Guest Chunky Monkey Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I used Tomtom for the first time on sunday, the problem being that in '3D' view (the one with the scrolling display) it crashes. (I'm not surprised - it is running Microsoft OS :) ) it just dumps you out to the today screen. This was fun for the first couple of times, but soom became a pain in the arse, esp when I had to keep stopping to put the postcode back in. This was one of the main reasons I got the M500 & I became so peed off I lobbed the phone onto the back seat & resorted back to the old pocket map & AA directions. (I very nearly didn't bother picking them up!!) By the time I had arrived at my destination I had calmed down, dug the phone out again & rest it up for the return trip, only this time I set tomtom not to display the scrolling map & just show the static direction arrows, & it worked fine & never crashed once. Its not ideal as I found some junctions are ontop of another & the 3D map makes this much cleaerer. Someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Sounds like memory allocation was a bit on the low side. Perhaps you had a few to many things working in the background as well? Try a soft reset then run TomTom again and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chunky Monkey Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hiya, have no idea on the rom side, you'll have to talk me through that one. I'm running tomtom navigator: App Version 5.000 (4890) GPS driver: V1.20 Map: GB-Map V562 I have the new maps to go in V602 I think, I also have a 1Gb Kingston card installed too, so it should have plenty of room.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Try the 5.2 update that is available from TomTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr_Blonde1971 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have this same problem, but always in the same place on the map. If I go north from my house the software crashes, east west and south it is fine. I think there may be "glitches" in the maps? Have been told that the 5.2 software update will cure it.

Guest Chunky Monkey Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 hi sorry for the delay, I tried yo clear the phones memory, under running programs but the same happens. It does it at any point on the map & only when in the scrolling 3D map view, in the static arrow view it is fine. I ham currently downloading Navigator 5.21 from Tomtom which I'm lead to believe is the updated version?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
