Installing TTM on C500

snorkel9 · Occasional Visitor Joined: Jan 12, 2005 Posts: 2

I've brought and installed TOMTOM Mobile on my Orange c500. I have also downloaded and installed the traffic patch. It all seems to set up and connect OK (Solid blue light on the GPS unit) but I get a message on the screen saying the GPS signal was lost n.nn mins ago. Any suggestions?

The solid blue light means you have a BT connection between the C500 and the GPS receiver . This is good, but what you also need is a blinking green light that indicates a GPS fix.

Give the receiver some good sky view and see if you get that green blinking light.

Desperately looking for any help, as TOMTOM don't want to know me. I have successfully copied the contents from the packaged SD to my Mini SD and installed the Patch from (Link removed by PocketGPSworld team member) but I don't get a constant blue light from the TomTom GPS receiver to indicate a connection. I have also rebooted several times. On the brink of giving up.... Any help will be much appreciated. Harj

I have a similar problem. I have got a C500 phone. I have also just bought the TomTom Mobile kit to run with it. Before I started out I had read 2 separate reviews on the net saying how easy it was to run Tom tom on the C500. I have copied the software onto a minidisk and that has worked fine but try as I might I cannot get the phone and the GPS unit to talk to each other. I have gone through the instructions in the phone manual about pairing with a bluetooth device and I seem to have done this. The phone says the the GPS fix was lost xx mins ago. I have a flashing blue light on the GPS unit which (I think) shows that there is no Bluetooth link to the phone. I also have a flashing green light showing (I think) that it has a GPS fix - but won't tell anyone what it is.

I have spoken to Tomtom who didn't want to know. So much for customer care!

There is obviously a trick to getting this going - does anyone know what it is?

The trick is to follow the instructions in the CoPilot Smartphone forum...

Its working!!! Install the patch onto the card and not the phone when the installation directory is asked for. The phone will then request a reboot and once rebooted all should be well.

Have fun.
