MDA2 and TomTom

Hi,
does anybody know, if the TomTom Navigator work on an MDA2. I've got my MDA2 since monday and i am not able to get TomTom Navigator (Version2 incl. the newest Updates) running. The installation-process works fine, but if I start the installed software, I get the lovely circling wheel in the middle of the screen...and that's all...hmmm...so, does anybody got a working installation of tomtom2 on an MDA2 or an XDA2 ???
Next question:
Does anybody have experiences with a Bluetooth-GPS-Mouse on a MDA2 (maybe this question is not very important, if the answer of the question above will be nefative ;-)

There's a thread on Bluetooth GPS and the XDA II/MDA II (http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3341)
in which there is an answer to both your questions.
Haven't seen anything new lately on either topic:
- Tom Tom with any kind of GPS
- Bluetooth GPS

I had the same problem, then I tried a different SD (128 instead of 256) card for map storage and it works. I remember TomTom having the same problems with Ipaq 5450’s until HP issued a fix.
I’ve just ordered a Bluetooth GPS.. Looks like I’ve got more problems ahead.

Please keep us informed, regardless if the Bluetooth GPS fails or not..
By the way: I read a review of the new Toshiba E800 PDA (which has a 480x640 screen :shock: and beautiful indigo color (finally something else)) and the author mentioned testing the PDA with a Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receiver.
At first, he had difficulties connecting the Toshiba and the Rikaline, but managed to solve it by setting TomTom to 'Bluetooth Card' instead of 'COM6'.....
Might be worth a try :?:
Take care :!:

There is no 'Bluetooth Card' setting on Navigator 2.
I still can't get it to work.
Help!

:roll: I guess it has to do with the Bluetooth Manager of the Toshiba then...
Nothing left but wait for Tom Tom updates and more MDA2 Bluetooth profiles

Somebody101, will you try something, install maps to main memory and see if that works, I know you can only install a portion but I would be interested to hear the results.

WM5 on MDA - Speed/Compatibility Question

Hi out there.
I read a lot about updates to WM5 for the Himalaya, but I found almost nothing about speed, compatibility etc. As I made an official (!!!) update for my hx4700 which turned out to render the device almost useless because of some serious speed issues (cleanup process took too much time, the device became slow, so navigation was annoying - it sometimes told me about 100 meters AFTER the junction what to do!), I would like to ask the following questions before trying to upgrade my MDAII:
1. My main reason for thinking about an upgrade is bluetooth. Does bluetooth work more stable with a headset, GPS receiver and Active Sync? Especially the head set causes problems with WM2003.
2. What about speed compared to WM2003? This would be an essential question for using the MDAII as a navigation tool. I am currently using Destinator 6 with GNS TMC receiver (serial port) or Royaltek RTG1001 (bluetooth). Does this work with WM5 as it is my most important application?
3. The HP became a little unstable. What about the MDAII (power switch, memory clean up / flash reorganisation etc)? The flash reorganisation sometimes froze the hp for almost a minute (nice when getting a phone call or using the device for navigation). Any experience here?
4. What about the german language pack for WM5 nocert? Does that work or is it possible to get a german WM5 somewhere - I read the thread but there seems to be no answer on where to get it from. I just got my MDAII from a friend and was to late for downloading it before M$ made xda developers remove all the rom files. Any help or any idea?
I hope this is not too much for now. Thanks for reading this and I hope there will be some answers as well.
Best regards,
Uwe

TomTom 6 with the SP5m?

Anyone know if TomTom 6 will work with the SP5m(Tornado)? If not, can anyone recommend a good GPS program for this phone?
Thanks

tomtom is a gps program?
you need a gps reciver, preferably bluetooth.. it works yes. but you'll need fake cursor or a program like that.
i prefer tomtom 5. its a lot eaiser on the tornado.
not for long though because i just bought the touch dual, wooohoo.

Ya, maybe I will get version 5 too. When you say easier on the tornado, i guess you mean on the system resources? Also, why would I need a fake cursor? What is it?
Btw, congrats on the new phone! Very nice

tomtom 6 doesnt support the smartphone, only pda, i think.. but it still works... to change the settings in tomtom and enter destinations etc, you need a cursor like a pda or touch screen. so if you get a cursor thats controllable by the tornado joystick it will work..
tomtom 5 supports the smartphone and you can just use the buttons, so thats why its easier..
heres an old thread about tomtom on the tornado http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318489&highlight=tornado+tomtom

Which tomtom on WM6.1?

Hello,
I have installed WM6.1.
I would like to install tomtom on this tornado phone, but which tomtom I should download?
How to install it?
Thanks
Eric

I Have Tt5 Working Ok.

Navigator 7 is fine
I am currently using TomTom Navigator 7 (with the FakeCursor) and it workk great ;-)

Th.

Hi.
Just installed TTN 7.915 (9196) qvga blue (for pda) and it's working perfectly on my Tornado (spv C600) with WM5.1! Installed last map (v835) too.
The only issue is that the screen is turning OFF after 1 min (my timing setting to turn OFF when on batt power).

Anyone got Bluepower working on HD2

I had a great little app on my Touch Diamond that enabled Bluetooth whenever it was on external power (great for linking to the car bluetooth headset). However, it doesn't seem to work on the HD2.
Having searched the forum, I found this update:
http://www.kixass.net/bluepower/
but again, it doesn't seem to work on the HD2.
I know I can create a front screen button to turn on bluetooth, but I will forget to turn it off when I leave the car, and drain the battery (senility )
Anyone help ?

did you install .net cf 3.5 on your hd2??

One of the first things I did !

Interesting app... did you change the settings to ensure that your HD2 uses net cf3.5 at all times? I remember that there were some registry settings that needed to be made to make sure it does not revert back to 2.0 even after installing 3.5

Thanks for the suggestions mouki and eskasi.
Used netcfcfg to ensure 3.5 is used by default (and overidden for the application), but still no joy.

I tried this on a Topaz running a Leo based ROM... no joy too... I suspect its because of WM6.5.... Was your Diamond running a WM6.5 ROM or 6.1?

It was 6.1. I did upgrade to 6.5 when I was messing about with it, but didn't test this app, before I reverted to 6.1.
Maybe Kixass, or some more competent techie than me is lurking, and will see this post, and amend bluepower for 6.5

Maybe it's because the HD2 uses the broadcom Bluetooth Stack, like the Touch Pro2 does, and apparently it's not a proper implementation compared to the original MS Bluetooth drivers and therefore some bluetooth apps break (like BlueInput.. -_-). I think the Topaz and the Blackstone don't use broadcom and so it isn't broken.

are there other solutions to this? I would also like to have the bluetooth on when the phone is on power...
