GPS on Universal WM5

despite a lot of digging none of the suggestions for getting a BT/GPS working did the job for me, well, they did for TT5 sometimes but did not work for the Garmin software.
I then after reading some more had a bright idea, why not just create a registry entry in HKLM Drivers with just a blank COM4 entry, after all, the problem seems to be that the com port is not fully established until the software starts talking, and the Garmin software does not show it till it is fully established - no doubt some of you will better understand the inside than me !!!
anyway, for the first time my garmin que software with my garmin gps10 is actually showing where i am ;-)

Can you tell us exactly the key you have added?

i created a key
hkey_local_machine/drviers/active/73
and in there created a string value
Name = COM4:
this method does not seem to work for tomtom5 but the other methods posted work for that, but for garmin que with gps10 (along with the regedit to unhide the interface option onque) i can then see an extra entry onthe com list and when i select that que detects com4 and finds the gps and works.
i suspect there is something else i should do as for some reason the entry in garmin que shows up as a blank line or with a square instead of listed as com4, but que lets me select it anyway !!

Mapsource and Que on WM5
Thanks, this sorted out my problem. Now I'm able to link my JasJar and GPS10.
Now I have problem with my Mapsource and nRoute. They do not detect the device.
Any ideas?

Hi,
i have not really tried using nroute at all to be honest, though i do use mapsource on my pc - indeed i have used it for several years as i also have a streetpilot 3 that came with my motorbike ;-)
that part i had no problem with.... apart from the garmin registration being a little complicated !!!!! if i remember right (i am not at home) you have to register the maps against the serial number of the gps (this is the serial number which is on the label and the registration card). this is done on the garmin website. that gives you an unlock code which you enter in to mapsource itself.
you can then use mapsource to select what maps to copy, the easiest way is to take the sd-card from your jasjar and put it into a card reader in the pc, and mapsource writes them straight down. then put the card back in to the jasjar.
actually, garmin are quite helpful, and they allow you to unlock each map against two gps's so i now have all my maps unlocked against both my streetpilot3 and my gps10/que.
you can see on the garmin website what is or is not unlocked. i guess the files mapsource creates have some sort of signature so that when que runs it knows if the maps are being used against the correct gps.
the other good news is that i have tomtom running as well, i simply go to the gps menu of the jasjar to enable the access-managegpsautomatically when i want to use tomtom which then works happily against the logical port, and disable it when i want to use que which works against the actual bluetooth com port.
let me know if you still have problems and i will write again when at home with my pc and mapsource

it seams accept com8 when you set the outgoing port in the bt setting with tt5

Same here! Detect nothing....
I really want to transfer the maps, and that can´t be done without detection.. please help!

downloading maps
well, i have not used nroute at all, but mapsource can download direct to a memory card (SD or whatever) using any normal pc adapter, and then when you put the card into your universal, because the universal has detected the gps10 it will open the maps no problem. before doing the download you simply have to register the maps against the gps serial number - this is done on the garmin website, that gives you the unlock code which you enter into mapsource.

The problem is that I can´t send it to my device.
Have ulocked all maps already.. pressing the send to device botton and it workes... only on my Qtek S100. Now on my Wm2005 device...
And it is only the new device I would like to use..
So, the problem is that I cant get the maps to the 2005 device.

I followed the steps from the first post in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 link and worked fine for me

I know that Garmin said that there GPS 10 is not compatible with this one.
But I manage to make some settings so i could pair the units together.
Only one problem.. when I try to install basic map and other maps my computer wont find the device.
It says that the unit is not connected...
My Qtek S100 workes directly.. but I have just upgraded to 9100 and would like to get it to work..
Any suggestions?

PPC-6700 with Garmin GPS 10 BT
This is EXACTLY where I am at as well with my PPC and the GPS 10. I don't understand how it can detect the PPC-6700 and install the Que software and the Voice files through ActiveSync, but yet when you get to the installation part of the basemaps, it doesn't detect?!?! Something doesn't make sense! If you call Garmin, they will just inform you that the R&D team has not come up with a solution as of yet, and when they do, it will be available for download in the updates section. If you look on the setup cd with the basemaps, they are .img files, but I cannot find a program to manipulate them. I was thinking of maybe finding out a program to "uncomrpess" the .img basemaps from the CD then copy them over to the PPC. Any suggestions?

Garmin iQue issue
I was spending quite a while looking for this issue already.l
Had some help from Garmin to proceed with com port allocation.
But for the issue with Mapsource to Garmin link they doesn't reply at all.
My clue is that something wrong with RAPI interface which has changed between ActiveSync 3.8+WM03 and 4.0+WM05.
If you watch how older devices work you can see that ActiveSync launches (on PPC) RapiSrv.exe program which will deal with Mapsource by the use of QueRapi.dll.
I've looked for the number of documents on Microsoft regarding new activesync and wm2005, looks like we need new version of ppcQue.
I use Imate Kjam + GPS10
If you find some fix, please drop me a text on mekel#yandex.ru.
Thanx.

Universal vs BT GPS
My HW: T-Mobile DE MDA Pro with I-mate ROM - Emtac Wayfinder BT GPS
The main thing was the fluent line from BT hardware port to my iGO Navigation software. At the beginning, in iGO, I only saw the reserved COM ports. BUT
1. Use Bluetooth manager to connect GPS reciever and set Outgoing port to COM0
2. Use the registry editor to create the GPS Settings icon in Settings (HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Hide -> value: 0
3. Use the GPS Settings setup, to mount HW port to COM0, SW port to COM4
4. Install franson GPS Gate, and set up using Input port: physical COM4, Output port (create) virtual port COM8
5. Install iGO, and select COM8, to get the coordinates for the ride
This works for me, hope to others as well!
BUT: after a soft reset, it isn't reachable. That is because active ports on the HTC Uni are dynamically changed after a soft reset. I'm working on a constant solution...

No but I've used Memory-Map with great success. Took the same fiddling as Tomtom to get the GPS COM port working.

6 days later, gps10, is working
After trawling through a load of forums and after reading this one i thought i would put my solution, probably a bit late.
Firstly bought the full gps10 package from rs, loaded nroute on the laptop unlocked the maps, loaded the universal (m5000) with que, then the tried to upload the maps. didnt recgonise the pda. so then tried to get the bt gps working and that failed as well.
got gpsproxy working but it was a bit hit and miss, so called garmin and asked them why they sell it when it dosent work, was just about to have a good old shout at them when they offerd to e-mail me a new patch.
So installed the new garminque.exe file over the top of the new one and it picked up the bt/gps on com4. easy enough. then tried again to upload the maps but no joy, borrowed a card read/writer from work took that home and mapinstall worked fine chose my maps and tested it last night.
So if you are having trouble i'm posting the file so other people should find it a bit easier, hope this helps. oh my sd card is a 1gb fujitsu sd card
The full instructions from garmin follow
Here is a fix for the GPS 10 Bluetooth connection problems with a Windows
Mobile 5 Pocket PC. I have written out more detailed instructions that
should be easy for the customer to follow and implement:
Thank you for contacting Garmin International
Rename the attached file from GarminQue.zip_ to GarminQue.zip so WinZip will
recognize the extension.
Double click on the file and it should unzip. Unzip this to the desktop,
this will unzip to the file garminque.exe
To install... drop the GarminQue.exe file in the \Garmin\ directory and
overwrite the previously installed .exe. on the unit itself.
You can do this by going into the My Computer Icon. Double click on Mobile
Device. Double click on My Pocket PC. Double click on the Garmin folder.
Here is where you copy the garminque.exe.
This will put the modified file right on the unit itself. This will then
allow the software to use the unit's available com ports instead of looking
for just com 2 and com 7.

GPSGate with Garmin Que

Hi,
Did anybody try to use GPSGate together with GarminQue?
I have a problem with GPSGate 2.5.0.210.
I installed it on HTC X7500 with WM6, the installation was perfect, I created input/output ports. On input I see "GPS data is coming in", then I created out "Virtual COM1/Garmin Emulator" and for the first time it shows "Running OK", but when I start Garmin Que and configure this port as GPS port, Que just says "GPS is Off". I tried to push button "Connect to GPS" but it doesn't help.
At the same time GPSGate shows "No clients connected" in output page.
I tried to create COM2 at the same time, tried to change COM1->COM9 but it doesn't help too.
If somebody has any ideas, please let me know.
Oleg.

Could be the QuickGPS messing around?
Try to unconfigure QuickGPS, is in the Start / Settings / System.
Once you unconfigure that, the hardware port for GPS on Athena/X7500 is COM5 at 4800, so you need to configure that in GPSGate as input (?) and then the virtual port you want to use as output... COM1 or COM2 are good choices. Maybe COM0 but some programs got troubles with that.
Other choice could be try to not to stop the QuickGPS and use COM4 as input and again COM1 or COM2 as output. Not sure if this will work. Other programs llike GPSBlue or GPSProxy allows to do that so you keep the quick finding of sats.

That´s the solution, majhong! How are you?
With search engine i found you and i tried to unconfigure quickGps (SIFenabler in A701). Now, Garmin Que, C-eMap and PTGMap run ok without problems of gps comunication. I`ve changed position of SIFenabler, from Start Up to Start Menu. Now quickgps don´t run i start of windows.
Best regards and thanks

[Q] How to configure Garmin XT com port ?

I need help!
I can install Garmin XT in HTC Diamond but it didn´t work.
When I try to configure the com port it returns to "none".

select GPS Intermediate Driver instead of a COM port.

The problem is with the GPS hardware port, not with the program port, in HW port can find only com ports.

i have it set to "Use serial GPS" and there are COM4 and COM7 (COM7 is BT)..and when it's set, it shows "COM:4 COM4:"

Garmin GT
Yes, you can install and use Garmin on your HTC Diamond. I'm using this GPS sw. You need to "crack" the sw, and get a serial associated to you device.. I will try to put a doc next weekend (in spanish.. sorry) to install and use de sw..Be patience

The answer is: turn off A-GPS, the GPS with Garmin XT works well now

:O could u be more precise ?! anyone else understood and have a solution ? make settings only in iGO , the phone itself is alredy OK !

1. find QuickGPS from Start manu, click and download a loccation file
2. use Google Map, and 'enable GPS'
3. under clear sky, and allow time for first time connection
4. if no luck, try a hard reset to factory default and try above again

Hi, go to Start -> Settings -> System -> External GPS (or similar, got a non-English Touch2) and check the settings for GPS.
Use this settings in your programs/apps, then it should work.
Hope this helps,

[Q] GPS under Win 6.5

I upgarded my touch hd to 6.5 recently and now my GPS can not find the satalites.
Using Gmaps I set windows to auto - baud to 56000 and I have tried comms 0,1,4,6,8 without any joy.
Can HD with 6.5 work with GPS?
I search the forum for an answer but no luck either
Thanks
Ray

Well, iGO is working under 6.5.
And so does Google maps...
However, settings should be 57600 baud on COM 4 (at least thet's how they're set in my iGO)...
And you should use QuickGPS to get ephemerals...

No luck I'm affraid. Did all this and it will not find the satalites.
Thanks

Hi blueisland,
Working perfectly on my Touch HD.
What I would do.
Since I don't know what rom you've put on your phone is get
HTC GPS TOOL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
and
GPS test from chartcross http://www.chartcross.co.uk/products/WM00002_details.asp
Now what to do:
Very important : sorry for the caps, GO OUTSIDE so no obstructions above the receiver
Start HTC GPS TOOL : go to 'function' -> 'mode' -> 'clear memory'
After that on the top 'open port' and 'start test' now you should see data coming in that window.
Now if you click on 'menu' (bottom right) you can click 'Satellite'. Normally you should see some bars which are the sats that show up.
You can close the appl if you see that.
Start GPS Test : not necessary but this one automatically searches for the com port and baute rate and also show the reception.
Let us know what happens.
Btw: After that you get that working GPSmoddriver is a very nice add on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571266
no more lag on iGO
