I've got TT working fine. You need to select
Other Cable NMEA GPS
I've got my baud rate set at max (115200) - works fine
Now select GPS ON NAVAGATOR

Once this is done, soft reset your Acer and wait for it to come back to life.

Now stand outside, flip open the antenna and start-up tomtom.

Once this is running click on the signal strength bar (bottom right) now the same bar (top right) this takes you to a similar screen as in D3.

In the top right corner you should see a small blue and yellow circle spinning. This indicates it's looking for satelites. (it takes a while on the first attempt but speeds up on subsequent attempts)
If the circle isn't spinning do a soft reset and sart again.

This should fix all problems whereby it can't get a fix, but remember tobe patient as it takes a few minutes on the first attempt.
