have you tried it outside? that is the message that TomTom shoves out when it can get no signal as well as when it can't find a GPS device.

If you have then here's what I would recommend. Go to Settings>System>GPS and see what port is being used in there and make sure that marries up to what TomTom thinks. Install google maps www.google.com/gmm (I think) and see if that can get a fix. If GM gets a fix then you know the problem is TomTom settings. These are set by the GPS settings snap-in in Settings>System, as above.

That should help, I hope.

But obviously you will be deleting toTom as you cannot legally buy TomTom with a device - the licence cannot be sold wink.gif
