Having read the numerous posts about the safety of Magnetic mounts none mentioned the situation I have with a Holux230 and iPAQ2210.

If the iPAQ is switched on and I place it on the holder or remove it the iPAQ is switched off and has to be restarted. This is a pain at the start of a journey when I am setting up the route etc prior to placing the iPAQ on the mount. Equally a pain when resetting routes also.

Is this supposed to happen? I havent noticed any other problems caused by this.

Is the magnetic holder "clamping" onto the actual battery area on the rear of your 2210?
i have a 3970 - which does not have a removeable battery - and have used a magnetic holder for over a year without issue.
sounds to me like you've got a slight mis-contact between battery and ipaq, and the "force" of attaching/detaching the ipaq to the magnetic holder is "triggering" a momentary break in connection......
