Hi all,
i'm using tomtom 5.21 and a SOCKET bluetooth GPS receiver.
http://www.socketcom.com/pdf/gps/GP0820-521_ds.pdf
i've tried using it a few times as i just got it running up last week and it seems that tom tom's constantly saying that its losing gps signal or waiting for GPS signal.
its getting so annoying that i seem to realize that its not tracking your position down whenever u're moving. Park the vahicle for 30 seconds or 1 min and it tracks u down, move faster, stop for a roundabout for your turn in traffis and its lost its gps signal again.
i guess if one day i'm depending on this unit to save my life i'd be dead if it performs this way.
i'm also wondering if its because of the weather (rainy/cloudy day when i was using it) or is it because this unit is crap (was given to me FOC from a computer technicnan at work unused) and not SIRFIII and is not working accurately and deserved to be eBayed or binned.
comments welcome..
