Hi,
I've installed Destinator 6 for PDA's on my MDA Compact. It's the only software installed besides the default ROM and Route66. (I only use it for navigation)
But no matter what settings I try in Destinator, I keep getting the message "GPS antenna not found".
But when running Route66......no problems at all with my GPS receiver. So how come Route66 is able to find my paired GPS receiver, but Destinator isn't?? Is Destinator THAT crappy??
Destinater 6 works fine for me. Even with a virtual com port. Sounds like you don't have the com configured correctly. There is a 'find GPS' function in destinator 6.
I too have Destinator 6 with a Globalsat BT308 GPS and it works perfectly.

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!!!
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!!!!!
Greetz, Remon
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've installed AA Navigator, but I have a problem - when creating an Outgoing COM Port in WM5 on my O2 XDA Mini S, it only lets me use COM6 or COM7. However AA Navigator only has options for COM0,1,2,3,4,8 and 9. I have a Holux GPSlim 236 BT receiver.
It works fine with TomTom Navigator 6, it lets me choose COM6.
Help!
Hi,
I have a new Orange SPV M3100. It is a replacement for one which was damaged. Prior to to exchange I was running navigator 6 on the old phone with a navicore bluetooth gps receiver fine. I have installed tomtom navigator 6 on my new phone but there is no way I can get a GPS signal. The gps receiver is connected. I then try to connect via tomtom and nothing. Have followed instructions on this link to no avail:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=1402&SID=0&CID=223&Language=1&FID=4806
The problem is that when trying to select a port there are no bluetooth serial ports listed. I have spent 2 days trying to get this sorted to no avail. any help would be appreciated.
turn on bluetooth,make sure tomtom is not running,and go to bluetooth settings,search for devices and pair with the gps unit.
then assign the device a port,i always choose 9 and close.restart phone start tomtom and setup gps device as other etc and port 9 should show and hopefully the jobs oxo!
i hope this helps
great instructions...
only one thing to add, on a certain build of Tomtom (i forget which i have used every build since version 2 IIRC)
i had to tell tomtom that i was using "Other NMEA GPS Reciever"
On all other builds i have had to do the same steps to pare the BT GPS device, followed by making the OUTGOING Com port and then tell TomTom i was using "Other Bluetooth GPS Reciever" in order to get it working...
if your having problems see if one or the other device can make the difference ONCE YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
