Default GPS query

I have a Medion pda from Aldi, it has Navigator 4 running.
Is it possible to add Tomtom to it as well. Effectively having the ability to run either of the 2. Reason being I want to initially try Tomtom and remove it if unliked, then atleast i'll still have the Medion Navigator, without having to reinstall.

Welcome to our forums.
You can, hoewever TomToms later GPS drivers lock the COM port meaning no other application can access it. To get around this you would need to uninstall the driver that comes with TomTom3 and install their v2.07 driver which doesn't lock the port.

Thanks for response, being a newbie, can you explain how to uninstall the original driver. Thanks
