Hi,
I've upgraded the TomTom software and TomTom maps on my Treo to version 7. The problem I have no is that when I configure the GPS reciever in TomTom I no longer have the "Palm GPS" option I had in the TomTom6 version which was shipped with my Treo. Can anyone advise me of how to configure my Treo/TomTom7 to communicate with the GPS reciever. I can pair with the device fine with no problems.
Thanks.

I have bought a Falcom Navi 1 BT GPS receiver to use with my xda2 (O2 rom 1.72.187) and Destinator 3. I have also downloaded the Dell axim bt patch and have set it to COM 0. When opening the Destinator sometimes the GPS is found, but most of the times it is not! The receiver is correctly set in the Destinator program at com 0. Anyone had this sort of problems before?
BTW, I have also tried the old Bluetooth tools as well with no result.
please help.
GPS Gate
Hi I have experienced the same problems with Falcom Navi 1 BT GPS and HandyMap 2004. My solution was GPSGate from www.franson.biz
Hope this helps

Kind regards
GPSGate didn't work either. Also tried the pocket bluetooth tools, but this sets the bt gps at com7 which Destinator does not see. Any more ideas guys?
I can strongly reccomend upgrading to WM2005 it works like a charm
Just recently purchased an Imate SP5 and TT5 Mobile. Both work really well with the Tomtom GPS unit.
I also have a Syson Sirf III unit, and I cannot manage to make it work with TT5. I've tried selecting "other Bluetooth GPS" in Tomtom settings with no luck at all.
Can anybody please help me???
Why don't you want to use the Tomtom GPS?
Don't use Other Bluetooth...
I assume that you know what COM port your GPS is accessible on, and what the speed is (presumably 38400). Use the Serial NMEA selection and then set the appropriate baud rate and choose the port. That usually works more reliably.
Hope this helps!
It's not that I don't want to use tomtom's GPS. I have two cars and I want to have a GPS installed in each car to the cigarrete lighter, so that I don't have to take the GPS unit with me every time (most of the time I forget).
As to NMEA selection, the Tomtom5 version for smartphone only lets you choose Tomtom GPS receive or Other GPS receiver. Period. No "other NMEA GPS" and then select the baud rate like in the PocketPC version.
I think that you can only use one GPS in your mobil phone, cause the first one you have paired is using the incoming com port, and the second one can´t reach that port becouse it is asociated with the first one.
I can´t use 2 identical GPS units in my C500. Only the first one that i have paired works.
..but maybe there is a solution for this.
I have upgraded my MDA pro to ROM Ranju 7.4
I'm trying to use the PPC for navigation purposes and other.
I'm using a BT GPS, ADAPT 300.
I'm able to pair the GPS to the PPC via BT. Application GpsGate also shows connection and also "GPS location" "Running OK!"
Application Navigon doesn't run smoothly, constant "out of memory". But will pickup the BT GPS, which also shows that the GPS works.
Igo doesn't run smoothly either, same error "out of memory".
Tom Tom 6 CAN NOT pickup the BT GPS, my final hope is to get TT6 running correctly.
Has anybody encountered this problem.
If YES, please advice.
Best regards

Hello,
I have just received my new bluetooth GPS / TMC "mouse" receiver, the GNS5870 and I'm trying to use it over a BT connection with my IGO8 software. The GPS signal is super, but when I try to activate the TMC, Igo will not detect any "TMC hardware"... What I'm doing wrong?
I have to mention that I make the tests on my pda (a Dell Axim X30i) for the moment and if everything is ok, I will test it on my Kaiser also.
Thanks in advance for your answers and wish you a very Happy New Year!
