BT GPS COM port not showing in TomTom

Have just installed WM6 (JW 2.02.02 WWE) and everything appears to be fine except for the BT com port in TomTom Nav5. Have paired the BT GPS, set the outgoing port (COM0) but it doesn't appear in the list of ports available in TomTom.
Is this a known issue or have I got to set something else? Have also tried the External GPS manager in 'Settings' but that port doesn't show either.

I've had the same problem.
What I've done about this, is I've added a Serial port profile for the GPS device. Then went into TomTom and the port was in the list. This port has worked fine.
Tried setting External GPS in the Settings/Connections, to share it, well - TOUGH, does not work.
So I have a working TomTom and I gave up for now about the sharing stuff...

Try setting port 8.

I'm not interested in sharing it (at the moment).
Can you explain what you mean by 'added a serial port profile'?
I've set up an outgoing com port in settings > bluetooth > COM ports but it's not seen by TomTom

I must have tried all the ports that were available but none of them show. All I get is the standard TomTom list: -
QCT Data Interface
Serial Cable on COM1
COM7
RIL on COM6
Infrared Port
Ir on COM3
and of course non of those work either.

Exactly where you wrote it, in COM ports.
Then I've selected "Other Bluetooth GPS receiver" as receiver type in TomTom 6, and here's what I have:
COM5:
QCT Data Interface
Serial Cable on COM1:
COM7:
RIL on COM6:
Infrared Port
Ir on COM3:
COM4:
COM5 is my attempt to share GPS which is failing so far, so disregard it for here (but I'll try COM8 later). COM4 is the Outgoing Bluetooth port and that's the one I selected.
I must admit that I honestly don't understand why this setup works for me. I expected to put Incoming port number (a common for all devices) there, but obviously didn't have it.

Hmmm, that's strange. What you have is exactly what I used to get in WM5 but it doesn't seem to work in WM6? I'm also on TT5 so that may be an issue?
From what I can see, the 'QTC Data Interface' is the GPS sharing port and is actually COM9, installed by the OS. But it doesn't work!
Frustrating............!
I'm also getting tons of memory leak by the looks of it.

SORTED!
Feel a bit stoopid. Checked the version of TT5 and it showed 5.0. Upgraded to 5.21 (which is what I thought I installed) and bingo! Com port shows and works.
Thanks to all who made suggestions.

Man, my TomTom is version 6.010.
Just in case, it's available.

put in External GPS the program port on 8.
then you will see com 8 in TomTom.
connect it in TomTom and after that change the program port back to none and hardware port on 8.
problem solved.

I've had this problem on a Mini S, Exec, Vario II.
Some times just removing TomTom and re-installing it seems to work. On several occasions the correct COM port shows up in TomTom. I honestly don't know why. It seems a bit random.

I have seen some recommendation to not select Bluetooth receiver. I don't know, I thought it would be un-cool So I made it work with Bluetooth receiver.

I know, but the old TT5 maps won't work with 6 and I've got quite a few that don't come with the Europe disk.

solution to tt gps connection problems
hi everyone with this problem,
no matter what your setup is vario, xda, dell, tt5 or tt6, tomtom gps or other GPS try this method (it does bloody work) :
STEP 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5 OR TT6
You do this by copying the CAB files from the CDROM using JasJar or using SD card o any other way
STEP 2 : UPGRADE (THIS IS NOT ESSENTIAL, ONLY DO IT IF YOU HAVE A NON-HOKY COPY OF TT)
http://www.htcclub.net/storage/ppcupd510.rar
or just overwrite patched version of main executable file over original
also having this install on some vario 2 may also help BTHTools1100.
STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
this is hidden option but if you use this wisely you will take control over your GPS but in many cases this is reson why tt sometimes works sometimes doesn't.
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 TOMTOM
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 8. (optional: make it non secure if available)
3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None, also you should pay attention to 3 tab and allow windows to manage it - for now, you don't really want Bill managing things as it is recipe for disaster.
4. Start TT and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5. (if you don't get the port go back one step and check 3 tab)
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.(and now is the right time untick 3 tab option and stop auto managing)
8. Finally start TT and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
Congratulations
well, in case something didn't go well start from scratch - reset your software restore your registry and reinstall as much as you can get back to factory defaults using hard reset and etc.
I know this is is in bits available elsewhere but this is more complete and little bit more up to date, but there is still hundreds of people looking for this.
THE SUMMARY
I've spent many many days looking for solutions, registry and web and all sort of tools to solve this, but this method works the treat - and it does make perfect sense - I suspect the reason why this is such a problem is timeout. windows is not a good platform - and it is locked by ms and all sorts of legacy issues. Obvious reason is tt doesn't load quickly enough and and detecting correct port seem to an issue so if you follow instruction you will see that sulotion is guiding your software to speak with 3party hardware having windows in the middle
good luck

Paulius - Excellent instructions and they work just great.
However....For me it only works one time. By that I mean after I turn everything off and then want to use it another time - it again cannot see the GPS device - and I have to do all of the above again.
Do you know why the settings are not retained? Note; I have unticked the the stop auto managing option already.
Hope you can assist.

Paulius - Excellent instructions and they worked fine but only the first time unfortunately for me.
i.e the next time I want to use tomtom - i have to go through all of the above again as it cannot find the GPS again.
Have you come across this before. Note: I have done exactly everything you have instructed above

Tomtom loses GPS settings

I had the same problem.
Luckily I had a backup of my TomTom installation.
It all comes up to the navigator.cfg file inside the Navigator folder. I copied the old one over and did not enter TomTom's GPS Setup menu anymore.
All I did after flashing was to just pair my BT GPS receiver and start TomTom. One needs to wait 5 seconds or so after the main screen opens, until the GPS is found. Do not try to select the receiver in the settings menu!
This happend on both my devices (BA and UNIVERSAL) after installing a WM6 firmware WITH the GPS Manager in the Settings.
Cheers,
vma

Thanks VMA - I understand.
Did you setup an outgoing port though in Bluetooth?

reply to nsm
hi nsm, sorry it took this long to respond, I didn't know the solution to your problem.
However, after few gliches with my pda's I think I can add to the list of thing to go wrong.
First is WM itself sometimes causes problems - so before you do anything else turn it of and on again - it did happen to me in the middle of london and I come from Lithuania well, it can be good fun navigating through canary warf without gps - aim for tall buildings :-D or away from them.
Second is once you followed my original instruction do not go back to gps settings menu, because after this you will have to start again from begining.
Third - is do allow minute or few for gps to lock onto satellites - especially if you are in doors or between buildings. Once in Crete it was quite hard to find satellite signal because of a mountains and I had clear sky view to one direction - but as you drive especially bigger cars, metal body will block signal.
Fullproof recipe is to have two units, if possible for one of them use bluetooth separate gps module as this will allow you to place both gps unit and pda screen in ideal locations for satellite signal and driver.
Fourth - this is boring and can take a lot of time, but may resolve lots of weird issues. Follow my instructions and then you set your tomtom to use data transfer baud rate 4800, 9600 and etc do try all the options - from low to high rate, this means that every time you'll have to start again instructions from beginning. TT6 on some of my pda's prefers 56700, tt5 - 4800 and so on. give this some time explore all the settings.
And finally if you have stability issues check your pda memory limits - try not to push it to 90%+ on unit or memory car, best is to leave plenty on both, this may cause settings not to be saved and all sorts of bugs.
the practical advice is to keep selling and buying pdas till you find one which will do the job for you, Try ebay , but do check descriptions and guides and most important sellers rating! All pda, mda and nokia simbion phones I tried with enough effort will work but many many of them have issues with stability or are difficult to setup.
Hope this helps.
Good luck

Problems setting up bluetooth GPS to device.

Hello to everyone.
I have wm 6 crossbow , tomtom and a bluetooth gps revceiver (EVERMORE BT-R700).
I can connect it to the device, with password 0000 but I can't manage for TOMTOM to find it. I saw smth in settings like external gps settings. If I have to setup any com port, how can I manage to find the right port and baund speed of this gps device.
I have to say that on bt manual it doesn't say those specifications.
thank you in advance guys

hi There
i got these from some other forum
15. Using File Explorer, navigate to the .CAB file you copied to your SD card and install R-Edit
on your Pocket PC. R-Edit can be acquired from http://www.pocketfleet.homeunix.com/REGEDIT.htm
but you can also Google for any other Windows Mobile 5 Registry Editor.
16. Run R-Edit from the Programs Menu.
17. Within R-Edit, navigate to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings"
18. Within the registry key, delete the DWORD entry marked "Hide"
19. Add a DWORD entry called "Group" and give it a Value of "2"
20. Soft reset your Pocket PC.
21. On your Pocket PC, go to Settings > Connections to ensure that the GPS icon is there.
If it is not then I can only apologise but it may not be possible to get TomTom working with
your GPS device. It is necessary for TomTom to see a specific GPS serial port that can
(as far as I can tell) only be set by this GPS connection program. After you have paired
with your Bluetooth GPS device you could try setting an Outgoing port to COM7: as that is
a default COM port that TomTom Navigator can connect to. Do step 22 then skip to step 26.
22. Turn on your Bluetooth GPS and stick it in a location that it's likely to get a signal.
On your Pocket PC, enable Bluetooth and search for new devices. Establish a bond (pair) with
your GPS device and ensure you check the "Serial Port" option.
23. Go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth. Create a new Incoming COM Port. I chose COM8 for this.
24. Other guides on the Internet tell you to also create an Outgoing port and setting it
as COM7 but doing this would not work on the PPC that I was using so I had to create the
Outgoing COM port on COM0. Either way you need an Outgoing COM port to be set.
If you can set it as COM7: then you should do so, if not, use COM0:
25. Go to Settings > Connections > GPS. Set the GPS communication port to the same
Outgoing COM port that you set above. For the PPC I was using,
I had to set it as COM0: above so will set it here as COM0: also.
The "Manage GPS Automatically" checkbox should already be checked but if it isn't, check it and OK out.
26. Start up TomTom Navigator using the Programs menu and run through the setup procedure as
normal but select "Other Bluetooth GPS" when asked to select a GPS device.
27. TomTom will ask you to now pair your GPS device with your Pocket PC.
We've already done that so click Continue.
28. You will be given a list of ports that your GPS device is likely to be on.
Remember that this is the Outgoing port that we created earlier in steps 24 and 25.
Basically the COM port you set here must be the same as the one you set in step 24 and 25.
29. Select the relevant COM port and then click Next. You will likely be taken straight
in to the map view and with any luck your Pocket PC and GPS device will start communicating and your Pocket PC will show your position on the map.
30. If you made a mistake in setting the COM port that your GPS device lives on,
simply tap anywhere on the screen. Tap Preferences, tap Next three times until you
see an icon that looks like a satellite labelled GPS status. Tap that icon and then tap configure to change the COM port.
i HTH
Kind Regards

What version of TomTom are you using? I had exactly the same problem using TT5.0 but when I upgraded it to TT5.21 the com port became visible in the TomTom settings.

I use TOMTOM 6.0
"external gps" icon is enabled on my settings/connections, this means I didn't had to setup that registry entries and I have 2 tabs to setup there.
"GPS program port" and "Gps hardware port".
I did com 7 at program port and also i've spent several hours choosing different ports in both different tabs but without results. At gps whardware tab, there's also a baund rate which I tried to search wich speed my gps
device has but I failed with google searching manuals/specs.
Also I tried emt gps view, to get the hardware settings but I failed on finding the right baund rate

WM6 and Holux GPSlim236

After updating my wizard to WM6 I can't establish a connection to Holux GPSlim236 GPS reciever. It finds and install the device fine, but I can't pair afterwards (blue button blinking every 3 sekunds)
Any suggestions?

what rom are you using? i use a gpslim 236 also, i had a problem with faria's rom a long time ago when i upgraded. but it was only once out of probably 30 flashes. i may try just reflashing if you have the time and patience. just my 2 cents

No problem with Holux and NBD8.2

I am using TNT4 and gpslim without problems!
the only issue was that i had to use com 7, didnt accepted any other Com.
Try this!
Cheers

Holux GPSslim236
I used it on NBD8.2, XDA mobile 62a, and just paired it with WRCX 3. I have used it on other roms I haven't found a ROM here that it didn't owrk on.

Did you setup the com port
After pairing the device did you go to the comport tab and set up an outgoing comport?

TomTom with GPSlim 236 - instructions
I have used XDA Mobile 6 version and NBD (7 & 8) versions with GPSLIM 236 and i did not have any problems. Follow the instructions below and it should work.
TOM TOM SOFTWARE INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
1. Install Tomtom 6 from Memory card.
2. Exit from Tomtom after initial Tomtom settings (Do not set up the connection with Bluetooth receiver at this time)
3. IMPORTANT: First pair the GPS BT device with the Phone. Open Bluetooth settings under Comm Manager. Add New Device -> After detecting the GPS use passcode ‘0000’.
5. Select the “GPS device” under Devices, Goto COM Ports tab, Add new outgoing port and set to COM7.
6. Leave the defaults under Connection -> Settings -> External GPS in WM6.
7. Start Tomtom and go GPS Hardware configuration.
8. Select “Other Bluetooth” device and select COM7.
9. Now GPS should be working.
10. Exit properly (Use Tomtom "Exit application" menu to exit)
11. Restart Tomtom and it should be working normally.

Can't pair
A late response - been out
Thank you for the answers, but I still can't get it to work. I'm using NBD v9.1.
Here's what I do:
1. Under bluetooth -> devices I add a new device
2. The Holux is found and I use the code 0000
3. I check the box "Serial Port"
After that I can't pair the devices. When I turn on the Holux, the blue light keeps blinking fast. Normally it start blinking slow when connect
What I'm I missing?

Are you sure you have the correct passcode and are entering it correctly?

Remove the battery from the GPS mouse and turn it on. Then you can try to pair it again. The Holux GPS can be finicky at times, especially if it has the old firmware. You have to use a special $20 cable from Holux to flash new firmware.

As i mentioned in the earlier post 'You still need to sellect your com port"
after you select serial port and select save you will see your device "highl light it" select the bottom tab and select an out going com port I used 6 I believe.

Auto setting GPS device to allow com0 as outgoing port

Hello,
I currently have tomtom navigator 5 running on an XDA IIs via a bluetooth GPS device on windows mobile 6.
When I want to run tomtom, i use the quick link to "FTECH-SPP" (the bluetooth gps device) once this is done, I then have to select "com ports" > "new outgoing port", select the device, next, then select com port 0 and finish. I can then run tomtom.
My question is, how can automate the whole bluetooth stage to a script I can execute in one touch?
Any advice is welcome!
Cheers

Surely cant you just go into the bluetooth settings, tap on your GPS device, tick the box for a bluetooth serial port service. Go back into bluetooth settings and select the com ports tab, set the com port there. It should be set permenantly to that port now.
In settings in WM6 go into "external GPS" and setup the software ports for it.
Tomtom should use the port you selected when you first ran it.

I want it to automatically assign com0 as the outgoing port every time it syncs with the gps device, which I manually have to do everytime it syncs.

GPS Intermediate driver with external Bluetooth GPS device

Hi Forum,
well the Diamond (Touch) Pro's internal GPS device isn't really good.
Therefore I wanted to use my other Bluetooth device for Navigational Tools.
Pairing the external BT GPS and setting it to Com: 2 wasn't a problem and I can read the data when accessing the port directly on Com: 2.
But I use a few tools that use the Parsed Driver (GPS Intermediate Driver).
So I tried to set the "External GPS" Utility to:
(1st Page)
GPS Program Port: Com 1
(2nd Page)
GPS Hardware Port: Com 2 (as set in Bluetooth settings for the external BT GPS device)
(3rd Page)
Autmatic management: Ticked
But whatever I set on the second page is REVERTED to
GPS Hardware Port:NONE
after clicking OK.
Does anyone know how to manually set my external Bluetooth GPS device as the source for the GPS Intermediate driver ?
And / Or:
How can the internal GPS be turned totally off ?
Any help an that behalf is very much appreciated!!
Regards
Zigster
PS: I translated that GPS description part from my German O2 branded "Diamond Pro", so it might not be totally the same in an English version.

When you say the internal GPS isn't very good, what do you mean? How are you attempting to acquire GPS? In what conditions? Inside? Outside?
In my experience so far with the Raphael, the GPS is pretty good for an embedded device. Will it be as good as a well designed stand-alone receiver? No. But for most navigation I find it to be good enough.

... well the point is, that want to use an external Bluetooth device as an Input source for the GPS Intermediate driver and not the internal GPS device.
The reasons why are somewhat irrelevant, but here are mine:
The internal GPS receiver
1) is laggy (despite all the helpful tips I already tried)
and
2) it is not very sensitive (no indoor reception)
My external BT GPS Receiver (iBT-GPS) is much more accurate (!!!) and very sensitive (Indoor reception) and sometimes it comes in handy to put the reciever into another spot than the phone.
And I can set that device to 5Hz Refresh, if needed.
So thanks for any help !!

Zigster

Hi Forum,
there is a solution for the above problem, but with a sting:
It seems, that the fix produces a heavy cpu load on the diamond or on it's comm port, since the diamond is much less responsive even though CPU load sticks around 40-50 % (which is rather normal).
Here is what I did from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293548 :
To enable this, your smartphone must be application unlocked! (i.e. modify the registration settings)
First setup a comm port for your Bluetooth GPS devices as usual:
Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth.
Make sure Bluetooth is set to "On".
Menu/Devices
Menu/New
Select your GPS device from the list and press Next.
Enter the passkey for the Bluetooth GPS.
Next
You should get a message box saying "Your Smartphone has connected".
NOTE: It is important to remember the name of you Bluetooth GPS receiver that was added. Let’s call this variable GPSNAME.
OK
Next
Check the "Serial port" checkbox.
Done
Done
Menu/COM Ports
Select your GPS.
Menu/New Outgoing Port.
Select your device and press Select.
You will see a COM port that has been chosen for your GPS. For example, COM6.
Done
Done
Done
Now your GPS is set up on COM6.
Next setup the GPS Intermediate Driver environment using a registry editor:
Start > File Explorer > Up > Program Files > RegEdit
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]
Select Values > Menu > New Value> DWORD "IsEnabled"=1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers]
Select > Menu > New Key > GPSNAME
Values > Menu > New Value> DWORD" CurrentDriver=GPSNAME"
Back > Select GPSNAME
Select Values > Menu > New Value> String CommPort=COM6: <------ COMM PORT SETUP ABOVE Done
Select Values > Menu > New Value> String FriendlyName=GPSNAME
Select Values > Menu > New Value> String InterfaceType=COMM
Restart your phone, launch GMM and start the GPS function.
Google Mobile Maps with work now with an external Bluetooth GPS receiver.
Hope to see some comments from you folks ;-)
Greetings

Attached is the registry file I created to get it to work for my Qstarz BT-1000X.
Customize the registry file for the device's name and the comm port you set up in the Bluetooth setup as described in zigster's post.
Seems WM's External GPS is either broken, or ODM locked. Use CamerAware Buddy to restart the GPS Intermediate Driver, and voila.

I was having the same trouble, also thought i was having trouble with the bluetooth device list showing the GPS device as disconnected, but that's just because it wasn't in use (or just the way COM BT devs work).
This fix worked, and was easy as heck to apply thanks to the EXE here: Link to thread
I was a little nervous because it was so old and for a different device, but it worked a trick.
Now windows is managing the external bluetooth like it should, and programs seem to connect no problem.
Before, i could set the hardware ports myself in google or tomtom, but if i let windows manage it, it would always use the internal GPS. Now it works great.
Thanks,

Mortscript to install GPS intermediate driver
Here is a mortscript to install GPS intermediate driver over com port and also select which driver to use (installed ones or original one).
It's my first try to script with mortscript, so you better do a backup of the
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\ registry key before trying it.
It also create a registry key:
HKLM\Software\GPSDeviceSelector
where it stores a list of script installed drivers and the orginal "CurrentDriver" value. (CurrentDriver value when the script was run for the first time).
To install intermediate driver you will need to know the exact name of the device as stated in the bluetooth setting, the com port used by the device (also visible in bluetooth settings) and the baud rate of the com port which should be stated somewhere in your GPS device manual.
I did for my HTC HD2 and it works good on that device with the Qstarz Q-1000EX bluetooth GPS.
You will, of course need to install mortscript 4.1 for the script to work:
Feedback welcome!
