TomTom Unusable on WM6 ?

[w4tcher]

Hi there I recently upgraded my blue angel to WM6, And ever since TomTom Navigator 6 has been running so slow its unusable. Every time I press anything I have to wait between 40-60 secs before it executes the press. Everything else apart from TOMTOM runs fine and zippy. Is there a patch or tweak to give me the speed back.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have tried both Tomtom 5 and Tomtom 6 on thisd WM6 ROM and have no problems at all. It runs very fast. The problem is with your machine.

Just one tip: TomTom is really shitty app and sometimes have such odd delays because of searching for GPS. Turn GPS function off (offline mode or whatever is the name) or connect the GPS before starting TT. It helps. This is the only aplication I know that has this king of problem.

On WM5, the solution to TomTom slow down was to make sure the phone radio was turned on before launching TomTom. For some reason Tomtom freezes up if you start it when the phone radio is off.

Have exactly the same problem, but my phone is always turned one. Maybe someone got some more ideas?

Very late arrival to this thread, but just wanted to say a big thanks to Fredrick_Fredrickson for that advice, which works great - had the slow/unusable Tomtom bug across different versions of TT Navigator and on different roms - just turned the phone radio on and it suddenly works perfectly. So glad I found this thread!

I had similar issues with tomtom after upgrading to wm6.1, make sure your beam is turned off which should help, as it uses one od the avaliable com ports, My problem resolved by moving on to a different version of TomTom as the one i had was just so glitchy when BA was running on battery power,
