Hi guys,
I have some questions about TG01. I just have bought one TG01 with orange ch. They said me TG01 have GPS and A Gps modules. Before, I had nokia navigator 6710 and I could use its navigation option in offline and it could connect to satellite easily. There are no data transfer and no internet connection so no price.
But now I cant menage to use its gps options in offline mode. In TG01 box, there is a storage card and some codes on it. How can I use it and I want to use TomTom or Garmin or iGO in offline mode. Can I use?
Please explain this questions smoothly because I'm a newbe on this pda. And I dont know any pda language
Thanks a lot.
Tom Tom Navigator is usable with no connection charge depends if you are subscribe to their traffic option or not.
Orange one needs data plan option.
another related question:
Does someone know about german providers blocking com7 port in their branding (to force you to use agps)? I cannot establish any connection to my external gps mouse

if you are useing tomtom you need a program call GPSPLEX if you need it i have it just message cos i can't rem the website

has anyone in Australia got Copilot GPS bluetooth version to sucessfully work with their XDAII.
I can get mine to bond but not to pick up the GPS signal when in the copilot program. Any clues? ideas?
I have the latest ROM 1.60.00WWE and Radio 1.08.00
Cheers,
xda or xdaII
same problem with xda and cable GPS receiver, XDA will not recognise or open the com port for the receiver. No joy yet from Co-pilot tech support.

Guess I'm about to find out..
:? I just ordered Co-pilot for delivery monday. I have latest XDA Asia rom, also BT tools package loaded, and generally find most port openings and applications flakey. Apps crash, no GPS info displayed or satellite histograms. Monitor untilities go for a while and stop or crash.
I have used Navigator for a while from Magellan fails on BT, works on Com1 with wired GPS, but wanted to switch to co-pilot for much greater functionality.
I have Holux GR-230 GPS which canbe wired or BT, and a home buily GPS receiver based on a motorola module which has RS-232 conversion to connect to XDA-II via serial cable to com 1. This worked with NAvigator, Holux is problematic with Navigator.
Will advise here how I go..
Using Copilot with XDA II
I have been using Copilot version 4.0. You would need to install Tobias excellent utility which allows you to create a virtual serial port. You can download it from http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html.
Install this utlity and it will allow you to open a serial com port from within the Copilot program. Copilot is quite cool! I use it to navigate my way around Sydney.
Hope this helps.

Grout, dont forget to disable IR beams rx settings for wired
Thanks raykan, I'm in the same position as you so should be ok when I get co-pilot.
As per the title, Grout if you have a wired GPS, you need to disable the XDA-II IR Beam tick box as it somehow shares resources with the hardware serial com port 1 and applications that try to open com port one fail to open the port.
I have had most success with wired GPS on COm port 1.
CHeers,
Success so far..
Well, I can't be an expert after one day, but for those wanting to know about XDA-II and Travroute Co-pilot Australian version here are a few things that may help...
1. It's more than 10 tims better functionality and reliability than the previous package I had from Magellan Perth call Navigator.
2. Very configurablem but I installed the SD card and right away the software installed itself from the card and I was running 5 minutes later. Definately a QUICKSTART. The CD allows you to recreate the card, install via activesync, and install on the PC desktop.
3. Works with my Holux GR-230 BT GPS (I use the excellent BT tools) on COM7. Also works on COM1 with my home made GPS via serial port.
4. The manual says the internet live function is extra cost, but it works fine. The desktop version can communicate via internet to the mobile via GPRS and show the location on a map for tracking, also you can send messages to the mobile including redirecting its route/destination and the mobile can accept or not. VERY GOOD.
5. Not sure of home much GPRS traffic is used as my GPRS cost tracking software does not register it in the reports. COuld be a setup problem.
6. I'm VERY impressed so far. Tracking with GPRS is very good.
No doubt I'll find more + or - but if you wonder if it works on XDA-II currend 1.6 WWE edition the answer is yes!
Cheers

hi
you must name the gps "OTHER BLUETOOTH GPS"
when you sync it with the phone
it will work well with tomtom and other soft
I don,t know with tomtom but with Efficasoft GPS Utilities you must check in Menu->GPS Setup->AutoSearch Bluetooth GPS reciver, and see if there is your device, or choose manual your device.
After that don't forget to go to Menu->Start GPS

Good morning I have a probleme with Garmin XT and my HTC VOX it connect has my GPS but rest blocked on research satellite
install this cab and then try
View attachment enablegps.CAB
it has few registry tweaks enabling gps connection
this will help you connect
his step always not
I think your GPS programs might have been "fighting" for the GPS data or that it had bad epheremis data. It is recommended that with WM 6.1 and above to have the GPS "managed" by the system.
You do this by going from the Start Menu to Settings to System and select External GPS. Then you want to select the Port your programs will use to obtain GPS data. Normally the four lower ones were commonly used by most computer systems which is why I recommend selecting COM9 as the port.
On the Hardware tab, you need to identify which Port your GPS is on. I used GPSToggle, which is a Today plug-in, to start and warm up my GPS. You can read about GPSToggle here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gps-toggle.html.
Download the CAB file which I recommend installing to your device internal memory. Then go to your Today screen and then to Settings menu followed by Today. On the Items check the box next to BAF GPS Toggle. Click okay and this will place GPSToggle on your Today screen.
Unfortunately most smartphones do not have dedicated GPS chips because they eat battery power. On a dedicated receiver like a Personal Navigation Assistant (handheld GPS aka PNA), the GPS is turned on automatically when the PNA is powered up. Depending upon when your GPS was last activated, a dedicated SIRF chip can go from cold-start to 3D fix in as little as 42 seconds and as long as three minutes if epheremis data is present and the GPS has not been moved more than 10 miles from its last power up.
For most smartphone users, the last time your GPS was fired up was when it was built in China or wherever. The GPS can retain that information as its old epheremis data which is used to communicate with satellites. If the data is bad and old, it can take much longer for your GPS to lock-on and get a 3D fix.
For this reason, it is recommended that on smartphones that a GPS utility like the ones mentioned above be used. In essence, the smartphone's GPS must be "warmed up" from a cold start state to warm state where it is communicating with satellites in resolving a 2D fix ultimately to hot state where 3D fixing is available.
GPSToggle on your Today screen will "warm up the GPS" for you when you turn it. You will then see bars indicating the number of satellites the GPS has found. Once it syncs with them, the bar will go solid. When four bars go solid, 3D fixing is available. At that point you could turn on your satnav program and should be good to go.
If you see the altitude and nothing else comes in then the BT connection is obviously ok, so pairing, establishing the connection via COM port and the program using the connection seems ok.
Your problem then is the GPS receiver not sending the data required.
Find a program that resets the GPS receiver, if you can remove the battery put it out for half a minute and reinsert it. Once the GPS has a satelite fix again it should deliver all data.
A good free powerful utility is SirfTech - obviously only useful if your BT Mouse has a SIRF chipset.

Hello, was enablegps.cab developed here on xda? If so, is there a thread on it?
Have just got my TP on Vodafone UK, it does not have GPS enabled, is there any way I can enable it
What do you mean? There is no GPS in Start -> Settings?
Anyway try this "must have" tool from schaps so you can manage a lot of settings, GPS included.
NO GPS

IF I load TomTom 6, it can not fin the internal GPS, I can connect to an external GPS via Bluetooth
Sounds to me like you've got the version of tomtom that doesn't have the option of choosing the internal GPS.
Download GPSTest to see whether the GPS is automatically detected.
can i suggest u try gps test n see what that does
also try it with google maps
i think this might be a handset fault tho cant see why it would be disabled as its a selling point
Im 99% sure that TT6 doesnt support internal GPS modules, had the same problem with my N95....or come to think of it was that TT5? Hmmmm im not so sure now lol...
TT6 worked fine on my MDAC3 with internal GPS.
Funnily enough, the Voda specs page makes no mention of GPS at all

have you tried Other NMEA GPS-reciever, baudrate 4800, COM4 already?
NO GPS
Your right vodafone does not show GPS
Have tried it with Google Maps and will try it with GPStest this evening.
Spoke to Vodafone are going to send another handset
have also tried Other NMEA GPS-reciever, baudrate 4800, COM4
I have a Vodafone handset and thought the same as you.
It does have a GPS and it does work with TOMTOM 6.
1. Go to programs and slect quickgps and download.
Then go into tomtom and under showgps satus select configure and choose other NMEA GPS, slect baud rate 57600 and then load a destination.
Make sure you are outside tho and it might take 25 mins to get your first ever fix.
Mine connects within seconds now.
Good luck and let me know if I can help you further.
Could someone post the link to the Tom Tom 6 or 7 cab file for the Touch Pro?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil

The traffic subscription is registered to your account, therefore it will work on version 6 or version 7. However, your maps (6.75?) will not work with tomtom 7, but you can purchase new maps from tomtom home as the touch pro is now recognised by the tomtom home application (version 2.4 or above)

I'm also facing a similar problem. Google Maps is unable to detect the internal gps receiver.
When I run, GPS Test, it just shows the GPS starting up message (with 2 yellow bars, sometimes only one). I have run quick gps and downloaded the satellite data twice already.
Can somebody please help me?
Strange things.
My Touch Cruise with TomTom 7.910 (9185) connects with gprs when I start TomTom.
Why is that? Can't I dissable this? I'm going abroad, and the gprs-connection costs too much in roaming...
tnx!
Where did you got this version 7.910 (9185) of Tomtom ?
I am interrested in a .CAB so I w'll test it and reply.
Thanks
its connecting to update such things as tomtom traffic and whatnot.... i believe that there is an option in there somewhere to turn it off
With my TTv7.490, I have the same (GPRS connection) when I enable "Assisted GPS" in Advanced Configuration v3.2 tool from Julien Shapman.
Just disable this option.
tnx! this could it be, the advanced configuration.
I downloaded the cab from this forum. The rip from the diamond
Quote:
Assisted GPS, generally abbreviated as A-GPS, enhances the startup performance of a GPS satellite-based positioning system by using network (cell) data.
Therefore it needs connection via standard data transfer (GPRS or other) to retrieve cell information.
Don't know about TomTom, but iGO has problems working when A-GPS is enabled.
hi, there is it possible to use my cruise Pda as Gps reciever for my notebook with IGO8 on it.
I search for answer but found nothing so sorry if this was asked before !!!
Yes it should be possible with GPS2Blu , I've used it to send GPS data from my Orbit2 to VisualGPS on my laptop.
Of course your lappy has to have Bluetooth for this to work
