT. After thinking it was on it's way out I bought a BT-338 (WOW) but decided to leave my Wired plugged in all the time to see if anything happened.
Guess what......it works.  I decided to try it a week later & I got a fix within 10secs (in the morning) & it never lost them all day.
The only problem I've got now is that I don't need it anymore 
So if anyone is having the same problems, just try leaving it plugged in non-stop to see if it cures it. |

Hi
I had this exact problem with a 2210 IPAQ and TT3, when I updated TT3 to latest version it corrected itself and worked fine...
Now I got a 4150 I got other problems :O( |
