I have followed the link but there doesn't seem to be anything there that helps. Have I missed something.

did you 'configure' the gps in tomtom? it should be set to nmea other, 5700 baud and com4 I think from memory. Don't see why it shouldn't work together

at the bottom of this link it tells you how to configure:

Installation of TomTom Navigator onto the XDA is straightforward - you need to connect the XDA Orbit to the PC using ActiveSync, then install TomTom using the setup application on the TomTom CD. Due to the amount of space needed for the maps, you'll need to install to the Micro SD card.

If you're looking for information on how to get TomTom Navigator working with your o2 XDA Orbit, the following might be of use:

After you have installed TomTom Navigator successfully, here's how to get the Orbit's built-in GPS receiver to work with TomTom

Start > Settings > 'System' tab > GPS
From the GPS settings 'Programs' tab, set the "GPS program port" to a spare COM port - COM4 works for us


Close the dialog by selecting 'Ok'
Now, open TomTom Navigator. Go to the menu, select 'Change preferences' > 'Show GPS status'. Next, press the 'Configure' button
Scroll through the predefined GPS receivers, and select ' Other NMEA GPS device'. Press 'Select'
Next, set the baud rate. The default of 4800 worked fine for us, but we also had good results with the maximum speed of 115200. Then press 'Done
Finally, set the COM port to the port selected earlier, e.g. COM4

Hi guys thanks so much for your help. I did what you said again and left it for a few minutes and it connected maybe because of it not being used before. Then again I could be wrong BUT IT WORKS NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP

Good to hear you sorted it and don't forget to run QuickGPS once a week if not set on automatic.

TomTom does not seem to use QuickGPS (for me at least).
Takes a while to get a lock in TomTom, whereas in Copilot7 it takes only seconds.
