n70 & tomtom mobile 5

[russellis]

Hi !

I am new to this so please be nice !

I have just ordered a new nokia n70 (it is coming tomorrow !), I want to purchase TomTom Mobile 5 sat nav package, however i have just called TomTom and they say that the software is not compatible with the n70 ??

However people on this forum seem to be running this !

Is this just TomTom being cautious?

Is it worth buying now or waiting till TomTom say it's compatible ?

One of the main reasons I got the phone was to run TomTom !...I get lost a lot !

Please Advise !!

Mine works fine. I am sure I have read loads of members using N70 and TTM5!!!

Mine TTM5 dont work AT ALL on my N70...... If the bluetooth dont cut off at random, it just freezes my phone with a white screen anyway! Ive given up using it! The 7610 is much more reliable so i use that for sat nav instead!

just wanted to post the following:-
i copied the tom tom files to my memory card, then inserted it. i then went to the "my own" menu and options, followed by application downloads and more software. it searched and found the needed files which i then put into my mobile phone main menu tom tom mobile 5 working fine. hope this helps people.

Nice one thanks

I am going to order tomtom 5 tomorrow ...so should hopefully have it on tuesday !!

The cheapest I have seen it is £175 on innovations website...seems reasonable as the receivers are £90 on their own !

Thanks for that input rukshan, have you ever heard of grammar and spell check?

All seems well so far !...I have had one dropped connection ...which resulted in me having to switch my phone Off and On ...but I put this down to bluetooth being a bit tempremental ......

Hi all,

Looks like I posted my 'cure' too soon and without enough testing.

Although I managed a 90 minute BT GPS connection last night with v5.2 of TomTom, this was done indoors with the GPS on the window ledge and in a static position.

Today my N70 crashed repeatedly when I was in the car following a genuine route of 20 miles from my home to a friends place.

Back to the drawing board for everyone! Hope a reliable solution is found soon.

Cheers,
Dez

Have you tried with another gps, my problem is that when I shall paire the units after a natural disconnection I have to reboot my phone... When I get connected though, the navigation is good.

Still hoping for a crack to the 5.20...

Hi,

One of my work colleagues has the official TomTom GPS II receiver so I may try to borrow his at some point to test with my N70. However, he is currently on 2 weeks leave so I am not able to get hold of the TomTom receiver at the moment.

I have heard a 5.20 Crack is available on BitTorrent and eMule P2P networks, but as the official version didn't cure my problems there's no guarantee it would help you out.

It is very strange that I can keep a permanent GPS connection when stationary, and the N70 only crashes when my car is in motion?????

Haven't found it on piratebay. Do you have a link!? PLEASE, can't wait to try...

I have the new update of TTM5 but I noticed the driver update on their screen shot is not the same.........mine says app ver 5.2000 but driver is still showing old GPS driver v1.20.......................Yet their driver on site says v1.21 Any ideas? PS i have BT GPS and still crashes with new version.

Hi all,

I am starting to think there's more wrong with Bluetooth on the N70 than incompatabilities with TomTom5...

... today I had problems connecting to a Motorola HS810 headset.

The headset connected fine this morning at the start of my car journey, and I even received a short voice call, with the N70 auto-answering the call and routing audio via the HS810.

I then stopped for a coffee half way into my journey and shut off the HS810.
When I tried to reconnect the HS810, the nokia (*) logo appeared but the "Connected to Motorola HS810" message did not appear. Being suspicious, I asked my passenger to phone me and lo and behold, the phone rang and rang until O2 voicemail took over.

I attempted to manually start the BT connection in the Bluetooth paired-devices menu, and received an error'unable to start a conneciton with this device'

The only way to get the headset working again was to reboot the N70, then all worked fine.

Club Nokia's technical helpdesk told me that they did not recommend using a Motorola Headset (or anything else non Nokia branded) with Nokia phones.

The chap also stated that Nokia are not aware of any known problems with the N70 model. Does this (disappointing) response sound familiar folks?
