am having problems with IGO2006 finding my bluetooth gps and Imate Jasjar, tried using wm5 gps manager, franson gpsgate and igo does not find my gps, works ok using tomtom, can anyone suggest anything please?
contact the software suppliers of those particular applications ensure they are wm5 compatible, and you are using the latest app.
gps on wm5 has caused significant problems for many, but if you have tomtom working, then the device appears to be working.
There's absolutely no magic to that. Pair with your BT receiver, create/assign an outgoing COM port (COM0 or COM8) and then specify that port in iGO or anby other GPS program. baudrate is not important, but 38400 is the default.
Try this "WM5GPSPatch.CAB":

Works for me with iGO

Both GPSGate and VisualGPSCE don't actually see the outgoing com I create there, although TomTom does. Does anyone know why?
Some programs don't handle a COM0 but all should be able to see a COM8. Make sure to uncheck "Secure connection"
Just tried again with a no name BT receiver on COM8 and iGO finds it just fine.
The tip about COM0: worked, changed to COM4: and all works OK.
Changed TomTom to COM4: too and all working as well
Many Thanks

I still have some trouble with the mentioned combination and thanks a friend I managed to narrow the cause to the combination of TomTom and the DConnex:
I am unable to confirm in TomTom GPS the 'Bluetooth GPS' port when I have paired the DConnex.
I am able to confirm in TomTom GPS the 'Bluetooth GPS' port when I have paired a Globalsat BT-308 BT GPS (and NOT creating a serial port!).
Only way to get the DConnex working in TomTom is to pair is and create a serial port. In TomTom you have to select COM5.
The configuration on COM5 works with TomTom as long as there is a BT Connection. When there is NO BT connection, the MDAII hangs upon starting TomTom.
With the 'Bluetooth GPS' configuration (=not possible with DConnex) TomTom works even when there is no BT connection!
As I did not find any answers here, on xda-developers.com and with TomTom Support, I guess I have to live with this situation.
STILL: Any help / sugestions are greatly apppreciated!!!!
I have the dconnex 230 and it works with my XDAII, I can't help you at the moment because the dconnex stopped charging and I've sent it for repair, but if you still got problems when it retruns, I'll detail my configuration.
xda-rocks:
My DC-230 does work with the MDAII.
But in TomTom ONLY when I create a serial port (during bonding) and assign COM5 in TomTom GPS (V3.03).
Is that your config too?
Or did you manage to use the 'Bluetooth GPS' port in TomTom (maybe without creating an serial port during bonding?
I would like to have the latter config as that makes it possible to start TomTom without a BT connection to the GPS.
Like I mentioned: I did succeed in getting this config running with another BT GPS.
Plz note: This is about the Himalaya with latest T-Mobile ROM (1.72.190, but with add-ons) with the DConnex DC-230 (rebadged Holux GR-230) BT GPPS!!!
I am having difficulties connecting the Jasjar with my GPS TELETYPE on BT.
The com ports are really confusing me. I am using Destinator 3, and after I have paired the GPS device, and have selected a serial port connection, Destinator can’t find a GPS receiver.
Have anyone successfully connect a BT GPS with Jasjar?

Hi, geovass.
Did you see the prompt that the device supports Serial Port Profile? If not did you try to delete the paired GPS and try to re-pair again?

I have done the pairing twice already. No, i dont get a prompt that the device supports Serial Port Profile.
I've got it working.....
First you've got to pair your GPS.
Then go to the "COM" tab in the bluetooth manager
Add a new outgoing port with the GPS as device
Then install you're navigation software !!!
It works fine in combination with the Jasjar, Emtac GPS and TomTom Navigator 5.1

I have done what you've describe, without installing the GPS SW (destinator) second. Do you think this is the case.
I can never match the com ports i use on the outgoing port and on the Navigaton software. The ports cant be the same...
It seems that i cant select any com ports on the outgoing port except from port0 and port8.
If i select one of those 2, i dont see them in Destinator's GPS settings tab.
Just used a hex editor to change the port manualy in Destinator.ini and it worked like charm !
I have the same issue. I can only connect com 0, 4 or 8 to my Emtac but TomTom5 only shows 6 and 7...
Anyboby who can help?

Me too have had the universal for a week now tried reg hacks utils etc cant get it to use com 0 4 8 evean if enable wm2005 GPS to remap ports ...
same port with bluetooth com ports for syncing
I have encountered the same problem as u, but while trying to get bluetooth connection to sync with PC... so far no luck...
I know the trick is to select COM5 for the Outgoing Port in your GPS, and then, somehow, make TT5 show the COM5. In order to do that, some hacking must be done at the registry which I have no idea how to do that.
BT GPS with another GPS software
Hi,
Anyone using TomTom5 with BT Gps Have tried another gps software?
Close TomTom and tried to connect to the new software serial port and sucedd?
Let me know how you have done.

Does anyone know wheter the AKU2 service when realeased will solve the problems with tomtom not allowing you to select the only two available com 6 and com 7 ports.
Iv'e been scanning other threads and can't find an answer to resolve the probelms with connecting a bluetooth gps devise to tomtom on the mini s.
My mini s is operating on ROM 1.5.4.2 WWE and doesn't have the required serial port manager, is this a common probelm.
Can I ask what version of TomTom you have installed?
I set-up my XDA Mini S last night with no problems. Connected to my cheapo bluetooth GPS reciever (£40 from Mobilefun) to tomtom (v5.210) using COM7.
You need to set-up the com port for the device in the bluetooth connection manager first and then the port should be available in tomtom.
I have tomtom nav 5 installed.
I have also installed the V 5.2.1 patch (if thats correct) from the tomtom website.
I'm using the Holux 236Slim GPS receiver, but when i go into tomtom and configure using Other NMEA GPS on baud rate 4800 (seen this reccomendation on other forums) i can only select COM9, COM3, COM0 and COM2.
In my bluetooth manager i've set up the outgoing port to COM7 (it recognises the devise) but it still doesn't appear in the tomtom configuration.
I'm pulling my hair out with this one, it seems as though may others are having the same problem but i can't find the solution.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I had same problem last week. I suggest uninstall everything related to tomtom and find version 5.21 after the installtion your device (tomtom) will recognize the port 7 immediately... Regards...
COM ports mismatch
I had the same problem of mismatching COM ports for settings Active Sync sinchronization via bluetooth between PC and PDA Wizard.
I solved this problem by deleting in registry editor the serial devices which were configured on COM6 and COM7 ports on my PC (they were used from a USB-to-serial adapter).
Search in registry editor of your PC which device are configured on COM6 and COM7 ports and remove them from registry if you can.
I strongly suggest you to backup your PC registry before making any changes. Do it only if you are sure of you are doing.
Of course you need PC Administrator profile in order to make any changes to PC registry.
Bye. :wink:
Have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43412
hmmm... as mentioned above it just worked for me but I did a clean install of v5.210 of tomtom and did not do an upgrade.
I think from looking at other posts the version of tomtom is important.
Do the uninstall and see if you can get hold of a full v5.21 installation as I have seen some kicking about on various torrent sites.
Sorry I'm not more help.

Does anybody know how to get the XDA EXEC to work with BT GPS
FGPXBT02 as I am really struggling to get this device to work. My phone can see the device in bluetooth but when I run TomTom 5 on the phone the program cannot see the GPS device in the "OTHER BLUETOOTH RECEIVERS" section
Any ideas?
create a outgoing com(0-10) port unsecured
then select that com port in your tomtom by selecting different GPS receiver
Scouse - please modify topic title to give more helpful info...

hi viper thanks for info tried that but the tomtom software does not see com0 in the other bluetooth receiver section. this is the problem i am having.
Don't use "Other Bluetooth", use "Other Wired GPS receiver" and select the com port there. I think if you select a Bluetooth GPS, TomTom will try to find the device for itself rather than using the connection you've configured manually.
Hi I have tomtom 5 and the BT device is on Com8 I just tried all com ports until one worked. Its set to other bluetooth and connects everytime.
would prefer it to automatically set though.

HELLLP upgraded to WM6 on my BA and now my i-Blue GPS reciever wont sync up and TOMTOM cant even see it im gonna scream and cry has anyone got any ideas??? PLEASE PLEASE help
My BA works fine with my GPS receiver (make sure you added it, and assign COM port to the incoming port). Then I use TT6 with COM6 and it works just fine.
Some people uses the GPS application in Settings, but I did not.
now that used to be the case however i no longler have the ability on the menu to choose the BT ports on TT6 i have in this order..
BT UART
SERIAL CABLE ON COM 1
COM 9
IR ON COM 3
and thats it theres some missin:S any ideas??
also its just not syncin up like it used to with Wm2003 Grr
Try to assign to your receiver COM 1 or COM 9
Sometimes it is the GPS application that doesn't know how to use the external GPS management program.
Go to Settings -> Connections -> External GPS, set the two ports to "none" and uncheck the option to manage the ports automatically. Reset the device and try to choose the same port you have chosen at pairing.

Wow! it works great man!! thanks kerio (and gang)!!
This is kind of bit off-topic, but since you're talking about bluetooth GPS on a Blue Angel I wanted to ask: how well does it work? As I have do not have any sense of direction at all, I've been thinking about buying a Bluetooth GPS receiver, but can a $35 GPS really be accurate and work well? Will any BT GPS receiver work? What kind of software do you use on the PDA? Thank you!
hi, set the gps hardware port (com6) in the external gps settings. set the new outgoing port in the blutooth settings (com6) and in the TT6 set the com6 in other nmea gps. it works.
