Guest mandinga Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'm after some help please. I got some problems using the Orange SPV C500, I can't seem to get tomtom to recognise my GPS receiver. I've also tried a friend's GPS receiver and I seem to have the same problem with that. I'm running: Version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.5.6.0) I've tried to install the Orange Rom upgrades but everytime I try to install them the phone goes to the bootloader screen and the installation fails. I was hoping the rom upgrades would solve my tomtom problems. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? PS. I can connect to the device in the B/Tooth settings, and it works on another phone.

Guest mandinga Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Unfortunately I don't have a tom tom receiver. I can't get my C500 to work on two different kinds of gps receiver, so it doesn't appear to be a fault with the receiver. If I thought a tom tom reciever would solve the problem I would consider selling mine and buying one but I want to be sure that's the issue before I go down that road.

But tomtom mobile 5 does work and can be used with non tomtom gps units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Miniman99 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Further above you state that its TomTom 4 "I'm running: Version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.5.6.0)" TomTom 4 will not work with the latest Orange ROM was only sold with the dedicated TomTom GPS. TomTom 5 will work with the latest Orange ROM and you can use other GPS units with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
