Re: Need Help With Tomtom

[pdappcgeek]

GPS Viewer is a totally seperate program. The mogul needs something to "kick start" and make the GPS senser detect the satellites faster. I did a lot of research a few months ago and was reading from these forums it can take some people like 30 seconds - 5 minutes until gps programs like tom tom will lock onto a satellite. So the GPS Viewer program acts like a primer. I have GPS Viewer V1.5 It works well. I originally installed TomTom (I think) from a cab file.... ttn.cab I'm not sure how to check my version number now that it's installed...I did look for an about me and went through the settings and what not...but no luck. I do have a folder on my storage drive called TomTom-2577. I hope this helps

Check your TT version by going to /Program Files/Navigator. Inside should be a file called ttnavigator.bif. Open that using notepad on your PC or Pocket Word works fine as well on your PPC. There will be a couple fields your looking for in the file. First is ApplicationVersion and then ApplicationBuild. My says 7450 and 9028 which matches my version of 7.45 b9028.
