I am trying to run tomtom 5 navigator on my xda1 (wallaby).
Although the program installs and runs okay, it will not connect to or see the attached gps device. I have tried a later spv1500 or similar to Xda2 and it sees the gps device straight away.The cradle i use was originally for a XDA!!i but an xda, xda II and a spv all share the same connection interface there, so shouldnt be a problem.
I read somewhere about changing the rom to a later windows 2003second edition, which i have succesfully done. The SPV and xdaII both have the above rom version, and both work okay on the cradle. Allthree devices also work okay and all connect using activesync on the PC cradle.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you disabled beam?
Stefan
Thank you Lumpistefan,
I have spent Hours/days trying to get this old girl working, and now in a space of two mins switching the beam off, its working great!!!
Thanks very much.
Andy
Thanks
omg thanks Stefan !
Spent 3-4 hrs and couldnt make it work, tought that gps not function properly, and how stupid I am, in searching for the solution found this answer but didnt realized that you are speaking about IRDA BEAM, tought that that is some satellite gps beam
But in the end, couple of hours later I ve realized which beam you mentioned
Thanks man !
Query on Tom Tom on Wallaby (xda 1)
This thread indicates that Blue Tooth can be enabled on XDA 1 Wallabys. I have not been successful in finding an SD Blue tooth adaptor for this model. Is there a conversion that is possible to convert SD to SDIO or is this Tom Tom an SD only GPS card?
no it dont it's about freeing a com port which the wired gps needs to work by disabling ir beam which takes hold of the same com port
no way i ever heard about can add bluetooth to wallabys

Hi,
Have just got my Navman and was hoping it would be a simple solution to connect to my XDA, but not so.
I've down loaded the BTHTools1012.exe and run it from my desktop, also have loaded EnableCharPin.exe onto my PocketPC.
When I do a bond bluetooth, it finds the Navman. When the passkey dialog box comes up I run EnableCharPin.exe but nothing seems to happen, so enter "NAVMAN" into orginal dialo box.
With the next step linking the COM port I only get Comm 7 as being avavible and when I run the Bluetooth settings from Inbound port is COMM4 but uncheck and Outbound is COMM5 checked. When start is pressed it says that need to bond.
Could some please help
XDA info is:
ROM: 1.60.00WWE the latest for Australia
ROM date: 12/3/03
Radio: 1.08.00
Protocol: 1337.18
ExtROM: 1.60.44
I also loaded SmartST V2 and it ran first time fast. Now it seams at the point of the PPC hanging. I,ve got the maps on a SD card (512M with about 235M free) and 24M for storage and 33M for programs on the XDA. I loaded 3 state maps totalling about 52M on the SD.
Thanks Gordon
Did you unbond and delete your navman before you installed the bluetooth tools?
I had Bt tools installed before I attempted to bod.
I have now also deleted BT Tools altogther but still cannot bond.
I must admit that just after my first post here I did notice that my XDA was not set to recieve "incoming beams". Activating this did not do a thing even with resets.
Thanks for your thoughts and have you got any other suggestions apart from me ring Navman on Monday (I'm in Sydney OZ).
Thanks Gordon
Its a tricky process, but mine is finally working with an XDA II, no blutooth tools and on COM 5. You definately need to DESELECT 'Receive all incoming beams" as if you are set to receive incoming beams, then it seems to interfer with the GPS set up and COM ports
Try selecting COM 5 as the port on the Navman and amke sure that "incoming beams are OFF" on the XDA.
I suggest you start over, uncheck the beams box, install bthtools, install enablecharpin, discover and bond the navman, let us know what happens.
Hi,
Well I did something along the lines of "start over, uncheck the beams box, install bthtools, install enablecharpin, discover and bond the navman" etc but not neccessarily in that order and finally got the thing to work.
Thanks for everyones comments. If I had not tried so many permitation, then I could heve been able to tell all what I actually did!
Now that the SmartST is working, my next task is to use topographic maps wth one of teh follwoing I'm about to try, GarmapCE, GPSDash, PSeasyCE etc. Any suggestions?
Gordon
Glad you got it working in the end. I really like the Navman Smart ST 2 software and their tech support is very good to.
You might check out "MapTech" for topo maps and nautical charts. You can purchace CD's or a subscription that lets you download unlimited maps and charts. If you play golf, and you want to use your GPS to help you pick a club or find out the distance to that bunker in front of the green, "Star Caddy" is fun too!!
Be sure to do a backup now its configured correctly, it may save some hair pulling later if you ever have to hard reset.
I'm trying to use the Navigon 5 with my Emtac Crux II Bluetooth GPS, but everytime I start it, all is ok, but after 2 or 5 minutes I lose the GPS signal, but the GPS is working ok.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using WM2003SE.
In TomTom 5 all works fine.
Thanks
Sorry I post in english, but this is an international site and we must communicate in comon language.
Did you chek at www.navigon.com the compability to your gps receiver?
I'm waiting for my software to try this program and after try it I can send you a feed back.
For now I can post hear the FAQ about GPS, in Navigon site:
"Can I still use my old GPS Receiver with MN|5?
Yes, all GPS receivers offered by NAVIGON so far (including those with TMC) can be used with MN|5 as well as all other GPS receivers that are NMEA compatibel and transmit VTG and GGA signals. This is expected to be a standard with almost any receiver available and can be checked at the producer's website."
I know that your gps, like mine because are the same, use all those protocols, so you must see if you have a bluetooth problem or if the protocols are recognized by the software.
Regards
Marcus
change the poi from the maps of tt3 and put it in the maps on the maps of tt5. it will fix the problem.
I already searched Navigon site for some answers and I got nothing, and yes my GPS is compatible, it's in the list.
I'm talking about Navigon 5, not TomTom 5.
I have different problem with Navigon|5 (maybe the same ? )
Here is my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23612&highlight=
Did you install version for PPC2002 or WM2003? I've read, that version for PPC2002 works more stable i faster.
Did you switch your GPS into correct mode ? GGA=1 and VTG=1 ?
I think, that your any my problem are the same because my Navigon5 works correct as long as it doesn't fix gps signal.
Where did you install navigon software (RAM or SD card) ?
Did you try to communicate with navigon's support ? I tried many times and didn't get any answer.
I'm really disappointed, how this software works.
Regards
Darek
I think that I found the sorce of my problem.
My problem is that i'm using a cracked version of Navigon 5, and for what I read the crack don't work well and after some time of use the connection with my GPS falls.
I hope I can find a working crack somewere.
lo all
ive read through all the stuff i cn find on here bout setting up tomtom 5 and im still none the wiser, ive tried setting it as other NMEA device, bluetooth device, all the comports, downloaded bluetooth tools etc...
so can somebody tell me in idiotproof terms please, how do i get my MDA (original version runnin WM2003SE), tomtom5 and a BT-77 bluetooth GPS receiver running?
many thanks
andy
If it is really a MDA (Version I) than it do not have any Bluetooth support otherwise, there are several threads here in the forum about this problem, and also on the support site of tomtom.....

tomtom probs
hi
ok i think i had the same prob as you
i has paired up my gps device but was not getting an option to activate it on tomtom, this was version 5 , but when i upgraded to 5.21 hey presto!! i got about 5 extra com port options as to the 2 i was getting with the version before
maybe the version 5 just isnt really the mda's friend !!
Have a look at THIS adding this to your device should get you going once configured - Mike
I recently got a Navmav Spin 100 which is actually the Navman 4400 receiver plus SmartST software. I seem to be able to pair successfully but I can not get tomtom 6 to talk to it, it just doesn't see the device ("no GPS device"). I have tried the SmartST software but can't install it as I need to transfer it over to mini-sd and it insists on checking the original sd card which I obviously can't plug in.
Anyone ever got this Navman 4400 to connect to an O2 XDS Mini-S or similar? I have flashed to WM6 but I don't think that should be a problem as I tried it on a friend's Vario unflashed and had the same problems.

Did you try the GPS manager? The GPS needs to be on a COMM port, or example I set mine to Comm 6. GPS manager will then allow you to set a different comm for other programs to use it. For example, I set that comm to 7, so the GPS device is actually using 6, but the software is connecting to it via GPS manager on 7. You should already have GPS manager if your running WM6. It should be somewhere in your systems menus.
yes I did try that and I have tried various combinations, e.g. hardware on COM 7 and program on COM 9, it doesn't seem to make much difference. On one setup with hardware on COM 7 and getting tomtom to connect to a generic GPS bluetooth adapter on COM 7, bypassing the GPS manager it looks like the spinny circle turns 1/4 and swaps between no gps device and no gps signal.
In this scenario the blue flash LED stops flashing twice quickly onto a slower single flash, I think this means it is conencted?? it only does this for a short period of time though before going back to the double flashing.
im using a bt-gps(nokia) receiver and tom tom 6.
i set up a new partnership between the receiver and the phone via bluetooth first. then set up the bt-gps as an outgoing comm port (com6).
then restarted.......then installed tomtom6.......found and connect to com6 no problem.
I ended up getting a navicore really small unit (rebadged holux 240) and it worked first time. No idea why the navman wouldn't work.
I've connected bluetooth GPS to 3125, seemed to be OK (it asked about pin and after that info about equipment beeing connected).
Unfortunatelly GPS software doesn't communicate with GPS equipment. It is searching for bluetooth GPS but doesn't find it. I tried to set connection (port, baud rate) manually but I don't know which COM port is assigned to bluetooth
Is there any way to check this on ?
P.S. I've installed WM6.1 standard by Erofich
try 6.1 pro
I found that bluetooth is using COM6.
The biggest problem was in finding properly working GPS software
hi bchrubas,
Which GPS software are you actually using on WM6.1 standard?
I tried WM6.1 pro for a while but found WM6.1 standard more handsome since I manly want to use my phone simply as a phone
Anyway I'm still missing a good GPS program for navigation which is not intended for touch screen devices.
For now I stucked with Sygic McGuider (http://www.sygic.com/)
It doesn't need touch screen and StarTrek (or At&T 3125) is on the list of compatibile devices. MCGuider runs on STK quite fairly, I didn't noticed any major errors, maybe if it was little faster? (I know that it is possible to overclock this phone but i'm not quite sure about it
Anyhow, I'm stiil searching for some simple GPS track loging software
I looked around a bit and on smartphone-freeware.com I found these two programs:
gpsVP
chtiGPS
both seem to be able to do the loging. And the first one might even be worth trying as a navigation software for me.
not bad, especially this gpsVP
if it really support Garmin format maps it could be very useful
