This is REALLY pissing me off.
Well i have a TP and hope to have someone come to my rescue. later.

The question is, have you "primed" it with another GPS program? Tom Tom requires you to use another program to get your gps fix. My favourite program for this is Chartcross GPS Test. Google Maps also works, although a bit slower.

99% of the time tomtom 7 requires no priming on the TP. however. that being said. i ahve had times that it just would not get a signal without priming. it has greatly depended on the rom i was using. when i do need a prime, i just load up google maps.
