Hy,
in some tools you have to choose the interface for your GPS connection.
COM0
COM1 and so on.
In order to use my A-GPS of X1i, which inferface I have to choose?
Is it possible at all to use A-GPS with some programs.
I just wanted to use Wififofum with my Xperia.
My wife's X1i uses COM4 with 57600 bod connection.
Stable GPS and A-GPS with iGo8.
Thanks, I'll try it.

am having problems with IGO2006 finding my bluetooth gps and Imate Jasjar, tried using wm5 gps manager, franson gpsgate and igo does not find my gps, works ok using tomtom, can anyone suggest anything please?
contact the software suppliers of those particular applications ensure they are wm5 compatible, and you are using the latest app.
gps on wm5 has caused significant problems for many, but if you have tomtom working, then the device appears to be working.
There's absolutely no magic to that. Pair with your BT receiver, create/assign an outgoing COM port (COM0 or COM8) and then specify that port in iGO or anby other GPS program. baudrate is not important, but 38400 is the default.
Try this "WM5GPSPatch.CAB":

Works for me with iGO

Both GPSGate and VisualGPSCE don't actually see the outgoing com I create there, although TomTom does. Does anyone know why?
Some programs don't handle a COM0 but all should be able to see a COM8. Make sure to uncheck "Secure connection"
Just tried again with a no name BT receiver on COM8 and iGO finds it just fine.
The tip about COM0: worked, changed to COM4: and all works OK.
Changed TomTom to COM4: too and all working as well
Many Thanks
I have tom tom and gps 2 google earth.
I want to use tom tom for navigation and gps2googleearth to save my path.
The problem is that only one program can access the virtual serial port of the bt gps receiver (holux gpslim).
I have used the registry hack to show the GPS icon at settings->connections.
My gps is at COM7.
I created a virtual port (COM8) in order to allow more than one program to access the GPS.
The think is that some programs work at COM8 but TomTom doesn't. (it only works with the real port 7...)
Is there any way to do that ?
Thanks.
I thought it would be cool to have TomTom running on a VGA device, and not have to use up a gig of storage memory on my MiniSD card for the maps. Using GPS2Blue, I was able to get it working, but it was a little tricky, so I thought I'd share what finally worked. I'm hoping that this will be useful in getting it working with other devices for those who are interested. Theoretically it should work to send the signal to laptops also.
On the X50v...
Turn on the Bluetooth
On the Trinity...
Install GPS2Blue (it's FREE) http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
In the Comm Manager, do Settings->Bluetooth
On the Devices tab, add the Axim X50v
On the COM Ports tab, create a New Outgoing Port
Select the X50v, use COM8, and un-check "Secure Connection", then Finish
Start GPS2Blue
Set the GPS as COM9, Speed 4800 (default), check the BT box, and use COM8
Then tap "On"
On the X50v...
Start TomTom
Go into the GPS device configuration screen
Select "Other NMEA GPS receiver"
Use 4800 for "GPS baud rate"
Select "Bluetooth Serial Port COM8:"
It should say "Waiting for a valid GPS signal..." for awhile, and then work.
If it says "No GPS device!", there's a communication problem. You might need to try some different port settings.
Other notes:
For some reason, the X50v only received the signal on COM8, even if I had the Trinity's outgoing connection and GPS2Blue configured for COM5 (those two need to match anyway). There didn't seem to be any configuration necessary on the X50v for incoming connections.
Enjoy!
Hi,
would like to know which port is for the internal GPS system, I deleted the pre installed tomtom navigator and try to install tomtom navigator6.0 This program prompt me for a GPS port and I don't know which one.
Could you help me?
Hi,
this is what works for me:
WM5: port 4, speed 4800, internal GPS receiver
WM6: port 5, speed 9600, Other NMEA receiver
In the settings: same data and check "automatic management" (or the like, I
have an italian OS)
Hope this can help

With AP Touch Rom 3.0 on Google Maps I have to choose port 4 with 57600.

via Settings->System->GPS I can select the com port on my T-Mobile Ameo DE
on TomTom you choose other NMEA receivers.
hi
in settings under external gps it asks for
programs .> gps program port ????
Hardware -> gps harware port -> i set it to com 4 57600
access - manage it autimatically is checked
and gps does not get any setting s in google maps
just says seeking sattleites ????
Hi.
In settings>system>external GPS:
GPS program port: WM5 -> com4, WM6 -> com5
Hardware : WM5 -> none, 4800, WM6 -> none, 9600
manage it automatically: checked
In TomTom (GPS status):
WM5: internal GPS, 4800, com4
WM6: other NMEA receiver, 9600, com5
These settings work for my device, hope it helps.

On Google Maps and Delorme Maps I get "searching for satellite" when the settings are right, but it hasn't locked-on yet. When the settings are wrong, I almost instantly get an error message. So I'm guessing if you see "searching..." you have your settings right.
As for finding a signal, the achille's heel on this unit is locking on when you are inside (either a building or even some cars). Outside or inside my car it will lock on in 20-30 seconds, sometimes sooner. Inside my house or office it will fail 98% of the time. The sirf/star unit attached to my Palm will lock on inside my house - in the middle of the 1st floor - in under 20 seconds.
I think with all the trade-offs they had to make to get all 4 antennas to work together without interference, the signal strength on the internal GPS antenna got the short straw. I have top-notch strength on the cell and bluetooth antennas, so obviously they got top priority. I don't use wifi so I don't know how well it works, but the gps signal strength could use some work for the future X7502...
GPS, TomTom
I have a T-Mobile Ameo and recently I have installed TomTom Navigator 6.
when I start TomTom it takes between 5-20 minutes before it gets connected with a satellite.
Is this normal, or is there a problem..?
if not, what should I do to resolve this problem..?
grtzz,

Hi there,
I'm running TomTom6 (navigation) and Efficasoft GPS Utilities v1.2 (GPS-Tracking) on my MDA3 with WM6.1 from eplode. Everything works fine when it's running alone. But, when I'm running both at same time, only the first one which I started gets the GPS connection.
My GPS Settings are:
- Programs: GPS program port (none)
- Hardware: GPS hardware port (none) // Baud rate: (9600)
- Access: Manage GPS automatically (on)
I didn't try any other settings yet.
What I want to do, is running both at same time, so I can track the route and speed while using the navigation.
Does anyone has a solution...?
Thx Rossi
In the windows GPS settings don't split GPS correctly, you might need to use software like GPSGate (or maybe gpsproxy).
Thx, but where can I get this...?
