Angry F*%^ing GPS!

I've got a TomTom bluetooth GPS reciever, it pairs fine with my P910i, but then it wont connect or let me use the satellite data.

My phone can see it all the time, it just doesn't connect.

What am I doing wrong, coz it's really starting to annoy me!

BTW, using Wayfinder 4.50 as the GPS software.

Choosing the correct BT serial port, baud rate, etc. NMEA or SiRF data format from the GPS? It's bound to be one of these configuration settings that's wrong.

I had the same trouble to begin with and it was because the pda defaulted to a different serial port instead of the one it should have been.
