There are 3 key steps in making TomTom 5 work on an i-mate JasJar with a Bluetooth GPS.
Many tips are scattered around in different Forums.
Here is a COMPLETE overview of what to do.
STEP 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
You do this by copying the CAB files from the CDROM (eg F:\PocketPC) to the JasJar and launch one by one from there with the explorer of the JasJar.
You can install voices the same manner by copying the CAB files to the Jasjar (eg from F:\Voice on the CDROM)
STEP 2 : UPGRADE TO V5.1
http://www.htcclub.net/storage/ppcupd510.rar
Extract and copy the files to a folder on the JasJar and install them from there.
STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
Fire up a registry editor (eg http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml )
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.
STEP 4 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 8.
3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM 8 (before we set it up at 0).
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
REMAINING PROBLEM
TomTom will only connect to the BT GPS when the Phone is switched on.
If you want to use your integrated car phone and just use the JasJar as GPS, you need to switch the Phone antenna off on the JasJar and the Bluetooth radio on (for the GPS connection). This worked perfectly before with TT3 and my i-mate PDA2K but now I am forced to activate the phone radio on the JasJar meaning that I can not use my car phone anymore !
I think it is a TT problem as I am able to connect to the GPS with other software without the phone radio switched on.
Any suggestions are welcome to solve this !
THANK YOU!

I thought the same at first when I did it, no GPS panel. You have to make sure you exit the registry editor properly by Tools -> Exit, this saves the sertting. Then you need perform a soft reset of your device - after this, the GPS panel was now displayed on mine. Let us know how you get on
cheers for that sl9. Now my only poblem is getting it working.No matter what i do all i have in other bluetooth is:
qct data interface
RIL on COM6
COM7
serial cable on COM1
Infrared port
Ir on COM3
Any ideas?cheers
Follow the instructions in that post exactly and you should see COM0 appear in tomtom's GPS configuration screen... Try doing a hard reset, then try again. It does work
soft reset in between
I had trouble installing TT. My solution was: between every install/registry change: do a soft reset. Then do the next step and soft reset and so on...
Now it works like a charm!
jasjar crash
hi i follow ur guide but it crash all the time plz help
I tried to install TT5 and i have tried every way to do it but it will not install the ttn.cab it fails every time, i have soft reset after each cab install removed the sd card anyone any ideas
thanks
Chris
jaythemagician:
Open the file \Program Files\Navigator\navigator.cfg with an editor, you will see "COM7", change it to another COM port. In my case I changed it to "COM4" and now my JASJAR can connect to the Bluetooth GPS.
can't seem to find that in the reistry....
no, not in the registry, "navigator.cfg" is a file in the filesystem. Use windows explorer, have active sync running, then you find the file in "Mobile Device->My Windows Mobile-Based Device->\Program Files\Navigator" catalog
not quite related but when i installed TTN5.1 landscape would work, since update, on the reinstall the rotate menu option is now just a turn picture upside down so it dosent work in landscape anymore, ive tried clearing all traces and installing twice since update now
sorted it. Thanks everyone. One more thing....why does it run so slooooooow
How did you guys install your maps? Normal setup, or another way?
maps are in folders on root of SD card, ie Great-Britain-Map, TTN5.1 just see's them and you choose it during the installation wizard on the JJ
hi Parw
what editor u use to open navigator.cfg file because i used notepad nad wordpad i can see only the boxes
Regards
Gugi
Hello,
How can I install the folder "voices" because this folder is not a ".cab" on my TT5 sd ?
Thanks for your help....
gugi_sat:
Two things:
1. If you don't see a COM port in the cfg file. Open tomtom and select COM7 in the GPS configuration. Close tomtom, the cfg file should now have been updated with the new port setting.
2. To be sure that you don't mess with the cfg file use a hexeditor. You will find one here -> http://www.hhdsoftware.com/free-hex-editor.html#Download
Hi parw
thanx for reply
i am not able to go that far in tomtom because it just stop after wizards
and i am using wired tomtom gps.
Please read my post below which explain the problem i have

There are only 2 com ports to use for outgoing in bt settings on k-jam com6 and com7. How do we go about getting the bt working for this?

here are 3 key steps in making TomTom 5 work on an i-mate K-JAM with a Bluetooth GPS.

ps took a couple of resets before the new gps icon would show in connections, also after editing the reg you must exit the program otherwise the changes arnt saved
thanks for that. I managed to get running on the jasjar,just the.k-jam that stumped me. aoane more quesrion though when you set your gps to 6 do you set your bt to com7?
thanks again
sorry, where are you talking about? in bt comports outgoing is set to (com6)
I have changed my orignal post to mach how it works on the K-JAM(so some people do not get confused :wink: )
thanks, now you made my post after your altered original one :? look like i'm talking a load of rubbish!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
maybe i should edit my post so my quote of your quote is the same?
is there an emotion available scratching it's head? :lol:
My tt voice is not working.....
HELP
have you gone into the voice section of tomtom to see if there are any voices to select from and test?
there are no voices to test...but they are instaled
check my blog, all answers revealed, voices and bluetooth, etc.
www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam
when you say :
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.
First I don't see any KEY called HIDE ??
I do adda DWORD called GROUP under ...../GPS/ with value 2 (decimal)
I did 8 reset and I still don't see the GPS under settings/connection ???
how can I have it show ?
thanks
help please !!! :shock:
first of all make sure you do use the exit from the reg edit program you have used, otherwise changes are not saved.
then do as you already have, a soft reset.
on mine it a couple of resets for the new icon to appear.
good luck
yes I verify the change is made.
I already did 10 soft reset still don't see GPS icon ??
I din't have a hide to remove when I went into the registry,
if i now go into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
ControlPanel
GPS Settings
i have
(Default) (value not set)
Group 0x2 (2)
and back in the real world in Settings i now have 8 icons, including one new one called GPS
perhaps instead of doing a soft reset, turn the kjam completely off and see if that helps
finally managed to get tomtom 5.1 working on the wizard.. phew
Now there's one thing regarding voices: tt only seems to recognize voices in the \tomtom\tomtom\ folder (in main memory). I'd like to put the voices on the storage card, but haven't found a way to get it to recognize additional voices there. creating a \voices dir on the sd card didn't work -- any other tweaks (main memory is kinda limited after all)?
hey guys, any of you having trouble with adding your maps?
My maps now say they need activating. It never said that before.
Cheers
Trying to follow this sionce I got it initally working and now failed
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 6 free. Select COM 6 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM (none)
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 6.
7. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
-
basically - in TT5 v5.21 I dont have under option 4 - I dont have a com port of 6 under other Bluetooth GPS
Any ideas?
Scott
TT Nav 5 Port from XDA 2 to Wizard
I have an XDA 2 now with TomTom on. If I transfer the software across as above and then change my device code with TomTom should everything work (e.g. Traffic updates, etc.) ??
<Fingers crossed>
TIA Dave.
First of all I would like to say thank you to "thereaperman" from Modaco Frums for this great help ! I took this from him and making it accessible to this forum easily for others to use !

7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
FOR THE WIZARD or IF NOT WORKING ON YOUR DEVICE TRY:
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to WHATEVER NUMBER IS AVAILABLE EXCEPT 6.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and
CHANGE GPS BT PORT SETTINGS TO WHATEVER NUMBER YOU CHOSE IN STEP 6
it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
Hope this helps all of you !!!
Or you can just install the 5.2 version and choose the port from the menu in tomtom like everyone else

Hi,
Does anyone reached to have Google Maps on their HW6915. Google Maps is not able to find the GPS for me. The only parameter in Google Map that you can change is the com port but the GPS is internal so I do not know what to put.
To have TOMTOM 6 working I edited the registry like bellow. Is it the probem?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
>HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE
>System
>CurrentControlSet
>GPS Intermediate Driver : change the key for IsEnabled from 1 to 0.
internal GPS is located on
COM port : 7
Baud rate : 57600
Hope that helps.
Perfect,
Thanks
Chris
ipaq hw6915
Please.
I would like to ask you to send me the file "RADIO.NBA" for IPAQ HW6915.
Thank you in advance for your promtness........ martin

Hello,
I develop a module GPS under pocket pc to display sentences NMEA.
The objective is to validate my module for the devices HTC
or it can have bug...
This soft is very simple.
Select COM GPS and RATE GPS your device and press TEST.
the soft open port COM serial and read data.
if the sentences NMEA display it's OK !
else i would like to understand why...
If you want to do a test on your device, thanks please tell me the result
(device, port com, rate , and test ok or not) !
link cab file :
http://rapidshare.com/files/89376324/GPS.CAB.html
??? can anyone ?
Downloading now. Give me a few minutes.
Doesn't seem to work on my XV6800.
I installed to main memory.
I tried with Google Maps on and locked to 6 satellites and with it off. I was set to Com 4 and a baud of 4800. No NMEA shown and lock = no. Left on until the device turned itself off.
My devices GPS need a prime for other software to work (TomTom, etc) but works great with Google Maps.
Another little thing you might think to fix. The text in the selection boxes is huge. Need to move down a few font sizes.
Let me know if I can do anything else.
thanks blazingwolf !
My soft test is ok for HTC touch cruise (Polaris)
But the problem is also P3300 Artemis...
I believe that we must activate some things for Qualcomm chip GPS..
( I do not documentation and web site Qualcomm Link is not valid ->
http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/gpsone.pdf )
GPS is as silent under my soft ->
- Sent a command on the link serial GPS to activate the chip ???
or specific sentence NMEA for activate sends sentences NMEA from GPS ???
- or the chip GPS uses a protocol other than NMEA ???
I am looking...
