Every time I want to check a map or a path using my tom tom 3 on my pda without connecting the antenna, I have to follow this annoying procedure:
1) click on tomtom icon on my pda
2) the tom tom tries to look for my antenna and I have to deny this for two times
3) finally I can use it in "offline" mode

This is really annoying and tonight I discovered that a friend of mine does not suffer this minor problem on his Dell X50.
So, is there a particular setting ????
Thanks a lot

I have been using TT3 blue tooth. I had the same problem once. The reason is if there is not a GPS receiver configured on the GPS page of Tomtom you will always have this problem. If you want to use TT now I think it won't work. Because GPS antenna is not configured yet. Once you configure it you can use TT without having this problem.

Uhm thanks but that's not the problem. My tomtom works great with my RBT-1000 Royaltek so...
Last night I looked for the solution on google and found it there. I had to add an entry in the registry of my Pocket PC. Thanks to this new registry key, I can now use tom tom online or offline (unconnected to any antenna).
Thanks anyway

What was the Registry key you had to add?

Using a registry editor such as taskal regedit which is free...

you go on:

-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-----SOFTWARE
----------Widcomm
-------------BtConfig
---------------AutoConnect

Once there select the folder related to the com port your gps is using
then go on Edit/New DWORD value
use this name: "BtBrowserEnabled" and as value (DWORD Data) put 0 (zero).
Tap OK.
It will create a new key.

Open tomtom and everything will be fine.


Hope it helps

You're welcome. This modification is easy and works very well. I use my navigator quite often and needed it.
Bye
