Is it tomtom 3 or 5
in tomtom what com settings have you selected?

THe 1940 will be com 5 or 8 dependant on what Rom Version and what updates you have installed.

Especially I use Automapa ( plish program ) TOM TOM 5.01 i installed only to test it with this device - especially I don't use this software.

So - i heard some facts about problems with this GPS - maybe sometonhg wrong with hardware in this GR-230 ? Or how i can test/check with software that all is ok ?

I use other GPS Holux 236 SLIM and Loox 720 and 1940 works perfect

Only problem is with this GR-230 Sad

i have installed tomtom 5 on PDA's and it works fine. Have a look at

http://www.totalpda.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3330

Click on tomtom navigator
Tap on the screen and select Change Preferences (big spanner)
tap the black triangle until it says Preferences 4 of 6
Select Configure
This is the stupid part Select "other cable NMEA GPS" yeah thats right CABLED
GPS Baud Rate 4800 and select DONE
Select the correct bluetooth port, if you cannot see the number tap and hold and then you will see what number.

You will notice a small orange and black circle at the top right this will start to spin if you are connected to the GPS if it does not spin then soft reset the PDA and try again.

Edited due to customer feedback

if it still fails and you are going from 3-5 then try below.

Process:
- uninstall Nav 5
- Reinstall Nav 3
- Install 3.07 patch (if not already installed as above)
- Remove TomTom Navigator ONLY from the remove programs list.
- Reinstall Nav 5
- Run Navigator, go to GPS setup and, for me at least, use tomtom bluetooth selection.
