"no valid gps signal"

aidan_saint

thank you for this help option . am seeing if i can use my old HP ipaq rx5900 , which has tomtom navigator 6 built in . despite this being an old product , the software functions , but continuously states "no valid gps signal" . hence does not actually navigate ! any ideas on rectifying this ? i imagine updates for maps are no longer possible , but it would be helpful if the product could be used with existing maps . thanks , aidan

thanks for thoughts , YFM .
