Navigator 6 Lock Ups

chipfork · Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2006 5:00 pm Post subject: Navigator 6 Lock Ups

I'm using: iPAQ HX4700 - ROM 2.01.05, WM2005 (5.1.70), TTNAV 6 MWE, Holux GPSlim 236. (Not sure how to check the TTNAV version, it's version 6 with the Western European Maps as shipped from TomTom).

The same build was running Navigator 5 for a considerable time without any problems. Recently I've had a couple of lock ups generally near the end of a long journey (2 hrs+), TomTom/the PDA will completely freeze and resetting the PDA is the only option available. On a recent trip it froze 3 teams, the first less than an hour in.

Anyone else had any problems, does anyone have any suggestions (preferably not reverting to v5). Smile

Hi
Have you used the samre memory card. I had a similar problem with TomTom 5 on an XDAII. The cause of this seemed to be a slow SD card. I changed to a 133x one and never had any more problems. I have upgraded to Tom Tom 6 with no problems - my longest journey so far has been about 1 1/2 hours.

It's the same memory card, a 150x card, fine on Navigator 5. A bit of an intermittent problem, 2.5 hour trip home yesterday and it didn't skip a beat.

I found with my HX4700 set up I got lock ups if the 1Gb SD card I use was formatted as FAT32 - I reformatted it as FAT and it hasn't locked up since.

Worth a try.
