:x :evil: I purchased a Leadtek wireless GPS receiver (model LR9537) and Navigator software for my IMate Pocket PPC 2003 Phone Edition device. I can bond to the GPS receiver but I cannot send or receive information - hence at the moment the software is unuseable.
I downloaded and installed the rom upgrade from the club imate website (which was supposed to fix the problem) but still no luck.
I contacted customer support in Nov 2004 and was told it would be looked in to, but to date have not got a reply from them with an answer. Frankly I am fed up with their customer service as they do not appear to be interested / able to help in solving problems of this type.
I went back to where I purchased the GPS equipment and they were unable to fix the problem. They even tried to talk with a nokia phone by bluetooth but it would not work either, so it narrows it down to being a problem with the bluetooth function.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so have they been able to work a solution? I am eager to get this problem resolved and start using the (expensive) software which I purchased. Are there any patches or additonal downloads that I need to install or is it just purely a matter of configuring the device correctly?
Which navigation software are you using, what settings are you using for the gps? When you bonded the gps were you given the serial port option for the gps device?
I have the Destinator 3 software. I am not sure what setting I am suppose to use other than a baud rate of 4800 and NMEA protocol.
I also have the leadtek software that came with the GPS.
When I ask the Destinator 3 software to find the GPS it does a search and goes through the different baud rates and the different ports but comes up saying that it cannot find the GPS. The leadtek software also cannot find the GPS from its own receiver!
When I bonded to the GPS all I had to enter was a four digit pin - nothing else.
As a side issue I also find that I must not turn on the bluetooth before running an application otherwise it tells me that the port is in use. If I leave it turned off the blue light will start flashing once I start running the application.
Is there possibly a compatability problem?
My leadtek lr9537 arrived on my door step yesterday, and as yet i am unable to keep a steady BT conection to it from either my laptop or universal (in o2 clothes). The BT on the GPS seems to fall over as soon as it picks up a fix. I am also as yet unable to get a GPS signal to my pda either. I'm gonna have a good play with the settings buit it almost seems as if the BT on the device is dodgy.
i'll post back if i find more....
I know that Garmin said that there GPS 10 is not compatible with 9100.
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?
Not much for help here with me, buddy.
I found that most of the gps software I had tried would not allow me to use my BT GPS...finally, Pocket Streets allowed me to set the com port to what I was able to set as the outgoing port on the 9100...it works fine....
I have a lot of useless mapping software now, and Pocket Streets isn't all that I would hope, but it will do for now...
I've heard rumors, on here, I think that TomTom will work, but I don't have that kind of money...
If you can get them to pair, that's great, but the software you use will need to be able to see the GPS at the outgoing port that you create on the 9100...
hope this helps a little.
Hi all,
Just go the xda through work, and even though i have got the new version of tom tom of their website (5.2) for ppc, when loaded and docked in my cradle, it cant sem to get the GPS to receive!?!?! anyone else had this problem?
I have an O2 XDA Exec and its working fine with the TomTom 5.2 software. I got some very useful info from http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6 ..... basically a post on there advised setting up an outgoing com port to the BT GPS device (I used Com0) ... this is found under Start>Settings>Connections>Bluetooth>ComPorts (after you have paired the BT device of course).
In TomTom you then select "Other Bluetooth GPS" in the GPS options screen, select the Com port set previously, and away you go.
I hope this helps
I bought a 32-channel QStarz GPS receiver from eBay, cracking little thing it is. I had problems getting it going though initially - what I had to do was setup a pairing, which was a little tricky as TT didn't want to behave.
Basically, TT tries to establish a serial connection whenever I open it. As TT loaded, just before it went into the TT interface, It showed a dialog box with all my serial connections in - I think it might've been the device pairing screen, but I've not been able to find it again... What I did was pick the gps receiver's serial port device entry I'd previously set up, select it, check the box to tell TT to always connect to this device by default, and then hit enter - all before TT managed to load into the interface. It took me a couple of goes, and I'm sure there's an easier way to do this (I don't think I was even supposed to see this dialog screen ) but now it works perfectly. I don't have to establish the Bluetooth connection to the GPS receiver, TT does that (and it'll even turn the Bluetooth on and off if it's not already on for me). However, I did have to choose Other NMEA GPS from the device options, and then tweak my COM port settings (I found a scant piece of information regardingthe fact that it should be something like COM5 for incoming data and COM6 for outgoing data, you would do well to doublecheck the TomTom site's FAQs for this info). There's a couple of seconds lag whilst TT correctly detects the device and begins to latch onto GPS sats (it says "No Compatible GPS Device Detected!", and then changes to something like "No GPS Signal Detected"... And then starts picking up sats.
This is all with TT5.0, by the way.
This document will be very useful.. principal is the same for most GPS Receivers..

Not sure if you are trying to receive through a Bluetooth GPS receiver - if you are, this worked for me (first poston the page);

Thanks for your help guys, but i meat to say i am using a wired GPS the small square official Tom Tom one, hard wired in to my cradle.
I can open the software and everything, but it just says, cant find GPS, the green light flashes on my GPS, but thats all it does.
Help!
Ok, so you're using a wired receiver.. That helps to know. You should be able to choose TomTom Wired GPS or Other Wired GPS, and it should just... work. If it doesn't, choose the nearest chocie to your receiver, and go into the Advanced settings (if the option button is available) - if so, doublecheck what your COM port settings are.
Where did you buy the cradel from, I just got ripped off to the tune of £48 off ebay due to the cradle not actually passing the srl connection through, all it does is provide power for a Bluetooth GPS Receiver out of the port on the side.
I think I've heard othe rpeople saying that wired GPS receivers will not work with the Universal. Can anyone confirm this?
What you have heard is correct the mini USB on the Exec WILL NOT accept a GPS connection, you need a bluetooth device for this to work - Mike
Tony B - that sounds like the cradle i am using - jasjar or jamjar something like that!
I have put my wired GPS straight in to the side, and nothing!!
think you might have got it mate!

Sup,
I bought a Qtek 9000 and it came with a Holux GPSlim 240 Bluetooth GPS Receiver. It only came with the receiver and nothing else (no manual, no cd, nothing). So now I have no clue on how to use it. I went to the Holux website and downloaded the manual but its no help. None of what they're showing in the settings are what I have. It looks like the manual is for WM2003, but I'm running WM5.
The phone came pre-installed with Garmin Que and GPSProxy. I have no clue how to use any of these programs. When I load GPSProxy and try to add a new virtual COM port, I get an error saying "Failed to load driver for new virtual COM port. There may not be a free COM port number.".
So if any of you know how to set this stuff up, tell me how.
Thanks all.

hello
with what gps software are you tryuing to use the receiver?
most of the time u have to connect it through bt at first
after that u can create a outgoing port ( i noticed that the first 5 dont work) , i used com port 7
after that u open the settings for gps in the program that you would us en set the settings for the holux receiver as you can find in the manual.
That should do it
greetzzz
Mr grey
the software that is already on the phone is Garmin QUE and GPSProxy
i connected the reciever through bt on my phone and enabled the serial thing
i went to the bluetooth settings and made the outgoing port for it, making it COM 8.
after that, i dont know what to do...
the manual that i got online doesnt help
got any ideas?
thanks
hello
normally now you must configure the settings in the gps soft of garmin.
for that u need a manual of the software, probably on h$$p://www.garmin.com
greetzzz
sup, I did what you told me in your last post and it worked. however, only on live search and google maps. I will look into the garmin website for the garmin program. thanks for your help!
Hi!
I have installed and configured the Franson GPS gate program on both Vista and WM side.
It connects, and it shows me that GPS data is coming in but it doesn't give me a fix on my position. When viewing the GPS tool program on WM side after a long while it manages to connect to one sattelite.
I have a Xperia which gives me a fix on my location almost instantly.
Does anyone know how to get the GPS to connect to the sattelites?
I was wondering if installing the quick GPS cab which is shipped with a lot of new devices.
Help appreciated
