Hi there

I'll try to help but I'm a relative newbie as well.

First check Tom Tom blue light is flashing and als that the green light flashes occassionally. I uderstand that the geeen light flashes as the GPS receiver gets a fix from a satellite.

Now make sure that Bluetooth is up and running on the XDA.

Now two ways to do the same thing.

In Tom Tom get to a map display. From the menu at the bottom select File, GPS Status.

You shoud get a GPS screen showing postiton etc. If this is all greyed select second tab and ensure that box at top left hand corner has a tick, if not touch it with stylus until a tick appears.

Other way is to go to Start menu, settings, GPS Status and do as above. You get to the same place but in two diferent ways.

I assume you are using the Tom Tom Bluetooth GPS receiver?

I have found this a little flaky at timesand sometimes a soft boot fixes these type of problems.

HTH
Regards

It would help to know which GPS Receiver you have here. Not being able to launch the GPS Control panel suggests a re-install of the GPS Driver may be in order, insert the install CD and follow the prompts to re-install.

Have you disabled 'receive all incoming beams' in Start | Settings - Connections/Beam ? If not you'll need to do so to allow access to COM1 on the XDA.

Hi there

I'll bow out now and leave you in Darren's tender hands. I'm sure he will be able to get you up and running.
