xda2i and bluetooth gps

I have a globalsat bt318 bluetooth gps.It will connect to the xda2i but the bluetooth manager only records an outgoing connection with no incoming .The software that comes with the gps has a com port scan device nad selects com 1 , although I have tried all of them.The software also suggested using baud rate 38400 , although i have tried all of the rates.I've tried everything it seems burt can not get any bluetooth input to the xda21.Any ideas?

i have a XDA2i bluetooth 1.0.3900 and i Use TOMTOM witha Ledtek BT reciever. This works well it has a connection on Bluetooth com port 6

Likewise...TomTom Wireless BT GPS (that grey one) and 1.0.3900 XDA2i...works through port 6 without any problems whatsoever...it's the one part of the BT stack that HASN'T p*ssed me off!!

Mpatterson, if com 1 is indeed being allocated, you will need to go to settings/connections and make sure the "beams" box is unchecked, also any external keyboard driver, if present will need disabling. When bonding the bluetooth gps you should be asked if you wish to use the serial profile, you should accept this, it should then allocate com5 and com6 for inbound/outbound.

XDAIIi & Bluetooth GPS Serial Port Dropout.

Hi
I am wondering if anyone has seen this problem. I had tom tom nav 3 with bluetooth gps using Fortuna GPS Clip On. When i upgraded to an XDAIIi i have found that the serial port connection drops after about 10 mins of use using tom tom, any fixes going around?
Also i noticed on here someone was having problems setting the baud rate on the New version of Tom Tom Nav 5, to set this in GPS Settings select Other Cable NMEA GPS, select your baud rate and then select your com port. (Noticed that the dropout still happens on new version of Tom Tom which i upgraded to yesterday)
Cheers

TomTom Mobile 5 & Imate SP5

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.

xda exec/tomtom/fuzion

Like many others I am having considerable trouble getting my exec to work with a fuzion gps receiver and tomtom navigator 5.
Although BT GPS appears in the bluetooth devices it still shows 'no gps device' when I go into tomtom.
What am I doing wrong?

have u setup the outgoing bluetooth serial port on the universal, and told tomtom to use that same serial port?

I have set the outgoing port as COM0.
How do I tell tomtom to use the same serial port?
I must be a bit dense!

change preferences->show GPS status->configure->page across to "Other bluetooth device"->select->continue->Com0

Thanks a lot.
It now works like a dream.
I had been following the instructions from the supplier that said link to 'Other Cable NMEA GPS' even though I was using a GPS receiver.

Help...to link Holux bluetooth GPS receiver to Universal.

I beg your pardon if I post this thread at the wrong place. I have paired up the Holux bluetooth receiver with my Universal. I can't this GPS receiver work with the MapKing 2007 program. Under the external GPS setting what program port should I use as the Holux bluetooth receiver show serial port when paired. Thanks for any kind soul that can shed some light on this.

You need to create a COM port in Bluetooth settings for Holux first, then set it in your GPS program.
Don't touch the "External GPS" settings, the WM's program port is extremely buggy. If you want to launch many GPS applications at once use GPSGate

I can only create a com0 port in my Holux BT reciever but under my GPS program there is no com0 and only available from com 1-9.

I managed to get it working. Thanks a lot.
