    i bought a copy of tomtom 5.2 and the navman spin100 and installed it on the phone ok but cant get a valid signal from the navman. all i get is a message that says waiting for valid gps signal.
    Can anyone whos installed this combination on the lobster help me please.

    Have you paired the devices - you need to enter NAVMAN as the password to access the gps receiver
    If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.

    You need to press and hold either the * key or the # key (think it was the *) to change to letters.

    Its been mentioned a few times now in the different threads, along with other good relevant information, very worthwhile reading.

    Where did you buy tomtom 5.2?

    I bought a navman spin and route66 UK edition from totalpda. I have got a second lobster for my wife. Route66 can only be activated on one device, so instead of buying it again, I thought I would try tomtom for that one. I can only find it with Benelux maps (albeit for only £10). I am looking for it with UK maps, or somewhere to get just the UK map and I'll get the Benelux edition. The problem seems to be that tomtom don't make it anymore, so only shops with old stock will do, and I can't find any with UK smartphone edition.

    I have managed to get someone to make me some screens for the Lobby.

    Anyone interested?

    I have about 12 so far but only two look Ok and the others need a bit of tuning (colours etc).

    Anyone got any ideas what they would like or what might look good?

    I have the same problem. I only just realised, after reading your post, that there is a question mark next to my Navman in the device menu.

    If anyone can shed some light that would be great.
