Can anyone tell me if TOMTOM 5 is compatible with the XDA?
When i say compatible, i dont mean will it install etc cos ive actually managed that no problem. What i mean is, has ANYONE found a GPS reciever that works with the XDA and TOMTOM 5 ? If so what settings did you use?
I have a RIKALINE GPS reciever, and TOMTOM 5. Ive tried what seems for ever to get the god damn thing working but no matter what settings i use, the TOM TOM 5 software refuses to acknowledge that i have a GPS reciever attached or even a signal.
I know the RIKALINE GPS reciever has a signal since ive watched the procedure it goes through in order to obtain it. I know what BAUD rate the GPS reciever needs, but i dont actually know how its connected to the PDA. Ie COM 9:, Serial Cable on COM1:, Serial on USB or Serial Cable on COM2 ?? I have tried them all but to now success. SO does anyone have a TOM TOM 5 installation guide or some information on what i should try next. Anything anyone can give me will be much appriciated. I really dont want to go back to TOM TOM 3 (which i have had working with all the above equipment)
Thanks in Advance
Hi there
Yes the XDA is fully compatible - but there are also conflicts you need to be aware of.
Go to START/SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS - select "BEAM" option - make sure that the box is UNCHECKED - as the infra red beam conflicts with the receiver!
On the TOMTOM program set the GPS receiver to TOMTOM CABLE GPS & away you go!
Let me know if you still can't get it working.
You'll need "Serial Cable on Com 1" Use Other Cable GPS receiver and set the baud rate and it should work once you've disabled the beam
Hello, i've installed Tomtom 5.21 and the maps and everything is Ok. but i can't make the link between my gps reciver (Royaltek Star III) and the atom XDA. I've installed the partnership in the settings but it doesn't connect with the antenna. I've seen in my other pda (ipaq hx4700 and ipaq hx2790) that there is a bluetooth manager in the connection setting but there is non in the atom XDA. Do you know what's the solution ?
Thanks
create OUTGOING COM port for GPS device :wink:
The same problem again
I've tried but i can't choose the port i want and if i choose another one, i can't find it in the gps settings in tomtom.
XDA ATOM to TOM-TOM GPS
ALTHOUGH NOT IDENTICAL, HP iPAQ rw 6828 settings as follow:
[SETTINGS]>[SYSTEM]>[GPS]
This gives you acess to [HARDWARE PORT]/[SOFTWAREPORT]/[GPS AUTO CHOICE]
On the Navigator, Look for Configuration >[NMEA]>Communication Port which should match Hardware port as set above.
BlueTooth COM7 OR 6
USB Cable COM8
SERIAL COM9
Also check the protocol while pairing, BLUTOOTH>[SPP]
Ensure your device is [Discoverable]
Ensure [PASSKEY] identical both sides.
Also under NMEA [SENTENCE] will affect how much data is exchanged each time your atenna poles, GPRMC/GPGGA/GPGLL are the most common.
Hope this helps. 8)

Both have PDA/GPS forums

if you have read first post, you can understand, that the problem with TOMTOM navigator, not with OZI explorer. Then
BlueTooth COM7 OR 6
USB Cable COM8
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tom-tom navigator works only with 8 bluetooth port... not with 6 or 7
No result
Impossible, nothing's working. There's no connection between the antenna and the tomtom.
In Tomtom the avalaible ports are : com 2, com 3, com 4 and com 9
On the atom, bluetooth is in discoverable mode and i've created a partnership with the antenna. I've created an outgoing port on com 8 and for the incoming port in com0 because i can't choose com 2, com, com 4 and com 9.
I really don't know what else i could try
TOM-TOM to BT GPS
KROPOTOV: fAIR ENOUGH - MISSED THE WOOD FOR THE TREES
DRAGSTERBOX: CHECK irDA, SETTINGS /CONNECTIONS/BEAM;disable receive all incoming beams ;which should free serial port.
jus my pennies worth

:wink:
only when you tap "receive incoming baems", com port is using... othertime it's free :lol:
Hi,
I have tomtom 5 on my Vario and have a BT GPS receiver that came with the copilot software.
I can't get tomtom to recognize the BT receiver. BT search on the device finds the receiver and it works ok with the copilot software. When I try to connect it using the tomtom software, I can't find the right port (COM6) in the tomtom settings, the tomtom website says choose other BT GPS and then it should have 'Bluetooth Port....'. Well it's just not there!!!
Any suggestions wpould be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

ok, I did try searching before I posted but I`ll try again.
thanks for the help!
I had the same problem, you need TomTom Navigator version 5.21 for it to recognise the BT GPS receiver.
Hope this helps.
Tom Tom and CoPilot BT GPS
What name have you paired the GPS as?
(yes - it's important)

Ive got a Vario
ive created a new partnership for the BT-GPS
and for the COM Ports ive set
incoming: COM6
outgoing: COM7
(i only get the option of COM6 & COM7)
i cant seem to select the same COM port for both.... i i try it it says..... the com port could not be created please check your settings and try again
I have tried this solutions and it works at the first chance!
http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3452
"try these in no particular order ... for me it works:
-- Change the device name to the default BT GPS name (when you pair the
gps)
-- Edit the registry to ensure you have or add (if not):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TomTom\GPS Engine\
Device = BT GPS
Enabled = 1
Obviously the first item is a KEY and the second (STRING) and third (DWORD) items are VALUES within that key
--Pair the GPS and make sure Com7 is enabled in (BT port setup) but NOT Com6
Cheers and good luck - you'll know it's working when the black and yellow disk is spinning when you go into the GPS config"
bye.
Solution for "The COM port could not be created. Please check your settings and try again" in http://yopablo.blogspot.es/
Hi all,
With the new SPRINT ROM, the A-GPS is now enabled and I can use it with Google Maps (it found the A-GPS automatically) and Live Search (it found throug Intermediary GPS Driver).
However, if I want to use it for iGuidance or TomTom, it asked for the COM PORT, which I am not sure which one.
I select "Auto Scan" and iGuidance said it's on COM PORT 4, but that is the COM PORT I reserved for my Bluetooth GPS. However, when it auto-scan, the Bluetooth GPS is not connected.
So if anyone can tell me the actual COM PORT, I can manually add it to iGuidance.
Dude, I'll reply with "Do a search"
com4, but it won't work with iguidance or tomtom without a launcher to properly open the port. Those older programs have not been updated to properly use the GPSID (intermediate driver) windows offers. And our gps is handled entirely by the gpsid.
Search this forum for the thread AstroGPSLauncher.
ok i just got a vpa compact 3, with herms 200.
its running wm6.1 custom, in the setting/system/connections tabi have an externat gps settings, when entering that i have the elusive com 9, can someone explain how i can configure this to be used with tomtom 6, as i also have this program.
G'day, when you 1st start tomtom it will take you through a setup prcedure. Miles or kilometres, time, etc.... It will also ask what type of gps receiver to use and after selecting you can choose what com port....
BUT first... I find it easier if you go to com manager (afte 1st disabling external GPS settings) and pairing gps receiver manually, then after it pairs, tick serial port. Go to comm ports (at bottom of bluetooth menu) and create a new one. It should list your GPS receiver.. Pick whatever com port you wish (please note that com 3 is "unavailable"). I use com port 4 with a lot of success.
Hope this helps...Cheers...
