N70 HELP and other even new models like N73, N80 etc
This help guide is for people Using the NOKIA N70 and bluetooth gps units ONLY
1. Before you do anything else, get your N70 firmare updated to version 3.0546.2.3 (you can do this at ny Nokia services centre, or call your netwrok provider- TomTom state that the N70 using this firmware version should work)
nokia tip for finding the firmware version if u type in*#0000# on the keypad of any nokia (nokia only) it displays the firmware number

2 You should NOT let the Nokia N70 pair your bluetooth GPS device. You should let TomTom do it. Here’s how I did this:-
1. Delete all current bluetooth pairings on your phone Go to Bluetooth?Paired devices then options then select “delete all”.
2. Now re-boot your phone (this is crucial as unless you do this, the N70 will ‘remember’ all previous paired devices and ask you to pair it again when you next switch on the receiver! Once you’ve re-booted the phone the N70 loses all this data after you have deleted all pairings)
3. Switch on your GPS receiver
4. Go into tomtom, select Change preferences, then go to “Show GPS Status”, select “Configure” then if you use a non TT receiver, select other and let TT search for and pair the device. You may also get a message from TT asking you to let your smartphone or PDA pair the device, but ignore this and click continue. Once you can see the unit is connected, selct ‘Done’
5. Now exit TT
6. Now go to Bluetooth then pairings. You may find the GPS device is listed there. If it is, delete it.
7. Now re-boot your phone again.
8. Now start totmotom, it may ask you do you want to accept connection from your bluetooth receiver, select yes. That should be it.
9. Now!! You should find the thing will work. But for those of you who still have problems, remove all your POI’s, including speed cameradatabes pr pocket GPS speed camera POI’s and you should be OK
I have come to the conclusion having any POI’s on the memory card causes freeze’s – I factory reset the phone, installed TomTom and it’s worked 100% since (without the Speed Cameras) – as soon as I add speed camera’s it freezes.
