alright guys?

i have tom tom 5 with the latest 5.10 update and a bluetooth gps system. using great britain map. the bt gps connects via com 5 and i pick up things no problems. i'm driving along the road for about 3-6 minutes before it crashes back to the today screen.

i thought it may have been some kind of compatabily issue so i done a hard reset and done a clean install. same again.

i have a 80x 512 Sd card and the latest rom updates.

i've been searching through pages and pages on previous post for tips all to no avail.

any help on this would b greatly recieved before i crash my car trying to reset this program! :roll:

Thanks in advance

Try changing the POI file on the folderīs map by a older one like from the v.3

I hear actually buying the software cures this problem.

Or using the search function.

Funny, cos doing a search on "TomTom crash" gives me a few threads dealing with this subject. One which I previously answered, in fact.
