I also have this problems and regularly have to pull over and exit, restart, exit restart, disconnect power, reconnect power, softreset x3 etc etc until the damn thing works again Crying or Very sad

I cannot find a cure at all. Anyone else close to a solution yet?!

The problem seems to be with the TT3 software as I had no issues at all with TT2 and I am still using the same GPS, PSU, etc.

On the Axim X3, TT3 starts ok but after what appears to be a random time, the application just locks up and a soft reboot is the only way out. This then works fine for another short period of time. Loading back TT2 everything works continuously just fine.

On the 16th June, I logged an e-mail with TomTom over this issue but so far it just has a status 'unresolved'.

Should I send another e-mail to TomTom with a link to this page?

the processor on the x3 can be scaled down to conserve power maybe that could be you problem but still think its a sd card prob
it might be an idea to check the processor speed incase its been scales back by initiating the power save fetures

OK, I'm using a Toshiba E750 Bluetooth model with the TomTom bluetooth GPS and TomTom Navigator 3.02 software, I did a complete cold reset and formated both SD cards I own, then did a fresh Install to the PDA and onto the cards.
I am in the UK and travel all over it since I am a service engineer, but my home location is Wolverhampton.
Current maps are on an Integral 256MB SD card.

I have received the following response to an email sent to TomTom Support. I have not yet tried the suggested fix.

TomTom Support Response received 29.06.04:

I Would suggest that you download and install the latest update 3.03

If you have Traffic installed DO NOT INSTALL this, instead install the 3.04T

www.tomtom.com Support/FAQs Update June 2004 - TomTom Navigator 3.03 - Pocket PC

Perform a soft reset of the PDA.Go to Start/Settings REMOVE PROGRAMS and REMOVE the TOMTOM GPS'
then make another soft reset and install the 3.03

With best regards,

Hi Folks,

I purchased TomTom2 January last and a Dell Axim X3 and Haicom 420S. All has worked perfectly until I upgraded TomTom to version 3.

Although the system works, the Axim pocket pc locks up after about an hour of running TomTom3. I can only reset the device to get it to work again.

If I put back TomTom2, everything works fine again with no problems.

I have checked your FAQs and this does not appear to be a regular issue. Any suggestions please?

Many thanks

Had the same problem with my 3970 and also a 3950. Solved the problem by installing GPS driver 2.08 and since then I haven't had one screen freeze. The Ipaqs run pocket pc 2002.

Hope this helps

Since upgrading to TT3.03 and TT GPS3.03 I now have screen freeze after about 30 minutes with my Navman BT and XDAII (drawing in-car power), making in-car satnav virtually impossible. I have a 512MB Japanese SD card which seems to work faultlessly.

Has any one else experienced a similar problem or can offer a solution?

Thanks in anticipation,

Phil
