Hi guys, like most here I use xda2 as a sat nav aswell. I had tomtom 5 working on my xda fine running 2003se. I thought I could try the new wm5 and see what everyone else is playing with. However I cant get my gps to talk with tomtom. Now this is what i have tried.
1) Installed tomtom5 running and well fixed backlight worries.
2) Paired Bluetooth GPS reciever with XDA, selected serial port service.
3) Added an outgoing port com5 with the GPS
4) Used a patch i found which made com5 visiable to tomtom.
5) Changed preferences to other bluetooth gps and selected com5.
6) Nothing happens is says no gps device found.
P.S I ran Naviman and that works fine but I prefere TOMTOM.
I have attached a pic of my gps reciever.
Im really stuck and would love to get it to work. It worked fine on 2003se maybe I should go back.lol
Did you guys realize all WM6 versions posted here have Bluetooth Problems ?
Does any1 of you try using a bluetooth GPS with tomtom and wm6 on prophet ?
Here is the problem. On preferences of bluetooth you can add connections then link them. after that you do virtual ports on wich the connection is selected.
Now here comes the buggy part. on wm5 it worked you could choose Incoming and Outgoing ports wich is needed to control and link to a external GPS device. Since crystal, shadow ... and all these roms its not possible to define a Incoming Port thats why TOMTOM in my case does not work anymore. if i downgrade to wm5 and set a incoming port everything runs fine.
Do you know something about this Problem ?
i am currently using tomtom6 with a holux gps bluetooth receiver and i have no problems. you just have to pair your devices and then setup an outgoing com port. even if bluetooth is off, tomtom manages to activate it and connect to my gps device - tested on crystalV5
same here with holux. just pair devices, make outgoing port, setup gps in tomtom, and no problemo. no need for an incoming port.
What problems?
I have been flashing the different WM6 roms and I have no problems whatsoever in using them with my BT GPS. Do the actions by the two previous posts before me and you should not have a problem. Cheers!
It looks like it is not a bug but a feature you describe! Keep in mind that newer software is developped to make things easier...
I use Totom with the original Tomtom BT receiver and I don't have to make any setting or pairing at all. All is taken care of by Tomtom and WM without any interaction by me. Convinient!

I am having exactly the same problem as you. I have used different WM6.1 rom and the "New Incoming Port" option doesn't show up after i connect my Holux GPS receiver..
yes ihave the same problem with the shadows roms ( TE & CE & ... )
use the korand 3.1 rom thats good ( not have BT problem )
sorry of my english
I have SLIM BT GPS some problem with Google Maps - but I have overcome them by manually setting the GPS in Google Maps options. Woks cool..
From the other hand I have strange problems with sending files from other devices to my JAMin.
I am not sure but the solution is to remove JAMin from the list of paired devices on PC/NOKIA and then You can send files to JAMin. If JAMin is on the list of paired devices - sending do not work.
Best
Use or NDrive I have no problem at WM6
cannot create BT handsfree profile
I'm using Korand's WWE 3.1, WM6.1 ROM - it is excellent, thanks Korand for your work
The only issue I have is with the BT: I have linked up TomTom, and CompeLand via GPSGate fine, and everything works perfectly. However, I have not been able to completely pair my car handsfree.
It took a while to add the device, but I eventually managed it. In settings/Devices, if I press & hold on this device, I get just edit or delete, but set as Hands-free, set as Wireless Stereo are greyed out.
And in the Com ports tab, there should be an option for New Outgoing Port, but it's blank, so I can't tell WM how to connect this device.
Would any kind soul know how to resolve this (any cabs?)

possible solution to BT ports issue
Posted this on Korand 3.1 WWE (WM6.1), posting it here so that the information is not missed:
in the Output tab of GPS gate, you can add all sorts of ports, including COM ports.
Once you decide to choose the Add COM port option, you can then choose which COM port you want to add. I added COM3 and COM6. I had all sort of problems after that, the device was maxing out on processor and memory. So I removed COM3, and the device runs OK again.
I suspect - and hope - that COM6 is the one for my car handsfree, since I had it running whilst both these ports were enabled. I need to research this a bit more, but it's promising so far
(there is also a virtual activesync port which runs very well for syncing).
These COM ports do not show up in the BT COM ports tab, nor is the "new outgoing port" option available, but this seems to be the way to go
People that have BT problems and they are using any WM6.1 in my opinion they must go back to WM6 and your problem is solved.
I've tried A LOT of WM6.1 and i had problems with BT. But any WM6 rom works fine to me.
I think we should wait for a WM7 (when it comes some day ) to see if the problem is solved. At the mid -time stick with WM6 imo.
Hi
I seem to have a problem with TomTom 7 and my touch dual.
I can pair my BT device with my phone. after that i can connect it to tomtom and it will see it as a GPS device and I have a signal. So far so good.
Then it starts:
When i close tomtom and open it again, tomtom does not see my BT device anymore and thus no GPS unit and signal. I have to delete the BT connection and create it again to get it working.
Can somebody please help me out with this? I am using Niki Project Rom Editor v2.1.3.
Please help me with this issue as this is very frustrating!!
Hello all,
I'm using Tom Tom navigator and an external GPS device for the Himalaya.
Nowadays some softwares allow the GPS to find the satellites faster (eg HTC QuickGPS).
Is there any soft around we could adapt to the Himalaya using Windows Mobile 6 ?
Thanks
