TomTom and HP IPAQ. How do I use it without a GPS connected?

TomTom and HP IPAQ. How do I use it without a GPS connected?

seems like a strange question!

What I mean is. As soon as it starts a thing pops up asking me to
connect.
I just want to add a favourite, which involves trying to find a
place.

But every few seconds the thing pops up asking me to connect.

I guess maybe configuring it to the wrong GPS (to bluetooth gps
instead of 'other nmea gps), may stop the thing popping up. But, seems
a bit ridiculous. Or I could use it with the GPS. But, any other way?

I have other software - memory map. Which tries to connect, I press
cancel and it gets the message. TomTom doesn't.

I used TT 5 on an iPAQ for a while but am not using it any longer. Does
it not have an Advance Planning choice? That will let you select a
destination. Then, as soon as it has a NMEA input and is ready it will
start navigating.

I finally got into the habit of using it with the receiver attached
(even in the house) to do any planning. I nearly always wanted to
create an Itinerary in order to control routing and I couldn't plan the
routes and see them with having the GPS input.

Once I got into the habit of creating Favorites for all the via points I
used in nearly all my Itineraries, planning and saving itineraries
became the primary way I used it. It was usually easier to open one of
the saved itineraries and modify it to create a new one than it was to
do the same thing from scratch.

Having the GPS receiver attached and with a fix, made it all a lot
easier. I was using a cabled receivers, an Altina and then later a
Rikaline.
