Jam + Polstar + TomTom bloody gps

Hi there!
I'm having problems connecting the three togather. I have I-Mate Jam (or Xda Mini, or Mda Compact - all the same), Polstar PBT111 bluetooth GPS and TomTom3. I tried different ways but this bloody combination still doesn't work... Plug and Pray so to speak... I hope I'm not the only one with this problem, so can someone please tell me how its done? Thanks in advance!!

I am using tomtom 3 with unnamed bluetooth gps and its working like a dream

I had the same problems with my bluei (or something like that) gps mouse.
Then i heard on another forum that i had to rename my device to TOMTOM Bluetooth GPS (exactly) and it worked ever since....

S100 + Polstar
I have a Polstar GPS and I spend a lot of time to configure my Jam with Tomtom 3.
I have Tomtom's GPS driver version 3.07 417/421. The first step it's to know which driver to choose and the answer is NMEA 0183V2 9600 (and the 4800 it's an another possibility) not a high rate.

tomtom 3.07 GPS, JAM (1.11 big ROM) and Polstar with no problems. I had issue with Rikaline one first and changed to Polstar. First pair using the BT manager and click yes to create COM port for it (the passkey is 0000). Then start tomtom, configure GPS as bluetooth NMEA on port COM5 and you should be all set.

TomTom5 and Royaltek GPS RBT2001 problem...

Hello Everybody!
I've got the following problem. I installed Tomtom 5 and can not get my Royaltek Bluetooth GPs mouse working with it. I tried much of things that are posted here but still nothing. The mouse is a Sirf III (RBT2001 of Royaltek)
With TomTom Navigator 3 i had after GPS update to version 3.07 no problems. I selected there: Sirf bluetooth device, and for connection: bluetooth GPS.
In Navigator 5 i tried also to let it communicate by assigned COM port 5, the connection light on the GPS mouse shows that it is connected to my MDAII but Navigator 5 keeps saying no GPS.
Anyone has an idea what to do, modify or use?
Thanx in advance.. really looking for at least any tips or tricks.
Greets, Remon

Am i right that i miss the option: Bluetooth GPS, what is there in TomTom Navigator version 3 and version 4.4 ??
Greets, Remon

After installing first version 4.4 and get it working there and then installiong Navigator 5 it is in some strange way just working now!!!!!

Orange SPV M500 Tom Tom Navigator/Bluetooth GPS Problem.

Hi there!
I've recently got a M500 and I have a cellink BTG-7000 Bluetooth GPS Reciever.
I can pair the M500 & Reciever but when I go into the Tom Tom Navigator it does not find the Reciever when I go to Preferences. (there are com ports there but no matter what port I select it doesnt find it)
Any ideas why?

Hi,
I had simular probs. after pairing with another BT device. Just paired with the GPS & all was fine, so
- make sure the GPS is the last paired device
- create a com port for the GPS
- try upgrading radio
- get another BT stack
I'm having the stack from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532 but can't say it solved it or not. But it works & I can use the BT GPS & a BT earpiece at the same time.
Good luck, M

How do I create a com port for the GPS? I dont seem to have that option.

My BT stack asks me whether to create a com port for it when I pair with my GPS. Also under the BT connection settings I've got a tab which read 'COM ports'.
Cheers, M

Mine doesn't have any of these options, strange?!
I guess thats the problem, it seems my M500 doesnt let you manually assign a port.
Any ideas on a fix then?

I am on radio 1.12 & got those options from radio 1.11 on. You can try the updated BT stack from the thread 'O2 mini new BT stock'
Maybe that helP as well, otherwise upgrade your radio.
Cheers, M

Take the wired gps, baudrate 9600 en after that test some comports. It takes a while when TT detects the receiver, so hold on a bit. Most of the time it is comport 4 or 5.

what version are you using, i had similar problems,
I found that if you install version 5.1 or 5.2 straight on then it will not find the gps.
i installed the original 5.0 from cd. then got GPS working. TomTom may ask you to reset the device to configure gps [it did for me].
i then upgraded to 5.1 then 5.2 and everything works perfectly.

I initially had the same problem with my BT GPS device and tomtom 5.0, but pairing them just before loading up tomtom and setting it to COM 5 and then waiting a while seemed to solve it!
Good luck!

Got-it!
Duh!
I must have missed something here, so I'm posting this for the few people who are thicker than I must be;-
When setting the BT com port under 'Bluetooth settings', the outgoing com port selection window is blank.
HOWEVER, choose 'settings>system>bluetooth setting' and voila!, that is where you see that COM5 is pre-chosen. (Why there needs to be a double-entry is another matter?)
Hope this saves someone some time.

tt5 and bt-gps

hi guys
need a little help please
i cant get my gps working on my O2 mini s. ive got tt5 and it works but no gps via bluetooth.
i can get it to work on my xda ii and on a ipaq h4100 but i have now sold them........
i just cant get it to pick up the gps!......i have added the bt-gps to the partnership group and added it as com6 (as i did on the other two) but i cant see com6 in the tt configure list. also i am unable to pair the gps as this option isnt available on the mini s.....
any help would be most appreciated.......im going bold

ive tried using the software that reconfigured the coms port in the register but that still hasn’t work.
software i used was GPSCOM, downloaded from here......
any ideas? has anyone got tt5 working on the mini s? am in posting in the right area?

Which version TTN5.0 or TTN5.21?
You will not get BT working with 5.0 without file swapping.
You need 5.21 minimum to configure GPS on a WM5 device. But be aware "older" maps may not run on 5.21.
Run the Update then shut down your device with the main power button. Reboot then configure the BT port in BT Settings.
Start TomTom then configure as "other bluetooth GPS" in GPS Status.

thanks for the reply
ive got v5.0 so will try this update.

No GPS Device

Hi
I have an XDA Exec which is only a few months old. I have used it with TomTom6 and a bluetooth GPS receiver without any problems. I haven't used it for a few weeks and I have been tryng to set it up for a trip but I keep seeing "No GPS Devive" on the screen.
Now you may be thinking that it's the receiver which is faulty as I did at first. I tried the receiver with another device and it's working fine.
I haven't changed or installed anything since it was last working so I'm at a total loss.
I have a bluetooth headset which is still working so the bluetooth is okay. I have even tried a hard reset and reinstalled TomTom.
Anyone any ideas please?

Hi,
You might try this:
http://franson.com/gpsgate/
I've had pretty good luck with it but I'm still learning about my Universal.
Good luck!

I would go to your Bluetooth manager page tap and hold on the GPS icon and select DELETE, next re-establish the bond/ pair between the device's and your application should start working again.
If you are unsure about setting up the device have a read through http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=50105 Which details setting up an Exec to work with the TomTom application - you should not need to use Fransons GPS Gate to get TomTom working, the utility from Franson is a great application when you find you have a need for it - Mike
