Nokia 7710 will only work with a genuine Tom Tom receiver.

After all the hassle trying to get 'another' gps receiver to work with my 7710 I have given up and bought a new Tom Tom receiver, turned it on, fix in about 10 seconds, 6 satellite indoors, 10 outdoors, Tom Tom worked immediately.
Anyone trying to get 'other' receiver to work give it up and buy a proper Tom Tom receiver, I got it for about £99 from Handtec ( link on site )who price matched global positioning systems.
My Tom Tom program is the genuine version and the only reason I did not have the genuine tom tom receiver in the first place was because my relative kept the receiver for his new phone when I got the 7710 from him and after reading the reviews that stated that any gps receiver could be used with tom tom 5 I went ahead and bought a BT77 type receiver which works great with my friends 6600 but not with the 7710!!!!
Luckily the guy I got the other receiver from has offered to give me my money back as it has not been used.
