I've been given a Nokia LD-3W bluetooth GPS receiver.
My Hermes finds it ok but when I try to connect using the passkey "0000" that the documentation says it pairs, then straight away unpairs, if I try to connect I keep getting the "passkey invalid" response.
Can any knowledgeable soul help me with my predicament
Now solved, don't ask me how....after hours of fiddling it just worked

I have been using my XDA II for a few weeks very successfully with the TomTom3 navigator software and a GPS receiver connected to the serial port (on COM1). Then I decided to install the Bluetooth tools from http://bluetooth.i-networx.de to try and use my phone with a Nokia bluetooth car kit. Unfortunately it didn't work, but now COM1 is unavailable.
When I run my TomTom navigator, I now get the error message 'COM1 is unavailable', and I've noticed in ActiveSync that if I go File>Connection Settings, it shows COM1 as unavailable and greyed out in the selection box.
Performing a Hard Reset hasn't cured the problem.
Does anyone know how to make COM1 available again?
Have you check if infrared (beam) is disabled?
Thats in most cases the problem....

Hello,
I paired my GlobalSat BT-338 with my 8125 and selected outgoing COM7. I added this to the TomTom "Other Bluetooh" configuration. I get the yellow/black icon to spin but it says "No valid GPS signal!"
When I try to select "Other NMEA GPS" I cannot select COM7 or COM6 (the only ones available on my 8125 outgoing comport setup screen).
I tried emailing GlobalSat but they have not responded as of yet.
Has anyone else overcome this problem?

No valid signal means that the pairing is okay, just that the gps-unit isn't receiving good enough signals.. did you try it outside?
Bluetooth GPS units with TomTom 5.xx
I've managed to pair 4 different GPS units with my Wizard, no problems.
Go into the System Blootooth settings, pair the device and add an outgoing port on COM6 - make sure you UNCHECK the SECURE CONNECTION box...
Then in TomTom, GPS config, select Other Bluetooth Device and then select COM6.
Hope this helps...
First time round your going to have use it outside so it has a clear sight of the sky, once thats achieved it should work even indoors
"No Valid GPS Signal!" Problem Conquered!
Thank you for your help with this. I did as you suggested, I chose COM6 and unchecked secure connection. Then I went outside and got 7 full bars! After about a minute or so of still saying "No valid GPS signal!" suddenly they all went blue and data started popping up in the windo. I clicked done and now TomTom works great!
Thank you very much! I never had to set up my HP4705 in this manner. It connected in the house the first time without any problems. It never dawned on me to bring it outside as you suggested. :roll:
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.

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!

"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.

I have a TomTom Go 910 and an M3100 running WM6.
I have been using the hands-free BT connection with no problem.
However, I recently tried to set up a data connection to access TomTom Plus services through the phone over BT, and the setup routine fails every time. (I have no problem connecting to the internet over WAP from the phone in general).
Of course, TomTom support refuse to help, telling me that the phone is not supported for the 910. According to them I should not even be able to use the hands-free feature...
Before I go spending hours trying different ROMs and BT stacks etc., does anyone out there have the same setup (even with a 710 or 510) and got it to work? (No point wasting time if they are simply not compatible and no one has actually got it to work).
Thanks for your help
My very basic guess is that you need to use the Internet Connection Sharing program on windows mobile, as just paring the devices won't do anything.
So I guess I fire ICS up and and choose Bluetooth PAN and then try to see if TomTom sees it.?
I'll try tonight and report back.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Let us know how it goes. But isn't WM6 lacking either PAN or DUN that's required to establish the connection?
No luck using ICS

Well, I tried it... no luck. TomTom still insists on going through a DUN setup routine (entering access point, GPRS dial-up number, etc.) and promptly fails both with automatic and manual setup. It does not detect the PAN already running with ICS connected.
I wonder if DUN can be ported back to WM6 with CABs from WM5?
Any other ideas?
Hello,
Is anyone know how to turn the Titan into a GPS gateway?
I found that the screen on the Titan is very small. I happens to have an iPAQ with bigger screen. I want to use the iPAQ as a GPS.
The problem is, I have loaded the GPS program on the iPAQ but was unable to obtain a Com port connection using the BT from the Titan.
Thanks
I believe gpsGate will do the trick for you.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have downloaded and trying to configure.
I have no luck of getting the Titan to share the GPS over the BT connection.
Anyone know if there is any way?
Thanks
