NAVMAN GPS3400 AND TOMTOM 5 GPS Signal Problems

[markie76]

Hi,

I have a NAVMAN GPS3400 Sleeve, IPAQ 3630 & TOMTOM 5. I find that getting a signal lock can take 30-50 minutes. In TOMTOM 3 this was working fine, signal lock in 3-5 minutes. If I run a program such as GPS Info then it gets a lock in around 60 seconds. Only TTN 5 is the problem.

I believe the problem is in the 'compulsory' GPS driver which is installed by TTN 5.

Can someone please advise how to install TTN 5 with driver version 2.06 (Tomtom 3), I understand this can be achieved by installing from .cab file and with a bit of tweaking.

Your help is much appreciated.

There's not much you can do here. Contrary to popular belief the old 2.06 driver has no influence at all.

The important part is to allow the jacket ample time to get a fix BEFORE you start TTN5.

If TTN5 connects to a receiver that doesn't have a fix it gets impatient quickly and does a cold reset to the receiver - a devastating mistake with those older jackets that take ages to reload the base tables.
