Hi,
I've installed Destinator 6 for PDA's on my MDA Compact. It's the only software installed besides the default ROM and Route66. (I only use it for navigation)
But no matter what settings I try in Destinator, I keep getting the message "GPS antenna not found".
But when running Route66......no problems at all with my GPS receiver. So how come Route66 is able to find my paired GPS receiver, but Destinator isn't?? Is Destinator THAT crappy??
Destinater 6 works fine for me. Even with a virtual com port. Sounds like you don't have the com configured correctly. There is a 'find GPS' function in destinator 6.
I too have Destinator 6 with a Globalsat BT308 GPS and it works perfectly.

how to get the Tomtom 6 works on HTC P3600?
I have set the GPS receiver to Other NMEA Receiver
and tried all the baud rate from 4800, 9600, 57600 and 115200
And set the GPS to com9
And waited each time up to 30 mins but still it shows the No valid GPS valid signal
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
do you have a gps enabled rom installed?
did you try outside with a clear view to the sky (or inside)?
Dans le cas de freeze de Tomtom avec certaines roms: Truc de Pierre Gre:
Certaines roms provoquent des freezes de Tomtom, comme les roms HTC ou Dopod.
Il faut alors installer ce petit .cab
Atifix.cab

Sorry man I only can read english or chinese only
Roughly it's saying, there is an issue with Tom Tom and WM6, and find the file ATIFIX.cab, in fact click on the blue linky he's put there and you'll get to it, grab, install and see if that helps.
Seemingly TT freezes for some reason and this fix... erm fixes it :0

You've got to use the TomTom 6.03, it's the version which can connect to an internal GPS receiver.
This with the GPS enabled ROM, like the mUn 2.0 TE (WM6).
The first time ... go outside your house / in the open air and wait like 3 min.
no word of a lie - it took me 8 minuites to get the very first fix. This was standing in my decent sized garden getting bored for a long time.
Fixes are under 2 minuites now tho
get TomTom 6.03 (the update), it allows you to select the internal GPS antenae and you should get faster fixes on satellites...
Just got a new Trinity. It came with a TomTom CD and instructions that said make sure you set it to Com 9 and 115200 baud FYI.
I've had crazy results. I've waited minutes for it to fix outdoors and I've also been able to connect within 10 seconds while inside my house. Results seem completely random.
When it is waiting for a valid signal, it shows that it is tracking 10 or more satelites. I don't understand it.

Where can I get the 6.03 update?
Look in this thread...

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you upgrade to TomTom 6.03 you will need to reactivate your maps!!!
VITO Techs Navigator 2
Here's a trick that worked. After performing the ROM update, I installed VITO Navigator 2. It will search for a GPS reciever and has a test mode to change modem speeds. I have never used this product other than searching for GPS ports and testing operation. But it brings up Trinity GPS function quick and shows all possable SATs in seconds. Just why and how is beyond me. But a great testing application.
Hi had installed the fix but TomTom still freeze.
I´ve Trinity WM5 Portuguese.
Could someone help me?
Tomtom has a problem with the POI's. Try going to "manage POI" and de-select those that aren't essential (leave the speed cams if you use those). There is lots of info and problems/cures on http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6
Let me know how you get on.
TomTom Problems solved!
I installed ATIFix on Trinity but i had to install Update for HTC P3600 Update from TomTom before:

Now, it works great!
Best Regards

That is the V6.03 update that adds 'Built-In GPS' to the GPS selection menu. Previous versions do work, but must have 'Other NMEA Receiver' selected, at COM9 and 56700 Baud (Baud isn't sensitive, but 56700 is the device default)
A lot of users problems have been because they are trying to select 'Other Bluetooth NMEA Receiver' which won't work as the COM ports aren't configured.
Hi all,
I have a problem with tomtom:
selecting as external gps BT (chosen com8) does not work
while others work very well
GPS DASH2 ok
IGO PLUS ok
TOMTOM6 no
THANKS ADVANCE
Try Com1 or Com4! And 'Other GPS' rather than BT.
set com1 it works.
Thanks
No probz, and welcome to the forum!
had anyone made garmin que & gps proxy running ok?
i can't connect integrated gps to garmin que, making it as device id0 to unlock maps.
anybody can help, please...
just wondering how does your HD work when it comes to navigation?
i tested my HD few days ago and i was very dissapointed. it takes a lot of time to find some satelites and if i am in the car it can keep up to the speed.
actually when i'm driving in the city i can't get any sattelites. the connection is very poor and my iGO8 doesn't show anything.
how is it for you? os this device a real GPS device?
is the GPS antenna very low quality or not powerful enough?
thanks in advanced for your answers!
works fine for me mate, TT is a bit laggy, but igo8 and memory map work fine,
the first time it connects to the GPS system it can take a wee while but usually that clears up and only takes a few seconds, since GPS is Line of sight dependent perhaps something is in the way, which may include bad upper atmosphere or crap weather, trees, buildings, mountains etc
Hope this will be helpfull
I have no problem with GPS since i desactive assisted GPS in HD Tweak.
Do u have the same problem with navigon or Tomtom ?

oh yeah, need to turn that rubbish off too!
Keep updated the GPS Quick Fix. I get a satellite connection within 10 seconds in TomTom.
Sometimes gps blinking for few minutes but he is really fast most of the time.
As others said, you must download quickgps data and disable A-gps option (with HD tweak or other app).
I'm also in France (in same town than you ) and the signal is always clear...
Regards
De temps en temps le signal clignotte un peu pendant quelques minutes mais sinon il est très rapide et précis la plupart du temps.
Comme les autres l'ont dit, il faut télécharger les éphémérydes avec quickgps de temps en temps et désactiver le A-gps avec HD tweak (cette option rendait le GPS instable pour moi).
Je suis aussi en France et roule régulièrement dans Rouen avec (Igo 8, TomTom ou Navigon) et je n'ai pas de perte de signal (même sous les tunnels des quais )
cordialement
hmm...wierd, i also have assisted GPS turned off.
actually it was never turned on.
and still my device doesn't work very well as a GPS device.
maybe it's just my device that has a faulty antenna...
thanks for your answers!
