TomTom Navigator 6 GPS not detected in Treo680

Hi,
I had a sudden issue with the TomTom Navigator6 detecting the GPS. I always get the "No GPS device" when I start the GPS in 680Treo. I even reset to the factory settings and went thru the entire setting and formating the secure SD card and installing the software frm DVD/CD to the SD card but no help....

Has this been the case since you started using it or have you installed other programs about the time this issue started? If the later then uninstall that program and see if the issue clears up. If so thee programs were conflicting with each other.

I'm not sure about the 680, but there's a known similar issue on the Treo Pro. You need something to start the GPS before TomTom will see it.

Interesting. My GTP needs it & I've seen threads indicating I'm not alone in that.

Most of the time. For instance, I'm at my desk at home, right next to a window. After 3 minutes, TomTom couldn't find a sat. Running GPSToday did, After that, TomTom worked fine. There are threads elsewhere that indicate I'm far from alone in this experience.
