I have Tom Tom 6, Ipaq 4100 and a BT GPS receiver. When I configure TT for my reciever it seems to work, (the yellow and black circle starts to spin) but it still says No Valid GPS signal.

Please help!

Thanks

Hi, just purchased a Mio P550 PDA with built in GPS receiver. It came with a TomTom Navigator 6 card, which I've just set up and activated, etc.... the problem is this:
I sat and waited while I thought it was searching for satellites.... and now all I get is a 'No GPS device!' message. Do I have to set up the Mio to tell the GPS to switch on or something, in the same way that you have to activate Bluetooth?
HELP?! ... oh, and yeah, thanks in advance!!!!!
