Hiya

Just got my 720T, lovely looking bit of kit but i have some issues which i hope you can help me with.

1. It would seem that i can only get a connection to my N95 if i have hands free calling on. As soon as i untick the Hands Free box, it disconnects from phone which means i cant use the data side for Traffic or any other TOMTOM Plus thing.

Any ideas ?

2. In the help me menu, there is a drive to and walk to help button which brings up various options. Nearest Car Repair Servs and nearest hospital is fine, but the other 4 options want to take me to France or somewhere as my nearest place !!! There must be a setting i am missing somewhere !!!!!

I am in the UK by the way !!

A word of warning, anyone thinking of buying the T version of the 720, just dont bother, the aerial is nothing short of a disgrace. I travelled from Bracknel in Berkshire upto Middlesbrough and back today and it was for the most part searching for a radio station. I was using main roads and motorways so there is no excuse really. I had the aerial spread out all ove rthe window in various positions and still no improvement.
As a test, i had my dads navman with the traffic device and external aerial in the same car and that never lost contact with any station !!!

Thx for any help

paul

If you use the Search button (above) and enter something like "help nearest", making sure you select the 'all terms' option and the TomTom GO/Rider/One forum, you'll find several threads about this, including one linking to some files you can download from TomTom which give a partial fix.

Hi,

I've just tested turning hand free calling off on my tomtom720, and while on the n95 it turns the hands free connection off and says tomtom has disconnected, the data link still remains and lets me use the weather and traffic options. When you turn it off you should still have the packet data symbol showing as active on the phone, and the bluetooth symbol with the brackets around it showing as active.

My n95 is running on the latest firmware provided by nokia and my mobile provider three.
