What is the soft ware which makes my XDA2 recognize the GPS Bluetooth please?
Mourad
There is usually some very basic software that comes with the GPS. Something call Navigator came with me Leadtek unit.
I purchased OziExplorer (both PC and PPC versions) which allows me to use any (suitably calibrated) map image, any image at all in fact, including aerial photographs.
There is also a good choice of car navigation packages such as Destinator and Navman to name two.
There are quite a few software packages available at www.handango.com.
Good luck.

Hello,
I bought an MDA 2 (QTEK2020) and a wired XAIOX X3 GPS receiver and installed TOMTOM Navigator 3.01
I have 1.72.00WWE latest rom version.
The Xaiox is a rather new type I think (can receive up to 16 satellites)
I saw in the list of GPS Receivers that this brand XAIOX was not in, but on the website of Xaiox is mentionned that the gps protocol is NMEA 0183v3 compatible and you should pick 9600 baud rate.
In the TomTom list I saw NMEA 0183v2 9600 (version 2 only). I checked this one and waited 45 minutes,but didn't get any connection.
I always see GPS SIGNAL UNRELIABLE
The field 'receive incomming beams' (like infrared,...) is set out,as i read this could block an incomming port like the receiver.
My Xaiox receiver has no lights,so I can't see any status. It had a serial cable out,and i bought a small piece to convert to USB, and this USB connects to a smaller type of usb on the bottom of the MDA2.
I'm not sure if I should choose 'Serial on Com1' or Serial on USB. But I tried both of them and still no connection. I also tried all of the other brands in the list like Destinator 3,SIRF 9600,TOMTOM,... but no connection.
This GPS receiver is brand new, and I tried it at home with power cable in, cause the gps receiver had to load also. Also on the road no connection.
I updated to TomTom 3.03 but no change.
1>Is the GPS receiver NMEA protocol V3 too high for the one in the TomTom Navigator list (NMEA v2 only)?
2>Do I choose the wrong port or gps receiver model ?
3>Do I have to close phone connections in order to use GPS ?
I tried 'Turn Flight Mode Off' but it didn't work either...strange stuff...
Thanks and a happy 2005 everyone!!!!
ir beamsa receive off
Hello,
Try to switch of the infrared you can find his under connections
you will have a com1 now and i think it will work
greatings and happy newyear!
Does anyone know if these two can somehow be paired so that the Wizard can use the TomTom as a GPS unit as well as a BT speakerphone? I've been unable to find anything with either of the vendors. They pair together w/o issues as a hands-free setup, but I am coming from a WM2003SE phone to the newer WM5/6 units and just wanted to know if the GPS functionality is restricted to just certain receivers.
My current setup is:
Unlocked 8125 Wizard
Xplore 1.1 WM6 ROM
TomTom GO 910 GPS
No, you cannot use the TomTom's GPS with your Wizard.
I have one, and although i like it, i think there is room for improvement.
Current Setup
1. Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe
2. titan_radio_3.27.00.exe
3. dcd_titan_kitchen_2.3.2.rar
Everthing works with some data issues when downloading large files due to a but in the titan_radio_3.27.00.exe (I can live with it).
The problem is when I partnership the Titan with the Holux 240 GPS external Bluetooth GPS it does not connect. I can see the device but never can connect, Yes I use the standard 0000 passcode. Other Bluetooth devices ie my headset Moto N700 and car head unit Sony BT-2500, audio and hands free all work. I'll be travelling to an area with no Digital service and would like to use the GPS with Navigation software.
When I restore the original TELCOM ROM, I have no problems with Holux 240, Moto N700 and Sony BT-2500. When I connect I see a serial port as a list service.
Some threads talk about a fix for the Bluetooth stack? nueROM or Dogguy in PPCGeek.
Another item to be noted. With Bluethooth A2DP headsets, if I connect once do I have the reconnect to the device again? The Sony BT-2500 pairs with with Titan (any CE ROM) but I need to resave the audio everytime.
I haven't tried my Holux GPSlim 240 with any of the new ROMs yet, but I'll try to remember to give it a shot when I got off work.
I'm curious though - why would you want to use external GPS when you can use the one built into the phone? My Titan's GPS seems to be more accurate than my Holux 240. You don't need digital service to use the GPS, unless you're using Google Maps or some other program that downloads maps on the fly. If you already have a navigation program with maps, just use the built-in GPS.
I thought the GPS chip in the Titan was a gpsOne that uses digital cellular signal from the towers to triangulates your position.
From phonenews.com
Installing this update will enable GPS to function inside your HTC Titan. It enables the gpsOne chipset in your device to function as a standard GPS device, compatible with Windows Mobile 5 & 6 GPS applications, including Google Maps, Windows Live for Mobile, and navigation software such as TomTom Navigator. Keep in mind that gpsOne is not autonomous GPS, you will need to have home network coverage in order to maintain a GPS lock.
I posted about this same problem with my Holux 1200. The internal GPS always takes 5+ minutes to connect for me no matter where I am or what I use to juimp start it, so there are times when I'd want to use my external receiver for a quick connection. When setting up my receiver I set the outgoing COM port to 0. Then from the external GPS settings I try to set the GPS hardware port to 0 also, but the setting doesn't stick. It always reverts back to the default which is none. Some people have told me that they never set the GPS hardware port, but I always had to previously to use my GPS receiver. Now with the internal GPS enabled I can't.
Found some more information
gpsOne can operate in 4 modes:
Standalone - Your handset has no connection to the network, and uses only the GPS satellite signals it can currently receive to try and establish a location.
MS Based - Your handset is connected to the network, and uses the GPS signals + a location signal from the network.
MS Assisted - Your handset is connected to the network, uses GPS signals + a location signal then relays its 'fix' to the server, which then uses the signal strength from your phone to the network towers to further plot your position. You can still maintain voice communication in this scenario, but not 'Internet/Network service' ie Web Browser, IM, streaming TV etc..
MS Assisted/Hybrid - Same as above, but network functionality remains. Normally only in areas with exceptional coverage.
Hello all,
I was just curious. Im considering purchasing an external bluetooth GPS receiver and running TomTom on my device when im driving.
I also currently use a bluetooth handsfree device.
Am i able to use both bluetooth devices?
I have no problems connection a bluetooth GPS (Holux 236) and a handsfree device (Nokia HS12W) together (and using them at the same time).
HTC branded TYTN.
Only downside might be in the way the applications address the display. Nokia Smart2Go doesn't seem to like the phone application interrupting it... (it works, but phone application doesn't show)

TomTom works fine with the phone.
What do you all recommend in terms of Bluetooth GPS receivers for the Wizard?
all bluetooth GPS receiver works fine on wizard with tomtom 6.
I should you to buy one with a Sirfstar 3 chipset.

What do you mean? Do I need to buy a TomTom too? I was thinking of using Google Maps, so I don't need any software.
Also, where could I find a list of devices with that chipset? Or does someone have a specific recommendation?
Google maps is indeed free, and does utilise GPS, however, relies on an internet connection do download its map content (which could turn out expensive, and an internet connection isn'y always availible). Furthermore, if you are looking for Sat-Nav, then Google maps isn't really that suited to prompting you as you travel, whereas TomTom is specifically designed for the purpose.
If you want a software that
- is free,
- does not need a data connection and
- can use almost any maps you want to use,
have a look at TrekBuddy.
It´s a Java program and should run fine on the Wizard. I already tried it on my cell phone and my WM2003 PocketPC.
It uses maps that are downloaded from the www and stores them on the sd card in small "tiles", so you can create your personal set of maps with the regions you need and the scale(s) you prefer. The "tiles" are stored in .png format, so you can put a lot of stuff on the sd card.
Okay, it is not a navigation system, but can be useful e.g. for trekking and other outdoor activities like geocaching or storing city maps.
Regards, C.
I have one I have enjoyed using
I have a i.Trek Z1
It's bluetooth of course and the other cool thing is it also can charge while in use by way of solar power. It flips apart to show a Solar panel. It runs for days without charging at all but its nice to know if your driving you can just leave it on your dash and know its still charging.
Cheers,
Chris
Wow I like the solar power idea. I personally use a Microsoft streets and trips gps reciever. It comes with the software that you buy. I put that on my laptop,and I use the gps reciever with Google maps. It works flawlessly. I drive around three thousand miles a month so I really use it alot.
