Morning all,

I bought an IPAQ 2210 and TomTom 3 sometime ago. I had massive problems getting them to pair and nobody at the time could offer a fix, so they were shelved.

Anyway, i moved to an unfamiliar area and decided to try (about 3 years later!) to get it working.

Found a nice wee update and all seemed to work ok. However, when i enter a destination, i often find that the screen hangs after 1-10mins. If i were looking at the map screen, with eta/next direction etc, it would drop all the info and the map would feeze at a point. It'd just show speed etc as if i were not using nav (but frozen obviously).

I need to turn it off/back on/soft resest/come out of nav and go back in to get it to work again, albeit only for another 1-10 mins. I thought it might have something to do with my IPAQ screen setting for sleep etc but that doesn't seem to make a difference - but the good news is that i always get a healthy pair (fnarf fnarf).

Any ideas?

thanks, i'll try that - there's nothing else running in the background but could definitely allocate more memory to progs
