despite a lot of digging none of the suggestions for getting a BT/GPS working did the job for me, well, they did for TT5 sometimes but did not work for the Garmin software.
I then after reading some more had a bright idea, why not just create a registry entry in HKLM Drivers with just a blank COM4 entry, after all, the problem seems to be that the com port is not fully established until the software starts talking, and the Garmin software does not show it till it is fully established - no doubt some of you will better understand the inside than me !!!
anyway, for the first time my garmin que software with my garmin gps10 is actually showing where i am ;-)

Can you tell us exactly the key you have added?
i created a key
hkey_local_machine/drviers/active/73
and in there created a string value
Name = COM4:
this method does not seem to work for tomtom5 but the other methods posted work for that, but for garmin que with gps10 (along with the regedit to unhide the interface option onque) i can then see an extra entry onthe com list and when i select that que detects com4 and finds the gps and works.
i suspect there is something else i should do as for some reason the entry in garmin que shows up as a blank line or with a square instead of listed as com4, but que lets me select it anyway !!
Mapsource and Que on WM5
Thanks, this sorted out my problem. Now I'm able to link my JasJar and GPS10.
Now I have problem with my Mapsource and nRoute. They do not detect the device.
Any ideas?
Hi,
i have not really tried using nroute at all to be honest, though i do use mapsource on my pc - indeed i have used it for several years as i also have a streetpilot 3 that came with my motorbike ;-)
that part i had no problem with.... apart from the garmin registration being a little complicated !!!!! if i remember right (i am not at home) you have to register the maps against the serial number of the gps (this is the serial number which is on the label and the registration card). this is done on the garmin website. that gives you an unlock code which you enter in to mapsource itself.
you can then use mapsource to select what maps to copy, the easiest way is to take the sd-card from your jasjar and put it into a card reader in the pc, and mapsource writes them straight down. then put the card back in to the jasjar.
actually, garmin are quite helpful, and they allow you to unlock each map against two gps's so i now have all my maps unlocked against both my streetpilot3 and my gps10/que.
you can see on the garmin website what is or is not unlocked. i guess the files mapsource creates have some sort of signature so that when que runs it knows if the maps are being used against the correct gps.
the other good news is that i have tomtom running as well, i simply go to the gps menu of the jasjar to enable the access-managegpsautomatically when i want to use tomtom which then works happily against the logical port, and disable it when i want to use que which works against the actual bluetooth com port.
let me know if you still have problems and i will write again when at home with my pc and mapsource
it seams accept com8 when you set the outgoing port in the bt setting with tt5

Same here! Detect nothing....
I really want to transfer the maps, and that can´t be done without detection.. please help!
downloading maps
well, i have not used nroute at all, but mapsource can download direct to a memory card (SD or whatever) using any normal pc adapter, and then when you put the card into your universal, because the universal has detected the gps10 it will open the maps no problem. before doing the download you simply have to register the maps against the gps serial number - this is done on the garmin website, that gives you the unlock code which you enter into mapsource.

The problem is that I can´t send it to my device.
Have ulocked all maps already.. pressing the send to device botton and it workes... only on my Qtek S100. Now on my Wm2005 device...
And it is only the new device I would like to use..
So, the problem is that I cant get the maps to the 2005 device.
I followed the steps from the first post in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 link and worked fine for me

I know that Garmin said that there GPS 10 is not compatible with this one.
But I manage to make some settings so i could pair the units together.
Only one problem.. when I try to install basic map and other maps my computer wont find the device.
It says that the unit is not connected...
My Qtek S100 workes directly.. but I have just upgraded to 9100 and would like to get it to work..
Any suggestions?
PPC-6700 with Garmin GPS 10 BT
This is EXACTLY where I am at as well with my PPC and the GPS 10. I don't understand how it can detect the PPC-6700 and install the Que software and the Voice files through ActiveSync, but yet when you get to the installation part of the basemaps, it doesn't detect?!?! Something doesn't make sense! If you call Garmin, they will just inform you that the R&D team has not come up with a solution as of yet, and when they do, it will be available for download in the updates section. If you look on the setup cd with the basemaps, they are .img files, but I cannot find a program to manipulate them. I was thinking of maybe finding out a program to "uncomrpess" the .img basemaps from the CD then copy them over to the PPC. Any suggestions?
Garmin iQue issue
I was spending quite a while looking for this issue already.l
Had some help from Garmin to proceed with com port allocation.
But for the issue with Mapsource to Garmin link they doesn't reply at all.
My clue is that something wrong with RAPI interface which has changed between ActiveSync 3.8+WM03 and 4.0+WM05.
If you watch how older devices work you can see that ActiveSync launches (on PPC) RapiSrv.exe program which will deal with Mapsource by the use of QueRapi.dll.
I've looked for the number of documents on Microsoft regarding new activesync and wm2005, looks like we need new version of ppcQue.
I use Imate Kjam + GPS10
If you find some fix, please drop me a text on mekel#yandex.ru.
Thanx.
Universal vs BT GPS
My HW: T-Mobile DE MDA Pro with I-mate ROM - Emtac Wayfinder BT GPS
The main thing was the fluent line from BT hardware port to my iGO Navigation software. At the beginning, in iGO, I only saw the reserved COM ports. BUT
1. Use Bluetooth manager to connect GPS reciever and set Outgoing port to COM0
2. Use the registry editor to create the GPS Settings icon in Settings (HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Hide -> value: 0
3. Use the GPS Settings setup, to mount HW port to COM0, SW port to COM4
4. Install franson GPS Gate, and set up using Input port: physical COM4, Output port (create) virtual port COM8
5. Install iGO, and select COM8, to get the coordinates for the ride
This works for me, hope to others as well!
BUT: after a soft reset, it isn't reachable. That is because active ports on the HTC Uni are dynamically changed after a soft reset. I'm working on a constant solution...

No but I've used Memory-Map with great success. Took the same fiddling as Tomtom to get the GPS COM port working.
6 days later, gps10, is working
After trawling through a load of forums and after reading this one i thought i would put my solution, probably a bit late.
Firstly bought the full gps10 package from rs, loaded nroute on the laptop unlocked the maps, loaded the universal (m5000) with que, then the tried to upload the maps. didnt recgonise the pda. so then tried to get the bt gps working and that failed as well.
got gpsproxy working but it was a bit hit and miss, so called garmin and asked them why they sell it when it dosent work, was just about to have a good old shout at them when they offerd to e-mail me a new patch.
So installed the new garminque.exe file over the top of the new one and it picked up the bt/gps on com4. easy enough. then tried again to upload the maps but no joy, borrowed a card read/writer from work took that home and mapinstall worked fine chose my maps and tested it last night.
So if you are having trouble i'm posting the file so other people should find it a bit easier, hope this helps. oh my sd card is a 1gb fujitsu sd card
The full instructions from garmin follow
Here is a fix for the GPS 10 Bluetooth connection problems with a Windows
Mobile 5 Pocket PC. I have written out more detailed instructions that
should be easy for the customer to follow and implement:
Thank you for contacting Garmin International
Rename the attached file from GarminQue.zip_ to GarminQue.zip so WinZip will
recognize the extension.
Double click on the file and it should unzip. Unzip this to the desktop,
this will unzip to the file garminque.exe
To install... drop the GarminQue.exe file in the \Garmin\ directory and
overwrite the previously installed .exe. on the unit itself.
You can do this by going into the My Computer Icon. Double click on Mobile
Device. Double click on My Pocket PC. Double click on the Garmin folder.
Here is where you copy the garminque.exe.
This will put the modified file right on the unit itself. This will then
allow the software to use the unit's available com ports instead of looking
for just com 2 and com 7.

Hi !
I installed the GPS-enabled ROM from the HTC Homepage - and TomTom 6 for Pocket PC - not the Trial Version from the HTC Homepage.
but when configuring the GPS receiver - I can not find any build-in device..
It`s only "other GPS receiver", Bluetooth-GPS receiver and so on.
could you please help me ???
thx
hans
Read other threads...
There are a lot of threads about GPS and TomTom
go to the TomTom site and look for the PocketPC upgrade that is specific to the HTC devices. it will upgrade TomTom so you can select the internal GPS receiver. for now, you can also use the "Other NMEA" device.
maps ?
Hi !
thanks !
I installed my TomTom6 Version - and downloaded the Plugin for the HTC device.
But I had to install this TomTomHome Software in order to install this plugin.
but when I want to configure TomTom it tells me that I could download
one map for free..
BUT I want to use my existing "Western Europe" maps.
I copied them to "My Documents" - but it doesn`t recognise it...
Could you please tell me how I could re-use me TomTom6 maps.
thx

Put the map folder back in the memory card root
Hi Folks,
I was wondering a while ago if there would be a way to use the internal FM-radio for TMC purposes in TomTom which is pre-installed on the Cruise.
After a bit of searching on the web, i found a small program called DecoRDS, made by J.R. Pueyo (big credits to him!)
Now, i installed this on my Cruise with TomTom6 and initially it didn't work.
So, here are my settings on which the tool works and seems to work (haven't established a full working setting just yet):
Code:
1. Install both files provided from the link on your device. NOT MEMORYCARD
2. Run DecoRDS
3. go to Input, Port, and set it to COM4
4. go to Input, 9.600 bps and set it to 57.600 bps
5. Press OPEN, which will start the RDS tuner
6. go to Input, CONTROL, and select manual. Now you can search the frequencies for the RDS signal.
(optional: 7. enter 98,6 since it's Radio 1 with ANWB TMC for Netherlands)
Now, this SHOULD work, but i haven't figured it out completely yet, since it doesn't work in TomTom yet.
Anybody interested in helping me find out?
Here's the rapidshare: http://rs13.rapidshare.com/files/59746182/DecoRDS_Netherlands_beta.zip
Don't you need the wired earphones attached for the radio to receive any signals?
most certanly you do,
or at least a spliter (htc usb to audio usb and charge)
Great discovey,
can you post a link to the program's webpage to keep informed on future releases ?
sorry i can't help test it
My cruise is in service, and in romania there isn't any station with tmc
I searched so long for an application like this!!! Is it only working for NL users? Can it also work with iGO8?
thanks
hompage is www.lacasadelgps.com but i can't find any information about the software
a lot of information here
it looks like it is possible to have TMC on normal PDAs. even more it is possible to have TomTom use the TMC data.
After reading the forum I see that it is possible to use TMC in some countries.
This due to the fact that you need "translation tables". these tables "translate" the name of the road (say A12) to map coordinates in TT. It looks these tables are only available for Spain and Italy at the moment.
... and .de and .nl

DecoRDS's purpose is to decode RDS data received by a GPS-TMC receiver. It decodes the NMEA wrapping, maps the TMC location code to a geographical position using location tables then it send the information to Tomtom.
It does not work as far as I know with HTC Touch Cruise/Polaris internal radio.
You might be right, as i can't seem to get any frequency with a working RDS signal. I have the frequency, but the program doesn't seem to use the internal radio... Bummer. Wonder if it could, only problem is, i don't have any knowledge of programming...

Not true
TT is able to use TMC. If TT7 has the subroutines to use it I do not know. TT is using the same programmingcode for all their devices. They sell their own TMC receiver. http://www.tomtom.com/products/accessories/accessory.php?ID=510&Product=500&Category=0

Sorry, but this simply isn't true.
TomTom Go devices are TMC ready but Linux based.
TomTom Naviator isn't TMC ready and Microsoft Windows Mobile based.
Both versions have strictly nothing common (except GUI).

I can't find any TMC signal with this configuration (with italian tables).
I need help!
I can install Garmin XT in HTC Diamond but it didn´t work.
When I try to configure the com port it returns to "none".
select GPS Intermediate Driver instead of a COM port.
The problem is with the GPS hardware port, not with the program port, in HW port can find only com ports.
i have it set to "Use serial GPS" and there are COM4 and COM7 (COM7 is BT)..and when it's set, it shows "COM:4 COM4:"
Garmin GT
Yes, you can install and use Garmin on your HTC Diamond. I'm using this GPS sw. You need to "crack" the sw, and get a serial associated to you device.. I will try to put a doc next weekend (in spanish.. sorry) to install and use de sw..Be patience
The answer is: turn off A-GPS, the GPS with Garmin XT works well now

//nortonnc: have you solved your problem?
I dont need gpsgate anymore because i own legally purchased maps and in this case garmin works with no problem .But i think new Garmin mobile xt V5 work also without garmin gps reciever on Diamond.
I have same problem too, I already installed garmin+map, but it always show searching for satellites, nothing happen, how to config the garmin? and is there any config needed from the phone? plase the answer, thanks.
sorry for my bad english.
I know this is not the real key forum for Navis but I thought I give it a try as my prob could be related with the OS.
And I know this device is not in the compatibility list for TomTom Navigator 7 but usually the TT Navi7 works on Win 5 and Win 6 devices.
I have:
- an HP ipaq (model hw6915) with
- Windows Mobile WM 5 (searched this forum for a Win 6 ROM and it looks like some smart guys are currently working on that so I could not yet give it a try with Win 6)
According to the ipaq user manual, the device has this GPS receiver installed:
- GL20000 from Global Locate. In case a manual setting is required for a software, the ipaq manual mentions to set it to COM 7 and a BAUD rate of 57600.
Here is my problem:
I had installed Navigator 6 and it worked fine – but with outdated maps as the new maps require Navigator 7. So after some years of using the old Navigator 6 I installed now the TomTom Navigator 7.917.9186 plus the recent Europe 2GB maps.
The new Navigator 7software starts fine and accepts the new map, but it does not recognize the internal GPS antenna. I receive the message “no GPS devide”. Then I tried a bit and switched (in TomTom Navigator settings) from the “internal” to “other NMEA GPS receiver” and tried different Baud rates. With this setting the Navigator does receive GPS signal – once in a while (1 signal about every minute – just enough to locate the current position but not enough to really navigate).
So obviously the Navigator 7.x does not get correct GPS signals from the built-in antenna (while the older Navigator 6 always did).
Oh and I tried a free utility called GPS Proxy, which copies GPS signals from the inernal antenna to another (virtual) COM port, and I configured TT Navigator 7 to read out from that virtual COM port the GPS proxy is sending its data to. No success.
Any idea how to solve that problem?
Once again, I know this is not the right forum for Navigation software but I thought I give it a try....
sometimes ago on my hw6915 i used the 7.910 version without problems.
try to use this version.
regards,
Sold
Thanks Soldato. Tried the the 7.910 version again but same result - except that in addition to the problem the phone´s speaker gets de-activated. Somehow this speaker problem can be overcome by deleting/replacing a certain file in the Windows folder (I had tried the 7.910 version already half a year ago and I found out how to switch on the speaker but forgot what I did....)
Hmm. Also no loader or converter etc. seems to exist that would allow using the newer TT maps with the older (but working) Navigator 6 software.
Looks like I will keep my ipaq hw6915 in the box for a while till a GPS-supporting WM 6 version can be found.
i can try!!
can u send your tomtom soft, n charts, i have hw6915
i'll try them up for ya n give you a hint!!
[email protected]
Sure I will mail it, but its nothing fancy. You can find the corresponding TomTom Navigator software everywhere on the web.
Does TT 7 work on your hw 6915?

Ähm sorry if I might look stupid, but how can I delete a single dll file from the Windows folder? I tried in Active Sync and directly from the ipaq file explorer but can neither replace nor rename nor delete it. And was also not able to change the file parameters.
using file explorer tap on 'show all files' to see the dll or try "total commander" file manager (needed for wm2003se)
