Did anyone try using the GPS software from a Navigon PND (not the Mobile Navigator) on a HD2? If so, what was your experience?
Since the base OS on both the devices is windows based and I like the routing algorithm of Navigon, I wanted to try it, but before doing that I wanted to know if anyone has already tried that.....

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,
I am currently trying both http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21 oand the description on http://thinkabdul.com/2007/09/22/ha...ng-dun-profile-on-windows-mobile-6-pocket-pc/ to get the DUN profile to work on my official HTC WM6 ROM (German) on the X7500, however, the DUN profile does not show up whatever I tried.
From what I researched, the bthatci.dll has a hardcoded reference to COMx: (where x comes from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/BTHATCI), but HKLM/ExtModems/bluetooth_dun points to BSP3: (BSP=board support package? function not implemented?). However, I cannot patch bthatci.dll because it is digitally signed by MS and I cannot get it to install via a self-made cab.
The BT DUN profile is important to me because the TomTom Rider motorcycle satnav system cannot use the PAN profile (network sharing).
Anyone able to help?
Greetings,
Andreas
did you find the solution, i'm also trying to find a solution for this
Hi!
The latest version of WMWiFiRouter (1.51) has this functionality (as well as many other futures). Not only it can share 3G\HSDPA connection over Bluetooth, it can even share USB connection over WiFi
WBR, Draco.
Thank you Drakosha, but this uses ICS I think, and the problem is that TomTom Go uses only DUN !!
I tried this WMWIFI, but it didn't work.
Or do I have to uninstall the BT_DUN?
I'm confused ...
Hi,
I tried several tools (aNetShare, tetherBlu, Wifi tether) but I can't tether my MacBook to my Hero!
Bluetooth: my Mac is telling me, that no additional BT-service is available except the speakers. I.e. no PAN is available.
Wifi: my Mac shows me the Hero as an access point. But connecting to it has no effect, neither on the Hero neither on my MacBook (except the wifi-icon on the mac is changing to a small console, but greyed out).
Of course, I have rooted my Hero and it's working (tried with several tools). Is tethering Hero and MacBook an impossible mission?
Android doesn't support PAN, only HFP and A2DP.
I haven't tried the apps you mention. DO any of them specifically say that they add PAN to the device?
I'm not familiar with this bluetooth stuff, but with other phones, my MacBook tethers over bluetooth with PAN connection. That's why I assumed that type of connection here, too.
No, not possible with Android.
Like i said, the Android OS only supports HFP and A2DP. If those apps do not specifically add the PAN profile to the hero, and i very much doubt that they do, then you're not gonna get anywhere.
If you need to use the phone as a modem with your mac, you're S.O.L with android!
I have messed around trying to tether my Hero with my Mac book air for a couple of weeks and tried pretty much everthing without any sucess. All the wifi tether apps out there dont seem to like macs and bluetooth failed too.
In the end I found a working solution but its not ideal - however it does work.
Installed Pararellls desktop ( Vmware would probably work too if it has good USB support - never tried it)
Installed windows XP as virtual OS
Installed PDAnet for windows ( mac version doesnt exist )
Installed Phone drivers under windows virtual machine
So now I run windows as virtual machine to tether my HTC hero with my Mac, it works well most of the time, unless the connection is dropped then Pdanet cant see the internet connection any more and requires an OS reboot.
I hope this saves some of you guys the time I lost
naaa.. get the modaco custom rom.
the android-wifi-tether app issue is present for macs and pcs, it is actually do to the hero itself and not your computer, you need to get the custom rom (awifiteth comes pre-installed) and that works perfectly on my macbook!
the custom rom adds iptable support and so it now works..
Is it not possible to make an app that injects this code into the official firmware running Hero's ?
Also, I guess the telco's are helping ensure the manufactures disable any possible way to tether as they have no current mechanism to charge for it unless you buy one of their dongles and pay though the nose for another contract

No, the official firmware is "non-rooted," meaning that you and your downloaded apps won't be able to access the Linux system on a read-write basis, which is necessary for tethering apps, as they likely all need to change the iptables to alter the way network routing occurs within the phone.
But possible once someone works out how to root the latest firmware ?
If someone does this, I would pay gladly for the app if it allowed me to use the Hero as a 3G/HSDPA modem.
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?

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....

After upgrading to ICS from CheckROM V6 (ginger bread) I seem to have lost the rSAP or SIM access profile. Has this been removed from ICS, can anyone confirm which profiles are supported in ICS?
I could go back to GB to test that it's not my car that is at fault as it stopped working after I got my car back from the dealership.
Thanks for your help.
Well it's not my car, I downloaded the rSAP application from the market and installed it. This now gives me the rSAP profile and I can connect to my car in rSAP mode or HFP mode.
So it seems it's missing from ICS, that might make the SIII a no go depending on how good this little app is in the real world.
Apps from the market
Remote SIM access installation
Remote SIM access trial
Which ICS ROM did you upgrade to? I would expect Stock based ROMS to have rSAP and AOSP/AOKP ones to not have this support...
If you look on the google android code site, you will find it is a common problem so it seems to be stock roms that it refers to.
