Problem with CF on Dell Axim

brianbadger · 11-18-06, 07:02 AM

I have a Dell Axim X51v and am using TomTom 6 with a CF GPS card. I get a very fast lock on the satellites, and the software finds my route ok, but after driving just a few hundred yards it stops tracking my movements. I still have a signal but my position stops updating on the screen. If I go back to the menu then return to the screen, it usually updates my position but then the same thing happens. Sometimes it shows my current position as being off the road. Is this a problem with my TomTom installation or the CF card. Any suggestions how I could fix this? Would a bluetooth receiver be better?

Managed to solve the problem.
Apparantly Axim X51v has a problem communicating with the CF slot.
My sat nav is now working fine after updating the ROM of my PDA - free download available from dell website.
