is Destinator 3.075 on Jasjar possible?

Has anyone managed to install Destinator 3.075 on Jasjar

Yes, try searching and you'll find your answers!

1. Copy across the "DestinatorApps" directory to the PPC manually using active sync instead of using the installer
2. Copy the "DestDll.dll" into the windows directory of the PPC manually using active sync
Now you have destator installed (almost) the DestDll.dll also needs to be registered!
3. to register the dll I used "regsvr_arm.exe". just copy it onto the device, and run then select the "DestDll.dll" to register it.
4. Run Destinator and active it with you licence code as you would have previously
i had problems with connecting the com ports on destinator....so i just followed these steps:
First you've got to pair your GPS.
Then go to the "COM" tab in the bluetooth manager
Add a new outgoing port with the GPS as device (use a free com port usually try every single port until it accepts it)
And then do this:
5. Copy the "DestinatorApps/Destinator/Destinator.ini" to your desktop
6. Open this in a hex editor and change where it says C.O.M.6 to the com port of your gps. Mine was Com4 so I just changed
the 6 to a 4.
7. Copy the "Destinator.ini" file back onto the PPC
steps 5-7 i dont know if this is necessary coz after i did these steps, i closed the destinator program and then ran it and the "GPS was found automatically"....but when u go to the gps settings on the destinator program its on COM 1....and COM 4 was not on the list......but i didnt bother trying to set it up as per instructions coz its already working for me......just another note, if u turn off your gps receiver while the destinator program is running and then turn on the receiver again ur not going to be able to connect to a gps satellite etc......u have to actually close the destinator program and start it again and it will again automatically connect ur gps......its a bit complicated trying to follow the instructions......but if u follow it properly it will work.......well it worked on my jasjar as well as my XDA II with WM2003SE.....good luck

yes, thanks hadn't thought of that....
of coarse I have tried searching, I have spent 3 hours doing so ... I have found lots of references especially to a post by believer... haven't as yet found the post which gives the actual full answer ...
found one which gave the ini mod for getting around the os check
-------
if anyone else is looking for answers that part is:
modify the [Platforms] section of C:\DestinatorApps\Installer\Console\Default.ini
add the line
P2577V351=ARM
-------
what I haven't found is the issue of the dll being registered.
Now that you have wasted everybodies time and had me write all of this, are you likely to be helpful and provide a link, (as you seem to know where it is) or are you more a smartass without a clue than a geovass.

Destinator on JasJar and regsvr_arm.exe
Can anybody please point me in the right direction as to find regsvr_arm.exe. I have followed all the directions so far and when I try run destinator I get a Destinator object creation error. The only thing I havn't done is the register bit, please.

here you go

Destinator turns off after some minutes
First of all, thank you everybody who gave instructions for the installation, of the Destinator specially for irv777. I followed the irv777 instructions and I could install the Destinator and configure the GPS perfectly. But I could notice that after using some minutes the Destinator, the screen of my Pocket PC turned off and when I turned it on again (using the light button), the GPS communication was lost because the GPS COM Port was changed. Does anybody have the same problem? Does anyone have any idea of what is happening in my case? I could realize that when I open the registry on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Apps/DestinatorApps of my Pocket PC it is different from the registry of the Pocket PC of my friend who installed the Destinator using the custom metodology (he doesn't have WM5). Is it the cause of that problem? If it is the cause how can I fix it? I don't know how to edit registry.

I havn't found any problems with it on mine. a possible work around for you might be to change the power and light settings so they don't turn off when you are using destinator.....
;-)
good luck

obviously i am doing something wrong here....
copy the destinator apps were in the ppc? i dont have enough memory eventhough my exec is recently formated (ppc 32mb free/destinator apps 36mb).
anybody?
edit: please mates.... i am leaving for a road trip in ten days and i could realy use a gps

Is the procedure similar if you have an embedded GPS?
I have a Mio P350 & want to put Destinator 3 on it, do you install the console on the PC first, if so what files & from where do you install on the PDA, & what do you install on the SD card?
Appreciate any help I can get, as the MioMap v3.2 is driving me crazy!

? So your saying version 5 will work if I have an original tomtom bluetooth receiver?
ok maybe i'm not fully understanding this? If version 5.00 works on WM5 (my xda mini s) which it does why all the fuss about you must upgrade to 5.21 if you have WM5?
the only eason i ask is because my 5.21 version of tomtom stoped working after a while (dont know why),but when i reinstalled i forgot to update, so at the moment mine says version 5.00 and it's working fine with no problems
cheers

For my knowledge I think because it work already once with tomtom 5.21 some necessary files has been already loaded into the storage card & the device therefore when you reinstall TT v 5.00 it work just fine because you already have the com port existing therefore everything was ok.
To my knowledge when I install the TT 5.00 I cant find the com port for the gps then after I install the update version it appear depend on were you set it.
Hope this help clarify :roll:

i get ya mate. Just waiting to get my new BT receiver so i'll give it a good check to see if it will fully work.
cheers

In need of urgent help!
Right i've finally got a BT receiver so i can now use my xda to replace my old ipaq. Thing is I cant get my bt receiver to work with tomtom. Firstly i cant get the gps control panel to appear in settings/connections. I've done the reg edit then soft reset but stil nothing? I've read all the threads i could find but just cant get it to work. Stupid question but do i need to do the reg edit? Could someone please tell me how they installed and got it to work? please!
I have included pic of what my reg edit looks like.
please help
cheers

that looks correct, then when you go into "connections you should have a new icon "GPS"
one thing to check, if you have another regeditor check the same place in the registry
you may find what you are looking at at the moment has not been saved.
may sound silly but you may be viewing something like cache memory.
which editor are you using? (sorry if you have already said)

i'm using PHM regedit. And that pic was after i saved and exited and soft reset. As you can see the reg edit is still there after reset just no gps icon???
If i'm running tomtom 5.21 would i still need to do the edit?
cheers

tomtom5.21 without reg Editor
hi, I give you my steps that I did and it work for me even in the xda exec .
1 first connect your gps with your pda trough Bluetooth accept serial (thick the box)
Then create an outgoing serial port any (free one in my case com6)
2 after you copied the files of tomtom v5.00 into your storage card, in your ppc do file explore and look for a folder Inside your storage card called 2577 open it, (installing cab) ,first click gps then pimaddin then ttn then wzd install them all to your device.
3 now go to the update file 5.21 click on setup follow the screen the you will get a message saying the previous version……… just click ok .after the installation finish
then voila all should be fine just follow the screen you will be asked to enter your activation code again * (if you dont have email me )then setup tt5 as you like for the gps setting you will find the com6 added,simple for tt gps reciver but If you have a third party gps receiver just use the port that you created earlier (outgoing port com6 in my case) .
it should work no need to edit any registry becouse I havent and is working 100% in my mda vario and xda exec.
hope this help :lol:

cheers mate. managed to get it working. Just have probs with my bt receiver now. very poor signal.
cheers

Gps Com Port Problem Please help~

Hi Guys
This is my very first post here, i had found your information and suggestion very useful up until now.
I just bought the GPS software navman today and just finished installing it, all went well, however when i try connecting it to the correct port i couldnt.
The problem is the Dopod 838 i have bluetooth setting only showing com6 and com7, no other com port there. My navman software have everything other com port but NO com6 and com7!!
I have trying searchng the forum but cant find any step by step guide to how to change the port on my 838.
Pleaes help urgently
Thank you in advance

Have you paired the gps and wizard? And assigned an outgoing com port (COM6) to the GPS? Remember to NOT check the secure connection checkbox. Then turn the wizard off and on again (or wait at least 15 seconds and soft reset). Now your sofware should see the com port. If needed, create an incoport on COM7.

i have the same problem with destinator pn.
i try to pair with holux gpslim236 and it says the com port could not be created please check your settings and try again

HI Tomasz
Thank you so much for responding.
Yes i have paired the 838 with my reciever Holux Slim 236. All pairing is working the problem is with my navman software, i have to set the com port to match my 838 which only have com6 and com7. My navman software does not have com6 or com7. It only have com1,2,3,4,9.
therefore i cannot match the com port.
Please help guys.
THank you

I have actually read some more in this forum and i have no activated the GPS setting in the control panel. i have set the program to com4 to corresponse to the navman software.
After doing all that i still cannot get it to work still wont connect!
please help guysss
Thank you

Just found out SmartSt V2 does not work with window mobile 2005
which gps software is compatible with my dopod 838? I'm located in Australia..
Please help

hi, i think u have to modify the *.ini* file (use a hex editor software) and in there u can change the com port there and that should work, also you need to follow the steps above as someone mentioned before regarding pairing it etc.....

Try "GPS Dash" to set your com ports.

Help on Info GPS + Others

Hi, i'm newbie and thanks in advance for your help.
I've p3600 with Rom "cooked" but i don't know the version (because this PDA was given to me by my brother)
My device information is:
Rom: Stratos 1 5.1
Date Rom 31/1/2008
Version Radio: 1.46.30.11
Proto..: 32.79.7020.19H
Windows 6 professional (CE 5.2.1933 Build 18533.7.10.1)
In the PDS there was installed TOMTOM6 and it runs well.
Now i've removed TT6 and installed TT7 7_916, but the GPS is not found on TT. Now i've removed TT7.
Now i would view Info GPS from setting but when i tap icon "INFO GPS" nothing happens (ne message no window).
What can i do ?
How can i obtain the name/type ROM installed ?
Thanks again.
Frankie.

Well the GPS in the SPV M700 uses COM9 so in the connection settings you will see GPS Info with a world icon you need to auto select the settings and selecting COM9 then you will be able to install an application that uses GPS and it should hopefully automatically detect GPS settings and start receiving information from satellites.

I had the same problem with tom tom u have to change the device type not just the com9, when you open device to find the gps do not use the inbuilt one try the external one (first to the left) then it should find satellites
