yes ive got it

there was problem with 5.0 with GPRS dialup for TomTomTraffic Traffic etc. addons, theres a 5.1 patch now which fixes it.

having POIs turned on cause mine to intermitently crash aparently a known bug as the POI file is corrupt.

apart from having all my POIs turned off, can't fault it

my advice is to NOT get any tomtom plus service tho, ive got tomtom traffic and it's RUBBISH, better off listening to the radio for traffic updates! and the tomtom speed camera taddon is FREE on other sites, and the free ones work BETTER

as per spanishfly, you need a GPS receiver and a copy of the software (through legitimate or ilegitimate means )

my GPS receiver cost 100quid and its brilliant

ranj, whats this bluetooth bug mate, i'm happily running with a Bluetooth GPS with zero problems, but then i have updated my rom to the latest version (off an imate)

jim

when i had my xda 11s it constantly dropped bluetooth link, spoke to 02 xda support tech and they said at tthat time it was a bug, also many others had same problem on the xda-developers forum

its possible its been paatched but at that time there was no patch being written,to cure problem
