I remember something about disabling IR beams, but i thought this was solved in Himalaya.
Anyway try this :
Start/settings/Connections/ Beam/ uncheck "Receive all incoming Beams."

Hi everybody,
I do really need an extra help with my XDA and Mapopolis GPS kit. I connected everything right, the GPS antenna (Holux 210) works fine bilinking since the sats are linked, but my Mapopolis software regularly mounted on my XDA doesn't want to work. It still keep itself "frozen" searching for on COM1 port and it did not reply to any command on touch screen.
What's wrong???? Anyone can help me? Please...
Thanks so much for your help....

Not sure if this will fix your problem, but I had a similar situation with mapopolis a while ago.
I'll assume you already have your GPS set up to do NMEA at 4800 baud. Also, this process is described for PPC2002, I haven't been able to try out PPC2003 yet.
Go to the PPC settings window (Start Menu->Settings), and choose the "Connections" tab. Tap "Beam" and ensure that the box for "Recieve all incoming beams" is NOT checked. Click ok.
When this box is checked, it creates some kind of conflict over COM1 which prevents Mapopolis from connecting to the GPS. When I turned this option off, everything started working.
Good luck!
I recently upgraded my XDA from the O2 website. Everything OK except I have lost COM 1 ? If I try to select it in the GPS of my Tom Tom Navigator it tells me it doesn't exist.
I have the Tascali registry editor but I can't see anything missing (Like I'd know !).
Please help because Tom Tom is absolutely useless without GPS !
START/Settings, Connections TAB, BEAM icon, Untick beam. OK.
You should have com1 back again.
Have you disabled the infrared recieving in Connections?
Normaly that´s the problem

Feel a little stupid now !
Thanks... works fine now !
Hello xda-users....
I've got a little problem with my xda using tomtom.
I've added the GPS part (V209) of Tomtom diretly to the Rom.
I'm using a WM2003 ROM.
I had opened GPS an got the error "COM1 does not exist".
So exiting GPS and disabled infrared.
Opened GPS and the problem still exists.
I did not get it working. Tried some Soft and Hardresets.
May this be a problem because:
a) GPS is in the ROM
b) No other TomTom Software installed
c) Only the files from V209 are used
d) No Activation of TomTom has done (Don't know how to activate GPS...)
e) ???????
Anyone could help me?

Hmmm, turning off the infrared port worked fine for me. Is it an actual TomTom GPS receiver or a third party? Have you set the NMEA/Sirf parameters to match the module?

It's a third party GPS Reciever (Haicom)
It already worked.....
The Problem is, that i couldn't set the settings to Serial cable atteched to COM 1.
I got the error:
Cannot open Com1:
Port does not exist
:?
Turning infrared off, worked for me in the other cases too.....

Comm 9
Hi LumpiStefan
I had the same problem when I had the XDA, change the comm setting to Comm 9.
I was also using the Hiacom HI-203e. and this worked for me...
Hope it helps.
Sno...
do you suffer with disappearing check boxes?
i fixed mine after flashin rom 4.01.00 by the following
install navigator and voice prompts but not gps
upgraded to navigator 2.24
then installed gps 2.09
no checkbox problems or com1 errors.
Got another hint to disable folderable keyboard. Will test all given solutions today.....
Hope one will work.
Thx to all
Stefan
The folding keyboard driver will also snatch com1 for its own use.
Ok. Problem solved.
Com9 didn´t work for me. Problam was the Keyboard-driver...

I'm just recently using tom tom for first time and TOM TOM tells me everytime that COM1 doesn't exist.
I'm able to downgrade back to plain old 2003 to try it , however I'd rather have a fix or work around before I do so....
any thoughts or experiences?
Hi,
This will happen if the GPS cable is not connected correctly. Disconnect the cable and reconnect then start TomTom. I get this now and then. Everytime i reconnect it works just fine. Also check within TomTom if it is configured to use COM1 via serial and not Bluetooth.
Cheers
Jay
Right, just been down to the car, everythings plugged in correctly, tried multiple soft resets but keep getting the message "cannot open COM1: Port Does not Exist"
I tried using the serial on USB option instead (just clutching at straws) and get no error messages, just GPS Position unreliable. As far as I can see TOM TOM knows something is being plugged in as the flashing disconnct icon dissapears when i plug in the GPS reciever.
Any further ideas? I want to try it having downgraded back to 2003 but I don't have any backup software apart from xBackup and I'm reall yfond of SE.
Solution to Com 1 problem
Hi,
Go to connections, and disable the IR search for other devices, and IR in total, then the COM 1 is released.
Took me quite some time to figure that out my selv when having the problem.
Cheers.

Missing COM1 Port
This happened to me too and I discovered that it was being caused by the IR Beam being on receive by default. This inhibits the use of COM1. Solution - Navigate through the System functions to find the IR Beam option. Disable that and this may solve your problem.
Cheers Hissing Syd, I was just about to try flashing my rom but this fixed the com1 issue, next to try it in the car..
Hi all.
I am using an XDAII with WM2003SE
I got myself Destinator 3.0.75
with a HaiCom Cradle
and a Haicom HI-204S Receiver.
The receiver connects to the cradle by a P/S2 connection
Now, the problem is that this equipment and software worked great the first day. I purchased the items in sydney and it delivered me to my door step in newcastle.
But when I got into my car the next day, I got the message "Com 1 Busy", and the voice message "GPS not found"
Can someone help,
Thanks

You need to switch the IR port off.
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Beam
Uncheck "receive all incoming beams"
Then it works.

SaBo,
