TOM TOM 5 XDAIIi CRASHES

Hello Please could someone help.

I have the tom tom 5 software installed on my o2 xdaIIi pda.
and it connects to the gps reciver ok. But the problem i have is after a while it just stops working and the tom tom software stop and goes back to the today screen. normaly i do a soft restart and that can help but the the problem normaly comes back after awhile. it can work ok for 5 minutes or 1 hour if im lucky. and it seems to be getting worse. and now it crashes after it has calculted the route. when it trys to display the map.
I have made sure that there is no other software running in the back ground.
And now I have done a hard reset but it hasn't helped.
I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem. and if they know how to solve it.

Simon you are not alone at all

Another very very frustrated owner of XDAIIi. I have upgraded to tomtom 5 nav and have frozen so many times I think I have the answer to global warming!!! Tomtom "help" reccomended I upgrade my SD card as it is suposed to be a card speed issue. This I did and bought a SabDisk Extreme 111 it certainly speeded thing up a bit and I guess was worth the money for that. I bought it on ebay which was buy far the best price for a new disk. Without connecting to traffic it works like a dream but once connected to gprs and traffic it freezes as soon as there as traffic tries to update. I have a thread running with tomtom help and I will let you know what they say next. Although I have been waiting three days for a reply, guess they don't know the answer!

I have also tried to load other software from Handango and found the success rate low with lots of freezing on various bits of software. I think o2 have got to sort a few problems out and I am also thinking of sending it back.

Would anyone reccomend a good replacement?

Hello all

I have had an interesting solution for this problem that may help and you may have not tried.

Which voice are you using? I have been told by I friend to only install GB Tim voice, if you are using any other then fully hard reset your PDA and re-install TomTom with only this voice.

I was previously using USA Lori voice but have been told this solves the problem, but I am going to test this today on the road. So will report back on here.

I am sure all of you are as fustrated with TomTom Mobile 5 as I am, so this is certainly worth a try.
