Hi,
I was wandering if i can have both TTN3 and Destinator 3 software on my PDA. The reason for this is that TTN3 hasn't got Greek maps whereas Destinator 3 has

Thanks,

Ilias

Only if you have tomtom gps 2.07 installed, the reason for this is any updated GPS driver after this point locks your PDA to use tomtomt and wont let another GPS enabled program access the com ports. What PDA do you have as some newer PDA's require the 3.07 update for the PDA to be compatible.

personally id use gps 2.06 as it doesnt hook at all and 2.07 does if you useing the 2i then its comport 6 if you use 2.06 then use bluetooth gps as the com port

I've got tt3 and destinator 3.075 both running on my xda2 with bluetooth receiver.

To get the receiver to work with both you need to delete the bluetooth gps partnership and tomtom gps ( on your pda) install pocket bluetooth tools from http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/, pair your bluetooth gps with your pda and select com 7 when promted. Then turn your receiver on, open destinator and go to gps settings. Select com 7, set baud rate to 4800 and protocol to nmea then hit "set gps". If all works fine then bluetooth will automatically be turned on when you run destinator and turned off when you exit.

Next you need to re-install tomtom gps and set this to your bluetooth receiver again.

This is the way I got around tomtom hoging the port and it works perfectly thou I have to remember to exit destinator before turning off my receiver or it freezes.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the xda 2i has some bugs with bluetooth - might be worth you looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/front_page.php

Good luck
