GPS Navigation with GNS 5870, but TMC not available... - General Topics

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!

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.

XDA2 + Falcom NAVI 1 GPS receiver problems in communication

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

Bluetooth Tools JAM compatibility?

I just got my JAM and the MS Stack doesn't work with my Audi MMI System BT. The PDA2K Widcomm stack 1.1 did, but not the JAM. I can partner but no functionality.
Has anyone tried using the MDA II/XDA II BT Tools that helped that devices MS BT Stack with the JAM?
I love the JAM, but the MS Stack has so little menu functions.
yes it works perfect for me ... the same functions in xda2
Having quite same problems with Nokia carkit, after pairing connection dies quickly and doesn't work. Under BT devices menu "set as hands-free" is grayed out and also using bluetooth tools doesn't make difference, the connection screen just disappears quickly when pairing so can't change profile, maybe it's due incompability...
Don't know if it's possible to change BT stack but at the moment this thing sucks...
GPS Navman 4410 on Qtek S100
Sounds like the same problem I have with my GPS-connection (Subject GPS)
Could someone post the Bluetooth Tools file? I can't find it anywhere on my system or on the web.
thanks

Thanks kha!
Tools doesn't work well on my JAM!
Hi!
I´ve tested the Pocket Bluetooth Tools as well, but it doesn´t worked on my MDA compact (German ROM). When the software was installed, the BT doesnt work anymore.
My special problem is with the Royaltek RBT 3000 and the download of the tracks to the pda. Each time i try this, the connection breaks after 200 waypoints approx. The normal use with the navigation software like TomTom works well.
Looking for a solution.

Bluetooth & TomTom Navigator 6 on acer n50 premium

Is there someone in the forum who can help me with a problem with bluetooth. I have an acer n50 premium with Windows Mobile 2003 SE and Bluetooth 1.7.0 Build 1903 by Broadcom. I have a big problem with my GPS Receiver Royaltek RBT-2010 and my ppc. I loose the connection between my ppc and my gps receiver very often. I have installed the latest Rom for my ppc and I have changed the gps receiver, but it is impossible to use TomTom Navigator 6. I tried GPSGate with a virtual port. The connection with gpsgate and the receiver is ok, but no incoming data or service unavailable. I have called the hotline of acer, but no help. Is there any possibiliy to upgrade the bluetooth driver on my acer or any other idea. Excuse me that I contact you, but I hope that you can help me. Thank you for your time.
Nobody can help me?
I think that there could be a possibility. With a old update of TomTOm GPS 3.07
Don't work. Nobody of the experts can help me?
Maybe the bluetooth receiver is too far away from your acer?

TomTom Bluetooth

Hi I was wondering if there was anything I could do about the fact that everytime I turn tomtom on the bluetooth turns on as well. It seems like a waste of battery power, considering that tomtom uses an internal GPS! Could anyone advice?
Kind Regards,
Will
BT & TomTom
Mine doesn't!
Make sure you have Other NMEA Gps and Com4 selected.
Cheers
Neil
