 Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2006 7:06 pm Post subject: worried about TomTom Stealing my BT com port again |
 |
|
Have just managed to get anquet topo mapping working using a BT 74S and an IPAQ 4150. Took ages and eventually had to resort to hard reset. It seems tomtom steals the BT/com port and this is at the cause of the problem - it had hold of it pretty tight! However, I now need to install tomtom again (V5) and don't want to go through the aggro of all this again. can anyone suggest a strategy that might not let tomtom get hold of it permanently? I have a wired tomtom receiver in the car for when I am using tom tom.
TIA

I thought this was a problem with the TTN 3 only. Are you saying that TTN5 is doing that as well? |

I am pretty sure TT 5 was the culprit. I am just wondering whether to install GPS driver v 2.06 before installing tomtom and hoping it doesn't overwrite as I understand later GPS driver are more aggressive in their hanging on to the com port.

again, I think you are referring to TT3, not TT5 |

nope, i have TT5 but now you mention it, it was an upgrade from TT3 so could the BT probe be a hangover from that?

Do you still have TomTom GPS in your "Programs"? If yes you probably still have the proverbial drivers for TT3 hanging about. If I were you I would just get the latest TTN5 version from TT website and do a clean install after removing any traces of the previous TT installations. |
