Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 6:30 pm Post subject: TomTom Navigator 5 Bluetooth .... slow?? |
|
|
Hi
I am not sure if I have a problem or whether its normal
I have recently purchased an HP Ipaq HX4700 which I am really pleased with and I am running Tom Tom Navigator 5 Bluetooth.
What I find is that despite having a full signal strength, the display seems to be a little bit behind to where I actually am on the road. At the moment I am still driving around roads which I know, but later in the week I am driving up to Wolverhampton so I want to make sure I dont miss any turnings?
Do I have a problem or is this normal?
Also I have one roundabout near me and it tells me to go around the wrong way.... oops!
Thanks in advanced :-) |

it's not a Bluetooth issue. TomTom just got slower with 5.1 - which is a shame since previous versions were very precise in displaying the current position. _________________ Lutz

Thanks for such a speedy response
Guess progress isn't always so good
At least I don't have a problem as such
Hopefully they will sort out this little problem 8O |

Do you still have problems if you disable the display of (external) POIs? I have found a big slowdown if you have lots of POIs set to be visible. With just the default supplied POIs plus speed cameras, I find that on a motorway I'm getting 3-4 updates per second, and the point of the arrow represents where I am precisely on my Toshiba E800.
Cheers,
Steve. |

I haven't noticed that 5.0 slower for me (using a 2215) - seems the same. I'm using the TT GPS that came with TT4 USA. Or is 5.1 noticably slower than 5.0? Since I started with TT4, TT5 seems like a nice upgrade, though I am still a bit disappointed with the number and quality of the POIs, and there are still significant roads missing from the maps. It does a better job in the countryside than TT4, however, though still tends to send us down some dodgy roads. |

I think I just have the standard that TomTom sets up, plus of course the Camera warnings, but I will check and see
Thanks |

TT5 runs okay on my Ipaq 2210 and BT338, not slow at all and never lags. The programme certainly likes some equipment better than others. _________________ Tomtom Go 720.

Do you mean 5.1 is slower than 5.0? Is this a general problem with all PDAs or just your experience? I've got an XDAiis with 5.0 and have held off upgrading. I'd rather have the keyboard problem than a GPS signal I cant rely on. |

Well I have set my alerts to just petrol stations (visual not audio) and safety cameras and it hasn't made any difference
I would think that the original TT5 SD card would be sufficently quick wouldn't you ![Question](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_question.gif) |
