I have tomtom 5 working on my XDA EXEC NO need to mess about with gps settings.
I just installed tomtom 5 from cabs added to SD card then update to 5.1 in the same way & it found tomtom bluetooth GPS reciver without touching the bluetooth settings.

Colin Bate
More info that may help.
This SD card was origanally used in my ipaq 2110 but tomtom was installed to device memory not the SD card.
Hope this helps.

i have no problem either even considering i'm using an alternative bluetooth gps and the settings in Control Panel (GPS on COM8 shared on COM6).
More important is tat you have to use the 5.1 and I'm using the PLUS maps because I'm travelling abroad.

I have problems of loose of connection between my qtek 202 and my GPS BT EMTAC antenna.
I upgraded the rom of my PPC to 1.7202FRA
Any solution?
Have the same issue here!
But I don't loose the connection all the time. And it doesn't matter in my case whether I choose for TomTom wireless GPS, Emtac Wireless GPS or NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth.
Haven't tried it yet with 3.03 or 3.07 of TT3 GPS driver.
Regards,
Mark
I got no problems with that
How do you know the connection is lost?
Could it be the know issue of asking a too big data throuput from the SD card (where obviously your maps & poi files are stored)?
If this is the case the isue occurs when eg. your speed is getting over a certain 'threshold'. This thresholp is determined bu the data-throuput capabilities of the SD-card (higher speed = more data/sec because of map movements).
Especially with the Himalaya the data-throughput of the SD-slot is limited. Some SD-Cards have more issues than others. Both my Kingston 256MB and my SanDisk 512MB make TTN3 freeze when the data-stream reaches the limit.
I know it is the data-throughput: Start TomTom GPS and to a testdrive. It will keep working, so nothing wrong with the BT connection.
Work-around:
1. limit the data-stream by unchecking all POI
OR
2. put your maps & poi in storage memory (limited by size!!)
There are some threads on this both here as on www.pocketgpsworld.co.uk
Many thanks for your answer.
I have only 2 poi checked.
Do you mean that i have to store the maps on a 256 mb storage card and not a 512 one
Sometimes the blue LED on my Holux starts flashing as it does when he doesn't find a PDA to connect to. TT continues but the data he thinks is receiving in incorrect.
What I do is : uncheck the box on the gps window (the one next to "Bluetooth gps" or "NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth"), check it again and the connection is restored.
Gringo,
you can download BTHTOOLS1100.zip from :
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/BTHTools1100.zip and install it
i've used i-mate rom172 + emtac bt gps for more than 7 months, and initially had the same problem, but then somewhere in this forum i found a thread mentioning about this and this solution (using bthtools) was adviced .
i'm now using xdaIIs and having no problem at all in connecting with the emtac bt gps.
hope it can help you

Looking to get a GPS setup now for my wizard.
I think I will be getting this bluetooth receiver unless anyone can tell me a reason not to ( ie its rubbish ) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm
Which version of tom tom will work with the wizard ? Is it 5.21 onwards ?
How big of a memory card will I need to run tom tom ? Will 512 meg do ? Are there any makes to avoid ? I was thinking of one of the mobymemory ones at £21.99.
Are there any troubles with the wizard and tomtom 5.21 ? Its not something I have read much about as ive only just decided to get one.
Many Thanks.
I have a MDA Vario running TomTom Navigator 5, V5.21, I am sure if you buy the software new then any installation problems with WM5 will have been resolved, if not; I do have a step by step guide for installing the software (original) and 5.21 update. The software runs perfect without any problems whatsoever.
I use a Holox BT-321 BLUETOOTH GPS RECEIVER. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BT-321-BLUETO...499429QQcategoryZ4668QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
I also use a 512MB Sandisk mini SD card. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sandisk-512MB...itemZ5862591470QQcategoryZ96991QQcmdZViewItem
In car I am using a Brodit Active mount P/N: 968650 & Pro Clip. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8670.htm
I have subscribed to TomTom Traffic and use PocketGPS camera warnings with POI Voice alert; the above configuration works with the Wizard perfectly.
I give TomTom Navigator 5 out of 5.
I have an XDA Mini S (provider : O2), and I am running Tom Tom 5.21 perfectly fine. Also, something that will answer your question regarding the GPS product : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm , is that it works perfectly fine with the XDA Mini S and the Tom Tom 5 or 5.21 software. I know that, because I am using the above mentioned GPS device. It works ok, it last 10 to 12 hours without charging, it picks up satellites quick, its battery is a BL5c- compatible to many Nokia phone batteries,it comes with a usb cable, so you can charge it by connecting it to your laptop/pc and it has a car adapter as well. The only prob I have with this GPS device is that for the moment I can't have it to work with the my pc ( for example:using it with MS Autoroute ). I believe the reason is that the device does not come with installation drivers for the pc. If you download a cracked version of Tom Tom you can find installation procedures at the following links:
http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/742385-1.html
http://www.expansys.fr/forumthread.asp?code=125518&thread=58
Finally, concerning the memory card you need to buy, I think that 256 is more than enough to run the Tom Tom 5 with Great Britain's map installed. This map is around 120 meg and plus the maximum of 50meg for the TomTom software, I believe 250 is ok. But, is better to buy a bigger mini sd card, if you want to add more maps.
I have a mobymemory 1Gb mini sd card installed in my XDA mini S and it works perfectly fine!!! See link:
http://www.mobymemory.com/1GB_2GB_mini_SD_miniSD_Memory_Cards_fromSanDisk_and_MobyMemory.asp
Also, you may find really usefull the USB miniSD Reader/ Flash Pen Drive - to make your mini sd work as a pen drive
I hope this info is good enough for you!!!
Has anyone managed to get Navman SmartST working on their XDA Exec (or variant) ?
I've got a Navman 4410 bluetooth GPS receiver with SmartST 2 software but I'm unable to get it to load or to get the 4410 to sync via bluetooth.
Any help would be appreciated
navman
Hi I got a Navman spin100 software and reciver from e-bay. and so far all seems to be working. But I havent been able to connect the bt reciver without runnig Smart ST. I lost my other bt reciver that worked fine it was a bt1000. I cant even copy the files from the navman sd card to my 2g sd card. I'm sure I will figure it out.
Hi all,
Anyone using BT GPS?
If so, which one, how do you find it, and what software are you running.
Thanks Guys..
Ratzz,
I use a holux unit, coupled with Garmin Que and GPS Proxy. It only works well wih the tytn rom. I tried it with the DOPOD rom but it keeps freezing the screen.
Another note, Using the tytn rom has eliminated my alignment issues with regards to the screen.
regards
TomTom 6 & a Fortuna GPSlim.
Takes a little while to sort itself out when TomTom starts, but seems fine after a couple of minutes.
I cant use Tom Tom cause of the malaysian Map not being available
I'm using Holux GPSlim 236 with Destinator 6 when on the road and OziExplorer when roaming in nature.
yes I do
Using a Xloc and tomtom 6
Work great
Holux GPSlim 236 with Tomtom 5 (I am about to upgrade) and PTGmap for topo maps in Garmin format.
Using Destinator 6 (yep, I work in Destinator) with a large variety of BT GPS: GNS, Royaltek, Globalsat, Emtec and some others.
Do not forget that after you pair a GPS using MS BT manager, you also need to enable an outgoing portfor this connection.
I'm using Tom Tom 6 with Hamlet gps BT and it's ok!!!

I am using Iguidance with the Globsat 338 Its ok, the only problem is that if a call comes through, you have to restart the program.
Which one is the fastest and smallest SirfIII-based BT GPS unit you would suggest for TomTom?
Fortuna Clip-on for me, used with iGo on my m3100, although I have also used it with tomtom on previous pda's. Will upgrade tomtom and put that on a memory card shortly.
I'm using a Navilock BT338 GPS Mouse (SIRF3), which works perfectly together with my MDA3,MDApro and MDA Vario2 as well! I'm using it with TT5.21 for more than a year, and will upgrade to TT6 (just tested, works fine too!) soon.
The navilock keeps contact to satellites which are not seen/found by several others, can even be kept in your pocket and works without problems behind thermo-windows in cars! It is very small and is working over a whole day without loading, standby more than a week, and ist very easy to set up (connect to COM4).
So does anyone have TOM TOM maps loaded on a SD card to use as GPS instead of having to connect to a GPS unit with their WING?
I saw a guy once who had the whole Tom Tom setup on his MDA and had all the maps loaded on his mem card to access them.
Any thoughts guys?
I´m not sure what you are going after here but if you have the TomTom dvd it will install maps to your SD card and you can access them without having a GPS unit, and plan routes. You cannot however use it to navigate in realtime since the Wing doesn´t have built-in GPS reciever. For that to work you wold need a bluetooth GPS receiver.
