I was able to use my Garmin GPS 10 with my PocketPC with windows 2003 with no problem.
On my JasJar the Garmin Que (v2.70) does not detect the GPS. The JasJar is able to pair with the GPS 10 with no problem. I've got it on Outgoing COM8. Then in the GPS Control Panel I have program on COM7 and hardware on COM8.
In the Que s/w under Setup -> Interfaces I have only the following options:
- <Auto Detect>
- Serial on Cable COM1:
- Infrared Port
- Ir on COM3:
- RIL on COM6:
- COM7:
- QCT Data Interface
No matter what I select it does not detect the GPS.
I've logged the problem with Garmin, but I've not had any response yet.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

hi,
you should find an earier entry from me on this, i manually put an entry into my registry listing com4, and on bluetooth setup the connection on com4, i could then see com4 in que. interesting since then the registry entry disapeared after a reboot but que and gps10 has worked ever since

Thanks for the reply, but can you assist me by telling me which Registry entries you modified?
I recall on my pda2k there was a text file in the garmin que application folder that include the setup and port configuration, and if my memory serve me will just edit the file on your desktop for your port and reload it into your pocket pc overwritting the old one.
that is if my memory serves me will, sorry if it didn't.

I had a look in Garmin folder and it contains the GarminQue file, an error log, plus some other binary files. Unfortunately no configuration text file. :-(
Registry Key
Ok I found the registry key to mofify. Thanks sgordon for the pointer.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/Active/73
Make sure that the GPS is on Outgoing port COM4
Add a String Value:
Value name: Name
Value data: COM4:
Start Garmin Que and go to System Setup -> Iterfaces. There will be a blank entry in the dropdown list, choose that. The s/w should now see the Garmin.
For some strange reason the key disappears after a reboot, but the Garmin Que s/w is still able to link to the GPS.
Mapsource and Que on WM5
Ok now that I'm able to link my JasJar and the GPS10, then next problem that I have is that neither Mapsource nor nRoute detects the unit so I'm unable to transfer maps or waypoints to my JasJar.
I've tried to install the the Que on the device and on the SD Card, but no luck.
Any ideas?
Another Way
I was forced to reset my JasJar and after the reset the key described above was not available, but I found another solution.
Search in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Drivers/Active for one of the keys which has a value with Drivers\BuiltIn\GPSID
In this key the name is GPD0:
Change it to COM4: (if your GPS is on COM4
Then start Que and COM4: wil now be availble under Interfaces.
I also resolved my issue with the MapSource maps by telling MapSource to write the map directly to the SDCard (My notbook has a built in SDCard Reader). Thanks for the assist.
i did the same but i cant transfer the tracks and waypoints from wm5 to mapsource. Any clue?

Having upgraded to TomTom5 I've had to revert to using it on my Orange SPV M1000, as it is UNUSABLE on my M2000 (Blue Angel) - Beware anyone thinking of upgrading to Blue Angel!
What's the best Speed Camera database to use with TomTom5 in the UK?
TIA
Peter
Hi,
Ive used POi Warner when I used TT3 but now that TT5 doesn't support it I find the best POi Installer and Auto Updater is POi Edit on the http://www.pocketgps.co.uk website. Its Free and gives you the same POi database I used when using the POi Warner program. This is free and far better than the useless TT5 built in subscription where you pay £65/year for crap.
POi Edit is free, you will have to register for free with a POi Database website and enter the username and password in the POi Edit Program. I chose www.poihandler.com free with loads of Pois to be selected inthe POi Edit Program from thier website.
Cheers
Good Luck

navigator 5 doesnt need poiwarner now, it is intergrated into the software. under settings - manage poi - warn when near poi.

Hi all !
I use my Universal with Navigon 5.2 and Holux GPSlim236 BT GPS unit for quite some time already without any problems.
Just recently tried to install a GPS utility to see some GPS protocol details and the problem is that i do not know which COM port to use and how to connect BT GPS module to my Universal before starting this GPSDash or GPSTuner utility which wants to know COM port number.
Please, help !
Baudy.
hi
You should go to bluetooth settings and see which COM port is assigned to Outbound serial port connections
By default it's COM6
good luck
you need to create a fake com post in the registry so this programs can see com port 3. Problem is they don4t see the microsoft bluetooth port because they don4t know how to.
One you created this fake port, you can select it in any program.
Somebody still has to come with a simple app to do this though, because the only way I now is manipulating the active and the builtin driver section.
sometimes you can also edit the ini files of these utilities to directly indicate the COM port that you have chosen. Helps for example with Navigon.
@robal: this is not the case for the Universal. It uses a completely different BT stack. Free ports are COM0 and COM8

In the BT settings there is no Inbound or Outbound COM port assigned.

Do you have any idea of how to do this precisely, step by step ?

That's because you need to do that yourself. Create a new outbound port on COM8, link it to your receiver and then specify COM8 in your programs.

Works perfectly ! Thanx !
Has anybody been able to create a bluetooth connection/sync with Vista??
If so how??
vista intends to use "bluetooth" word in registry value instead of your "COM" port value where mine is COM12 port via bluesoliel so many times i have to use regedit to find and change name from "bluetooth" to "COM12" for it to recoganise and you have to download newer type of active sync for vista from microsoft(MS) site after you have got its genuine key checked from MS site ,else you might have to buy vista supported bluetooth or upgrade your drivers which are still in process of developing them the way vista wants them to be.
Go to \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services, modify the value name "SerialPort" from "Bluetooth or Infrared" to "COM12", where COM12 is the virtual com port associated to your bluetooth incoming com port(12 in my case). The number varies from pc to pc, so choose the right com port for your specific use.
Hello
I'm trying to get GPS data from the com port with c#.
I'm using a serialPort component setted to the com4
port (which is shown as the gps port in the params form).
I implement the DataReceived event to get the data but
this event is never fired.
I did not find anywhere any piece of information about the
way to initialize the gps (if it should initialized) ; also
nothing about the com port settings.
Joined are my current settings.
Any idea ? documentation ?
Thanks
Julien
Same problem
Resolved the problem?
I'm having the same problem. When the road program in Windows XP works, most in HTC not.
Well... No !
This might be helpful for people who has problems to
find ActiveSync service while pairing phone to pc.
First you have to pair devices then go to registry on ppc:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Device
Find device key which points to your pc
( inside of the key, there's value "name" )
and write the key's name down.
Delete pairing between pc and phone either from bluetooth
settings or simply deleting the key which name your wrote down.
Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\ActiveSync
if there's any keys ( "folders" with hexadecimal numbers ), delete them.
Create new key named with the value you wrote down
and create two new values:
Nameriority
Type:REG_DWORD
Data:0
and
Name:RasEntry
Type:REG_SZ
Data:your pc's bt hostname
Now just try to make pairing again and ActiveSync service
should be appearing.
I had earlier working connection which crashed for some reason. And with this trick I managed to get it working again.
My phone is Elf and ROM i'm using is ShadoW 2.1 TE.
I hope this is useful for someone.
