Hey All,
I have a problem with my O2 XDA s. I am using an application written in visual c# which is known to work on other phones. I have tried both a Holux GPSSlim 236 and another GPS device.
Both show up fine when I scan for them and I'm able to set up a "partnership" and add an outgoing comm port bound to the device. But when I start the program all I get is "On, StartingUp" I never recieve any GPS data.
Attached is the source code which I believe is a slightly modified version of Microsofts example source code. Any help would be greatly appreciated this is a rather frustrating problem!!
My device is an XDA s running windows mobile 5.0.
Cheers

Can anyone help ?????
I have a XDA II and I'm trying to get it paired with my NAVMAN 4410.
When I try to bond the 2 units my XDA asks for a pin number, but the bluetooth gps doesn't have a pin.
Can anyone help with this
Thanks

try entering 4 zeros.
if that doesnt work then have a look through the documentation that came with the gps unit.
if the makers set one, there will be a note of it in there somewhere
good luck
You will need the navman patch software and also you will most likely need bluetooth tools. make sure you delete the bonding before installing the new software then rediscover and rebond.
Do a search in this forum for "Navman"
Connecting the Navman 4400 series has been pretty well covered under the "Stocking up for it forum".
The biggest pain about the Navman is that the PIN is "NAVMAN" and the MS BT stack will not accept non numeric PIN's. Fortunately a wonderful guy called TOWA has released some fixes.
You need to install the enablechar.exe onto your machine to be able to key in the alphabetical PIN (Grrrr NAVMAN!).
If you run the latest ROM (I have the excellent 02 Asia 1.60 ROM) it has a BT Serial port built in. If you run earlier ROMS you may need TOWA's Bluetooth Tools.

If you do use this software, think about sending TOWA a donation. It is great guys like him that help us to get the best from our XDA's

I have a Navamn GPS 4100 and a XDA Pocket PC but I can not make the link between them, The XDA does not allow me to write the PIN "NAVMAN ", it does only allow to write numbers. Can anyone send me the papatch to allow writting letters?
Thanks
Hi Inigomorales
Sounds like you have an XDA 1 and a wired Navman, correct? I have xda 2 and bluetooth Navman 4400 and use the enablecharacterpin program. Not sure if it works with your config, but don't see why it would not. Here it is!
Hope this helps

: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....
Hello everybody !!
I am a newbie with my 02 XDA II device and also new to this (great)forum. I've learned quite a lot about my PPC on this site but now I've got a problem I wasn't able to solve yet:
I recently bought a Royaltek 2000 Sapphire GPS Device (Sirf II chipset) which connects by wire to the serial port of my XDA II.
When I first connected both devices it all worked out with the Software I installed for testing (GPS Dash/VisualGPSce).
Due to problems with my car cigarette lighter (from which I get the power to operate both devices) which I tried to fix - I might have damaged or destroyed my GPS device.
I always get the message that com port 1 cannot be opened.
Now I wonder whether this is because I might have destroyed my gps device or because some other program is blocking the com-port (as the software suggests).
My question therefore is: How can I find out whether or not any other programs are blocking my com-ports. Is there software out there to check on the Com-Port status ?
I just wanna make sure that the problem lies within my GPS Device before I throw it away. If you know of any method to test the GPS Device's functionality itself - I'm certainly interested in that as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice on my problem.
Go to settings/connections/beams and make sure the incoming beams box is UNCHECKED.
Thanks for helping me with my problem. Your advice worked out fine. I didn't expect this problem to be solved that easily. Thanks folks !
Has anyone successfully had a navigation package running via the GPS ID (intermediate driver) that comes shipped with WM5 on an XDA Exec? I have enabled the feature using the registry change to set "Hide" to zero, and configured it to find my Bluetooth GPS receiver.
The software I developed (which uses the GPSGetPosition() API call, not a serial port) works perfectly well. But I have tried the Dell Navigation software and found that it will not work via the program port. My customers report the same (or similar) problems with TomTom Navigator 5 and CoPilot 5.
Obviously my next step is to try Navigon 5 (which works on my Axim x51 via the GPS ID) on the Exec and see if it works the same way, which would help me narrow down the fault to the driver or the nav software. But I just wondered if anyone has actually seen this working on the Exec?
i don't have a gps (yet ;-) but i would think that Pocket Streets (shipped with Autoroute) would support it, as it's a Microsoft application.
Well, the whole point of the way it works is that anything that works with a serial NMEA GPS output should support it. Just seems a little coincidental that between me and two customers we've now had three nav systems that don't like it, all on the same platform.
where?
I want to down
I know I'm not the only one to have experienced this but I can't find a solution in the archive. Any help would be much appreciated.
System: O2 XDAII, Rom v1.60.00, WM2003. In other words never upgraded.
GPS receiver: Holox BT321
I'm trying to get these to pair but although the XDA sees the Holox and makes a pair I'm getting a steady light on the Holox showing no active connection between the two.
It seems to be a com port issue. The only incoming com port available through Bluetooth->Connection settings is COM5. I've downloded Pocket Bluetooth Tools and attempted to configure the connection as a Serial port, but the only port available for selection is COM7. Presumably this is why they won't pair up properly? I read things about 'creating com ports' and such like but I see no way to do that on my OS.
The GPS does not have any software with it, all that's on the cd is an installation guide. The Holox website looks extinct so no help there.
I haven't tried to put any satnav software on the XDA yet, if that makes any difference. I have TomTom 5 (a used copy so not sure if it will activate!).
Any help gratefully received! Thanks.
Oops never mind - the clue was in the GPS software, or lack of it. I've installed a freeware gps prog and the holox is blinking away happily now
Use GPSGate
Ok!,the best way ( form experience) to pair most of the GPS devices with A PDA, no matter which one with WM2003 or later is to use GPSGate software from Franson http://franson.com/gpsgate/ , this will allow you to split the hardware S.Port to more than one virtually, and starts the BT automatically ones you set it.... Have Fun
