Tomtom and 3G connection

[cvrle1]

Is there a way to set my Diamond to turn on the 3G connection when I use Tomtom? It turns on when I go into IE and Opera, but when i go to Tomtom it doesn't activate.

Thanks for the help

as far as I know, you dont need 3g or any internet connection for that matter when using TomTom. As long as you have TomTom and the proper maps installed, you can just get all the data you need via your internal GPS reciever.

Ive been connecting to 8-14 gps satellites with the nodata cab installed and all toggled to off, as well as schap's advanced config tool with all network settings to off.

im using 3g connection to get traffic update,you cant receive it with the internal gps receiver!
just try to do traffic update and be sure that the settings are correct ,wap or something instead of your isp

Tnanks for the replies. I could be wrong here and totally off my rocker, but I thought that I get faster signal lock when I have 3G on.

Again, could be way off and I was just seeing things.

djcedric is right about the traffic update. Cvrle1, as far as i know, you are wrong about the faster signal lock. If you use the QuickGPS app via 3G or wifi or whatever data connection you use, it downloads the newest satellite data to your phone, giving a very fast signal lock. After I have the QuickGPS settings it takes me about 1-3 seconds to find all the satellites.

Note that the quickGPS settings are only valid for a week, when it expires you have to run QuickGPS again, otherwise it takes considerably longer to find the satellites.

Hope this helps.
