I can sync and it hooks up properly, but then unexplainably disconnects within about 15 seconds. To make matters even more frustrating, it will occasionally stay hooked up and work perfectly all day long (about 10-15% of the time).
Most of the time, when I first turn the GPS on, the Blackberry will automatically try to hook up, with the results as stated above. Occasionally, I will have to manually envoke the connection.
Has anyone had similar experience, and if so, how did you remedy the situation?
Thanks in advance,
