tomtom5 no ports

[denviks]

hi all. im having problems here. i loaded tomtom5 on to my xda. its was working for a while but seems to have just stopped. i have a wired unit in place but tomtom is just saying no gps device found. it gets stranger. i have a satalite programe to check to see how many sats it can find. but that wont let me connect to any ports on the xda,. its just says the port is being used, how do i free a port up to use or find out whats using the ports......please help as im pulling my hair out here :wink:

Maybe the standard solution that has pointed out several times here in the forum and is also available on the TomTom Support FAQ.....

Have you disabled beam?
If not, do so, that is blocking normaly the COM 1

think i may have found the problem. just dont know how to solve it. i am running on radio version 4.21.00 at the moment and i have the beam turned off. my gps device is now being picked up by the unit but i am still not getting a valid gps signal. when i try and configure the unit i get 3 staalites but it still says " no vaild gps signal." can you suggetst anything i can try. any help would be brilliant

many thanks

This Problem has nothing to do with the ROM or the Radio.
It´s a problem of your GPS-System.
Have you tried a different location of your GPS Receiver?
Not 100% sure, but i thougt that 3 sattelites are not good, but should be enough to navigate....
In my car i have most time 7 satellites available....
