HP Ipaq rz 1710 v TomTom 5

I did this not so long ago. It\'s slightly complex. You need to be on the internet. The activation code is either on a credit card or on a samllish leaflet, having typed it in, your Ipaq\'s code then appears on the iPAQ which you have to type in the website and then the website gives you a code to type in the iPAQ. Then it works! This is from memory so I may have got the order wrong - but I still have my credit card with the activation code on

Does anybody knows exactly if and how could set the tomtom5 with Ipaq RZ 1710, as the gps working?
If yes kly pls send at itdealer@rdsbv.ro

hi

im having the same problem with no gps device found?

please if anyone has the answer to get the tomtom 5 working can you help.........dont understand this at all......set baud to 19200 as suggested but still no joy:S

For me - it was a variation of the above guests idea

Went into TomTom - selected to change GPS in preferences, then chose NMEA GPS device - set the baud rate to 19200 and select ok Then finally select COM1 - done... - the crade will not show a blue light for GPS activity but TomTom should show \" no route planned \" which means its working!!!

Thanks done all that but still shows no satellites - does the unit always have to be plugged into the cigarette lighter to work?
am i missing something easy here?
thanks in advance for your help

:woohoo: at last it has managed to work, i reset the baud rate to 4800 and suddenly off she went - thanks for all your help on this now i can relax a little in the knowledge the equip isnt faulty.

Been struggling with this for a while today - a combnation of patience and changing the baud settings sorted - well done y\'all!

Cheers

I\'m trying to upgrade my Navigator 4.400 version to 5.** but am having difficulties sourcing the correct and most efficient & economical (both in storage space and £s) method. Any ideas ... PLEASE.

I also \"lose\" satellites when in my wife\'s Citreon; in my Honda I do not have much trouble at all. I read somewhere the reflective layers in the windscreen can have an effect. not sure about the solution therefore. Put the gps unit outside???
