Default Problems with Samsung omnia and tomtom 6

Hi.
I am trying to use tomtom version 6.030 on my samsung omnia but every time I try to laod it I get an error message: 'Unable to start. An exception occured: Memory access violation'.

Tomtom works perfectly on my iPaQ 214.

I have uninstalled are reinstalled.
I have also removed the poi.
I have also redownloaded both the map and the application from tomtom home.
But nothing has helped.

Does anyone know what else I can try?

Thank you.

Cathy

Default Samsung Omnia GPS / Satellite Problems Solution For Tomtom Navigation Software

Hi Guys,

Samsung Omnia works superfine with Tomtom Navigation Software and here is the fix to the satellite signal problem;


1st - Settings:
I use in external GPS settings - program port "COM7" and hardware port "COM9" at 4800. (note: Make sure your TomTom configure also follows COM7 port!)
2nd - Reboot
Then I shut off the device completely (complete off), and reboot. Once I reboot.
3Rd - Delete the 'GPSID_log' files
I go to File Explorer --> My Device and I delete the TWO 'GPSID_log' fileS.
[note: the reboot step is absolutely necessary, because if you don't reboot, then it won't allow you to delete one of the 'GPSID_log' file!!!]
4th - Start TomTom OUTSIDE (under the clear sky) and within 20 - 30 secs the program catches the satellites (they show up on the configure screen). But not only that - after 1-2 minutes the software actually CONNECTS to the satellites (the satellites turn BLUE) and in the front screen it says - no route planned! Note: You Must Wait Until The Front Screen Says "No Rote Planned" and the map is in color (opposed to black and white) before you start setting your destination, otherwise it will keep on hanging and just showing you the satellites in grey without ever turning into blue.
