theres anyone who use this software?? it's simple to install??
thank you
Hi,
I use Route 66, very good software.
You can try Sygic McGuider, it's a new app, and seems to be a good alternative.
If you want TomTom, you can, with fakecursor (cursor emulator).
Bye.
can you suggest a good reciver that is not that expensive?
I took a Blumax receiver... cheap and it works with Route 66.
Route 66 will sometimes disconnect from the receiver while calculating the route, I just reset the receiver (takes all of 5 seconds) and it works again.

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
I have an XDA 11i on pay as you go - could I use it for finding where I am at any given time (ie when I am lost !) - not for directions as I go.
If you buy a GPS receiver you can connect it to the XDA.
It does not have GPS built in.
would it work if I loaded software such as TomTom ?
TomTom only provides route mapping software.
In order to use TomTom you still need the GPS hardware.
A seperate GPS receiver is required no matter what software is on the XDA, the phone needs a seperate receiver to see the GPS signal, and cannot pick this up itself.
Thanks for your help and patience .
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'd like to run GPS mapping software with driving directions on my 2125. I'm currently running WM5, but am considering flashing it to WM6.
I have used TomTom and iGuidance on Pocket PC (WM6 Pro) phones and that is the type of software I'm looking for.
I have a Bluetooth GPS and a 2 GB memory card to hold maps. I just need to know what software works well on this device. I'd hate to spend $150 for some software that doesn't work correctly on this phone.
Is there a version of TomTom that runs on WM6 Standard and works with the 240x320 screen of the 2125?
I use TomTom 5.2 with WM6 and it works perfectly, I here some users are using 6 with a patch that allows you to use fake cursor because TomTom 6 is touch screen only.
Hope that helps.
I use BT GPS too (Holux Slim236) with Windows Live Search. It has its flaws but, works fine for what I use it. Flaws: 1. Image doesn't rotate as you turn. 2. No audible voice alerts(turn left, right, etc), just a beep beep when aproching. 3. Requires you to be connected to internet to update maps. Other than that, I feel its a great companion to have installed on phone, even for reference only. Never know when you'll need it.
I use Route66.
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!
Conrad
