I think my (replacement) has it.
The reason I say this is that it is now registering 7 or 8 sats (sometimes 9) on a regular basis. Previously it had 4 or 5.
One thing I have noticed is that the Tom Tom 2 distances are best halved
e.g. when it says "Turn left in 200 yards", you should read it as 100! 
Not a massive flaw unless ur in a major city with roads everywhere I guess.
I am a newbie at all this though so may be wrong. |

You can tell if you have the latest firmware when you try to pair the PDA with the GPS. The updated version does not need a passkey.
There is no problem with your receiver or TomTom. The distances are from your current position to the far point of the turn, not where you actually exit. This is a feature of the map data.

Hmm can't remember but I "think" i had to passkey to pair.
Maybe it is the "old" version. The main thing is it actually works!
This morning was very poor. I could only pick up 3 satellites at first and with 3 the fix is very very weak (at least 400 yards out).
It did redeem itself eventually but not great when it tells u to go the wrong way!!
The moral of the story seems to be to ignore TT when u have less than 4 locked sats. |

Mine asks for passkey, and mine always hangs with Tomtom, so I asked Rikaline support how I could get the firmware upgrade.
I got the rather terse reply "The latest receiver does
have a pin code the information on Pocketgps is old information".
*confused* |
