Hello, i've installed Tomtom 5.21 and the maps and everything is ok. but i can't make the link between my gps reciver (Royaltek Star III) and the atom XDA. I've installed the partnership in the settings but it doesn't connect with the antenna. I've seen in my other pda (ipaq hx4700 and ipaq hx2790) that there is a bluetooth manager in the connection setting but there is non in the atom xda. Do you know what's the solution ?
Thanks
create OUTGOING COM port for GPS device
The same problem again
I've tried but i can't choose the port i want and if i choose another one, i can't find it in the gps settings in tomtom.
tomtom use 8 COM port. so.
1. Settings=>bluetooth=>mode
2. check all boxes
3. Settings=>bluetooth=>devices=>new partnership
4. pare GPS
5. Settings=>bluetooth=>COM ports
6. choose device=>NEW OUTGOING port
7. assign your GPS device to 8 COM port
thats all.
Can't chosse com 8 in Tomtom
Ive tried in Tom tom to choose com 8 but the only ones i can choose are com 2, com 3, com 4 and com 9. And if i want to chose one of theses for pairing, it's refused. I don't know what to do
dont forget, you need to set a new incoming port too, just play about with differnet comm ports until one works, keep the gps in search mode until the atom sees it, assign a comm port to it and see if the gps screen picks up a signal, takes a bit of time, but generally always works
Not working
I'm using a gps antenna in bluetooth but it isn't working, there is no link between the antenna and the atom. On other pda you have the bluetooth manager and you can make the link in manual mode. I don't know why i can have the com8 in tomtom options. The antenna is never blue, there is no link between

no you don't. you can only receive information from GPS, not to send it.

check PM
I did it
I did it but it's not working, no changes
did you assign for GPS 8 COM port?
by the way, do you have tomtom 5.21 for WM5 devices?
COM 8
In the bluetooth menu, first, i've the gps associated on serial port. The outgoing port on com 5 and the incoming port on com 8. But in tomtom i've com 3,4,5 and 9 avalaible but on the atom i can't chosse theses ones. That's the problem and i've no link made between. And there is no way to make it in manual mode
look, I sad clearly:
create OUTGOING!!!! COM PORT.
then assoshiate it with 8 com port.
you say:
incoming port on com 8

P.S. I have TomTom Navigator with bluetooth GPS on my Atom. It working perfectly.
Nothing's working
Impossible, nothing's working. There's no connection between the antenna and the tomtom.
In Tomtom the avalaible ports are : com 2, com 3, com 4 and com 9
On the atom, bluetooth is in discoverable mode and i've created a partnership with the antenna. I've created an outgoing port on com 8 and for the incoming port in com0 because i can't choose com 2, com, com 4 and com 9.
I really don't know what else i could try

I to am trying to connect my Holux GPSlim 236 receiver to my phone via bluetooth and am experiencing the same problem
I have no solution for lak of COM ports (in my Magician i have had 4 free COM ports AFAIR) - I cant even swith GPS applet on (it should be somewhere in settings) to use few apps with one GPS simultaneusely. Wrrrr.
All i know is that every GPS software allows U to choose which port do U want to use it with. Just use one of the ports available and set GPS application to use it.
If U cant choose COM port in your navigation software (i doubt that so limited application exists) try to use Franson GPS Gate software as a workaround.
I am trying to configure igo with my TyTN. The most annoying thing happens. When I setup the bluetooth GPS device, I can only choose COM ports that igo can't see. For example, in the igo menu I have available COM1, COM3, COM6 and COM7. When trying to add an outgoing port to anyone of these ports in the bluetooth settings I get an error stating that the COM port cannot be created. However, if I choose COM2, COM4 or COM5 - it works - but igo can't see them. It's very frustrating.
What the hell is going on here? Did anyone encountered this problem?
Hi Team
I need some help from others that have tt6 running on an XDA211i

help needed

tomtom 6 works fine on the xda2i, i know i was running it,till someone stole the device. Just turn off beam (click start > settings>connections>beam) and then pair the gps,once paired add a outgoing com port on the device(click com ports at the bottom).
Then run tomtom setup and choose your device in the config,if it isnt listed choose other bluetooth,then choose the com port you selected as the outgoing port and it will work
Add an outgoing com port
Hi Scousemartin
Great to hear from you , I have been struggleing with tt6 for waht seems like ages now .
I can follow uyou all the way to add an outgoing Com port ? clock on com port at the bottom ?
Ive paired and then cant find where to add am outgoing com port on the device ( Click com ports at the bottom ??? dont have a " com ports at the bottom ?? )
I can look at the device and it adds the bt gps as outgoing port 6 , when i put this in to tt6 and turn both on the gps flashes furiously but as far as TT6 is conceerned it keeps the " no gps device " sign and no spinning disk either.
No other progs seem to ba able to run a gps either on my machine , maybe this is significant ?
Astro1
sorry for not getting back earlier astro pm me a msn or yahoo address and i will talk you through it, what version of tomtom 6 are you running?
Hi Astro,
Have you fixed your problem yet? I am also running TT6 on an XDA IIi with no problems. Might be able to help...
Hi,
I have a Bluetooth OBD key which I want to connect to the Xperia but it seems that it doesn´t allow me to create Com ports in bluetooth which is needed.
The text under COM ports states:
"After pairing with a device, to set up a COM port tap New Outgoing Port." but the Net Outgoing Port text is not available so no new port can be created.
Is this a fault in the firmware ? Can I work around it somehow ?
I have used this with my previous Touch and it worked well with that one.
All help appreciated.
When you paired your OBD Key device,, did it show Serial service was available for this device?? If not you need to go back to the OBD Key, on your x1 under bluetooth devices. Select it and rediscover (refresh) the "services" it provides!!
Good Luck,
Stuart
