SameProblem?!
Hello!
I'm a newbee... i want to connect a GPS 4TomTom to the USB Port.
So i don't really know, how to connect the MDA II to the USB GPS-Mouse.
I've taken an USB cable, that could charge the MDA II and build a adapter to connect the cable and the GPS Mouse in it. It won't work. I've think so already, but i've read it anywhere in the www.
So, could anybody help me with the Problem?
I've an Haicom HI-202E GPS-Mouse,
the MDA II :wink:
a soldering iron...
and a 5V Powersupply in my adapter (consists of 2 USB ports connected to each other, powersupplied with an 7805 (2A))
How can i fix it?
Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but i think, that wouldn't work.
The USB Specifications says that USB requires one master device to controll the slave devices. Your PC is the master device and the mda is just an slave. You won't be able to get 2 slaves talking to each other without a master.....
Stefan
cant the MDA work as an Master?
I've heard it so. But I'm not shure.
Some people gets a external HDD working on other PDA's.
I'll look and think about, but i've never found anithing an web for thet problem/solution. :roll:
I've wondered that nobody wants to connect more on the PDA...
I mean 20Gig HDD may be nice in Holliday to listen music :wink:
the tomtom software for PPC's will enable under "GPS-status - GPS" the options to select a protocol/GPS-Mouse and the connection:
Ir
BT on com6
serial on com1
com9
.
.
Serial on USB
Bluetooth GPS
so, i thought it will
Thanks for more...
Found this in another thread:

Yes, this is right. The XDA2 won't function as a USB host. You do need that backpack and a www.ratocsystems.com host card. Then it will work.
I know this becuase I'm trying to link mine up to a HDD to store loads of music in my car and use the PPC as a controller but I don't want the confounded backpack - for you though on the motorbike, only using it when you need it it sounds perfect.

Hi
I have an xda 1 & am trying to get the gps to work. I have a Haicom hi204s gps receiver & a (ic-xda-ht for 02 xda tmoble ) cable for the car.
The software I am using is tom tom 3 ver 3.02
I have turned the beam off
My settings for the gps page are Haicom GPS + com1
I am at a loss !!

@nobody: THE MDA can ony act as slave.
BUT: For GPS you ony need a serial port. And after all USB IS a serial type of port.
Only thing you need to do is solder a cable that connects the +5v, ground, Tx and Rx of the GPS USB connector to the appropiate pins of the MDA connector . . . .
On one of the german forums (cant remember the name :-( )there is a memeber nicked 'mocki' that offers custom built cables.
Tanman, choose nmea 4800 and com 1. Make sure beams are off and also that you dont have a keyboard driver loaded. Go to the gps screen in tomtom and see if there is any bars showing for satellites. If this doesnt work or gives an error let me know.
Hi cruisin-thru
Worked a treat
what I could not find at first was 'nmea 4800' which was the name of the sat receiver
Nice one thanx a lot
Tan
Tanman, that is actually the protocol used by the receiver rather than the name/model. Glad its sorted for you.

:?: :?:
So what you're saying is that, asl ong as the hardware is compatible with NMEA, we can use this generic driver with the correct baud spreed ?
Yes
My XDAII wont connect to GPS. I have tomtom5 installed on my xdaII and have tried a BT GPS receiver and a wired one. It will ask you the device type unpon installation and then the port number.
no i dea which port to use and have tried then all anyway. I get a message no device connected. I cannot keep my BT device connect when i pair it either. Tried this on a XDAIIs aswell and exactly same prob.
Please help!!
i would try unchecking "recieve all beam files" in connections
to release com1
and try once more
Turn off beams releases com 1 for the wired gps. I think wired gps is the way to go if you need it for incar use only, I see far too many problems with bluetooth and if you have no sense of direction like me it is very annoying when the bluetooth decides to start acting stupid.
i will try
thanks guys im away from home till wknd so i will try this when i get back.
i will let you know if it works.
thanks
Yup that worked great thanks guys
Hi all, I've problem to connect my GPS Bt receiver to the Pda.
I've an MDA pro and when I try to set port com on Bt settings only port 0 and 8 are available, but GPS software (1.50) in TT5.21 see only com7.
What I've I do to connect it?
Thank a lot..
Nobody?
Hmmm wasn't exactly buried in the search results

Hi thanks a lot for the link but I try to change com port 7 in 8 by an hex editor but when I run TT5 the port number come back in 7 and don't find any GPS receiver.
I don't know to do more..
Resolved..thankx a lot...
TT5.21 goes!!!..This morning I'm using it but after half an hour the program hang up..
May be the batery level too low?
Hi all, nothing to do, TT5.21 sometimes hang up.
I'll try to use MDA PRO with external power.
Anyone has similar issues?
Bye..
I am running Dr. Martin Gonzos Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1 on my Vox and have got myself Tom Tom Navigator 6.030 with GPS driver v1.20 installed.
The problem is that I am trying to connect my new Holox BT-541 GPS receiver to my Vox but I'm having difficulties.
I can connect the device with bluetooth OK, but after reading some posts I also have to specify a COM port. Here lies the problem. When I try to add one the options are greyed out.
Is there something else I have to enable/do first? Or have I bought a dodgy GPS?
Please let me know if you need any more info as a resolution to this dilemma would be grately appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hello Everybody,
maybe you Gals and Guys can help me out.
I'd like to make use of TMC within my Sygic Mobile Maps.
The Idea is to use the internal FM Chip or a "FM9BT-C", made by GNS GmbH with "usually TMC-able" navigation software. (Nice side affect: FM9BT-C also brings a 5V, 1A USB Charger).
I've got a FM9BT-C laying around.
As I make use of Sygic mobile maps for Android, I know from the .ini files, that TMC is just deactivated after stock installation of Sygic.
Within the folder: "\sdcard\Drive\Android\" you can find the .ini files too.
But for now, I'm a little stuck.
The internal FM Chip seems not to be accessible.
And I can't even connect FM9BT-C to DHD.
Pairing works fine, but the my phone shows: "Paired but not connected".
I also can't connect both devices.
The TMC Device needs to be set up with a COM Port.
But atm I don't even get so far.
So guys, whats your advice?
Any Devs around, that can help out?
Is Android not TMC capable at all?
I've got Android 2.3.1 up and running on my DHD.
Kind regards,
McK
