Hi,

I have been using a Magellan 315 GPS device with a PC-Mobile BTA01 BT adapter communicating with an iPAQ 5555 running Memory Map 2004.

This works well until the Magellan loses a fix for any reason – even on top of the Brecon Beacons! – and I find that the iPAQ shows a Communication Timeout. This means that if I am looking where I am going, or at the scenery, instead of at the system, I frequently find that I have lost the Track when I want to refer to it and I am frequently having to stop and switch everything off and back on again. This does not make for pleasant trekking and tracking. The link between the iPAQ and the BTA01 is still maintained.

Is it normal behaviour for the Magellan to completely stop transmitting when it loses the fix and is there any way in which the timeout can be disabled, either at the GPS end or at the iPAQ end?

Is it a normal function of all GPS units? – would it also happen if I were to buy, for example, a Fortuna Clip-On?

Thank you
