I have installed the new Qtek Rom 1.60.21 WWE with great hopes it would include support for Bluetooth GPS - but it does not connect - same problem as before .
Has anybody tried this Rom with Bluetooth GPS? Any luck?
The TOWA driver does not support yet LAN connection by Bluetooth, so that is not yet a viable alternative because it fixes the Bluetooth GPS problem, but it causes a new one - no longer suppots LAN Bluetooth connections.
The latest tomtom driver 2.09 fixes bluetooth with tomtom2.
Got it to work!!!
You have to first enable Com 5 output in Start Settings System Bluetooth Setting prior to searching and bonding with the Bluetooth GPS.
Tom Tom BGPS will require the 2.09 driver, but Socket BGPS does not require any driver.

I have a fortuna bluetooth gps and i have rom vrsion 1.72 on my xda2 and i cannot get it to work properly with tomtom. I allso have the latest version in tomtom gps and i have the bluetooth tools by towa can anyone please help.
When you bonded the gps did you choose "serial profile". What settings are you using in tomtom? Which fortuna gps is it, on my xda2 the gpsmart needs no bt tools and neither does the gr230.
it is fotuna clipon. it bonds ok, it asks about serial port but dose not give a port number. in tomtom i select tomtom wirless gps and bluetooth gps.
thanks
Starman:
DO NOT use BT Tools (not needed with rom 1.72)
Bond the BT GPS, say yes to create com port.
In TomTom GPS select
- NMEA xxxx Bluetooth and
- COM5 or (better!) Bluetooth GPS
- tick blue-ish box
Should work right away
Remember you only get fixes with a clear view of the sky!!
I would like to know if:
- You can tick the blue-ish box with Bluetooth GPS (instead of COM5) selected or not
- What the origin of your 1.72 ROM is: iMate, Qtek, T-Mobile beta
the rom was posted by wax hit is the himalayen rom i tryed all the thigs that you said and it is still the same.
could you be more specific?
There is no user 'wax' nor has anyone with a username like that posted a message with RUU172* in it . . .
BTW I suppose its not enough to uninstall BT Tools, to be sure its gone do a hard-reset
I have the Fortuna BTCliponGPS unit with an XDA2 but only with the 1.60.00 WWE ROM from O2.
Do EXACTLY what edsub said:
1. Go to Bluetooth Settings (in Settings) and make sure that Bluetooth Serial Port setup is enabled for both Inbound (COM4) and Outbound (COM5)
2. Delete any ClipOn-BTGPS devices showing on in your Bluetooth device list and reconnect. Don't forget that the Fortuna device uses 0000 (4x zeros) as its passkey and that you must allow it to create a COM port when it asks.
3) I presume you are using TomTom Navigator with this? Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the very latest GPS software AND the TomTom Navigator application update.
4) Stand outside in the pouring rain waiting for the blasted GPS unit to lock onto a satellite.
will this work w/ TT3.01?
Do we have to update to TomTom 3.03 + GPS 3.03, or can the Fortuna Clip & XDA II work with version 3.01 +gps 3.01?
No you dont have to update the drivers etc, but the latest version runs alot faster.
Im running an xda2 tt3 and bt fortuna clipon and bttools, ROM 1.66.00. I have NO problems at all with this configuration.

I use Dconnex DC-230 bluetooth with my XDAII ROM 1.72, and Tomtom 2.
I had to upgrade TOMtom to 2.24 and GPS to 3.03, the in tomtom i chose SIRF BT and Bluetooth GPS. and as edsub said you nedd to check the blueish box, but don't stand in the rain waiting for signal, you will get a message saying no signal found??.
BTW when bonding my GPS I opted for NO serial ports.
anybody knows how to keep the GPS bonded all the time (other than leaving it on and next to the XDA all the time)
Hi ppl,
i recently recieved a kit from Navigon, Navigon Mobile 4 with a BT GPS mouse.
I got the mouse bonded as a serial slave on com 5 & 6 and seems to be recognise by the software because i recieve at least the TMC messages.
but i got no GPS signal.
does anybody ever tryed this GPS on a qtek 9090 ?
is there a specific tool i need to install on my pda for the BT manager (options are quite poor in the BT manager)
any ideas ?
thks
Navigon needs VTG data from the GPS to work. If you have a GPS powered by a SIRF chipset it is easy : go to www.gpspassion.com and download a freeware to do the job.
i dont really know about the gps reciever furnished by navigon, there are no information about the hadware in the package, or user guide
If you have the Navigon GPS and not a non branded Navigon GPS, the issue is not the VTG...
i have the navigon BT GPS + TMC, the tmc works i recieve the signal in the software correctly, but i do not recieve any gps signal
i guess it comes from the com ports, but i really do not know how to solve that problem
i found the response, Qtek 9090 has a wildcomm BT modem so it requieres a patch available at the support page of navidon.de web site
Can anyone tell me why TT Routeplanner doesn't "see" my BT GPS?
I also have Destinator3 installed on my PPC and works perfectly with my GPS Receiver. So I assume that it is not a bluetooth connection problem.
Please, anyone?
what kind of GPS receiver do you have ?
does it support serial port profile ?
what drivers have u selected in TT GPS ?
Did you update to the latest version of TT ?
I have a BT48.
Yes, it supports SPP
No drivers were selected in TT GPS, simply because TT does not see a gps connection. I click on GPS Setup (within TT settings), but nothing happens.
TT Routeplanner doesn't have a new version. It has been replaced and it is not supported any longer.
Any suggestions?
Is the gps receiver listed in the bluetooth section of your ppc ? (settings-connections-bluetooth)
Try removing the link, then bond again using outbound Com 5 (spp)
In TT GPS manually select NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth in the upper box and
com 5 in the lower drop down box. Then tick the blue box left.
I solved the problem, which by the way was so silly that I refuse to mention it. :wink:
Thanks anyway pleum
Hi!
Is there a way to use the GPS receiver that is built into the Artemis as a GPS Device for Windows (XP or Vista).
Maybe over Bluetooth or USB / ActiveSync connection.
I tried to set up Bluetooth COM Ports so Incoming BT connections connect directly to the GPS COM port, but without success... no gps data was coming through.
Also I search for a small tool to test the receiver... just a compass or something.
regards,
Daniel
You cannot just "bridge" the GPS com port to your desktop OS via BT. The BT stack was never designed that way. All BT com ports you use must have a piece of software behind it to fill it with data, or otherwise they are just empty cans.
In your case, you need a GPS splitter to get gps signals from the GPS com port, and then repeat it to a BT com port so that the other end can receive such signal. That will provide a working bridge for your data.
Try software such as gpsgate that works as described above.
Hello, you can try GPS2Blue is a little free program that will let you use your Artemis as a GPS.
You can find it here: http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
Enjoy.
i got myself GPS2Blue and installed it.
My problem now is, that i cannot set up a BT COM port!
I have the (german) B&Bv3 ROM (WM6). In Bluetooth Settings in the "COM Ports"-Tab. It says "Tap on 'New outgoing port' ..." but theres no button or something. Just the describing text and an empty ListBox.
since I cannot set up my COM port, GPS2Blue won't swich on right?
So... is this a WM6 bug or a B&B Bug or my brain-bug
Setting up COM ports in my firmware WM5 OS worked just fine.
Thanks you guys for the info!
but what to do now?
GPSgate can do what you want (but it is not free)
gpsgate can set up bluetooth com ports? i dont think so
this is not a gps problem anymore!
i posted a new thread for my new problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315687
GPSGate can do it!!
Use this is the registration key:AmzeaBjw
Then your Artemis can pass GPS information to your PC through Bluetooth
Fransons GPS Gate will enable the sharing of GPS position to a number of different types of device, I am not too sure about posting a registration key for purchased software as these are specific to an individual user??? - Mike
Hello!
I have a car GPS Navigator which has a feature to pair with a mobile phone or PDA via bluetooth to use it as handsfree, view contacts, make calls from GPS screen ans so on. Both devices can see each other via bluetooth but the problem is that they can't pair. My BA has WM6.1 installed, I haven't any problems with bluetooth yet. May be BA does't support this functionality or it does'n have appropriate Bluetooth Profile ?
May be it would be useful to someone with similar issue. My bluetooth problem has been resolved just by installing WM6.5 ROM ! I've tried almost all versions of WM6.5 located on xda-developers and every one has the bt stack much better than WM6.1 has.
