hiya guys,
I just bought a tomtom navigator 5 Original Cd from a mate and installed it on my XDA II, well my nightmare turned out when i tried to connect it with my BT GPS receiver and it doesnt seeem to work. The gps works superb with 6630, 6600 but it doesnt work with XDa, i donno why. a friend suggested tht it only works with a Tomtom gps receiver, is tht true.
My question is, is it possible to use any bluetooth gps receiver with XDA for tomtom or do i need a special one.
thanks for looking
I use tomtom 5 with a third party bt gps reciever, I believe it is best to update to 5.1 though. 8)
First of all, install the last version : 5.2 :wink:
exactly same problem for me. My Gps is HAMLET BT. No solution until now.

bt
hello, i bought a cable gps reciever and was told by the seller i had turn off all incoming beams for this cable type to work, maybe its the same with the bt one?
have a search on this site
http://pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=index
Theres a seperate section for tomtom and lots of advice and tips
First time buyer of GPS unit and I need help choosing the right one. Thanks.
Btw, has to work in the UK.
I wouldn't dare say flawless , but the last 2 times i went to GB i didnt experience any problems with my current GPS receiver which is the
Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receiver 6033
this model is generally 20-30euros more expensive than the standard ones but it uses an advanced chipset to even get fixes in buildings and tunnels and can maintain more connections at once.
Manufacturers Site
Cheap one from www.mobilefun.co.uk
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm
£40! and works a treat.
Probably not as good as the Rikaline or the Holux 236 which is by far the best i've tried but for they are nearly double the price
Even uses the same kind of charger as the Wizard so effectively you get a free in-car charger for you PPC thrown in.
I successfully use a generic Nemerix based GPS mouse from adapt. You can find these rather cheap GPS device in many varities (lots of OEM manufacturers) on eBay.
In conjunction with TT5.2 it works like a charm.
Any suggestions for a good light GPS to fasten in the helmet. I have plans to track my routes during mountainbike tours.
GPS...
What a topic...
I have spent some time investigating the options for me...
I am a newbie on the PPC front and I am after my first GPS set up too...
OK everyone points at TomTom as the best option...is this so?
Any feedback will be greatly received and if I do go for it, I will probably go for their bundle...
For those running TTN5 on thier Wizards, please advise the speed and any issues...many thanks...

TomTom is also my #1 for road navigation.
What are the best choices for free-time navigation? Some candidates:
Pathaway, http://www.pathaway.com/pathaway3wm.htm, WM5 compatible?
OziExplorer, http://www.oziexplorer.com/
cant fault the holux 236
Nemerix
Hi,
I am using this GPS mouse (NEMERIX V3.0 Ultra Low Power Chipset). Simple installation, simple use, long battery life, cute size - my favourite!
U can get it e.g. here:

Im using a BT77 Bluetooth GPS. It provides a really great signal even inside, however I have had problems with the wizard, in that I have to drop and then re-partner the device in bluetooth, everytime I want to use it, but Im currently thinking its the MS Bluetooth stack at fault and not the Device, anyone have a similar experience ?
Hi,
I already have the tomtom wired gps receiver which i use with my ipaq 2210. I know the receiver connector wont fit onto my wizard but is there any kind of adapter that will change it from ipaq to wizard (min usb i think).
cheers

Afraid not. Wired receivers will not work on Wizard/K-Jam etc.. full stop. you need to get a BT GPS receiver.
I picked a cheap one up from www.mobilefun.co.uk for £40 and works a treat. 5 fixes even in car glove box
The Tomtom Bt Gps is the easiest one to connect to the wizard, other brands u may need to set comm ports in Tomtom navigator.
So far I tested Holux SIRF3, Tomtom MK2, Leadtek sirf3, all were working fine.
my Tomtom MKIII works perfectly with Wiz.
I'm using a BT880 picked up on ebay (new) for £30.
Works fine with my qtek (imate rom) and tomtom5.
Hi,
I'n bought an Oasis Bluetooth GPS Reciever. Is paired it with my Universal according to the tomtom install guide find on this site.
Unfortunately I cant get the dahm thing to work.
Tomtom keeps saying: No Usable signal.
Anyone got an Idea?
thnx
Hey,
I have purchased a BT-74R Bluetooth GPS receiver from ebay for my Orange SPV M600
I was wondering if anyone else has this receiver, or a similar one, and what version of TomTom are they using?
Just so I can get my PDA going with a version of TomTom that works with it!
Thanks!!
I have it, it is brilliant. Quick start up and strong signal, you can even get a good signal inside the house.
I have tested a number of SAT NAV programs, they all work perfectly with this phone and receiver, TOMTOM is the best so far for me, if IGO ever introduce Speed Camera Pois then it would probably win.
hi guys, i want to use GPS on my htc 8525 but i dont know how. Can u tell me some options to use GPS on htc 8525 without paying any monthly charges? I heard about gps reciever or microsd card gps etc... but i dont know how. help me thank you
Get TomTom or another GPS software that doesn't use data, and pick yourself up a bluetooth GPS receiver. When I had my 8525 I had a GlobalSat BT-359W receiver that I picked up @ Amazon and TomTom 6 and it worked like a charm. I've since upgraded to a Tilt (built in GPS) and TomTom 7.
You will have to pick up at least a 1 GB microSD card because the TomTom maps are 600 - 800 mb...depending on which ones you get. I would recommend something bigger though.
Hi there, i just bought a GlobalSat BT-359w like your and i have tomtom software too? so how can i make it work on my phone now. plz help thanks
