I have an HTC Feeler with the WM6.1 ROM from Aleut(thanks )
I also have a Garmin GPS(GPS 20SM) with Garmin Mobile XT. My problem is that the program crashes or freezes randomly, I am fairly positive this is due to running out of RAM. I have tried a handful of other applications but all of them have memory issues or require a data connection.
So I was wondering if anyone else has had any success with GPS software and a similar setup. Any help would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!
GPS Software: try PocketGPS-Map by Andrej Krutak
here is the link:
http://pocketgpsmap.wiki.sourceforge.net/
I've got a Qtek 8010 and a Holux GPS, after trying many different programs I found this one and I'm very happy with it.
It's FREE and the author is really a helpful guy!
Try it out!

Hi all,
i have a problem with OziexplorerCE and Qtek2020 for connect py BT48 bluetooth gps. With TomTom it's ok, but all other (ozi, gpsce, ....) i can't find the gps.
Can you help me.
Thanks
Eric
This is a know issue with Oziexplorerce (see their website).
Pocket Blutetooth Tools is supposed to fix this.
Thing is that everything else now works with bluetooth with my 1.72 rom and I dont really want the Pocket Bluetooth Tools on my device anymore . . . .
Maybe there are other solutions???
I have the same problem
TomTom it's ok, but Ozi can't find the gps.
Is OK with others GPS software like GPSDash and Vito Navigator.
I'm afraid to install Pocket Bluetooth Tools because most users have found this very satisfactory and some have suffered problems such as the re-introduction of bonding problems, decreased device stability, and the necessity to hard reset to remove it.
Thanks
Hi I have an O2 XDA2i. while navigating with tomtom, if a call comes in and I answer it I cannot hear anyone, not sure if they can hear me either. I am using a Bluetooth GPS. Does anybody have a fix for this? or am I alone in this problem ? Also, even if I close tomtom down I cannot get hear anything while making a call...only option is to reset the phone.
...grrrrr.......
on a side note..... Does anyone have an XDA2i that has a blutooth car kit that works without echos?
Cheers,
Gary.
Installing the Tom Tom GPS 3.07 update reslved a lot of the problems I have using Tom Tom BT and a BT headset.
Install it after everything else and remove SD card before install.
still locks up every now and again but its about as good as I can get it to work.
Tom Tom don;t seem to give a damn about this problem.
There's nothing like a satisfied customer and I'm nothing like a satisfied customer
@princegary
please check this link:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/right...n/uk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1719
as tomtom declares:
...Therefore this update can also be used if you have:
an HP63xx Pocket PC (+ Bluetooth GPS)
MDA2/XDA2/QTEK2020
so it is not really for xda2i, but you'll see... (I don't see a reason for not working with it)

I do not know, that you only mistyped or really used TomTom GPS 3.07 INSTEAD OF TomTom Navigator 3.07, but if so - give it another try...
Maybe it helps to be satisfied! 8)
I tried the full 3.07 update and same problem still existsed.
I've now installed the 5.0 upgrade and this does seem to have resolved the problem.
All is not perfect as Tom Tom has stopped running twice for no apparent reason but all I need do is restart the application. I think it might be more to do with it loosing the GPS BT signal rather than a problem with the software compatibility. Only two days in so I'll let you all know how I get on through the week.
the only problem I had with tt3.07 on my xdaII, that sometimes it loaded so slowly, I started it more than once - after a soft reset, the problem's gone
but never stopped during/because of a call (neither destinator 3.075 did so far)
so, maybe just your device...
I upgraded to wm2005g and tt5 and having no problem at all (so far :wink: )
As I mentioned TTN5 seems much better, much more stable.
Would love to upgrade to WM2005 but as I understand it it doesn't work on the XDA2i only the XDA2 and the XDA2s.
HI there,
Does TOMTOM 5 work fine on XDA IIi? I have just read another forum here, that TOMTOM 5 is not compatible with the XDA IIi
I am about to upgrade and get the XDA IIi, i would appreciate if you could let me know.
thanks
nya
I upgraded across the weekend and so far Tom Tom Nav 5 has worked pretty well on the XDA2i.
As mentioned it has given up on me twice but I don't think this is due to incompatibility
thanks for the quick reply, just one more question please what GPS receiver are you using?
thanks in advance
Regards
nya
It's unbadged, bought it off of e-bay, please see link below

I installed TomTom 5 and the problem is solved! Call came in and I thought Damn... but I picked up the call and it was fine TomTom even resumed after the call which I was amazed at.
My only problem now is that I got a new 1gb card and tomtom hates it, or atleast my XDA2i does. Would it be better for me to just buy a 512mb for my sat nav apps? or is there a recommended brand of 1/2gb card that works happily on the XDA2i and TOMTOM 5?
Hi all,
Everytime I use Tomtom V6 on my Orange M600 I have to delelte and re-pair my BTGPS unit. If I don't then the Tomtom software cannot seem to see it. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, has anyone found a solution?
Well, i also have this Problem. I also use TomTom 6 with a BT GPS unit, and after every softreset or longer disconnect i have to re-pair the device and enter the code. If i don't TomTom will not see the device any more. I haven't seen any thread with a solution yet.
On my XDA Mini with WM2003SE i never had this problem, so i guess it is a WM5 thing.
Is anybody here who can help me. I have the german Rom 2.15.4.29 GER. Radio Rom is 02.19.21.
Maybe there is a way to fix it in the registry... nothing else is installed yet.
Thanks in advance ... Marc
Ok, can be closed.
The solution is:
uncheck the security mark when installing the com port
Cool, thanks matey. Works a treat
Anyone has tried using a bluetooth GPS thingie with the Herald and any apps like Destinator or TomTom?
If yes what was your opinion?
My main questions are on:
What app you used and with which GPS hardware?
Battery consumption
CPU/Mem usage and how well the app run
^_^ tnx a million.
Im interested in this as well. Does anyone use any GPS software for their Wing?
I use TomTom 6 and Route66 with a Holux GPSlim236...
The battery consumption depends on the time I use it... Long usage time means more battery drain.
The CPU/Mem usage I'm not sure, but the apps run ok without visible delay between the real position and the position indicated by the program.
EDIT: Forgot to tell onde thing... In TomTom6, the more POI's you select the bigger is the delay between the real position and the one indicated by the program.
I'm using iGO My Way 2006 with this GPS mouse and I'm very satisfied with it.
Have used the software so far in Germany in Netherlands and it didnt fail me at all.
Speed is great on my XDA terra (and before on my XDA neo) which is important,
because some navigation software are running slow on those 200MHz devices.
It's important because on shorter roads and lots of corners the display scrolls
way to slow while you are actually already in the corner.
The voice commands are usually exact and in time just not the display.
Right now I'm testing Navigon MobileNavigator. The map looks nicer, but it is slower than iGO. Can't tell much about TomTom, Route66 and Destinator.
Haven't got my hands on them yet.
I'm using a Holux M1000 GPS Bluetooth Receiver with Destinator 6 and Destinator 7.
Destinator 7 freezes sometimes, but I think it's related to the "Stand by" configuration. With Destinator 6 it works fine.

Rodolpho
Well, I'm not yet on WM6, but TOMTOM6 works great with my herald, with a lot of POI, without any delays, and i use a MTK chipset's bluetooth GPS receiver.
I am told that WM6 is faster than WM5 for softwares such as tomtom, so...
Wing/WM6/TomTom6 here. After the pagepool hack (6MB), and after removing most of the stuff from the startup folder (my5aves in particular), TomTom works just fine, not a problem.
Battery life is satisfactory, much better than Axim x30 for sure. You might have to shut down huuuuuge programs like PocketIE manually, before starting TomTom.
Ask some specific questions, please. I'm too lazy to write a complete review this time
I have a WM6 Wing with a Holux 1000 BT GPS. I can't seem to get Tomtom 6 to work on it. The program just can't find the receiver. iGuidance 4 works fine even though it is a bit sluggish. Can anyone help me? I think I've tried two different types of BT GPS receivers and still no luck.
I am running TT6 on WM6 Herald.
TT6 is not that smooth as on my previous Qtek 9000...although I am overclocking to 247 and running on 8MB PP. Maybe its caused by my 4GB MicroSD card I dont know!
Also I have a few "bugs" on my TT, voice instructions sometimes do not match the visual commands and the daylight/night colors function is reversed.
Have reinstalled TT on a fresh WM6 installation with the same results...
Will see now if there is a difference between version 6.01 and 6.03...
And yes I have paid for my TT6 !
HTC4350 here with Holux GPSlim 236
Working with MapFactor Navigator 6, GPS Utilities and Oziexplorer just fine
Also tried GPS Tuner but it won't start because it needs more free memory, though i haven't yet tried the pagepool change.
Other than that, works perfect

Try 6MB PP. No glitches at all, as long as I exit Internet Explorer first. And of course removing everything but btdwake, CapNotify, poutlook and WiFiInit from Windows/Startup. I think I'll remove poutlook, too and see if that stops ActiveSync from starting all by itself all the time.
Also I have a few "bugs" on my TT, voice instructions sometimes do not match the visual commands and the daylight/night colors function is reversed.

None of that here, using 6.030 (8320).
I am using TT6 with WM6 without any problems! And it runs fast!
My BT GPS receiver is a cheap Sirf3.

Using TT6 (6.0.3.0 8320) with a TomTom BT GPS and it works great, never had to configure the GPS, TT always find it. But I can't get OziExplorer working with the TT GPS.
Thanks
Hello all,
I own a tmobile wing..
and am also planning to use gps on it..and plan to buy the holus m1000 as well since many of you already use it.. but when looking up prices on tomtom6.. it's usually around 150.00-250.00
can you guys please tell me of a site where you found it relatively cheap.. ?
Hi there I recently upgraded my blue angel to WM6, And ever since TomTom Navigator 6 has been running so slow its unusable. Every time I press anything I have to wait between 40-60 secs before it executes the press. Everything else apart from TOMTOM runs fine and zippy. Is there a patch or tweak to give me the speed back.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I have tried both Tomtom 5 and Tomtom 6 on thisd WM6 ROM and have no problems at all. It runs very fast. The problem is with your machine.
Just one tip: TomTom is really ****ty app and sometimes have such odd delays because of searching for GPS. Turn GPS function off (offline mode or whatever is the name) or connect the GPS before starting TT. It helps. This is the only aplication I know that has this king of problem.
On WM5, the solution to TomTom slow down was to make sure the phone radio was turned on before launching TomTom. For some reason Tomtom freezes up if you start it when the phone radio is off.
thank you Fredrick_Fredrickson. Worked a treat . Thank you everyone else that took the time to read and reply.
Have exactly the same problem, but my phone is always turned one. Maybe someone got some more ideas?
U pleople are legends
Thanks for all the help in this forum
Very late arrival to this thread, but just wanted to say a big thanks to Fredrick_Fredrickson for that advice, which works great - had the slow/unusable Tomtom bug across different versions of TT Navigator and on different roms - just turned the phone radio on and it suddenly works perfectly. So glad I found this thread!
I had similar issues with tomtom after upgrading to wm6.1, make sure your beam is turned off which should help, as it uses one od the avaliable com ports, My problem resolved by moving on to a different version of TomTom as the one i had was just so glitchy when BA was running on battery power,
