TomTom - GPS lock problem
Discussion
Anyone had any trouble with these?
I've just set one up on an IPaq with Tomtom5 and the Tomtom supplied GPS thingy. SW all loads, but the GPS won't get a sattelite lock. The IPaq says "waiting for satellite lock" or similar.
It has a light on the side that turns green when it's switched on and flashes when it acquires three satellites. It's never flashed, so I suspect it's the GPS unit. I've taken it in a filed in the middle of nowhere and it's been for an eighty mile drive, still with no luck.
Anyone know how to test these or got a support number for Tomtom? They are not replying very quickly to tech suport e-mails (Over 24 hours now!)

Podie. 
Bit easy to forget this forum is here 
Still not fixed to the best of my knowledge, but the thing I was concerned about was the green light. never mind getting into the complexities of the SW for a minute, that should flash when it acquires a lock. It stays solid green. To me, it's a HW fault. Should it acquire a lock with nothing plugged into it?
