Hi
Does anyone have any idea how to connect a blutooth GPS device to an XDA EXEC running tomtom5? I can connect easily using the genuine tomtom bluetooth receiver however no such joy using any other type bluetooth receiver.
I have been able to pair both the PBT-111 and another bluetooth receiver, but I am only allowed to connect to comm ports 4 or 8 in the connection manager. These selections are not available when I go to the 'configure' option for the receiver within tomtom
Any ideas most welcome
Hi Mick did you have any joy with your connection to the xda exec.
bt and tomtom
if you install bt reciever in tt5,go to other wired recievers and choose the right port number. then it should work.
succes
This helped me when I set mine up.

I have used a Fortuna GPSmart bluetooth gps with xda2, I bought an optional cable which powers the xda2 and the gps and also allows data connection to xda or xda2, it needs to be set to Tomtom gps, nmea 38400 and Com 1, beams must be switched off in settings/connections/beams. I also have a Holux GR-230 bluetooth gps, I tried the cable from the Fortuna, with the same settings and it also works perfectly as a wired gps while charging both xda/xda2 and gps. This may be of interest to somebody.
Help
Hi. I have also just purchased the cable and being really stupid l Can't get it to work. Where do I change the settings you mentioned? thanks.
Go to the "gps" section of tomtom, choose nmea 38400 and com 1.
Y-(Data/Power)-cable XDA to GPSmart were to buy in EU

Ok this might sound a bit dumb to you guys but I'm having a little situation here.
I got tomtom 5.1 and just got the glabalsat bt338 receiver.
I have paired the device with my xda as I have paired a nokia BT headset.
When I switch on the nokia headset and bluetooth, the pda and headset establish a connection automatically.
I would like to do the same for the bt338. As soon as the bluetooth is on, it should establish a connection.
I am not able to do this. I have to click on the bluetooth manager, double click the bt338 for it to establish the connection. Then I have to exit bt manager and turn on tom tom. Still tomtom does not detect the GPS receiver until I click on the GPS device settings and select OTHER BT RECEIVER and then select Blutooth receiver on COM5.
Only then does the GPS show any life.
I would like to know how to get the BT338 to work by just turning on TOMTOM.
It should authenticate and establish the connection on its own, and by the time its up, i should be able to input a destination.
Confusing? No?
easy there mate, give it time....once you have the BT338 paired with your handset, switch everything off.
then 1st switch on your BT338, then switch on your PDA...start up TomTom and leave it for at least 1 minute...it should switch on Bluetooth automatically and connect to the BT338, i had this issue and the 5.1 update solved it...let us know if successful.
:?: I'm having problems getting TomTom5 to work with my Bluetooth GPS receiver. The seriel pot of the GPS can only be set to com port 5 or 6 - and those ports are not available in TomTom. I assume that some ports are in use by other applications - but how can I find/remove them ? Anyone know how to see the assigned ports in windows mobile 5 :?:

Hi,
I was wondering whether TomTom software for a Nokia would work on an XDA IIs?
And does the XDA IIs have a gps reciever in built?
Kind Regards

nokia tomtom software wont work on xda IIs, different Operating system and no the xdaIIs does not have gps built in you need a seperate gps receiver
The BA is very capable of running TTN6 if accompanied with an external GPS receiver - Bluetooth is best although cabled versions of the GPS are available, should you decide to use a cabled solution please remember to disbale the "Receive all incomming beams" from the IRdA settings as this releases the comm port for correct communications - Mike
Hi guys, I have the following question:
I am planning to buy e bluetooth GPS receiver for my Prophet. In my car, however, I have a bluetooth hands-free system installed. So my question is, will it be possible to have both the GPS receiver and the hands-free system connected to my phone at the same time?
Thanx,
Boyan
Seriously, no one has tried this before? I suppose it should be working, but I really don't want to spend the money on a GPS receiver and not be able to use it simultaneously with my car kit...
hello there blazarov,
it will work, and yes many have already got this up and working.
Search for SIG or Piconet or simple Bluetooth on say Google
and it will get clear to you.
I have experienced i have to let Tom Tom activate bluetooth
and then my Rikaline GPS receiver and my Parrott carkit work.
In this order it goes well.
When bluetooth activated and connected to my Parrott carkit and then activating TomTom it can't find/connect to my Rikaline GPS receiver.
btw i use Qtek S200 ( = HTC Prophet)
