| Well in a way the problems are TomToms fault as the other 2 GPS recievers I have tried (using Nemerix and MTK chipsets) work flawlessly with everything expect TomTom. |

On your P990i or on other phones? |

on my P990i using nav4all software and on my GFs W850i using G3. My Nemerix based reciever also worked 100% on my old P910i using nhgps. I didnt try the MTK 1 on my P910i. |

So basically if you want 100% compatibility we have to buy a TomTom GPS...  |

It looks that way if you want it 100% guarenteed, some phones may work 100% with non-TT recievers, others may not, it could also depend on the build number of TT Nav 6 they're using or maybe even the map version. |

Actually I've just re-installed TomTom (which I had also done with my previous recievers to see if it would cure any problems, without success) and it now works 100% with my Sirf Star 3 unit, no disconnects at all!
Edit - OK this is weird, as soon as I unplug my phone from its USB cable it starts disconnecting fro mthe GPS unit. However while it has a USB connection to my PC no disconnects occur.

Maybe, in that case, it is something to do with the phone being powered/charged.
I remember years back I had a Toshiba PDA where the Compact Flash GPS worked if the PDA was plugged in to the mains....
I will give it a try with my Qstarz GPS which I haven't had time to send back yet...

Its not to do wit hthat because the disconnects continue when the phone is plugged into its mains charger. I have just downloaded a free trial of Wayfinder, the same disconnects occur with that package, but not nav4all. |

Whilst I haven't heard of any problems with the Holox, for only a few quid more you can get the far superior Holux from Nav4All (you don't have to use their software  ) |

If you read a bit further back in this thread you will find that these aren't very good at all... |

Seriously get the Holux GPSlim 236 Sirf III from Nav4All. They take major credit cards and ship straight away. Mine took 3 days to be sent from Amsterdam to arrive to my home address in Lincoln.
It's €69.50 all in, so about £46.59. |
