Hi, Can anyone help. I have an XDA II which under Bluetooth Settings has Bluetooth Serial Port Setup for COM port 4 and 5. This enables me to connect to Bluetooth GPS.
My friend has also XDAII, but it does not have Bluetooth Serial Port Setup, therefore unable to communicate with Bluetooth GPS.
How do we get COM4 and COM5 on my friends PDA?
Have a look at this site http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html download, install and configure then you will find the missing BT ports - Mike

has anyone in Australia got Copilot GPS bluetooth version to sucessfully work with their XDAII.
I can get mine to bond but not to pick up the GPS signal when in the copilot program. Any clues? ideas?
I have the latest ROM 1.60.00WWE and Radio 1.08.00
Cheers,
xda or xdaII
same problem with xda and cable GPS receiver, XDA will not recognise or open the com port for the receiver. No joy yet from Co-pilot tech support.

Guess I'm about to find out..
:? I just ordered Co-pilot for delivery monday. I have latest XDA Asia rom, also BT tools package loaded, and generally find most port openings and applications flakey. Apps crash, no GPS info displayed or satellite histograms. Monitor untilities go for a while and stop or crash.
I have used Navigator for a while from Magellan fails on BT, works on Com1 with wired GPS, but wanted to switch to co-pilot for much greater functionality.
I have Holux GR-230 GPS which canbe wired or BT, and a home buily GPS receiver based on a motorola module which has RS-232 conversion to connect to XDA-II via serial cable to com 1. This worked with NAvigator, Holux is problematic with Navigator.
Will advise here how I go..
Using Copilot with XDA II
I have been using Copilot version 4.0. You would need to install Tobias excellent utility which allows you to create a virtual serial port. You can download it from http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html.
Install this utlity and it will allow you to open a serial com port from within the Copilot program. Copilot is quite cool! I use it to navigate my way around Sydney.
Hope this helps.

Grout, dont forget to disable IR beams rx settings for wired
Thanks raykan, I'm in the same position as you so should be ok when I get co-pilot.
As per the title, Grout if you have a wired GPS, you need to disable the XDA-II IR Beam tick box as it somehow shares resources with the hardware serial com port 1 and applications that try to open com port one fail to open the port.
I have had most success with wired GPS on COm port 1.
CHeers,
Success so far..
Well, I can't be an expert after one day, but for those wanting to know about XDA-II and Travroute Co-pilot Australian version here are a few things that may help...
1. It's more than 10 tims better functionality and reliability than the previous package I had from Magellan Perth call Navigator.
2. Very configurablem but I installed the SD card and right away the software installed itself from the card and I was running 5 minutes later. Definately a QUICKSTART. The CD allows you to recreate the card, install via activesync, and install on the PC desktop.
3. Works with my Holux GR-230 BT GPS (I use the excellent BT tools) on COM7. Also works on COM1 with my home made GPS via serial port.
4. The manual says the internet live function is extra cost, but it works fine. The desktop version can communicate via internet to the mobile via GPRS and show the location on a map for tracking, also you can send messages to the mobile including redirecting its route/destination and the mobile can accept or not. VERY GOOD.
5. Not sure of home much GPRS traffic is used as my GPRS cost tracking software does not register it in the reports. COuld be a setup problem.
6. I'm VERY impressed so far. Tracking with GPRS is very good.
No doubt I'll find more + or - but if you wonder if it works on XDA-II currend 1.6 WWE edition the answer is yes!
Cheers
Hi,
I need to know how to configure the COM5 of an XdaII for the BT GPS Leadtek9553. Only let me COM7 as a port free, and doesn't work.
Please Help me!!!
Anyone with these problems?

Leadtek
Hi there, it should work like this:
Com port: 7
Baud Rate: 57600
Protocol: NMEA
These are my settings, using Destinator3. and Leadtek Bluetooth.
Keep me posted, if it does not work I will send you a program that adds services to your bluetooth.
GPS Connection
I have successfully operated Navman SmartST navigation system on my XDA II. The problem is that I am now trying to reinstall it & the drop down Com port options list only Com ports 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 & 9. Coms 4 & 7, which I need, used to be there but have disappeared. I have tried a hard boot but to no avail. Any ideas?
I got a GPS receiver, this one: http://www.widget.co.uk/asp/product...cat=45&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=
It didn't come with any instructions.
I am trying to pair it with my phone, as Tomtom 5 asks me to, but I don't know what passkey to put in or how to go about doing it...
I have created a connection to it in bluetooth manager and tried to add it in tomtom to no avail.
I have an XDA 2i with all the default ROMs etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.
[Edit]
After digging around on the net I found out how to pair them. It seems that the company who sold me this didn't even include the code to pair the device with! Now I have the problem of tomtom not detecting it...
It seems that COM6 is the port which the bluetooth GPS receiver is on but in tomtom it only lets me select from COM4, COM2 and COM9 - how should I go about connecting it?
NB: I have tested the GPS with some application that I found for it on the net and it *seems* to not have a fix, though it has been connected and turned on a long time.

Hi, i'm having a problem getting Tomtom6 & my BT GPS receiver to work together. It is paired to my Vario II but it will not let me conect on com port 6.
Any help appreciated.
I have my BT GPS on Com 8 outgoing port with secure connection off, this works for me everytime.
I think I've managed to get it to work. I've had to create a new unsecured port on '0' & this seems to be working, don't know why port 6 won't work though.
