Mio P350 + TomTom Nav 5.201

[NickMio]

I have just purchased the P350 & TTN 5.201 and I can't get it to work. I get the message 'no GPS device' I am not sure what com settings to use as the Mio manual is useless & I don't have one for the TomTom.

Having searched various forums I think there may be some incompatibility with the TTN 5.201 so I tried to download 5.21. This wouldnt work as I couldn't activate the download as it appears that my device code has changed and my old code is registered with TomTom & cannot be changed.

Any ideas? Firstly for the correct settings and secondly how to load the TTN 5.21?

Thanks,

Nick

Where did you buy the TomTom software from? simply upgrading the application should work fine negating the need to enter codes etc - Mike

I bought the Mio & TomTom from 'h@ndtec' but I hadnt been able to get any response from them. However they have just replied with the settings for the TomTom. Also they say that I can upgrade TomTom after 14 days. I am not sure why the time period is significant.

I will see if the settings work & then I will post the outcome.

That does not sound correct the licence for TomTom allows a single activation when you get it, then a second activation on a different device 14 days later, as this is the same device there is something wrong.

I would not accept having to use an activation simply to update the software application - I would contact the supplier again - Mike

I am pleased to say that the settings given to me worked, and I have just driven around the block to test everything out.

If anyone else needs the settings & instructions they are:

With TomTom running, bring up menu by tapping screen & select
Change preferences-more-more-more-Show GPS status

(settings)

:Other Cable NMEA
:GPS Baud rate 4800
:GPS_COM

GPS signal came up in about 4 minutes (West London)


As to the TomTom upgrade I am not too bothered about that now as everything seems to be working. I will try again in 14 days.
