Well after a very unhappy honeymoon with my BT Navigator 2 & while waiting for the seemingly similarly complex & inadequate V3 upgrade, my 'trusty' :lol: BT GPS receiver has died, charging light works docked or directly connected but no GPS light or any hint of a signal being received!
Don't buy this rubbish! You have been warned! :twisted: :evil:
Much poorer & still lost in Europe and having to fall back on MS Autoroute! :x

Sorry to hear the bad news.

Please let all of us know what the resolution is.

My GPS receiver has now been repaired & returned but the version 3 which we were promised would arrive in April has not materialised.
(Hello, TomTom! It's May! or did they mean April 2005?) :wink: HoHum, I'm still relying on £39.00 MS Autoroute to find the route to put into my £500+ TomTom! Duh! :roll:

I have found TomTom software and hardware to be very reliable and now that version 3 is available has become a real bargain. Except for a few discrepancies in mapping which has nothing to do with TomTOM as they use 3rd party maps, I think it is a near perfect system.

Hey Cruisin', don't know if you have ever tried 'Cruisin Thru' up to five countries a day but with TomTom it's been a nightmare! I have just installed the upgrade to mk3 (no mean feat either as it wouldn't accept the new maps <still on 8 CDs :x >) and have got 2 big trans continental trips coming up starting next week. So the truth will soon be out there! watch this space! 8)
