I am having difficulties connecting the Jasjar with my GPS TELETYPE on BT.
The com ports are really confusing me. I am using Destinator 3, and after I have paired the GPS device, and have selected a serial port connection, Destinator can’t find a GPS receiver.
Have anyone successfully connect a BT GPS with Jasjar?

Hi, geovass.
Did you see the prompt that the device supports Serial Port Profile? If not did you try to delete the paired GPS and try to re-pair again?

I have done the pairing twice already. No, i dont get a prompt that the device supports Serial Port Profile.
I've got it working.....
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
Then install you're navigation software !!!
It works fine in combination with the Jasjar, Emtac GPS and TomTom Navigator 5.1

On the outgoing port, which com should i add?
Choose one butt be sure you choose a free one and later choose the same on in your navigation software :lol:

I have done what you've describe, without installing the GPS SW (destinator) second. Do you think this is the case.
I can never match the com ports i use on the outgoing port and on the Navigaton software. The ports cant be the same...
It seems that i cant select any com ports on the outgoing port except from port0 and port8.
If i select one of those 2, i dont see them in Destinator's GPS settings tab.
Just used a hex editor to change the port manualy in Destinator.ini and it worked like charm !
I have the same issue. I can only connect com 0, 4 or 8 to my Emtac but TomTom5 only shows 6 and 7...
Anyboby who can help?

Me too have had the universal for a week now tried reg hacks utils etc cant get it to use com 0 4 8 evean if enable wm2005 GPS to remap ports ...
same port with bluetooth com ports for syncing
I have encountered the same problem as u, but while trying to get bluetooth connection to sync with PC... so far no luck...
I know the trick is to select COM5 for the Outgoing Port in your GPS, and then, somehow, make TT5 show the COM5. In order to do that, some hacking must be done at the registry which I have no idea how to do that.
BT GPS with another GPS software

Hi,
I just installed tomtom version 5 on my MDA Vario but I can't seem to get the tomtom to recognise my 32 channel bluetooth receiver.
Tom toms configure screen only allows me Comm ports 0,9 or 3 whilst the MDA only allows me to set up the outgoing Comm ports as 6 or 7 !
As a result I cant get tomtom to receive a signal from my receiver !
Can anyone help ?
Thank You
Steve
Try setting up new bluetooth connection to serial port, untick the make private box, then on tomtom gps settings use com port 6 although on a XDA though, still worth a try eh?
Believe that this bug is resolved in TomTom version 5.21 (download from TomTom website)

Cheers but there is no 'make private option' on the MDA although assume unticking 'secure connection; is the same thing ?
Either way I am still without the ability/option of selecting Com port 6 on tomtoms configure screen....
Try.
Pair the device, then put a tick in serial port and save.
choose the COM Ports tab, then tap new incomming port (COM6)
Then startup tomtom and it should find it when you select COM6 in other bluetooth GPS.

Can you confirm which version of tomtom your using and what it reports available connections in tom tom.

Using Version 5.10
Config within Tomtom offers -
COM9:
Infrared Port
COM3:
COM0:
COM2:
Serial Port
This is the same with either "Other Bluetooth GPS" or Other Cable NMEA GPS...
Have also changed Cfg file in Navigator folder to that offered elsewhere with no effect...
There is a bug with the version your using, you need to update it to version 5.21
heres a link to the patch http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?FID=3361&Language=1
Can the Trinity be used as a BT or a USB GPS?
i asked the same question a bit back
get some software called gps2blue, its free. set up your trin to share a com port over bluetooth. Think i set mine to com 5.
then get your other phone or whatever connected up over bluetooth to that com port and assign it a local com. eg com 8 or something i set my universal to. then turn on gps2blue to share the gps from com 9 to com 5 or whatever you set.

How is it? Is it any good?
It works great.
Here's a little how-to I wrote a few days ago for setting it up with an Axim X50v. It should work for other devices too.

Hi Team
I need some help from others that have tt6 running on an XDA211i
Any body out there ??
I think I am having the usual problems with com port set up ?
Havnt tried GPS Dash yet but that thats my next stop .
help needed
Astro1
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...

it will only give it if you have set the comport as "outgoing port" in setting-bluetooth in commanager... or start-setting-conection
good luck
