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?

Before the standalone units really came on I had a Dell Axim running TT3 and had similar probs

Only way I could get around it was shifting the available memory to be used more for programs than services and not running anything else other than TT. Dont know if thats still something you can do, my PDA days are long gone once I discovered Blackberry

Might work though smile

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

Sounds like your ipaq has a fault. Unless it can run other programs flawlessly.

Try removing it and reloading, it may have become corrupt. Tomtom 5 is better. You don't need to enter the 'from' address, only the destination. Works brill on the 2210.

Move to CF and the problem will probably disappear.

No idea on the upgrade, sorry.
