Ok having major problems with this unit, I've finally bonded the device to the xda 2 and have installed the software and UK maps onto memory card, I can only select com 7 in the bluetooth profiles for the Navman and when I go into GPS settings in SmartST com 7 is the only one I cant use WTF !!!!!
Also after running SmartST when I next try to run it it runs so slow and eventually locks up I've tried all the patches to no avail I have 70 Mb of memory for running programs so that should be plenty. Anyone haave any Ideas????
Navman problem fixed!!!!!!
Well I managed to figure out what was causing the SmartST software to run rediculously slow on my XDA II.
I noticed that whenever I stopped all programs from running, the Active program would always end up as not responding so I decided to remove the O2 Active user interface and it cured the problem.
It works great totally impressed with it.
WOOHOO

Com 7 Port For Navman
I had a similar problem. I had to remove the exisiting bond with the Navman and then soft reset. Then, go into GPS settings and com7 should be available to select. Finally, rebond with Navman device and select com7 from the bluetooth tools options, and hey presto! It took some trial and error but it was worth it, Navman now working perfectly, am looking forward to an extended road test in northern France this weekend!

When I launch the smart ST professional 1.91.0011 , there si no port available !!! do you know why ? Can you help me on this matter . Thanks
Janaro
hey hey hey... cool it guys..
I helped a customer set this up, and it worked like a charm..
You have to make sure that before you paired both the deviced, you have to checked the inbound port under settings->bluetooths settings...
then you should be able to selected it later in the program..
oh yes, just a gentle reminder, just install the EnableCharPin software from , else you cannot enter "NAVMAN" as a password.
Cheers
there is another solutions dou, but after I worked on it for another customer, I could not get it to work with his headset using bluetooth.

Navman problems
Hi guys -
I'm also having problems with setting up my Navman 4410. I had it working on my XDA2 (after a struggle) when using ROM version 1.03, but I've now upgraded to ROM V1.60.50 which is the latestest relase from 02. Since then I'm having the same problems as Janaro - there is no com7 available in SmartST (v2.00.0029 SP1). The default bluetooth com port is COM4 but it does not appear to bond correctly.
I've tried the recommendation from Kernow but I still cannot get it to work
Has anybody got any ideas ?
Alan
Have you got "Recieve all incoming beams" unticked. Start\settings\connections\beam.
Hope this helps
Receive all incoming beams is ticked - should it be ?
I think the problem is more to do with the COM ports. BTHtools only allows you to set the com port to COM7 - but COM7 is not available within Navmans SmartST software.
Ah ha - untick "Receive all incoming beams" (in start\settings\connections\beam) and COM7 becomes available within SmartST - everybody with problems please note !!!
It now works OK - many thanks

Different Navman solution
After upgrading my Qtek 2020 to 1.66, SmartST would take forever to open whereas it had been reasonably quick before.
I was successful in making it work by not installing the bluetooth tools but only executing the EnableCharPin from my synched laptop.
This meant that I could pair my Navman 4410 after having checked both inbound COM4 and Outbound COM5 in Bluetooth settings. (The bluetooth tools would only provide COM7 whereas that port was not available in SmartST)
The double blinking only went away after SmartST was started.
After installing SmartST V2 the program starts fairly quickly

4400 and XDAII works OK
I am using the 1.60WWE 02 ROM (Recent upgrade), a Navman 4400 and Smart ST (not 2) software, and it works a charm. I agree that BTTools should not be used but you have to use enablechar.exe to key in the PIN. I had no problems with bonding. Make sure however you un-pair all other devices (headset etc) first to give the 4400 first choice of the COM ports. As has been stated, when paired, make sure you check Com 5 outbound under Start/Settings/BT Settings (this was the main feature of the 1.60 upgrade that appealed to me), then select the same port from the GPS status screen of Smart ST.
It is working for me. I look forward to seeing Smart ST2 with its 3d view, but it is not necessary.
I think you have other problems if ST 1 doesn't work.
On another note, the amount of time taken to start the software is related to how many maps it has to process. If you only check the maps you are using (under Setup/Maps in Smart ST) it will speed things up greatly.
After first getting my XDA2 to work with my Navman 4410 using SmartST V2 and BTHTools and setting the com port to 7, I have now managed to get it working by using the standard set-up as recommended by Camstech.
By checking both the inbound and outbound boxes in start/settings/system/BlueTooth_settings and by setting COM5 within SmartST it now works fine.

Navman 4400 / 4410 and Bluetooth Headset
Very helpful dialogue here. Many thanks to all. Based on this, I am planning to purchase either a Navmean 4400 or 4410, but wondered if any of you have been able to set up the GPS and a Bluetooth headset at the same time. I don't really need to have the GPS voice prompts come through the headset (probably too much to ask at this point), but would like to be able to answer/end calls via the headset, while the GPS is active. Do any of you have BT headsets working with the 4400 / 4410 installed?
I have Navman 4400 and bluetooth headset working at the same time not a problem. I bought Namvan 4400 from Dicksmith Australia as I got it $100 off the price as it has the old 2D software mapping, but Navman Australia send the mapping software upgrades to you for free, something to consider if you can find 4400 still as the hardware is the same with 4400 and 4100 navmans.
Got my htc tytn loaded totom 5 onto it and guess what bluetooth gps doesn't work with it! Cannot get correct comm port .According to HTC TomTom know about this. Just hoping somebody already has a fix for this?
Had no problems pairing my BT Slim GPS with my Vario II, TomTom runs fine.
What GPS receiver you using ?
works fine on my xda trion as well.......im using tom tom 5.21 with BT-338 gps receiver.......im also using com port 0......you basically have to pair it and then add outgoing port as com port 0.....and during the installation on tom tom make sure you choose com port 0......that worked for me anyways....hope that helps.
Bluetooth GPS HTC TYTN
Thanks guys have re-installed tomtom and now it comes up with com prt 0.Probably didn't install correctly first time .Now up and running .Fantastic!!!!
I could cry
Hi everyone - I am having a similar problem
I have a new GPS receiver and have established a bluetooth partnership and done the outgoing port to com0 which is the default.
Tom Tom is installed and when I try and configure it I am not seeing all the options shown on the website. It just says no gps detected or something similar. I am sure its something simple.
Can anyone help please?

There's a program CreatePorts that is floating around (you'll have to do a search) that allows TomTom to see additional com ports in the Bluetooth GPS setup. I used this same program on my Samsung i730, and now on the 8525.
You just paid your GPS with the PPC, create the outbound port (in my case I used com 2), run CreatePorts, and then go in to TomTom GPS setup.
Once you get it set up, you don't have to run the app anymore, and TomTom works great
OUCH

I tried running this but i can still only assign certain points from my bluetooth manager and dont have these displayed on the tomtom menu.
When you go into the GPS Status settings on Tomtom and tap configure, have you tried looking to see which com ports it lists and then going back to the bluetooth settings and doing trial and error to allocate any of those port numbers as an outgoing port for your GPS unit?
For my genuine Tomtom GPS unit, I did not even have to set up a port, I just had to pair the device but when I used a friends alternative brand of GPS unit for a short while, I was only able to get that one working under Com port 4. I can't quite remember but it may even have been a case that Com 4 only became visible in the Tomtom GPS configure menu after I had allocated it as an outgoing port for the GPS device (sorry, it is a while back so I can't quite remember the order in which I set it up)
Hope you get it sorted
arghh
I a so annoyed. I did this and had no luck. Later on I did something and got the option for port 2 and used it and it was great. I had to do a soft reset for something else and I cant do it again. tried everything.
MMMM
Happy yet frustrated
I have deleted create ports from my device as it only works once. I have reset my device. I reinstalled createports and extracted the file. I then saw port 2 straight away - the one that had been missing in tomtom.
The only problem is that if I do a soft reset I have to do that again!
It is very frustrating trying to get some of these things working. Have you thought about upgrading to Tomtom 6? you may find you have less problems getting the pairing and ports working right.
Failing that, I am sure you will be able to get it working again, just keep trying all the com ports one by one until you find one that appears in the Tomtom configuration. Like I said, on my XDA Vario II (Hermes) I managed to get it working on Com 4 and when I had an XDA Mini S (Wizard) I seem to remember that it was either Com 6 or Com 7 which worked on that one.
You might want to check the bluetooth settings for security and beam as well. Try turning security off (ie. passkey required off) and make sure the beam setting is ticked to receive all incoming beams.
I will keep my fingers crossed for you

Pairing TOMTOM 6 with Bluetooth GPS (easy) - Kaiser
First after reading the posts I thought I had to reinstall Tom Tom or install another software. Luckily, I paused and read the message when I was about to configure my other bluetooth receiver. It said, first you must establish your bluetooth connection. Well, I lied coz I did try to go on and couldnt find COM 0 or whatever you guys have said.
But that's what I did, eventually. Paired the device as BT GPS, check the serial connection (not sure if secure connection needs to be checked but I left it unchecked to find out later). After that go to com port tab, and click add new port ie selected COM0.
Then go back to TT6 (restarted in my case), and to other bluetooth gps receiver then found COM 0 in there. Voila!!
Chose COM0, but still got no gps device message. Waited for about 2 mins while reading further into the posts and now my TT6 is working.
You could call that strike of luck I dont really care but yeah.. saving some batt power on my kaiser for the bank holiday;s trip. Have a great one everyone!!
P/s: Mine is O2 stellar on Dutty's great work.
Com 4 is the only one that works with Schaps 3.54
how can i resolve this problem. if i want to use my unibersal as a modem i am getting an error 'com open erroe'. i have found somewhere this is due to tome bluetooth outgoing port conflict between these two. at the same time i am suing tomtom with GPS reciever on outgoing bluetooth port. so every time i wana use my device as a modem i need to delete the outgoing port and when i want to use it as my sat nav i need to add this port. is there any solution to this problem ? has anybody been through this ?? maybe i can change the ooutgoing port somehow but at this point i can choose only one port from the list of 1 to 9. i am allawed to choose 8th.
advice appreaciated
cheerz, cudo
Don't forget COM0 - that one is also available
hi, thx for pointing this out. I have choosen com0 and I can start wireless modem appl and I couldn't before. I m at uni so I cannot check any further I will report back once I got home.
cheers, cudo
I my case it has helped to remove Incoming Bluetooth Port in Bluetooth Settings from COM8 to COM0
Anyone know why I cannot get TOMTOM working under WM6? I've tried the connection, and then set up through tomtom. It shows the BT GPS but doesn't actually contact any satellites.
Any ideas?

I use Igo, and is working well.

Which ports
Hi all,
Tried the suggestion above. Set hardware port to COM 6. Set Bluetooth to Com 6. No joy. What should I set the program port to in the GPS Settings? Is there a specified baud rate?
Is it something to do with the BT radio? Do I need to update it somehow?
Thanks,
Paul D
Update
Changed the Program settings to Com 5. Now it recognizes the GPS unit's address (BT 00 12 c8 90 65 ac) but still no satellite connection.
Paul D
Works!!
Followed the other suggestion and took it outside. DERRR!
Feel like a Git.
Thanks Guys,

Hi Team
I need some help from others that have tt6 running on an XDA211i
Any body out there ??
I think I am having the usual problems with com port set up ?
Havnt tried GPS Dash yet but that thats my next stop .
help needed
Astro1
tomtom 6 works fine on the xda2i, i know i was running it,till someone stole the device. Just turn off beam (click start > settings>connections>beam) and then pair the gps,once paired add a outgoing com port on the device(click com ports at the bottom).
Then run tomtom setup and choose your device in the config,if it isnt listed choose other bluetooth,then choose the com port you selected as the outgoing port and it will work
Add an outgoing com port
Hi Scousemartin
Great to hear from you , I have been struggleing with tt6 for waht seems like ages now .
I can follow uyou all the way to add an outgoing Com port ? clock on com port at the bottom ?
Ive paired and then cant find where to add am outgoing com port on the device ( Click com ports at the bottom ??? dont have a " com ports at the bottom ?? )
I can look at the device and it adds the bt gps as outgoing port 6 , when i put this in to tt6 and turn both on the gps flashes furiously but as far as TT6 is conceerned it keeps the " no gps device " sign and no spinning disk either.
No other progs seem to ba able to run a gps either on my machine , maybe this is significant ?
Astro1
sorry for not getting back earlier astro pm me a msn or yahoo address and i will talk you through it, what version of tomtom 6 are you running?
Hi Astro,
Have you fixed your problem yet? I am also running TT6 on an XDA IIi with no problems. Might be able to help...
