No, TTN6 requires at least WM2003; it will not run on a PPC2002 device. I have the same problem with my iPAQ3970.

Thank's for the quick answer, if I upgrade to OS PPC 2003 is the processor good enough? what do you think |

As to whether it's any good, speedwise, I'm afraid I have no idea. I understand from others that a PPC 2002 device upgraded to WM 2003 will work, though. I changed my 3850 for a 3970 a few years ago to get the faster processor as I found the 206MHz processor a bit sluggish.

Well, I upgraded my Compaq 3870 to WM2003 and it works faster and better than tt3 or tt5 did when running the original operating system. I have not tried it with a bluetooth GPS but it is very good with a Holux Sirf 3 wired gps receiver. I used to have a lag in the navigation when coming up to road turnings and junctions but not anymore now I have TT6. The processor is therefore in my estimation quite fast enough to handle TT6.

How do you get an upgrade to WM2003 for the iPaq?
Thanks
