Hi, I'm using a Royaltek RBT-2300 gps reciever and iGO 2006+, but my Elfin losing the BT connection frequently (it is connected about 2 sec long and not connected about 20 sec). I've tried the reciever with a NOKIA N95 it worked fine, also tried with an ipaq pda (with iGO 8) - losing connection too. I set everything in the External GPS thing, but same story... Any ideas?

I have an Qtek S100 and an Leadtek 9537 gps reciever, worked good with bt and all first times, but now i cant get any satelites, TOMTOM says im not connected to any satelites and tomtom gps shows the same only stands try to connect, but nothings happening what to do please help, i have hard resetted and installed everything again and even take away the battery with same result BT connection work fine, but not connected btw the reciever and satelites. Is it broken????
Before anyone says anything, yes I have tried looking.....
I have a problem with TT5.21 where I can connect to the BT GPS several times but then all of a sudden TT won't connect again. The only way I can do it is to delete the pairing with the GPS reciever and re-pair it setting up the COM ports again. It will then work fine 3 or 4 more times and I have to do it again.
I know the GPS works fine as it works perfect on my Alpine (believe it or not).
Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, I have this problem too, no set times or obvious reasons as to why tomtom loses gps, still appears in bluetooth device list, but tomtom cannot see it, only way to get tomtom to recognise the gps is to delete pairing and re-pair gps.
Eventually figured it out. When setting up the initial pairing (or was it com port), I cleared the use secure connection radio box and it seems to be fine now.
Thanks for your response though and I hope this works for you too.
Is it possible to use both TomTom (with a bluetooth GPS node) and a bluetooth headset at the same time?
I've managed to do it although that was on an old O2 ROM, not the new one.
Hi
Ok - installed TomTom6
First of all I removed TomTom 5, rebooted and then installed TomTom 6 as per this site:
http://ppcwarez.org/index.php
Ok - so all went well, installed inc UK map fine.
Isue is the Blutooth. I have a BT GPS. So I removed it, repaired it, entered access key of 0000, gave Outgoing com port as 6. Started TomTom , configured GPS to use another Bluetooth GPS receiver, selected com6 and they found each other. The issue is when I turn off the BT GPS unit and the restart it, TomTom wont find it the GPS unit. I have to remove it from the Bluetooth setting on the OS and repair - with the ley being the code of 0000
If I try and pair the TomTom with the TomTom Blueotth GPS reciever - it has the key symbol with 0000 in - but it wont pair. Now, this seems to have been carried over from the previous installation. Can I remove they key for this device - as this may work?
Any ideas?

i have the same bt gps you need to delete the bt partenship and call it gps only instead of bt gps that should work
Hi!
I have the same problem. Tried to rename to gps, but no luck.
Every time I turn off the Bluetooth GPS, I have to delete the partnership, redo the partnership, assign an outgoing COM port, and then finally tomtom6 sees the bluetooth gps again .....
Any clues?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have recently got an O2 XDA Mini S, and I have TomTom 6 installed I have a generic non-TomTom Bluetooth GPS receiver (BT 77) which I got from eBay this works fine with my PDA.
The only problem I have had with it from day one is that I have pair my Bluetooth GPS each time that I use it. If I don't TomTom doesn't seem to detect it. E.g. go to Setting -> Connections -> Bluetooth then delete BT GPS, then I have to search for Bluetooth devices add it again and setup the ports each time I want to use TomTom. Then TomTom will pick it up.
Is this normal? Having to delete my GPS device and then add it again to be able to use it? I normally wait until my GPS has a lock on the satellites before opening TomTom.
Any suggestions on how I get my GPS setup permanently?
I have TT6 and TT's own receiver with Qtek 9100...works fine, pair it once and that's it.
Hi
Are you entering the four digit security code when asked ?. Mine did this till I got the code from the web site for my receiver.
Hope this helps

I think you will find that the code you will need is 2003, but you maybe have to check the web site too!

The code in the guide that came with my GPS was 0000 and this works fine when I have to pair my GPS up, which you normally only have to do once.
I think I solved the problem though. Normally I have Bluetooth off and then tapping on TomTom would load up and then TomTom would automatically fire up Bluetooth for me. While it looked like TomTom was running Bluetooth fine it wouldn't actually detect my GPS.
Turning on Bluetooth before running TomTom seems to do the trick as it will detect it within about 7 seconds. Must just be a bug on Windows Mobile 5 or TomTom 6.

Well ok that is wierd cus it, i just start up tomtom and then select the gps and it works find!!! but i guess different with different gps units!!! but good to see that it is working for you now!
I have the same GPS unit as you and I don't have the issue you describe. If I manually enable Bluetooth before starting TomTom 6 it works, if I don't manually enable BT and then start TomTom 6, BT is started by TT6 and it still works. It probably takes a few seconds longer but it still connects quite quickly.
I have TT6 configured for 'Other BT GPS' on Com6. Com 6 appears as 'BT GPS' and is unsecured.

In the Bluetooth settings area for your GPS, make sure the "Secure Connection" box is NOT ticked. This should sort you out.
I have just purchased a Qstarz BT-Q818 GPS Receiver and I am attempting to use this with my Tmobile Vario II.
I do not appear to be establishing a BT connection.
I turn on the GPS receiver and then turn on BT on the Vario II and proceeed thru the pairing process. The Device iBT-GPS is found and I appear to pair to as the passkey of 0000 is recognised. I select "Serial Port" from the list of Services and then have selected COM8 for a New Outgoing Port.
At this point the Bluetooth icon on the receiver is flashing every 5 seconds implying it is in power saving mode. (is this no BT connection?)
I start GoogleMaps and select Track Location (GPS). A message appears "GPS Starting" and then I receive an error page stating the GPS Device cannot be found'.
I have re-paired the Receiver many times, the unit is fully charged. I have no other BT devices paired.
I've done a search and see that many people are successfully using a QSTARZ receiver with TomTom. is the issue with GoogleMaps or more basic with Bluetooth pairing itself.
Any help will be much appreciated.
It's Google Maps
I have just got the Qstarz BT-818 and am very happily usining it with TTN 5.21 on my Vario II. Very Very happy with it in fact - I get 8-11 Sats whilst the receiver is in my glovebox!!!.
I've never managed to get GoogleMaps to recognise my either Qstarz or my previous BT GPS.
One thing worth mentioning is that COM8 is the one the Wireless modem uses. So if you want to use the Wireless Modem pick any other COM (I use COM4).
Vodafone 1605 and iBT-GPS
Hi Mike,
Did you have any luck with the Bluetooth pairing ?
I just received my iBT-GPS receiver this morning and cannot get it to work at all. The Bluetooth side seems to be in sleep mode (1 flash per 5 secs). If I turn the iBT-GPS receiver off and then on again, it goes into permanent blue LED mode (no BLuetooth link established) and the GPS (orange LED) locks and starts to flash. If I turn on the Vodafone 1605 the blue LED starts to flash at the sleep mode rate (1 per 5 secs) and the GPS (orange LED) lock goes out and stays out. I never seem to get the Bluetooth active mode where the blue LED flashes at 1 per 2 secs. Yet the Vodafone 1605 says the iBT-GPS device is in the paired list ? Set at COM 0 both in BTS and in GPS Program Port on Vodafone 1605. Also set manually to 112500 bauds. The manual says that during pairing I should be offered an 'SPP Slave' option from the PDA device. With the Vodafone 1605 I am only being offered a COM Port selection. Is that the issue here ?
Anyone out there using the two devices working happily together ? The user manual refers to a piece of iBT-GPS GPS receiver test software - but says nothing about what it is called or where to get it. I somehow suspect the iBT-GPS receiver is working OK but there is some handshaking issue between it and the Vodafone 1605 - or Windows Mobile 6 Professional ??
Thanks,
Richard
It's now OK
No reply - so I'll reply to myself and maybe give some other user some help in the process.
It's now working. Seems that if I used 'auto configuration' of Com ports from within the GPS application software (GPS Tuner) and also used the 'Stop/Start GPS' from within the software, then it 'kicked' the receiver into operation.
All is now OK and the combination of Vodafone 1605 (running Windows Mobile 6 Professional) and iBT-GPS receiver works fine.
Hopes this helps someone out there.
Regards
Richard (zorpie)
