GPS port is set to COM4 by default.
I hope that this helps.

I can get iGuidance 3.0 to recognize it on COM 4 with the automatic GPS management turned on... HOWEVER, the GPS positions are not recieved and it cannot get a fix.
Tom Tom works okay, but I'd rather use iGuidance.

Adam, when in TT tap the sat strength meter, when the unit is displaying the sat strength/ status page is it giving the individual sat numbers and signal strength? I apreciate this app is working I just want an answer to that question before trying the next idea - Mike

Yes, the GPS Status page in the included TomTom software does show the sat numbers/signal strength in addition to their relative location.

When starting TomTom at first it says "No GPS detected" then after a couple seconds it says "Waiting for a valid GPS signal.." I'm not sure if that means there's something hard coded into this TomTom versions that actually turns the GPS receiver on.

What's your next idea?

I live in Colorado and received my P3300 yesterday. I can't seem to download my free map for some reason. When I get into PIE from the TomTom app, and select the state and press Next I get the following error message pop up:

“The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78.”

Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? I love this device outside of this issue.

Not for iGuidance v3.0 it doesn't work. What program did you get it to work with?

That happened to me with the New York maps, but then I tried again an hour or so later, and it worked.

I wish I could get it to work; I've tried countless times in the past 48 hours with no luck when choosing any state in the US. Same error message.

I am running Navigon 5 with success, but the app is slow overall. Anyone get Mapopolis to run on this device? I tried yesterday with COM 4; it was trying hard to get a fix, but it wouldn't go for me with the latest version.
