Hi, Guy's , I've been trawling through the forum all week-end trying to find an answer to my problem, i've recently put my navman v2 software on my XDA2 , it has loaded ok but the problem is it wont pick a signal up from the sd card gps arial that i use , i've loaded the service pack two from navman , which found the com port the arial is located to ( COM O) but the software still wont pick-up a signal, Ialso run TomTom 5 on the xda which work's perfect. Is there anyone out there might be able to help??? Many Thank's Steve

i have this problem with my qtek 2020 conected to an gps antena holux gps slim 236 and the problem is like this after installing the GPS viewer ... it is all oki found it on COM 5 speed 38400 but when i go to IGO trying to open the conection manager .. and selecting the com 5 at the same speed ... it does not see any satelits .... no nothing ... i belive thant is a problem with bluetoot com ports ... so please give me an program that alows me to change the GPS antena bluetooth comport
and please don't send me any BlueTootH Tools i have try it and nothing ...
problem solved using bluetooth manager
Dear Htc fellows,
My bluetooth GPS is working strange on my Universal, but on iPaq with
WM2003 works as a charm. The BT GPS is new Solar GPS with new Mediatek
chipset.
It's not working with iGo 2006 and even not Tomtom 5 or Tomtom 6.
I can find the BT GPS in BT manager, I can pair it, but I dont know why,
it needs a pass key even if it shouldn't. Then when I explore it's
services, The popup come again asking me if I will allow external BT
device to connect to my Universal and it come asking passkey again (Why?).
I can't even enter an empty passkey (bt device doesen't require it). After that I have successfully paired the device. I can add it's serial port to enumerate on com ports 8 or 4.
When I start Tomtom, it doesent detect the device at all. If I use iGo, it detects, gets datas and disappear, it's allways appeared for 1 second and then 5 seconds not. No matter Which bitrate I set (device is written to be 9600) it needs to be in NMEA protocol, not SIRF.
When I use some freeware GPS programs, it seams to be working ok, it shows satelites and it's not disappearing.
What can I do with that???
I have some idea that it's probably about WM5 and it's security....
How can I setup com security in registry? can I set the port speads manually atd... I had performed a hard reset and it still don't work. Can ROM update or AKU update help me?
Does anyone have some idea what should I try now?
O2 XDA EXEC:
Rom: 1.30.107
Radio:1.09.00
P:42.42.P8
BT GPS: model: BT 2.5MR

Could you find a solution??
Hi,
I have the same problem exactly and could not find anything on the net. Did you solve your problem?
well ...
i know that there is a problem with GPS and WM5 and so there is this patch which i install every time i hard reset .....
the guys i bought MY GPS from gave me this ... and they are pretty knowledgable .....
it works well ....
try it !
tried
My OS version is WM2003 but tried anyway.. Did not work.. can there be version for WM2003??
did you ?
did you define an outgoing com port for the device (com 4 for example ?)
com port definition
well, igo finds the device an COM 6 actually, it connects too.. but stays connected just for a second, then again and again..
I installed GPSGate and created a virtual com port 7. I manually configured the GPS receiver connection to COM 7 on igo.. But all the same.. :
do you advice another way?
one other thing the device works with navigon 5.0 and tomtom 6.0 smoothly, no problem.. only igo..
well...
IGO is CRAP ... that is well known .... lots of bugs ...
i am sorry .. i do not know how to solve your problem...
but i suggest using destinator 6 ..... (that's what i use) ....
simple ... nice looking .... big buttons and able to navigate to your contacts directly (especially useful if you have Phone Edition)
oh ... and ... works great !
I got the Holux GPSlim 236 GPS. I can pair the GPS with Universial. But I cannot set the com port at all. A pop up window always say the com port (I tried everyone of the ports) is not available.
Any one got a solution, does the GPS bug fix help ? and what does it fix ?
Might seem a bit obvious, but have you tried the code "0000" when pairing your device?
Once paired...did you define an outgoing serial port on "Bluetooth Settings" menu on your WinCE?
I have a royaltek bluetooth GPS and it's been working well with TomTom[5|6]...I use '0000' as passkey (default on many 'non-interactive' devices), once paired I clicked on 'COM Ports' tab and defined a new outgoing port, the wizard should list the GPS as an available device to create a COM port so I used it and I got a 'com0'.
Once the outgoing port was created I had to tell TomTom to use the new 'com0' and worked like a charm
It's been working since TomTom 5.21 (previous versions didn't work).
hi
i have the latest rom for my xda but i cannot get my bluetooth gps receiver to be seen , it will bond but it does not seem to find the com port , i have a holux 236 and i am running gps viewer:confused which scans the com ports , it used to find it but since a reboot it will no longer do so.
i have tried wm5gpsfix but it seemed not to do anything.
anyone any ideas
cheers

I had the same problem but with WM 2003. Instalation of Widcomm Bluetooth Stack maked my GPS receiver visible for TomTom application. try that!
Guys
I am still percivering with a good old XDA11i and am trying desparately to get Tom tom to run with a bt gps .
No matter what I seem to do TT says that there is no gps device ( ie I have not paired the two properly !)
Ive done exactly what it says on the tin , but no joy .
Any tips .
Ive paired the two , Ive got beam off , the two seem to be communicating ( based on the multiple flashing patten of the BT GPS compared to when just switched on / or in stand by.
Any body else have any problems like this ?
