M25 J21a problem?

Hi, I have been experimenting with friends PDA running TT5 not connected to a GPS. Running a demo route from Essex to Wareham Dorset UK I am routed via the M25 north as I would expect. All runs well until the demo reaches junction 21a at this point the demo stops dead and either locks the Ipaq 4700 or simply shuts down TT5.

My question is, has any one used this rout either for real or via a demo and noticed the same problem.

I am about to purchase this software but if there are problems on major routes I will have to think twice.

I look forward to your comments.

Thanks.

Thank you for the replies, I did run a shorter route passing through J21a and it still stopped.

No problem though as I am reconsidering using TTN5 or any other GPS as they all seem to be very poor. Shades of Microsoft?

in my experiance tom tom 5 does shut down
normally when you get to the same locations

it does not seem to matter if you drive there
or view it on the map

example try and view

CR0 0 (Croydon) UK
Wickham Road
anywhere
if you get chance try and zoom in and out
before it shuts down

or
CR0 0 (Croydon) UK
Worcester Close
anywhere
then try and zoom in and out
mine then shuts its self down

im interested to know how may other peoples tt5
shuts down at the same location

I like TT5 & TT3 as far as Sat Nav goes

only problem i get was it shutting down

but now i think i have solved that all going well

Simply by turning off the POI's that come preinstalled in TT5

try your demo with all POI's turned off in Manage POI

if all works well try it again with Some POI's turned on that you require
if it fails to work remove some till it works trial and error

you can d/l replacement POI's from other sites on the web so no real hardship unless its an error in TT5 and not the POI's data base

it should not be to hard to test
if filling station shuts down TT5 then save a location or fav place filling station in TT5 and try and view on map or navigate there
if TT5 shuts down then TT5 software error if it works fine then error was in POI data base

out of interest did you have Parking Garage & filling stations POI's switched on / enabled

as mine only now seems to shut down with these enabled
