Greetings all!
I have become the owner of an XDA Orbit and have not taken the kind people at O2 up on their offer of navigation software, but am using my existing TTN 5 software. It has installed perfectly and it works excellently on the external BT GPS, but I need to know how to get it to work through the built-in GPS.
Does anyone have any instructions and port settings to get the TTN5 to speak to the on-board GPS receiver?
All help gratefully received.........

Thanks Mike, it works a treat (even better than my Leadtek BT GPS). I 'm sure it wouldn't have hurt O2 to put that in the manual.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Guys,
Just changed to the XDA2s from the XDA2, and i've got real problems getting my TomTom GPS to work. All set up fine on the standard 2, but it just won't work with the XDA2s. Does anyone know how to get it linked!!
Cheers
James
I don't know if this'll help so sorry if this isn't relevant, but I'm using a Navman GPS with the Tom Tom software, which although is different hardware does work ok.
I just have mine set to: "TomTom Wireless GPS" and in the second box "Bluetooth Serial Port 6". The first time you try to connect it asks which Bluetooth device to link com 6 to and after that I work just fine.
Hope that helps somehow!
Cheers, that worked perfectly!
Hello,
I was planning to buy the HTC P3300 one of the main reasons is the build in GPS (which I want to use in my car). Is the build in GPS good enough to use in a car? I start having doubts when I saw a package offered with a external gps as well?
Thanks in advance,
Luigi
Of course it is usable in car. I had the p3300 gps (now the p3600 trinity gps). both devices have very good signal. So no external gps recommended.

Yep, works totally great. The Orbit has a very good GPS receiver, v. good at receiving signals, and the units volume level make it equally good for hearing the voices. I've used prevoius PDA's with an external GPS, but the Orbit does just as good, without all the hassle of extra leads.

Can anyone help me?? i have got the Artemis since 4 weeks, TomTom was pre-installed and worked actually, but couldn't find some maps for it. Therefore I removed the app and installed iGo 2006 and some other GPS apps. Now I cannot find TomTom and all the other apps throwing me the same "cannot find GPS receiver" message. Is there something wrong with the TomTom removing or there is some way I can tune the receiver to answer for the other apps.
Thanks in advance

In tomtom you have to select the Internal GPS receiver.
serch for settings in the other apps where you can select the GPS receiver.
It is connected to COM4 by default.
Yes, in TomTom you must go to the menu screen, select 'Change Preferences' then select 'Show GPS Status' then select the 'Configure' tab. Once your there select look for an option for 'Built In GPS Receiver' if it is there your done, if not you need to select 'Other NMEA GPS Receiver' set the GPS Baud Rate to 4800 then select the COM Port your GPS is on, usually COM4 by default.
Hi
I have the same problem, I've checked all the settings (tomtom and device)and they're correct but still Tomtom says no gps device.
I've just hard reset my device, is there anything I need to do?
I have a xda orbit.
edit: sorted, just me being stupid (as always)
Try with this settings
Try your mobile under system settings you can find GPS icon.
Check GPS program port is COM4 and Hardware port is COM3 with baud rate 4800 selected. Access tab click Manage GPS automatically
Once these settings are same as above try with your GPS software (TOMTOM or any other) with the GPS port as COM4 selected.
Please let me know if it works
Hello,
I am wondering if AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed.rar is a GPS enabled rom. I cannot seem to connect using TomTom version 6.010. If it matters, my radio version is 1.50.08.11 and I am in the US.
TomTom Settings :
GPS receiver : Other NMEA Receiver
baud rate : 9600
GPS to com9
Thank you in advance!

But why don't ask this in the AX3L ROM Thread???
Don't you think AX3L will help you better?
Oh Yea it works!

AX3L 's AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed.rar works the GPS great! I have less than 50% memory usage before kicking off the TomTom 6. It's been the fasted operation I have seen on the Trinity.
I'm using the TomTom 6 from HTC and maps from everywhere. It's a lot more stable than WM5 and I'm seeing a lot less memory card corruption. (4gig SD from TopRam)
What you might try is VITO Navigator II v1.3 to trouble shoot the problem. This little app can auto find the GPS module in the Trinity and give a display of all viewable sat's in about 5 seconds. There is no enable or disable needed, that app will turn on the gps and start working. It can even show you the raw data stream coming down.
TomTom has too much over head to trouble shoot with.
Been playing with GPS units for 8 years now, Palm3 to Sony N70 to HP 5450 and now Trinity.
hi i got tom tom 6.0.20 for mda compact 3 from t-mobile now i have windows mobile 6.
but the gps is not working.
i have gps settings to com4 on the first tab on the second none automatic on the third tab.
and in tomtom i got internal gps selected.
please help.
greats antonius
Edit: got 1 signal now but still no connection and map only 17 is gray and standing out.
Try newer Version of TomTom. The last Version working for the Artemis is TomTom 6.032.8351. On the HTC Support Page you can find TomTom 6.032.8320 under the P3600 Section.

works for me, try 'other nmea receiver', 9600 baud rate, and com4
hope it helps
Ive used all sorts of roms including the now official Tmob uk one and never had probs. I always use tomtom 6.0.30 from HTC's website. I use an external bluetooth GPS (as its wired into the car) and also the Build in GPS all without problems.
When in doubt, get the stylus out (and had reset)
hi all is that possible i use Imate PDA2K as GPS
plz tell me any kind of help....
tnx in Adv:

Yes it is. It works with most major GPS applications, TOM TOM, Handymap etc. You just need a bluetooth GPS receiver. I use it is my primary GPS device.
of course... just buy a gps receiver, garmin should b a good brand for it as well as the software.
Yes with BT GPS receiver it works like a charm. I'm using garmin software and BT138 (4 years old). I've also tried TomTom, IGO and others but because my specific needs I'm using garmin.
