has any one used rikaline gps system with tom tom city maps i am unable to make a connection is it somthing to do with the ir port beong switched on or off
rilkaline gps mouse
hi I also have a rilkaline 6010 gps mouse, and it does not send any valid serial output. Some characters are transmited, but they are wrong. It should operate in ASCII mode but I receive no valid signals. I tested the signal by oscilloscope and by the serial scanner. Is the problem the same?
Beams should be uncecked under settings/connections/beams. I think the gps settings should work with tomtom gps chosen or try nmea 4800, com 1.
had same prob found out it was faulty gps from ebay lol so sent back for a replacement and the replacement actually sends gps data to the xda now

Guys,
Just got this GPS to go with my Xda Exec, it seems to work fine and is a lovely little unit, but only functions correctly when using with SirfIII compatible software? Any software that doesn't have Sirf support doesn't seem able to switch the GPS into its NMEA mode?!
Any PocketPC apps I download to use with it just hang as soon as I open the port to the GPS UNLESS they support Sirf.
Am I missing something here?
Get hold of the TT vs3 GPS driver, and use that to switch the GPS over to the NMEA mode
Ahhh thanks for reply, sounds good but where do I find that? Is that the GPS.cab file that comes with the install? If so thats already on there!?
I've tried Google but can't find any trace of anything similar?
Try pocketgps.co.uk go to the downloads section and it is on that page its vs2,06 that you need - Mike
Many thanks, just installed it and I now have a new application in my Programs.
Upon firing it up, I can select from a list of GPS devices and the port it uses. My Leadtek isn't listed BUT there are listings for Sirf AND for NMEA at different speeds.
To get my GPS working with these applications that support NMEA only which of the NMEA speeds should I select?
Does this new program act as a 'gateway' to the GPS, or some sort of soft configuration for the GPS driver? Should I uninstall the Tom Tom GPS Bluetooth software?
For anyone else, here's a direct link:

Hi All,
I have just received a Holux GPSlim236 to go with my Qtek S110, but I am having really hard time getting it to work. The software I am using at the moment is the GPS View, which comes with the reciever.
I have been able to pair them, but that is as far as I get. GPS View cannot see it, neither can some software called GPS Speed Sentry (which has worked with a previous GPS reciever).I have also been on www.pocketgps.co.uk, but I still have not been able to get it working. They keep on mentioning about changing the GPS Com Port, but I cannot find how to do this in Windows Mobile 2003SE. Has anyone been able to sort this out before?
Also do different companies version of Windows Mobile 2003SE differ. For Example could QTEKs Windows Mobile have different bluetooth options compared to Imate, O2 or TMobile? Could this be a reason why I cannot change the COM Port?
If anyone has been able to sort it out, can they let me know, as it is causing BIG headaches!!!
Hopefully I have left enough info...
Thanks
Nick
You do not say what, if any, navigation software you use
I found the Holux GPS viewer v1.05 unreliable and replaced it.
I Searched the internet and downloaded TomTom's GPS driver v2.08. I suspect that TomTom BlueTooth GPS is a rebadged Holux product.
Using the v2.08 driver select GPS and on the top of display drop down menu select TomTom Wireless GPS.
Next select from second drop down list Bluetooth Serial port and COM6.
Select Status and please make certain when using the Satellite receiver that your pocket PC BlueTooth Manager is turned ON.
Good luck

COM ports for GPS receiver
Just do the following:
go to
START - SETTINGS - Bluetooth Settings
Check that you have a Bluetooth Serial Port Setup
Inbound COM port: COM4
after that pair the gps receiver with your device.
When your software tries to connect to the gps receiver tell it that it's connect to COM4
That's the way I got mine working with route 66.
Bregards
yea was wondeing how would u enable the unit to be able to be used as a gps device and software nessaary
There is no GPS hardware built in. You need to use a bluetooth gps receiver and software with maps like TomTom mobile.
thanks so tom tom will work for USA use..also any car cradle options
I have tom tom and gps 2 google earth.
I want to use tom tom for navigation and gps2googleearth to save my path.
The problem is that only one program can access the virtual serial port of the bt gps receiver (holux gpslim).
I have used the registry hack to show the GPS icon at settings->connections.
My gps is at COM7.
I created a virtual port (COM8) in order to allow more than one program to access the GPS.
The think is that some programs work at COM8 but TomTom doesn't. (it only works with the real port 7...)
Is there any way to do that ?
Thanks.
I have installed Memory Map pocket PC version, which looks great, and paired with my Tom Tom BT gps unit, but can't get the Memory Map software to see the GPS.
I don't (never have) had TomTom installed as I know it takes over control of the GPS driver.
Anyone here using this and knows the settings to allow Memory Map to work with the GPS?
Thanks.
when you add the gps in settings-connections-bluetooth, pick a com port - i used com8.
in Pocket Nav select menu-gps-setup
i used manufacturer: NMEA as i have a generic bt gps unit
Port: COM8 (to match the bt com port setting you chose earlier)
Baud: 4800
click ok and it should work ok
i have a free download to evaluate which won't let me plot but it does lock in to the gps and you can view the satellites it's locked on to.
it looks a good package - maybe santa will get me a copy
