Imate 8502 GPS Problem?

Hi guys,
Recently I bought Imate 8502. Everything works fine. I have installed tomtom 6.01 for wm6 (which works fine on my other htc p3600i)
Now problem in in Imate 8502 when i go in to the settings>External GPS>Hardware... it shows me "gps Hardware port "(none)". If I select any port and press ok and open it again, again it shows "(none)" in gps hardware port. So whts wrong with that.
Also tomtom is not working in Imate 8502. in tomtom software setting doesn't show gps port.(like in htc p3600i gps settings shows that gps in com9). I tried too much to solve this problem but got failure and failure. So I am asking help from any expert here.
Please help me.. I want to run GPS software in Imate 8502
Thanks in advance

tomtom cant see your build-in gps port
GPSgate will make a virtual gps comm port that gps programs able to see

Need Some knowledge
Dear Chintak i also have an 8502 but still serching for upgrade as u said u upgraded it with tomtom it realy works and how is the procedure to upgrade
will appriciate help .

hi ayesha,
I didn't upgraded anything in imate, I just installed tomtom for ppc.
but tomtom can't read gps port so m looking for another option

OK - hope this helps some....
I have the I-mate 8502, and TomTom 6 running fine.
Things I did:
- Installed TomTom...
- Went to Wireless Manager and enabled GPS. These are my GPS settings by tab (can get to them via Wireless Manager):
>Programs: GPS program port - COM9 (default setting
>Hardware: No GPS port specifed (not needed) and baud rate 4800 (again not needed) - these are default settings
>Access: Manage GPS automatically is checked (again default)
The only setup in TomTom was to set the GPS device to the IMEA option.
TomTom should see the device, but display a message that no gps satellites found or it searching. It usually takes a couple of minutes for the GPS to pass through satellite information to TomTom first time but it then works great.
Running the Telstra WM6 Rom

I followed Rathalian's instructions and it worked perfectly for me too.
I did have to select COM9 as the COM Port of the GPS device in Tom Tom Configuration.
I am also using a Telstra WM6 ROM.

Thanks everybody its working now thank you very much everyone

i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?
Good afternoon, folks
I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.
As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking:
is anybody willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.
Warm regards,
Manuel

TomTom One (new edition) and HTC S710

Hi all,
I have a question regarding my tomtom one device and my S710. I don't get it to work together.
The connection is a DUN connection, however when i try to connect it tells me that my phone has none of the needed instructions or functions to get to the internet.
Can someone help me with this?
Kind regards and thanks in advance .

I think this is the solution for your problem.
enjoy

Thanks for answering but i already tried that. I installed the application and tried to connect but i still get the same error from my tomtom device.

It is working . But then my tomtom device is not recognising my HTC S710 :/

That's the reason why i have to use this patch.
Sorry, no more idea.

TMC usage with iGO8

Has anyone have any successful experiance with iGO8 using TMC on a PDA?
In short- I have a GNS trafficbox TMC reciever. I have iGO8 R3 and I ahve a P3600 (trinity) phone. The phone has WM6.1 operating system..
Trying to config it to be able to identify the hardware (it is physically connected to the mini USB on the phone there are 3 variables. TMC protocol (I assume GNS) , COM port, and baud rate.
I have tried any combination possible (including all auto) and get one result- 'NO TMC hardware found'
Does anyone knows how it can be configured? Another 'rumor' I read on the forum is iGO8 8.3.x does not have a working TMC at all, and that 8.0.x recognize the hardware but nothing further.
I know it is more an 'iGO' question than XDA, but it is related, and this forum is the only forum I know with responsive people and knowledge.
Thanks in advance

I've emailed NavNGO Israel about this as i wanted to use a special positioning system for a friend who's in the military.. unfortunatly, I would have to tell you that unless someone found an unformal solution which I don't know about, you will have to give it up.
you can use a TMC with bluetooth tho... http://www.gns-gmbh.com/index.php?id=72&L=1

Problem with TomTom Home

Hello!
I've been trying to connect my F1 to TomTom Home so I could updape my maps, but it won't recognize my device.
It hapened to anyone?
Thank you!

If the situation is anything like the F900 I used to have, it's because the S200 is not recognised as a compatible device by TomTom. Ridiculous, considering how well the software actually runs on the device, but there it is. You will have to resort to *ahem* "alternative" methods to update any maps you have on it.

Thank you for Posting back to Me!

I've not played with the Acer but you may need to connect in disk drive mode instead of normal sync and then start TOMTOM home.
