Problem with TT3 Bluetooth GPS

I have a problem with my bluetooth receiver, I am unable to lock onto a position.

If I go to the GPS screen through TT3 or via setting on my pda, I can see communication between the device & the pda as well as the bars indicating the signal strength for the acquired sattelites, however the bars remain grey & it will not give me a lat / long position hence I am unable to use tom tom.

I have tried reinstalling the gps driver but this makes no difference.

Has anyone experienced this problem - if so any ideas on how to fix it ??

it might help if you try to locate your present location on the tomtom map, tap and hold, select more... then reset gps for this location.

I have tried it in the car & outside, it clearly picks up the satelites it just does not seem to be able to work out a position.

The unit has worked fine for 12 months +, I had not used it for about 6 wks & have come to use it again only to find this problem.

drain the battery totally then then fully recharge it and see if that does anything

Reseting gps to my current position on the map seems to have done the trick !!

It now gives me a position !

Tomtom had said my unit was faulty & that I would need to send it back at a cost of upto 50 euro for repair.
I was convinced it was not faulty as it showed both a signal & communication.

I will see how it goes & post if the problem repeats.

Many thaks for all the input it could have saved me a few quid!!

:D :D
