jonathan488, I have 1 of those units, I am sending it back for a refund. It appears to use a different chipset to TomTom's own brand reciever which I'm guessing is what is causing the problems as the reciever works fine with non-tomtom GPS software. I have a reciever on order which uses the same Sirf Star 3 chipset that is found in the tomtom recievers when it arrives I'll see if it fixes the problem and I'llupdate the thread with any relevant info.
Thanks atomicpineapple, let us know what you find!
Interestingly I've found it does work with some GPS software on my Mac which is very strange.
you say it's possibly an incompatibility with TomTom? Can I ask which receiver you've gone for now?

Make sure you're using the right map. Once you've generated your key, copy the map (.mid?) back over to your memory card (from C:\\keygen) and try activating again.

I went for this unit here
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay[....]m=&item=160086352546&rd=1&rd=1
as it uses the same chipset as tomtoms's own brand reciever. I'll know if it works or not by tomorrow night.

jonathan488, Orange P990 on R7 is NOT noted for bluetooth probs, i have same as you & tomtom works perfectly with surfstar or Holox bt321 (they look almost identical, but Holox can be got of ebay for £30
it must be your GPS unit.

Thanks for the info pachy. I am gonig to send the GPS back today hopefully for a full refund.
I now have a debranded phone which is fully up to date so I can also confirm it is not a firmware problem as you say.

The bluetooth problems with GPS aren't TomTom's fault but the phone. Trying using the GPS unit with other software (eg Nav4All) and you'll see.
Not exactly sure what the problem was, but I upgraded to a SirfIII chipset and don't regret it. The coverage is soooo much better.

Well in a way the problems are TomToms fault as the other 2 GPS recievers I have tried (using Nemerix and MTK chipsets) work flawlessly with everything expect TomTom. But then TomTom only expect their software to work with their own brand reciever, so we're asking it to do something its not meant to. Anyway I have my new reciever using the Sirf Star 3 chipset and while disconnects still occur they are for a fraction of a second and so will have no effect on navigation, much better than the 30 ish seconds I'd have to wait with my other recievers, easily enough time to miss a turning in a busy urban area.
