Another GPS related question? Switching to GPS status menu under TTn2 and de-selecting the check box enables you to change the options. In the middle block you have what looks like a PDA screen and a slide bar next to it, if you have it to the left it displays what looks like a load of Z’s and if you change it to the right, what looks like tomtom logo. Next to it is a speaker and underneath the world map.

What do the sliders do and what options do they change, is there an ultimate setting.


Some feedback on the Fortuna BT Clip on, I have it on my desk in XT mode atleast 3 meters away from the window and it has 7 sat locks. On the open road in ST it averages between 4 and 9. Initial reviews very good, but not had anything to compare it against. Maybe Dave will review it soon.

Cheers all, thanks for the help and now I’m not lost!!

If you put the slider to "ZZzz" then the PocketPC will go to Standby mode according to your power settings even though TomTom is running. If set to the other side, TomTom will prevent the PocketPC from entering Standby.

The speaker is pretty much self explanatory. You can either get TomTom Voice commands or not. This does not affect the other sounds your PocketPC may want to make from time to time. Beware though that the same is not true for the reverse - If your PocketPC sound settings are not allowing any sounds to play then no matter what you set with this switch you won't get any sound.

The speaker control in the GPS status has a different function: you can choose whether or not the program gives a sound signale "when the GPS has proper coverage" (quote from the reference manual found on the Tomtom CD which also explains the other controls on the GPS status screen!)

The settings for Voice commands & sound are found in the Tomtom configuration menus
