I have garmin xt working on my artemis but it needs a genuine garmin gps10 bluetooth aerial to work.
is there any way of getting garmin to connect with the built in gps......
ps how do you copy garmin sd card maps..after copying all the files from one sd card to another the unit miraculously recognises it as a copy ?????
me too, i'm also interested if garmin xt will work with the internal gps. i couldn't get it working on my artemis....would be great if someone knows a howto...
The problem with Garmin programs is that they look for Garmin formatted data stream from the GPS. The Artemis GPS provides a standard NMEA data stream. The only way to make Garmin work is to install a GPS port translation program, like GPSGate. It allows to direct the GPS output to a port the Garmin software will see and translate it to Garmin format. There is a freeware program that does the same, but at the moment I don't remember the name
I used garmin 2.90 with GPSgate and internal GPS, but I wasn't able to do it with XT, I wish there is a way, but I'm not sure GPSgate can do it. Because as far as I know, GPSgate creates a virtual port for garmin with the secret no. that your gps sends to your device, but that's not possible with XT because it does not give you the option to change ports, it automatically searches your bluetooth port.
Hi,
Does anyone recommend and GPS navigation products for the prophet? I have been looking around, and have had conflicting views on the TomTom mobile platform.
Any recommendations?
Cheers
I'm using iGo 2006 Plus with full Europe maps on only 1 GB SD card!
This program is very fast and optical very nice, because it's based on a game engine by PDAMill!

i'm using mapking, gpsgate with holux bluetooth device= Never let me down
iGo is the best
currently using holux bt gps receiver & garmin que s/w. not much maps/programs for us here in NZ. no problems using them
Used TT6 and a SiRF Star III bluetooth antenna for a while with no problems.
I use...
Tom Tom 6 with a generic bluetooth gps receiver, with Europe and North America maps on a 4 Gb SD card. Works beautifully, starts quickly and reliably.
I usually use it in the car (with a car windshield suction mount)
I have been using Google maps (free) with a gprs/edge connection but there is no voice guidance. I have a holux slim 240 bluetooth gps receiver which works good but sometimes it takes some time to find the satellites initially.
Destinator with Hollux
A Hollux receiver and Destinator 6.x works great for me.

GPS with Prophet
Most software are not bad..Best of all is the GarminXT with BT Holux 236.
I use TT6 and an Adadpt SirfIII BT reciever.
tried numerous other nav systems, but this one works the best around all europe, IMO.
I'm a courier IRL, so i have sh*tloads of experience with satnav systems

I have an htc Hermes and a Garmin Nuvi 660, and use the Garmin as a handsfree as well as a GPS unit in the car, as it has Bluetooth.
The Garmin is able to show and readout SMS's with compatable phones. Unfortunately the Hermes does not work, and is listed as not being compatable.
I have a Motorolla RAZR v3 as a backup phone and it works perfectly.
Firstly, I can't understand why some phones can do this and others can't ??
Secondly, is there some super intelligent being out there who can (or has) figure out a way to make this work ??

I have a Pharos GPS Phone 600 and I have installed Garmin Mobile XT, but the program can't seem to get any GPS data from the receiver. Does anybody have any idea how to make them communicate?
sorry dewd but this is not the phorum for your phone. since its made by a company called pharos instead of the model p3470 Pharos made by HTC....
seems to boil down to getting the gps device to the right port so garmin can get the data.
I have an HTC HD2 with the last italian ROM 1.66.408.1 and TomTom navigator 7.915.9196. Now I can use TomTom only with the GSM phone activated; in any other situation, even with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi activated, TomTom tells that my HTC is in flight mode and so it doesn't find satellites. The problem is that I wish to use TomTom while driving without being disturbed by incoming calls. I have tried TomTom 7.916, but the problem remains.
Before having this HD2, I had an HTC Touch HD, and the same version of TomTom, but it had not this problem: it was enough to activate Bluetooth only, and TomTom worked.
