Wow, you're right!!! But where's the update? 5.21 still have some issues with n70!!!
Tom Tom Mobile 5 FIXED on N70!!
Thats just TomTom trying to shut us lot up!!!
Haven't done the update personally, but from what I've read on here... it's not actually worth doing as it's not resolving anything!!!
Anyone who has updated to 5.20 that has got the bluetoothdriver 1.21 installed? Look at the green picture on this link; http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&FID=3571
On my phone it says ver. 5.20 with gps driver 1.20. Not 1.21 as mentioned in the picture.. Anyone who has solved this?
I guess that on TomToms site there must be a GPS driver update then... but I couldmn't find it???
Anyone got a magnifying glass we can search with??
Well, I've JUST ordered this original/official TomTo GPS receiver, so it'll be interesting to see what that coupled with the latest v5.20 software and v2.0537.1.7 Nokia firmware will achieve ey?
If still no joy, it may be worth upgrading my firmware and then if still no joy... only then can we bombared TomTom with BAH! and rants! for quoting such blasphemous ccompatibility claims. 😃
Cross your fingers! :frown:
I'm gobsmacked - It says that TT5 is compatible with the N70, but alot of people are having problems & previously TT have informed me that the N70 is not currently compatible.
I can't figure out why they can have a change of heart without a Fix being released.

As I said Ash, no mystery... one day we're not compatible, the next we are.... and yet it still doesn't work!! Even with the suposed 5.2 Patch!!
Come on think about it all... they get us lot moaning, release a patch telling it does "something" that it clearly doesn't and then hey presto, we're on there compatibility list...
Next they'll be telling us all we're doing something wrong!!
I think Kevs355 needs to keep up with the thread too... we've tried patches, firmware upgrades, official GPS reveivers.... and still no-one is having luck....
As for bombarding TT with our comments... do you think we've been sleeping???
Unfortuanetly only time will tell.
Hi to everyone, this is my first post,
I have been following this thread with interest as I am wanting to buy tomtom for my N70. i phoned them this morning to ask why the change of heart on the compatibility issue. All the chap would say is that if it says its compatable on the site then it is!!
No help what so ever,
Any one else got any more info???
I rest my case!
Useless to the last!
Big thanks to TomTom.... what would they do if all the N70 owners said stuff you and went elsewhere...... cos I'm seriously going that way....
Got a answer from TomTom today.
Previuosly they stated there was an issue, now they've responded with :
"If you look at the comparability list you will see that the N70 has been added.
"
I've emailed em back for some further information.
The words, wtf, pop to mind !
Incredible!! How can a company be so ignorent? They must have experienced some issues while testing, or perhaps they haven't tested enough.
Very disappointing to read tomtom answers. Hope people don't buy tomtom with n70 until things are solved...
Anyone else have the 1.21 bluetooth firmware... what kind of difference does this really make???
Has anyone been able to install the TT Mobile 5.20 update, and then the Bluetooth version shows as 1.21 ? If so, are you still experiencing problems and is it a original or ebay version of TomTom ?
Thanks
Well I have TomTom 5.20 and a brand new N70, tried everything but the gps continues to disconnect every 5 mn or so.
If I switch off bluetooth and then on again, usually Tomtom works again for another 10 mn ....
And by the way, I just bought a new bluetooth headset nokia HS-26W, very nice but it does not work at all with N70
Works very well with the Ibook but impossible to get it to work with the Nokia. Correctly paired though but when I try to activate it, it seems that the N70 keeps a bluetooth connection active while there is no real connection.
According to me all these bluetooth problems with tomtom may well come from a huge bluetooth 2.0 bug in the N70 software !!!!!!
I also suspect this is as much a Nokia Bluetooth problem as it is a Tomtom issue.
My Bluetooth headset (Motorola HS-810) also randomly experiences problems connecting to the N70. I had considered getting a Nokia headset in the hope it would solve the problem but from your comments it doesn't sound like a wise move.
Perhaps Nokia need to be lobbied for new firmware.
Lets try again :

Guys, I know this has been briefly touched on it the past but I have only just recently finally received my GPS unit and more than several trips later it's failed to let me down 😃 ... the secret?
Switch your phone to 'offline' mode, it works for me EVERYTIME! Admittedly yes, it's a pain as you can't take your calls, yes it's a pain that you have to buy the most expensive receiver but it works for me first time everytime. So's you too can maybe recreate this level off sucess i've taken the liberty of listing my set-up below
My set-up...
Nokia N70 (firmware v2.0537.1.7) on T-Mobile
Original TomTom GPS receiver as seen here http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TTBTGPSS3MOB&cat=25
TomTom mobile 5.20 'evaluation' *coughs* version
Hope some of this helps? feel free to ask away...
I must admit, after I firmware updated mine I haven't tried the offline method.
Do you do anything special with the BT pairing i.e. Delete the pairings ?
Also, can you please confirm if your TT shows Bluetooth device driver as 1.21 or is it 1.20 ?
Thanks
GPS driver 1.20 and it's now also working in 'general' mode a treat too... hmmmm, weird innit? it seems to work for some but not for the majority. Could it be the phone firmware?
Did you get the message I sent you ?
Kev you there ?
Has anyone tried using the V6.05 map and see if that helps with the crashing problem? On my 6630 the v6.05 map seems to be smoother though that could just be in my mind.
I am new to this thread but experiencing all the same problems. Have tried all the tips above to no avail.
Has anyone tried TT with the new firmware upgrade for the N70?
I have been following this TomTom & N70 issue and have been carrying out my own tests, which I will go into detail on now to try and draw up some conclusion as to who the fault really lies with..
I will start by listing my firmware and driver versions etc:
My N70 is unbranded � Firmware V.20.0536.0.2
12-09-05
RM84
Bluetooth Receiver � BT77
TomTom APP Version - 5.2 (Also tested with 5.0)
GPS Driver - 1.20
I have experienced all the same problems as everyone else, frequent connection lose between 5-10 minutes which requires a reboot of the phone before connection is established again!
I have tried all previous suggestions such as offline mode, delete pairings from the bluetooth list etc but none of those have fixed the problem.
Here is what I have found:
Connection is maintained if you are not actually travelling in the car. I tested this by leaving my receiver on the window ledge over night. When I woke up next day it was still connected.
However, if you plan a route (I did my 36 mile commute to work) and set it running as �Show Route Demo�, it crashes whilst running the demo, the connection is lost but then the demo continues. This happened time and time again with varying lengths of time, sometimes 10 minutes others 2 minutes!
So next test was to see if the demo would run crash free when the bluetooth receiver was not switched on. Again I set this up over night with the demo repeating. Woke up next day and the demo was still going, crash free.
At this stage I was now thinking that there is a definite fault with the N70 bluetooth, and set out to try and get my phone updated with the latest firmware from Nokia � V3.0546.2.3
Unfortunately I have been unable to get this done anywhere local to me over the past few days as the engineer from the carphone warehouse service centre is away until after Christmas.
So in the meantime I have been trying various other tests, and one which I think (repeat think) has been successful is if you turn off the map display. It is on page 1 of the preferences menu. So far I have not lost a connection this way whilst the phone has been running the demo. I will confirm this by leaving the receiver on my window ledge over night and setting the demo running.. If when I wake up tomorrow morning the connection is still established and the demo still running, then I think this is the solution. I know it�s nice to have the colourful map display but for now, as a temporary solution lets hope it works so you can still actually navigate!
I�m still none the wiser of who is at fault, but one thing I noticed while looking through the TTMOBILE.APP code from my old version 5.0 was this:
W h e n u s i n g t h e p h o n e , t h e m e m o r y c a n b e c o m e f r a g m e n t e d ( t h e a m o u n t o f f r e e m e m o r y d e c r e a s e s ) . T o s o l v e t h i s , t r y r e b o o t i n g y o u r p h o n e .
It is almost as though the N70 is allocating all its memory to the map display as it re-draws it when your moving? I would appreciate it if people having the same trouble could try out my suggestion and report back.
I could be totally wrong, but hopefully this will be sorted soon.. I miss my 6680 :frown: lol
Well, after 3-4 weeks of searching, looking, asking, scratching ...... Mines working.
At the culprit is ............... POIs (Custom ones that I'd added)
When I first installed the software, I also install a shed load of POIs. After trying everything in the book I accidentally deleted my POIs and then everything started working.
I'm not sure if this will help other people, but it certainly helped me.
btw, I'm on Firmware 3.0546.2.3 using an Emtac BT GPS, TT Mobile 5.20
Ash_99 :icon14:
I dont want to speak to soon, but i think you may have cracked it 😃
Im 2 hours in to testing and im still going strong! 😊
I deleted all my own added POI's, and come to think about it, it used to crash alot when i was near an IKEA store (i had POI's for ikea). This would also explain why the connection wouldnt drop when you were stationary or when you had map display turned off..
Everyone having problems should try this and report back!
Fingers crossed!
My N70 is unbranded – Firmware V.20.0536.0.2
12-09-05
RM84
Bluetooth Receiver – BT77
TomTom APP Version - 5.2
GPS Driver - 1.20
As POI's seem to be the problem has anyone tried the v605 map with the POI's enabled? Someone on another forum reported the problem solved after switching to that map.
Hi,
I have also tested the Nokia N70 extensively over the past few weeks and also sent many emails to tomtom and nokia. They have been totally useless, they just dont seem to want to accept there is a problem!
I agree I have had success with both the map display turned off and also by disabling all POI's however I am not at all happy with this soultion as I REALLY find the speed camera database POI essential I can live without the others. Mine does still crash in the map display with the camera POI active.
Surely there is somebody out there with more intelligence than the goons that obviously work for tomtom that is able to find a solution to this problem. It really does see that we have to do this work ourselfs as I dont believe tomtom or Nokia is going to have a resolution for this issue anytime in the near future.
Please please keep working on this issue and maybe eventually someone will be able to come up with a solution.
Sounds like someones finally getting there with the potential pitfall in the N70/TomTom issue. Although as previously mentioned by the last post, the speedcamera database is a must.....
Well done.
Can you confirm, do I need to delete or disable the "own" POI's to do the test...
