Hi all.

I have an Acer N35 which came with Destinator 3. This worked fine but I got TTN5 as it has full postcode search. However, since installing TTN5, I have experienced a few difficulties.

1) Intermittently, but frustratingly, TTN5 switches itself off. I saw a subject on the forum which made a suggestion that it was to do with the POI file & said to turn off the POI'S other than traffic cameras. Another poster said he has a possible resolution & emailed me a patch. Unfortunatly, neither method seemed to work.

2) With D3, both in my work's van & my own car it would get a lock on the sattelite's with few problems. With TTN5, it is fine in my car so far, but in my van it is far less successful. I had the baud rate at, if I remember, 57600 which is was I used for D3. I have had a little play with the rate but this seems to make very little difference. A work collegue suggested it might be something to do with the windscreen, but why does it work ok on D3 on the same PDA which has a built in GPS receiver in the same vehicle?

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated as I have now reverted back to D3 for now.

1) try moving your programs to storage card to free up RAM

2) TTN5 stupidly will reinitialise the receiver when it is not getting a fix quick enough. Try having the receiver running for a while before you start TTN5

Generally speaking your GPS receiver is not supported by TTN5

I'm not saying it doesn't work (I know it does) - I am saying TomTom do not support it.

By the way, have you any idea what the baud rate should ideally be?

4800, and if that fails, 9600
