C'est bon..merci. Still only have the 4 GPS selections though...I don't see an 'internal' one ! (And I did a soft reset.)

What version of software does the device think it is running? tap the sat strength meter and it should report version 6,030

This software should offer five selections:

Built In GPS Receiver
TomTom Bluetooth GPS
TomTom Wired GPS
Other Bluetooth
Other NMEA

It is possible the install has failed if the unit is still reporting 6,010 if this is the case use the remove software option to get rid of the earlier version from the unit, then run the CAB file installer again on the device to install the newer application (if you set the CAB to read only it will still be available on the device, if you didn't do this simply copy it to the PPC Phone again) - Mike

Hmm....certainly a whole lot faster...TT seems to kick in round about 10/20 seconds now...proof will be tomorrow morning when it's a 'cold start.'
Version is now showing 6.030 (8320). I'll try what you suggest to see if I can get the 'internal' option to show up...strange

For those interested, 6Gb micro card works just fine in this device.
However, reinstalled TT6.03 (8320) twice now, and there's definitely no 'internal gps device'....just the standard four options. I just chose 'Other NMEA device' which seems to work OK. Not sure that the device is quite as sensitive as my Holux....picks up within 10 seconds or so, but satellites seem a bit on the weak side..mind you, I am in my study...should be better in the car I guess.

Perfect...full strength outside...amazing device.

Just got back from the Middle and South of Spain....Vario absolutely faultless...picked up satellites every time within seconds...great not to have to rely on the Holux in the back of the car. By the way, would you call this device a Pocket PC or Windows Mobile ? (for when downloading programs.)

It is a Pocket PC device, even though it is running Windows Mobile software for the OS, for software make sure you get PPC based software for it - Mike

I've just taken delivery of an MDA Vario 111 & a sandisk 6GB card which is recognised by the Vario 111.

I have a few challenges:

1. Tom Tom Home does not see my card. so I can't install any maps.

2. I tried installing 6.03, but it was rejected as not being a supported device. (6.01 is on the device after tom tom support emailed it to me)

3. Tom Tom state that the Vario 111 is not supported, but the HTC Kaiser is. Is there any difference?

4. I use a mac.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mike

I can only say that I followed Mike Alders advice and all is 100% fine. TT Home sees the card OK... I downloaded 6.03 following Mikes link, all OK, and I even took a chance with the registry so I can now see the lat and long. And TT works a dream....just off to the South of France with it.

oh how I hate home. it has crashed on me several times now. 6.03 now installed, but still on"internal gps" to select.

I have reinstalled 6.03 about 4 times now with the same result. I'm not sure what 'remove programs' does, other than removing the today plug in and other shortcuts, as the folder 'Navigator' was not removed, so I removed it manually.

instead to get the gps signals I have selected 'other nmea' & baud rate as Mike suggests @ 9600.

It does seem weak compared to my Go720 & not as many satellites & they are changing constantly. Weird.

Home stiill crashing on my mac.

Hi,
I've just taken delivery of my new shiny T-Mobile MDA Vario III, and also a copy of Navigator 6. My question is, I already have a TomTom 910 and am using Home on my PC already. Will the MDA be recognised by my existing copy of Home, and will it cause any conflicts with the 910 ?.

regards
Steve

PS. I will backup everything before I attempt anything. Wink

Hi MikeProcter,
Many thanks for your advice. I've now got my Vario III running 6.03 a treat, and even get a sat lock in the living room !. I did have to set the GPS manually as both yourself and FrequentFlyer.
Using TTHome can be a pain as we all know, but it seems to work easier for me if I put my microSD card in a card reader, and Home sees that as my phone ( downloaded 6.03 this way, first time ).
Now's time to try ang get the PGPS speed cams on and working, wish me luck Smile

cheers
Steve
