Just installed Tomtom 5 onto my XDA and went to sit in the car to set it all up


all is set up, pics up the gps and tells me where i am, but the problem is this


according to the manual, when you are inputting a destination, there should be a keypad on screen to allow you to type in the destination, this is not showing on mine and its the same for all other menus where things need to be typed in has anyone experienced anything like this before?

 

scrap that act of stupidity i have comitted, i have found the problem



tomtom recognises my PDA as the XDA2s which has a built in slide out keyboard so i have to use that

 

but didnt know there was a manual, have you payed top $ for a proper version?

 

i aquired a version of tomtom 5 that came with a HTML manual

 

splended, thats ok i thought TT might have got some money out of you!

Still your a bloke right? Your letting the side down reading instructions

 

insturctions were only read after i couldn't work out how to put in locations, even then they were no good as they didn't show what i wanted in pictures

 

Had the same - pretty clever, but not when your PDA is sat in a cradle and therefore can't access the physical keyboard

 

Bill have you upgraded to WM2005? If not....DON'T! It's painfully slow and tomtom5 don't work.

 

I need to buy a TT 700 as a present for xmas anyone know where the cheapest place is??
cheers,
steve

 

Good, you redeemed yourself

 

Sunny, no, I'll be waiting a while before I upgrade to that

Hope you are well, been a while

 

Very well thanks Bill.

The up-side is that if the battery dies you don't lose your data however at a price.....ie slow OS and no Tomtom.
