Has anyone have any successful experiance with iGO8 using TMC on a PDA?
In short- I have a GNS trafficbox TMC reciever. I have iGO8 R3 and I ahve a P3600 (trinity) phone. The phone has WM6.1 operating system..
Trying to config it to be able to identify the hardware (it is physically connected to the mini USB on the phone there are 3 variables. TMC protocol (I assume GNS) , COM port, and baud rate.
I have tried any combination possible (including all auto) and get one result- 'NO TMC hardware found'
Does anyone knows how it can be configured? Another 'rumor' I read on the forum is iGO8 8.3.x does not have a working TMC at all, and that 8.0.x recognize the hardware but nothing further.
I know it is more an 'iGO' question than XDA, but it is related, and this forum is the only forum I know with responsive people and knowledge.
Thanks in advance

I've emailed NavNGO Israel about this as i wanted to use a special positioning system for a friend who's in the military.. unfortunatly, I would have to tell you that unless someone found an unformal solution which I don't know about, you will have to give it up.
you can use a TMC with bluetooth tho... http://www.gns-gmbh.com/index.php?id=72&L=1

As can be seem above, im having mucho trouble pairing successfully with my XDA2s (Win Mobile second 2003 edition ver 4.21.1088 (build 14132)
(The receiver is fine as I have paired it with other devices) It picks it up in the wizard on the xda but with a question mark against it and when I try to go to the next stage it keeps saying service discovery was unsuccessful
Any ideas?
let the receiver drain totoally then the recharge it fully an try again
as a metter of interest what makes u think that will work? It wont work even with the power supply plugged into it?
Could it not be the software on the xda2s as it wouldnt work on my friends identical model either.
I did have a rikaline 6031 x7 which worked no problem on the xda2s though
Strange and stranger
It might work because: By draining the GPS, it resets to factory defaults.
This is the only way ie. to get a Holux GR-230 / DConnex DC-230 come back to live when you acidentally messed with baudrate & protocol at the same time (on some GPS Rom versions that is).
Nope, that didnt work either, its still showing on the xda as having a problem
Just a thought but have you enabled the Receive all Beams function under the connection tab ? :?:
disabling the "receive all incoming beams" is only applicable when using COM1 (ie via a wired GPS).
BT GPS's mostly (standard anyway in ROM 1.72) connect via COM5 (the outbound port).
Also: try the Blue Angel (the XDA2s is a Blue Angel right?) forum
Make sure you download the latest GPs driver for the XDA series from the tomtom website. Worked for me.
Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there will be kind enough to help and solve this problem before I rip all my hair out!!!
I've installed tomtom (V5.00) on my mda pro, but I can't get it to recognise my bluetooth gps receiver.
I've set up a bluetooth partnership with an outgoing COM port. My MDA allows me to choose COM0 ,COM4,COM8
When I select other Bluetooth device from Tom Tom configuration, it gives me the options:
QCT Data Interface
Serial Cable on COM1
COM7
RIL on COM6
Infrared Port
Ir on COM3
I can't seem to align the software and the bluetooth to get it working correctly. Please help
Update your application to at least version 5,21 to get this working, have a look at http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&FID=3361 for the software - Mike
Apart from the 5.21 and above (current is 6.03) software requirement, many users also have to set a COM port your MDA offers you (i.e. COM0) manually in the navigator.cfg (or was it .dat, don´t remember,try) file where the COM is stored that TT is using. Just change to navigator.txt, edit and change back to .cfg Good luck.
Hi Guys,
I've used a search but can't find anything related to my current problem. I upgraded my Tytn to WM6 and reloaded Tomtom but it doesn't connect to the GPS. I'm sure it's about coms ports but I haven't sussed it out yet, anyone know the settings? Also, any links to a user guide / explanation of the GPS manager in WM6 would be useful too.
Incidentally, I had to force Tomtom onto my Tytn with MW5 because the nice, unhelpful people at Tomtom simply stated it doesn't work with that model. It does, you just have to load the cabs to the storage card and run them from there whilst manually copying the voices to the device Tomtom folder. It worked fine though....
What gps receiver do you have?
Hi guys,
Recently I bought Imate 8502. Everything works fine. I have installed tomtom 6.01 for wm6 (which works fine on my other htc p3600i)
Now problem in in Imate 8502 when i go in to the settings>External GPS>Hardware... it shows me "gps Hardware port "(none)". If I select any port and press ok and open it again, again it shows "(none)" in gps hardware port. So whts wrong with that.
Also tomtom is not working in Imate 8502. in tomtom software setting doesn't show gps port.(like in htc p3600i gps settings shows that gps in com9). I tried too much to solve this problem but got failure and failure. So I am asking help from any expert here.
Please help me.. I want to run GPS software in Imate 8502
Thanks in advance
1. u need to turn on gps manually
2. u need GPSgate
Thanks
Thanks netnerd,
well i turned it on manually as well but same things happens ?
by the way how does gpsgate will help in this problem? I have no idea of this software.. Though i have downloaded demo but I am not getting this software
thanks bro !!
waiting for your reply
tomtom cant see your build-in gps port
GPSgate will make a virtual gps comm port that gps programs able to see
Need Some knowledge
Dear Chintak i also have an 8502 but still serching for upgrade as u said u upgraded it with tomtom it realy works and how is the procedure to upgrade
will appriciate help .
hi ayesha,
I didn't upgraded anything in imate, I just installed tomtom for ppc.
but tomtom can't read gps port so m looking for another option
OK - hope this helps some....
I have the I-mate 8502, and TomTom 6 running fine.
Things I did:
- Installed TomTom...
- Went to Wireless Manager and enabled GPS. These are my GPS settings by tab (can get to them via Wireless Manager):
>Programs: GPS program port - COM9 (default setting
>Hardware: No GPS port specifed (not needed) and baud rate 4800 (again not needed) - these are default settings
>Access: Manage GPS automatically is checked (again default)
The only setup in TomTom was to set the GPS device to the IMEA option.
TomTom should see the device, but display a message that no gps satellites found or it searching. It usually takes a couple of minutes for the GPS to pass through satellite information to TomTom first time but it then works great.
Running the Telstra WM6 Rom
I followed Rathalian's instructions and it worked perfectly for me too.
I did have to select COM9 as the COM Port of the GPS device in Tom Tom Configuration.
I am also using a Telstra WM6 ROM.
Thanks everybody its working now thank you very much everyone
i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?
Good afternoon, folks
I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.
As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking:
is anybody willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.
Warm regards,
Manuel
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
