Hi all,
I can not seem to find out if Tomtom (wired) will work with the XDA2. I currently run Tomtom on an Ipaq 3950 and wish to upgrade to an XDA2 but cannot find a cable to do this. Expansys sell an XDA cable http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=TT_NAVCABXDA
but cannot find out if it will work with the XDA2. They seem unsure of this.
Can anyone PLEASE confirm if Tomtom will work with this cable, and if not how I will be able to connect. Would love to know as I can't wait to buy a XDA2.
Cheers
I emailed tomtom and they informed me that the cable for XDA and XDAA II are the same as I was in the same situation upgrading from Ipaq, so I ordered the cable from TomTom direct and received it in 4 days and it works a treat with no problems what so ever
Thanks for your help lankydwarf. Your a star.
Thats greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I am looking to upgrade from a P800 to the XDAII.
One feature I like on the P800 is the voice dial through the bluetooth headset.
I'm reading that its not possible on the XDAII, is this correct?
(what a feature to miss)
If it is how do I go about doing it?
Also what software do you guys recommend for the phone, I'm going to have GPRS enable etc and like my gadgets.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi guys!
Just learned of this forum, it might be my last chance.
I bought the GlobalSat SD-501 GPS secure digital receiver in Hong Kong. It was a big gamble and it turned out to a headache.
After installing the thing you are supposed to be able to see which comport it has received using the nifty utility "GPSInfo" from GlobalSat.
It is supposed to identify itself as COMX: MANF-0501-CARDID or something similar.
... but after loading the program I see the following:
COM1: Serial
COM2: Serial_Cmd
COM3: IrCOMM
COM4: BTIBserial
COM5: BTOBserial
COM9: Serial_Data
That is, nothing that resembles anything what I want. I tried to force select one of the following ports but of course that didn't work. There are also 3 different drivers to test, the one supplied on the cd and two on the developers site, found here:
http://www.globalsat.com.tw/english/download.php?level_id=3
I have tried all three drivers with no effect. I have also tried soft resetting after install and even a hard reset to see if that would solve any issues.Along with the drivers there is also a program called COMKiller that disables comports (after surfing found out that most IPAQ's tie up all comports leaving nothing for the GPS), I tried this as well with no success.
The LED on the GPS is supposed to blink when it has your location fixed, the device actually does that after a while so it seems to have a working hardware anyway - it just won't talk to the phone.
From looking at other forums it seems as this device work for people running the S2020 (the Himalaya) so maybe there is hope.
In summary this is what I have tried:
1. Tried all three drivers available from maker.
2. Soft resetting.
3. Hard resetting.
4. Upgraded ROM to the version described below.
5. Disabled IR (incoming beam).
This is what I have:
Qtek S100
ROM: 1.06.00 WWE
ROM date 01/06/05
Radio version: 1.05.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.06.115 WWE
Model NO.: PM10A
Maybe there is something in the driver that is trying to access the S100 in the wrong way, maybe it is trying to force select a busy comport. I don't know. Please you kind devs and others, can you maybe take a look at this?
best regards
Kristian
I querried this forum about this about a month ago and had no luck.
I have an o2 mini. When i plug the sd501 into the mini The light doesnt come on. My friend has JAM. When I plug it into the jam the light comes on but still i have not been able to get it to work,
If you find a solution please post
Could any of you smart devs please take a look at this, I would be eternally grateful!

Hi Kris,
did you already try on the forums you can find at www.pocketgps.co.uk ???
IMHO that is the best-gps-experts website; if nobody can help you there, you can put your receiver in the recycle bin
Sorry I cannot help you some more
Hi,
yes I have posted in that forum too - awaiting response. But I am sure this is solvable, it's not rocket science. Well, for me it might be but I know there are some seriously smart people here eager to give support
/Kris
being a bit a GPS expert myself as well as an S100 owner I have not found a solution so far to get this combo to work, which I guess is not that bad at the end of the day considering you lose the SD slot for storage unlike with say a Bluetooth GPS. I will certainly revisit when they send me the SD-502 with its 512mb RAM, small helix antenna and SIRFIII chipset for testing in a few weeks ;-)
GpsPassion -> Do you have some kind of relation with GlobalSat? If so, have you had any comments from them if they will try to make this combo to work or not?
I mean, I like the device and it would suit my needs quite well - and I bought mine so I must decide if I should sell it or if there might bew a solution sometime. Do you have any contacts?`
best regards
Kristian
Hello Sd 501 "victims",
searching through the net I ended up at this thread. I also would like to run my sd-501 with my magigian. Is there really no solution to that problem?
Stefan
hi
the drivers arent installed properly you should have on there manufactors card under the com ports. reinstall the drivers andf it will work are you using the disk that came with it as the drivers you down load dont seem to work.

Nice to see an old thread coming back to life. I for one never managed to get the 501 to work on an S100 and the 502 is following the same fate, looks like some SDIO issues at HTC...http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/news.asp?id=410
just signed up today and this is my first post! anyway i am having the same problem. i have been trying to get the globalsat sd-502 to talk to my Qtek s110 without any joy depsite expansys saying it is compatible.
i have tried the drivers supplied and those on the globalsat website. it cannot see any com ports other than those mentioned earlier in this thread.
i do know from a local guy who tried to help me out that he managed to get it working with his xdaii which was not comaptible but he failed to help me out on with the qtek. i think this is one that globalsat will need to look at.
its a shame because it locks on to satellites just as quick as my globalsat bt-338 but wont suck the battery dry as quickly the bluetooth does. i will be interested to here if someone comes up with a solution.

Sorry to hear about your problems - but, what software are you trying? A good freebie is VisualGPS CE, and does work with the SD-501 (i use said GPS reciever with my Blue Angel).
But unfortunatly, I think this problem is purely a HTC problem, not global sat. Remember, they made thier device compatible to the BSquare SDIO Now protocalls - if HTC decides not to follow that , then it is not GS's fault (though, it is odd that they would support the SDIO on devices like the II, IIs, III, but not on other devices..)
Divine im using tom tom 5 but as far as gps programs ive used both gpsinfo and winfast as someone on the pocketgps site suggested. yeh it probably is something that htc need to look at.
thanks to a bit of browsing on here ive downloaded a trial verison of phone alarm which allows me to use a single press of tghe tom tom icon to activate the bluetooth and tom tom in one go. exiting tom tom switches the bluetooth off and the phone so i can power the device down. this will keep me happy till someone comes up with a solution.i am going to return the sd-502 to expansys and ask them to remove the qteks110 compatiblity reference on their site
Hello friends,
My firts contact with this forum.
I have one question. Palmone Universal Wireless Keyboard don't work with Prophet, s200, etc..??? Help please . Anybody has an special drivers??? The PalmOne UWK drivers don't work.
Isn't this thing infrared? If so, make sure it lines up nicely to the infrared of the S200. Also make sure that your 'receive all incoming beams' function under SETTING->Connections->BEAM is turned on.
I guess you found the drivers here?
Also try searching the forums here (complete forums, not just prophet) for more posts about this keyboard. I'm sure there are some.
I tried this Keyboard on the Prophet. It doesn't work, but it works on the Blueangel w/o hassle.
same here. I bought the palm universal wireless keyboard thinking it'll work with the prophet since it's wm5. No luck.. =(
It's too bad cause I got the keyboard really cheap...
Hi folks
Am hoping that some one can help me with a problem i have

I have a Globalsat 308 bluetooth GPS unit

There was a reg hack for this, you will need to search the early threads on this subject. I'm sure I have this at home (am at work at the mo) will check later.
Mav
PS. the reg hack just opened the BT channel for sound.
