Please provide more details. What BT reciever, what version of TomTom, what operating system, what type of PDA etc.

The plug symbol in TomTom means no external power connected. As for the 'cannot find bluetooth port' error, I have had this before and a soft reset resolved matters.

The Bluetooth port error seems to happen a lot more under WM2003 I find. Sometimes you can connect fine, disconnect the BT GPS, then try and reconnect without doing anything else and it won't find a port. A soft reset for me is the only resolution, but whether it's because I have a lot of stuff loaded, or perhaps the latest TomTom GPS driver <cough, splutter> I'm not sure, but it is annoying when you have to soft reset like that.

Thanks for your replies! Its tomtom II and version 2003 pocket pc - seems to be working now, but I hae to soft reset a lot - any ideas why?

I also discovered I wasn't closing the tomtom application properly it was running in the back ground all the time so I'm sure that wouldnt have helped!!
