Has anyone had a problem with their GPS disconnecting after a minute or 2 in TomTom?
I have a QStarz Bluetooth GPS that I just brought on eBay and TomTom can see it fine and it locks and gets satellites but after a while it will say "No GPS Deice!" in the GPS Status window and the signal and connection to the GPS will go.
.....
I'm having the same problem with Qstarz 818 unit. Continuous bluetooth disconnects. Anyone found a solution to this or returning the product is the only option?
btw, anyone got Globalsat 359 working flawlessly with P990 and TomTom? How about some of you share the receiver you got working with P990?

Returning the unit seems to be the only solution, see previous posts for recievers which do and do not work. The Holox BT-321 seems to be a favourite.

^^ well, i wouldnt want to spend money on imposters even if some people have had a good experience with their devices. Overall, I think there are enough complaints about them in other forums.
I am particularly inclined towards Globalsat 359 and Hol
ux 240... although I believe Holux 240 with its small antenna might not be ideal for pedestrian use.
Anyone here has experience with either of the devices and P990?

Hi all,
As mentioned by others the Holox BT-321 is an excellent product and uses the RFMD chip set which has faster acquisition times than Sirf 111 chip sets and will also get a fix on the satellite's indoors it is 36 Satellite able so to some degree is future proofed. It also has a 100hrs battery life and can even be charged in car using a Motorola mini usb charger and can now be found ob E-bay for around £30 odd a lot less than i paid a long time ago now.

100 hours? Mine says 12 hours??
Also, you can find mini USB car chargers for about £5 on eBay which will work just as well as a branded Motorola one (just to let you know
)

for anybody interested, i got my Holox BT-321 from;
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/FUTURE-TRENDS
watch for the ones in 'auction format' not buy it now'
generally go for between £15 - £25, rather than £30,
got mine for £17, then with postage, postal insurance, and (tho i dont totally agree with it) the £3 priority service charge, just over the £29.99 buy it now price.
