Default Tom Tom3

I've recently loaded the uk maps and tom tom 3 onto my imate/XDA II.

All seems fine until I try and use navigator,which again looks like it should do, but it says GPS disabled. I have a bond set up with tom tom, but it wont seem to connect... Any help in lamens terms gratefully received! I see a page within bluetooth settings with reference to COM ports - I have no idea what these are supposed to be set to!

Thanks!

No joy - cant get GPS at all, no little satellite icon anywhere. When I go into the application everything is there but it says GPS disabled at the bottom. If I check GPS status, the error message says: "unable to launch the GPS control panel"
I can pair the receiver no problem, but then it should apparantly ask if "a serial port should be created for the Bluetooth device". It doesn't! Also the Tom Tom Navigator icon in the start menu is a PC icon - ie not the proper blue icon with the arrow in it...

Frustrated and stuck! Thanks

You need to reinstall from the CD. The GPS control panel isn't installed.
