--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My PDA crashed the otherday and now I cannot get tom tom 2 to work correctly.

I loaded it all back from a factory restore but all that seems to happen is i get "Destination will be set when GPS signal is more reliable"

However I have a good signal with 6-9 locks on the satilites and the gps fixed light is on.

I have a sirf4800 gps with a toshiba E350 PDA. It has done this before but worked after a restore!

I use this for my work and need it asap.

Please help

are you on a road that TomTom knows or are you trying this at home?

As you appear to have communication with the GPS from your navigation software, you may find that if you leave the setup running for an hour or two with a clear view of the sky that it will lock. I have seen the kind of behaviour you describe before - it may possible relate to corrupt stored data on the GPS.

I get that problem sometimes, if you switch to Map mode (top left corner) and then switch back to Navigator then it'll pick it up
