I would like to help other people out there wishing to use TomTom Mobile v5.20 on an WM5 device to solve a problem which prevents using any kind of external GPS unit (beside the TomTom one).
Should you need to connect a thirdy party GPS device to your WM5 device using TomTom, please note that the name of the BT device (upon recognition), should be modified to contain the letters " GPS" at the end of the name, if this is not yet provided by the device name itself.
I had to google around very long to be able to find this trick, but it seems it only appears on WM5 devices (I had not such problem on a WM2003 SE device...).
Hope this helps someone with more GPS units as I am.
Ciao
