Hi! i search an application for do Tmc (Traffic Message Channel) on my android in use the FM radio in direct not with a gps application
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel

no news ???
no news ???
I looked into this but such an application is not yet available.
it's special cause there's not a lot of radio in the car who have this and Android have nothing ... but in reality it works reak fine

After two years same question
İs there any news for tmc support on the android?
No i have no news about tmc on android
it didn't work with cygic with the old version, i didn't try with the new
I was looking for this too, It will be awsome to be able to have TMC on my phone.
agree
I'm also interested in this. It would be nice to use the existing accessories from Tomtom and others.
Theoretically it is possible. As far as I understood you need a TMC receiver, which reads the normal FM signal in and strips the multiplexed traffic data out. What it presents then (via USB) would be just a sequence of serial data which can be read by every navigation application. I am currently trying to retrieve a TMC receiver with USB (and no charger included) and it normally needs just a c0210x kernel object loaded (and some app to tell the system where the serial data needs to be presented to).
This is all theoretical, but IGO or Navigon for example should be able to read /dev/ttyUSBx in Android as well as normal COM ports in Win CE - I think
Any luck??

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
RDS-TMC Tomtom Traffic antenna mini USB has a mini usb connection. i was woundering if anybody had used this to try and connect to the Touch HD for using for the tomtom traffic feture ?? would love to know and if possible ?
With some drivers (you can find Hypergps on xda) you can use the headset as tmc antenna.

try it, on igo8 work fine!
TomTom 7 for PDA's does not have the option for receiving TMC data - it can only receive traffic information via GPRS data connection to the server.
Thanks for the information guys. Tomtom 7 dont support it, i just realised but am hoping in the future vertion 8 comes along which does support it. tmc-rds is free in the UK.
works with iGo by the look of things.
will have to wait and see if tomtom vertion 8 gets on to ppc's.
i upgraded my old tomtom one to latest vertion. shame ppcs still only got vertion 7.
thanks agian for the info.
cheers
Hi Ppl.,
I'm starting a new project with this thread.
Goal is to get TMC running within Navigation Software on X10.
As we all know from the specs and my determining over here, that there is no FM Chip assembled to the X10.
But our User drobec208 had the Idea to make use of an external bluetooth / TMC device.
The Idea is to use the "FM9BT-C", made by GNS GmbH with "usually TMCable" navigation software. (Nice side affect: FM9BT-C also brings a 5V, 1A USB Charger ).
I ordered one FM9BT-C and received it yesterday.
As I make use of Sygic mobile maps for Android, I knew from the .ini files, that TMC is just deactivated after stock installation of Sygic.
Within the folder: "\sdcard\Drive\Android\" you can find the .ini files too.
But now, I'm a little stuck.
I can't even connect FM9BT-C to X10.
Pairing works fine, but the my phone shows: "Paired but not connected".
I also can't connect both devices.
I guess, it's the same issue, like I had with my Bluetooth keyboard:
Android 1.6 is simply not capable for HID Devices.
So I guess its same with the TMC Device.
The TMC Device needs to be set up with a COM Port.
But atm I don't even get so far.
So guys, whats your advice?
Any Devs around, that can help out?
Do I have to wait for 2.1 this month?
Is Android not TMC capable at all?
Kind regards,
McK
O.k., as far as I could determine myself, a Bluetooth COM Port is needed for sure.
But how can I set it up in Android?
Is is that impossible with 1.6?
if it's connected via BT I'm affraid the problem is limited Bluetooth profiles support on 1.6. The USB on FM9BT-C is just for charging?
O.k., I feared something like that.
As the Update to 2.1 will come in a few Weeks, we will see more, after it was released.
Du you know something about the profiles in 2.1?
Japp, the USB connector is for charging only.
not much, just google I'm waiting for 2.x just because of BT profiles and my SE MBW-150 support via OpenWatch http://beta.smartmadsoft.com/

http://www.google.com/support/forum...n&fid=40c6f9447eac44e600047f171034e819&hltp=2
otherwise I'm affraid we have to wait for 2.2
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html#PlatformTechnologies
I've also recently found this Thread in a German Forum:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/439320-post42.html
Roughly, fast and only the important thing translated: Wit Android 2.1 for X10, the Bluetooth Stack will be updated to Bluetooth V 2.1, which introduces:
- secure simple pairing
- GAP Generic Access Profile
- GOEP Generic Object Exchange Profile
- OPP Object Push Profile
- PBAP Phonebook Access Profile
- SPP Serial Port Profile
So, we have to wait a little more....
@MBW-150: OMG? S///E X10 isn't supporting a S///E Bluetooth Watch... *[email protected]///E*
Uhm, bad news.
I still get "paired but not connected".
Even after updating to 2.1.
I guess the connection has to be initiated by software (like on the bluetooth keyboards).
Does anybody know the name or so of the bluetooth com port?
I'd try to connect through Sygic Mobile Maps.
hi, I'm not glad to hear that.
what happens if you try to find TMC device from within the Sygic?
P.S: My MBW-150 finaly works with X10

Unfortunately: Nothing...
My last hope is to set the bluetooth comport manually within Sygic.
With a little chance, it will activate the connection if it knows the way...
But I don't know the port
Is there an app, to list the ports or so?
maybe http://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/ ?
Uhm... I have no idea how to use that App
Do anyone have idea for connecting Archos IT device to WM for using GPS function of WM.
I am thinking that it should be possible that Archos IT using BT to connect to WM phone to get the coordination and display the map in Android.
I don't know whether this is such application already available in the market, the simplest way I can think of is using some application in WM to generate the coordination to a file, and Android app will get such file from WM to get the coordination. Any idea?
i write this news

thank you for your page. I am using WM phone instead of android phone, also I can't find any app in that page.
But from your page, I got some idea that WM phone can be act as a GPS receiver, and I found that there is a wm app call GpsGate that can turn WM phone into a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I have already installed the GpsGate, and will try to try it out tonight.
GPS gate is ok but phone GPS isn't great and you may want to tether as well.
BT GPS is cheaper than the software (software works but my globslsat bt-359 is so much better).
John
I use the GPSGate is not because of the cost issue. If my mobile phone can become a gps receiver, I don't need to bring one more device to go outside.
I use GPS2Blue...works great....

I have a Microsoft external USB GPS that I got like 5 years ago with MS streets and trips.
Do you guys know if this will work with the Gtab? I know this bad boy has this USB host so I suppose it would all come down to drivers.
Yes, it should work fine. I use an old bluetooth GPS device for navigation...
You have to side load blue gps apk (search this forum) and configure it to override the 'phone' GPS settings.

+1 I'm sure you can make this happen. Long road but worth the payoff. Wouldn't hurt to let us know when you got it up and working ;-)
The problem will be that as you move around (in a car for example) your google map will not update since it has no connection to the internet so you will soon have a blank page with a little blue dot moving around on it. If you have rooted your phone and you can tether the g-pad to it so it can get updates then it would probably work. At that point though, you are carrying the g-tab, the phone and an external gps receiver so why not just use the gps ini your phone or by a cheap garmin?
Better off using copilot, maps are stored locally so not internet connection is required.

The GTab will work with an external Bluetoothj GPS, it will most likely not work with a USB connected GPS which is what you say you have. If it has Bluetooth, Get CoPilot and Blue GPS and you should be all set.
You'll probably need to install a kernal module
