GPS Receiver for JASJAR and Brodit Holder - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

What you want to buy is one of these. Now my JASJAR runs TOMTOM while sitting in my Brodit charging nicely with no worry of Bluetooth GPS running out of power. MINT

I believe that the original OP has said that he is using this on a universal with WM5!

Am I being dim or wouldn't this sit at the bottom of the device when using the exec in portrait mode? I'm assuming that the Brodit holder can cater for this?

Yes it would sit at the bottom. The Brodit has no problem with this.

Can anyone confirm that this works on the exec and wm5 as neither are listed as supported/compatable.

If you look here: http://www.usglobalsat.com/item.asp?itemid=17&catid you will find you can download the NEW driver with WM5 support.
Take a look at the picture. Sweet! I know the GPS isn't plugged in, but it soon will be.

Looks good..
They were quick with the new driver!!
Let us know how it works with the Exec as my money is burning a hole in my pocket!

what about haicom-405 BT?

Alanplum - I have just brought a SD-502 to go with my O2-Exec - can you tell me what settings you used in GPS Info to get it working...or if you did anything else because i am struggling!
Thanks!

GAAAAAAHHH! Just received my SD-502 today and it does NOT work with the JASJAR. It is a driver problem. Lets hope they bring out a new one soon. It works with my PDA2k.

Received this from US Globalsat:
In reply to your original inquiry... We do have a plan to have sd-502 support PDAs manufactured by HTC( High Tech Corp.)In which, i-Mate Jasjar is part of.
Unfortunately, we do not produce the Sd-502 drivers. These drivers are developed by a third party software company. In result, we can't control the development schedule. Therefore, its difficult to predict driver releases

anyone really got the device?
waiting for T-mobile to call to get mine....
Hi!
I have already ordered the MDA compact at the local T-online Shop in Weil am Rhein (D) 'caus I live nearby in Basle (CH). Although online it seems available, they are still awaiting delivery :?.
Anynone knows when they actually get to the stores? The shop is getting crazy with me I think, I call almost every 2-3 days to know some news when its coming, he he he. :lol:

hi,
I just received mine from t-mobile Germany yesterday.
It looks great. It's very stylish and superbly manufactured. I was looking for a small pda-phone I can carry around in my pocket and my Qtek 2020 was a little bit to bulky.
This machine is great. Not much bigger then my Siemens S65.
So far it runs every program I had on my Qtek.
GPS is fine via BT and TomTom 3 is running well.
The SD-card-slot works with my 1 GB Transcend SD-Card and my SAN-DISK WLAN Card.
Windows Mobile SE is a big step forward concerning the display settings supporting different font sizes and landscape setting.
The included mini-usb cable is capable of charging and syncing the device simultanously.
Included software is also nice. Truefax, GPRS Monitor, Clearview, voice dialing software.
Didn't have a change to check the battery.
by the way. is there a solution to show the contact info of sent sms?
hi andilein, would you mind to post some photo for us ?

Advice needed: Moving from XDA II to JAM

As I'm giving up from getting my Xda II up to the task of BT Syncing AND BT handsfree, I ordered an i-mate Jam from Expansys.
As my order is on backlog due to lack of stock (more than 3 weeks now) I'm having time to wonder about my "incoming" new toy.
So I have a few questions for the more "JAM" experience users:
:?:
1.- Is BT operational with HandsFree devices? I mean carkits and the like.
2.- Is the BT stack having problems to ActiveSync with Win XP SP2?
3.- Any rumours about the new 2005 version? When will I-mate ship it?
4.- Are the most recent units coming with the flaws fixed? I read about bad sound, blurry pictures, a patched radio protocol, etc.
5.- Is any application known by not running on the JAM?
Thanks for commenting, I'll post my findings when my unit arrives.
BTW does anyone need a perfectly working XDAII?
:wink:
No help?
Ok, Should I admit there are not any problems around? Is anyone out there moved from XDA-II willing to help?
Thanks.
:wink: :?:
Great Move.
I changed my XDAII for a Jam and I'm extremely happy :lol:
No sound issues also bluetooth headset Motorola 810 connects fine. Camera is not too good but I guess thats the only flaw.

Hi zedeff! Thanks for info!
Just wondering: Is anyone using a BT carkit? Since this is a common problem with XDA II, I'm a bit worried about.
:wink: :?:
considering a switch
i'm quite happy with my xdaII except that i find it bulky.. i'm seriously thinking of getting the xdaII mini (aka magician). any comments? bad reviews? suggestions?
btw, i'm looking for a fair market where i can sell my xdaII here in manila in case i do decide to buy the mini. any ideas? :wink:
Me too!
I'm also considering moving from the XDA2. My XDA2 has been great although not without one or two issues (getting BT working with a GPS receiver - not for the newbies!). I was considering the XDA2s and XDA2i but have read about issues with both. Now the XDA2 mini looks fantastic as I often wish I had a smaller phone without sacrificing the features. Has anyone else taken the plunge?

Which Bluetooth GPS receivers work flawlessly with Wizard?

First time buyer of GPS unit and I need help choosing the right one. Thanks.
Btw, has to work in the UK.
I wouldn't dare say flawless , but the last 2 times i went to GB i didnt experience any problems with my current GPS receiver which is the
Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receiver 6033
this model is generally 20-30euros more expensive than the standard ones but it uses an advanced chipset to even get fixes in buildings and tunnels and can maintain more connections at once.
Manufacturers Site
Cheap one from www.mobilefun.co.uk
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm
£40! and works a treat.
Probably not as good as the Rikaline or the Holux 236 which is by far the best i've tried but for they are nearly double the price
Even uses the same kind of charger as the Wizard so effectively you get a free in-car charger for you PPC thrown in.
I successfully use a generic Nemerix based GPS mouse from adapt. You can find these rather cheap GPS device in many varities (lots of OEM manufacturers) on eBay.
In conjunction with TT5.2 it works like a charm.
Any suggestions for a good light GPS to fasten in the helmet. I have plans to track my routes during mountainbike tours.
GPS...
What a topic...
I have spent some time investigating the options for me...
I am a newbie on the PPC front and I am after my first GPS set up too...
OK everyone points at TomTom as the best option...is this so?
Any feedback will be greatly received and if I do go for it, I will probably go for their bundle...
For those running TTN5 on thier Wizards, please advise the speed and any issues...many thanks...

TomTom is also my #1 for road navigation.
What are the best choices for free-time navigation? Some candidates:
Pathaway, http://www.pathaway.com/pathaway3wm.htm, WM5 compatible?
OziExplorer, http://www.oziexplorer.com/
cant fault the holux 236
Nemerix
Hi,
I am using this GPS mouse (NEMERIX V3.0 Ultra Low Power Chipset). Simple installation, simple use, long battery life, cute size - my favourite!
U can get it e.g. here:

Im using a BT77 Bluetooth GPS. It provides a really great signal even inside, however I have had problems with the wizard, in that I have to drop and then re-partner the device in bluetooth, everytime I want to use it, but Im currently thinking its the MS Bluetooth stack at fault and not the Device, anyone have a similar experience ?
Hi,
I already have the tomtom wired gps receiver which i use with my ipaq 2210. I know the receiver connector wont fit onto my wizard but is there any kind of adapter that will change it from ipaq to wizard (min usb i think).
cheers

Afraid not. Wired receivers will not work on Wizard/K-Jam etc.. full stop. you need to get a BT GPS receiver.
I picked a cheap one up from www.mobilefun.co.uk for £40 and works a treat. 5 fixes even in car glove box
The Tomtom Bt Gps is the easiest one to connect to the wizard, other brands u may need to set comm ports in Tomtom navigator.
So far I tested Holux SIRF3, Tomtom MK2, Leadtek sirf3, all were working fine.
my Tomtom MKIII works perfectly with Wiz.
I'm using a BT880 picked up on ebay (new) for £30.
Works fine with my qtek (imate rom) and tomtom5.

Carcomm cradle and GPS

Hi All, just got the carcom cradle for my tytn, its the one thats just a charger rather than full hands free. I also got the carcomm ENAV-400 gps reciever thats plugs into the cradle. So far i cant get tomtom 6 to talk to the gps on any of the com ports! Anyone shed any lights on this? No Idea what port its meant to be on, am i missing something?
Cheers!
Well, for anyone having this problem in the future, here is the reply i got from Carcomm about this.
Dear James,
Thank you for your interest in our products.
The TyTN and a lot of new phone models unfortunately do not work with a wired GPS receiver,
they can only work with a Bluetooth GPS receiver.
I hope this answered your questions.
Best regards,
Rob Verdonck

So, dont buy a carcomm wired GPS, even though you can plug it into a carcomm cradle coz it wont work. Ive now got to return mine and get a bluetooth one :/
Mine works fine.
Only over Bluetooth though,
AFAIK it definitely wont work as a wired device using the Carcomm kit
We support these at work and have installed 10-20 devices installed and all work fine.

THB Bury Car Adapter

Any news on when an adapter will be available? I had this one for my tytn and it is well integrated in my truck.
http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=141685
What is great about this is when you change devices all that is needed is a new cradle, the rest stays.
I have had contact with someone from THB, he told me last wednesday that there are still tests running.
It shows these are now in stock.

yes but this is for tytn and not for kaiser, is't it?
I bought a cradle for the Kaiser, but won't advice anyone to buy it if you want to use TomTom. The instructions are not audible when the phone is in the cradle :-(
