I have TomTom loaded and it works fine with the GPS receiver only problem is the backlight switch's off so it is vry difficult to see the screen. As soon as you exit TomTom the backlight works.
Has anyone any ideas?

TOMTOM 5 Problems with Magician

Hi, Im strarting this topic as Ive got a problem with my tomtom 5 and I wondered if anyone was having the same or could help me out :lol: If anyone else is having issues they could post on this topic so we can bring all the advice and questions in one place.
Ok my problem, I had loads of issues with the bluetooth connection these now seem to be solved, now when I am using tomtom and either in a route or not the programme just closes for no reason it just goes back to the today screen. Ive reinstalled, hard reset and soft reset ... soft reset seems to work a bit but it still does it.
PLEASE can anyone give me any advice or are you having the same issues as me? one thing I have noted is that everytime I reload without doing a soft reset the tomtom Icon at the bottom moves slightly to the left next to the bluetooth icon.
Hope to hear soon
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem as you, it sometimes works fine, then does the same as you. from what i have read its a software fault due to the device having a vga screen or something and from what i have read it can also be dwon to tt5 using all the memory on the device then crashing out etc. Maybe they will relase a fix for it soon?.
CHeers, Were did you read this can you post the link ? I have nothihing in my programs on the pocket pc and it still does it... ! looks like they've got an issue with there software ....
Hi Guys,
I have been having excactly same problem. Initially i had a lot of problems with bluetooth. Seems to have been sorted out, god knows how.
But out of no reason TomTom exits and brings me to today screen. If i click TomTom icon again it starts and exits in 1-2 min. Only if i do a soft reset that it works a bit longer.
I am using qtek 1.11 rom.
Hope someone can come up with a solution.
Cheers,
Vishal
The problem is with the POI file. That is a comun problem. You have to take the POI.dat file from a tomtom 3 map and put ir in the map dir in TT5. All working perfect now. The only problem is that it isnt so recent and dont have the phone option. But now works
Wait for a better crack to come out. Or buy it.

Windows mobile 2005 and tom tom backlight issue

Hi,
Can anybody help me, i upgraded my xda II to WM2005 and installed TOMTOM 5 but now whenever i run TOMTOM the backlight switches off. As a workaround i can change the backlight settings with TOMTOM running, but this is a bit of a pain as you have to do it everytime.
Thanks for any help

Raphael is not supported by Navigon. For now I used a portsplitter (Franson GPSgate). settings: Input com4, active output: GPSgate direct. Start navigon and use GPS wizzard manuel. After this it works.
By a soft reset you have to do it again. It seems somewhere in november Navigon comes with a update for the Raphael.
thanks a lot!! dude,
anybody heard about when NAVIGON comes with an update for Rafael???
so i dont need the gpsgate!!
Navigon mn7 works for Raphael.
You might also have to make sure aGPS is turned off, sometimes that's makes these GPS apps act up.
I have to say that i have used Navigon 6.5 and 7 without any problems.
I did however have 2 problems small problems after installing:
1. When i tried to start it up that i would only see a white screen, but this was solved by reinstalling.
2. When installing on a ROMeOS custom rom Navigon could not find a gps receiver. This was solved by a patch that ROMeOS made.
Hope it works for you because i personally love navigon
