Can anyone help me with what the gps setting should be for this handheld as i cannot get the tom tom software to locate any sattelites, it says no valid gps signal. Any help would be very much appreciated

Settings are OTHER CABLE DEVICE, then baud rate of 57600 then GPS ON NAVIGATOR. I have found on mine that sometimes I then have to do a soft reset then enter tomtom again to make it search for the satellites. You will see a little circle in the top right hand side of the screen, this will start to rotate if u have the correct settings. Be aware that it can take minutes for it to lock onto satellites. I have purchased an external aerial for mine from ebay and its much better at finding and keeping a lock onto satellites whislt driving.

You also have to configure the correct com port that the internal GPS use.
I do not have a n35 so do not know what it is. On Mio168 clone it is com 2.

According to N35 manual, GPS settings are:
Other Cable Device, 9600bps on COM8:

I have tried sengadog's settings and they work. However, need to soft reset every time N35 is turned on. Don't know whether settings have anything to do with this.
