TomTom 6 very slow on MDA PRO

[schmia]

Hello,

I just bought a MDA Pro and tried today TomTom 6 with my new device.
Why is it so slow?? It has a 520MHz pocessor but it is even slower than my previous qtek 9100 @200MHz??
I have all the POI's turned off but that doesn't help.

Can someone please help me out here?

My Device info:

ROM: 2.50.00 WWE
Radio: 0.00.00 (sim unlocked)
Protocol: 42.37.P8

Regards,

Schmia

TomTom is for sale in Holland, so your stupid comment is useless.
Norway is way behind! He he he ;-))

I have it in UK too. Screen refresh is about twice per second. What are you seeing?

I'm running on O2 Exec with a BT77 GPS.

Cheers,

Mine's just the same. Two frames per second in landscape mode.
In portrait mode it's a little bit better but not fast.
I'm using a tomtom bluetooth Sirf III reciever

WTF. I am awake......LOL.....I even checked tt's website

But yes, Norway is waaaaaay behind

[alix776]

are you sure mine is running fine much smoother than tt5 even in landscape

if your using a cracked version this could be the problem

hi, using tt6 on my mda pro without any issues..it is prefect. i would not say it it slow by any means..it is much better the tt5 - just the lack of rotation within the tt's menu is a minus...but u cannot have everything, can you ?:P

Well, not having used TT5, I wouldn't know, but TT6 is great. 1st time with GPS device and realy love it. Easy to install and use on Exec. I'm using with a Holux GPSlim 236 and its great

How the hell have you all got TT6 working?

I read on TT's site that its not SPVM5000 compatible (Not listed on the devices)

I have had TT5.21 working sweet as a nut on the M5000, with BT GPS (Model: FGPXBT02)!

Scrathing my head on this one - TT6 installs, loads, even allows me to configure home address, configure GPS device and navigate to all the menus, but it will not find the bloody GPS receiver.

How come?? when it worked fine on TT5.21??? Surely TT have not removed generic bluetooth support?

If someone has a generic bluetooth GPS receive working with TT6 I would be grateful if you told me how! - Dont want to have to go back to using 5.21 (even though it looks like the only solution!)

Cheers.

Ever tried TomTom 5? On my Magician TomTom 6 is slower than TomTom 5, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1026668#post1026668

I have now successfully implemented TomTom V6 on an Orange SPVM5000.

After trying all sorts of stuff, including iGo2006 to chech the GPS was working, I hard reset the M5000 and re-installed TomTom V6 ... This still did not work... AAARRRGGGHHH

Searching through the forums I discovered that the 'NO GPS DEVICE' was common through all versions of TOM TOM and a solution was presented by a fellow user.

It turns out that TOM TOM (Any version) does not work unless you have the phone switched on (Smartphone versions only).

Out with the old simcard (defunct, just being used to stop the phone whinging about 'INSERT SIM') and in with a new PAYG from orange (not gonna use it for phoning as I have a BLACKBERRY, just using the M5000 as satnav and wireless PDA - have hands free car kit installed and did not want to remove it!!! :D)

Voila - the bloody thing works now - finds the GPS Device, finds the satellites and navigates the routes.

oooo - seems quicker than 5.21, and the maps look smarter - but thats about it. The maps dont seem to have been updated as our new build house number is still not on there, and the old properties have been demolished 18 months!!!! oh well - at least i have sat nav in the car again!!!


Lessons to be learned from this!!! - Don't disable the phone - lmao

Cheers!!!!

TT6 works very fine on my Universal. BT GPS and Contacts Navigation works without any problems. Redraw speed is awesome when compared to TT5.2 (at least with my configuration), although it is still less responsive than TT5.2 on a Magician.

The map for Germany is quite up to date as far as I can check.
