Maybe not smart to ask but .......
would it be possible to use the internal GPS signaal as a bluetooth signal and sending it by bluetooth to my laptop via ser.bt.port,
has to do with some seamaps on laptop .
thanks

It sure works with my computer over USB cable.
You need GPS Gate and the right settings.
That program has also an option for that same thing over bluetooth.
GPS Gate has under output options one option to act as an "bluetooth server" and that should work.
For USB cable i have set the output over "activesync" on Trinity and then the GPS Gate on Trinity serves GPS data over activesync to the GPS Gate on PC and it works
You can try and buy GPS Gate here:

I use http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
This freeware works fine with bluetooth.
thanks
I found it and I am testing now
thanks a lot !

I recently purchased a bluetooth GPS receiver (branded as Fusion with X70 as the name on the back - purchsed from Polstar) and TomTom5 software but cannot get the two to work together.
I have bonded the receiver and set it as COM7 and I can choose that in TomTom5 as the COM port to use but it always says "No GPS Device!"
I have also downloaded and installed the BlueTooth Tools software but this hasn't helped either.
I have an o2 XDA2 and any help with this would be much appreciated.
I think mine is set to BT on com6. You must make sure the GPS receiver has a satellite signal before you try to configure tomtom (flashing light or whatever). Keep trying different settings, that's what I did
I think I have tried all the settings I can, I am beginning to wonder if i've got the correct version of TomTom5 installed! My device information says my platform is PocketPC and that is the version of TomTom5 I installed.
I have tried various settings and soft-rebooted my phone in the meantime after each change and tried without re-setting too!
This is getting rather annoying now
sorry, I'm using com5. Have you made sure you've got a satellite connection first.
Mine is version 5.000
When I turn on my GPS receiver I get two lights flashing, one to indicate that the bluetooth is sending a signal and the other to say that the device is receiving a GPS signal.
Try this...
Hi Dave,
Did you buy this via eBay? Couple of friends have bought from the same guy and neither worked, even though it seemed that they were (flashing lights, bonded etc). Both Polstar/Fuzion.
Anyway, if it won't connect via 'other bluetooth', try selecting 'other cabled device' and then select 4800 baud and your bluetooth com port.
Don't know why, but have had to do this with 3 different PDA's so far (2 XDA, 1 ipaq). It seems to work fine, although the data rate's a bit slow.
Any bluetooth gps I have has installed as com 5 when bonding, it asks if you wish to install serial profile and allocates com 5. I have noticed however that tomtom is very weird with its gps module, it keeps saying gps not found or signal lost etc and then I have to reselect other bluetooth and com 5 and even then sometimes I have to reinitialize the receiver before it is found. I always advocate the use of a wired gps if it is only required for vehicle use, it is less problematic, easy to configure and works 99.999999% of the time without problems.
If you run BT Manager and then check settings, it generally sets up as inbound com5 outbound com 6.
I have a Navman that behaved perfectly on Com 5 on TT3, on TT5 still behaves perfectly, but now uses Com 8 instead.
No idea why, don't really care that much -- it works.
I did buy the items from eBay and I am going to get back to the supplier (Polstar I believe) to see what I can fathom out.
Many thanks for all your advice, I have tried all options but still cannot get it to work so I will post a reply with the solution that works for me and hopefully it will work for others too.
No signal
Hi
the TomTom 5 has a new implementation, from the the TT3. It can manage the bluetooth connection. When you creat the connection with your pocket pc, by serial port, you must creat one connection of paired devices, as you created to your headset, bluethoot, of course. By the way, usually tt5 uses com 6 to connect with gps receivers.
The first time you configure your connection you must stay in position to receive signal from satelites, because its important to record all information from your gps receiver.
Regards
With regards to that marcusmodestus I think tonight, I will try and remove TomTom5 and delete my connection to the receiver and try installing again, from fresh.
Should I bond my reciever before or after I install? And should I run TomTom5 only with the bond in place?
bt gps
I bought one of these
set up as other cable on com5 but set baud rate at 38400 works fine 4 me
Success!
First, thank you all for helping me with this!
I have managed to successfully set it up now and here is the process...
Install TomTom5
Bond the device (I only had the option of Serial COM 7)
In TomTom5, change the preferences to use "Other Cable" and set the baud rate to 4800.
Magically I then get 5-6 satellites, a signal and an annoying American (which I will change to a nice english lady)
Thank you all again!
after hours of trial and error with tomtom5 and buzzmobile5.0 together with a xaiox wonde-xl bluetooth gps mouse (nemerix chipset) i learned the following:
it is recommended that you disable the gps manager of buzzmobile5.0 (not doing this has caused my device hang and auto soft reset some times). after that the following procedure worked for me:
1. pair your bluetooth gps device with your xda
2. assign a free outgoing com-port to that device (what com-port is best? please read text below.)
3. go to tomtom gps settings screen choose other bluetooth gps device
4. the assigned com-port number should appear in the next tomtom screen.
usually you should be done now and the connection should work, but i always had to delete the gps device in buzzmobiles bluetooth connection manager and had to re-pair it again, re-assign the com-port and re-start tomtom in order to get it work.
for any reason i then choosed to assign com8 as com-port for my gps mouse. and from this moment on tomtom5 was able to re-establish connections after switching of and on the gps or after switching xda on and off. i don't know what the exact reason is but choosing com8 was my solution to get tomtom5 working together with my gps on a comfortable way.
hope this helps others

I had this problem with Tomtom 5. No matter what I did it wouldn't work with my receiver.
I found that when I downloaded the 5.1 patch and installed it it worked fine with the GPS receiver set to COM6. Usually takes about 30 secs for the receiver to be found though. I think the update sorted out the Tomtom bluetooth support to a later version.
hi ...
how can i disable the gps manager of buzzmobile5.0?
thx mtc
settings --> system --> GPS
On the access tab uncheck the box
btw : I just saw that GPS hardware port shows com5 now. I'm sure I set both hard and software port to none cause somebody adviced this.
Anyway last week I didn't have to re-pair my gps in order for tomtom to find it ( which before I had to do every time I closed tt5). I've been messing in the registry to create extra com5 ports, maybe that's what caused it.
Anyways I now only have to switch on the gps and fire up tomtom and it immediately shows my position. Hope it will last..........
Hi all. I've used my Qtek with TOMTOM and a bluetooth GPS antenna for many time. Some days ago, the system don't run anymore.
The problem is in the Universal Bluetooth: I can find and add bluetooth devices but, when i use it, there is not communication. So, for example, i can connect my Universal with GPS antenna in the bluetooth section, but TOMTOM tell me that there isn't a GPS antenna. Also, i can link via bluetooth my Universal with the notebook, but i cannot start an Activesynk session via bluetooth: it tell me that no pcs are connected even if in the bluetooth list there is my pc and in the service list there is "activesynk" and it is activated.
Now, it is a software or an hardware problem? Any idea? I've anjlurned my software at the AKU 3.2 last italian ROM, but it didn't help.
Thanks in andvance for the help and sorry for my english.
Idum
UP
Pls help me. In what manner i can test if it is an hardware problem or only a software problem?
Idum
I have same problem ...
but still dont know the way how to fix
First
For TT to work with your bt gps you have to create a unsecured incoming port, take COM0 or any other number.
then it should already work in TT, if it not select in TT a GPS receiver and select com0
You have to create a com port for the BT connection and enable that com port in your AS on your pc.
To sync with AS over BT you have to select Connect with BT on your Device!!!
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.

Hello,
I consider to buy an external GPS BT antenna.
I already own an Bluetooth Wireless Car Hands Free Kit.
Can I have booth devices connected thru BT at same time ?
Cheers.
Yes, as long they use diff. comm ports.
Some devices will be able to send a signal to your Tytn II asking for a pairing, others you need to set up individually.
Choose com 4 as standard for your GPS radio and recco to use com 8 for your carkit (or vice versa) as such, they are far enough from each other to let identify the TytnII the good com. port.
Thanks for you answer !
While we are on this topic - External GPS
Is there a way to assure that you do not turn the battery sucking internal GPS on while using a mapping program and an external GPS?
I'm asking for a friend and I can't try it out so please be really specific and detailed.
I have a 8525 running the stock HTC ROM. Is the control of the external GPS the same as on the 8925?
I managed to pair a Holux GPSlim236 with my 8525 without using the External GPS utility. Do I really need this utility if I'm only routing the data from one receiver to one program?
Regards,
GPSGary

Your software will be able to map a com port. if the device has an internal GPS, just let your GPS soft identify which one and not it down.
When you turn on your external receiver, your divice will identify 2 "GPS receiver found" linked with 2 Com Ports. just set the one linked with your External GPS on manual status. Do not forget to apply an "outgoing port" in your Bluetooth settings.
As for the External GPS utility, I advice not using it, or setting on "automatic" or something called like that.
I don't now or this is the right place to ask this question so I will crosspost it aswell in the Diamond section.
Is it possible to conect the Diamond with a laptop and use the GPS receiver as a external GPS mouse, and if so is this possible by USB or/and bluetooth
Thanks in advanced
