Hello together,
I'm searching for the "egg-laying wool-milk-sow" (translated direct from German means "all singing and dancing") GPS BT receiver for my MDA VarioII. It should have the following features:
minimum SiRF-III Chipset
TMC receiver included
long battery durability
Static navigation possible
BT connection
"Navigon" compatible
I want to use it both for traffic navigation and by foot.
Has anyone a good hint?
Has anyone experience with the "GNS 5843"
Greetings Pudl
Mate i use the Holux GPSlim 236. Sirf iii, static nav option, good battery life and its good value. I use it with Tomtom and oziexplorer. Paired with a JASJAM its a great setup.
Scott
Holux GPSlim 240
The two Holux receiver sound very good, but the both don't have a TCM receiver. Do you know and BT GPS receiver with TCM?
Greetings Pudl
Ive got a HOLOX BT-321.....worth a look?
What's TCM
Sorry, I ment TMC. This means "traffic message channel". Over this channel you can receive the latest traffic news in europe. So you can see the actual traffic on the streets where you want to drive.
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel

And me... my first so called BT GPS device was a pile of crap... but since getting the Holox last year I've been a happy chap sat naving everywhere
Well recommended! look on ebay for one
You should look at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com it has all sorts of reviews and GPS forums
I use the Nokia LD-3W which is also available in the T-Mobile shop. I just bought from eBay for half the price.
Apart from TMC it has all the features. And considering the quality of traffic messages in Germany I don't miss the TMC. It works perfectly with MN6, VisualGPSce, GPSTuner and so forth. And it has a removable battery - a fact worth considering...
GPS on XDA II with BTGPS74R

I have a BTGPS74R (aka Holox BT-321). It uses up to 32 satellites and works well with TomTom 6 on my XDA II. The only annoying aspect is that I have to use the MS BT stack with my Blue Ant BT earpiece and the Broadcom BT stack with TomTom.
One day I might be able to use both simultaneously ... if someone is already doing this, I'd love to know how.
Enjoy!
The best low-cost receiver we've tested lately is the new little Qstarz S1000 datalogger / Bluetooth GPS..
See:
http://store.pressdigital.com.au/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=qstarz+gps
Really nice low power 32 channel chipset with an integrated logger .. plus some nice Google Earth utilities to plot the datalogger data..

I have used the GNS 5843 and it is very good ,especially for tmc . I used it in combination with Navigon on my trinity P3600. By the way I get more Tmc reports on P3600/ Gns 5843 than on my Navigon Ts7000!!! ........It is even better than my built in Volkswagen Navi!!!
On foot I use my P3600 without Gns 5843 as I do not need the Tmc.

As the P3600i /Dopod D810X has built in IR im curious to see how many people have tried some Remote Control software on this device.
I realise that its not CIR, but please advise any experiences.

In my experience using VITO remote control, I have to be closed enough to my unit such as TV, DVD Player in order to be able to use it. But it's ridiculous, because the max range is only 1m, I can put my hands directly to the unit.....
WinCESoft remote control 2.12 works very well and seems to give better range than most other software. The biggest problem I have with this is the stupid registration system. every time i change ROM I have to apply for a new key and this takes up to 3 days so the software basically is a waste of time for me as I flash probably once a week so if I am luck i get to use this software for a day or 2 before it becomes useless again.
I've been using Novii Deluxe Remote Control successfully, at a range of roughly 2m. I have the P3600i though, not the original Trinity. Maybe they've updated the IR unit?

Good day,
I also have tryied to use my P3600 as a remote control, but the problem is the range and, is not about the software but about the hardware. It seems that the hardware does not amplify the IR enought.
I have read this in this great forum somewhere biut can't remember where.
Best regards,
Dave
Only 1.5-2 m with Novii Remote Deluxe. The same program works great with up to 12 m with my iPaq RX3715 (which has an IR on top, BTW), so it's definately a hardware issue.
Its a combination of both software and hardware, I know that the wince software works well over about 3-4 metres but outside that range its no good, other software I have tried seemed to work out around 2 metres but by 3 metres was no good. This is on a dopod 810 btw.
I tried but the range i very poor and the position of the IR port is poor for remote control too, I gave up using it after 5 minutes...
Is there some software that can turn the InfraRed on Hermes for use as a remote control for things like TVs?
There is. Say, VITO Remote. But Hermes infrared port is really short-ranged (no more than a meter, I recall), so it's of little use.

Some iPaqs have a decent range, heck even wizard has a better range than Hermes. Anyway Hermes' IR is not meant for remote controlling the TV.
Would make an interesting project to see if the ir led could be changed or boosted for a longer range. Would love to use my hermes as remote as well
you can search in the old parts of the forum for posts by me for curcirs layout extentions for boosters for ir for pda's
it's alot of work but hardware addons always are

so why didnt you search the forums first on this topic? theres enough threads on the limited range of iRda.
Novii Remote Deluxe
My Wizard would operate the TV from the couch just fine.
No such luck on the Hermes though. It's IR port is substantially weaker then the Wizard's
the Ipaqs where designed to be used as a remote, a special IR was put in it.
Three is one other option, you can make a sound to IR adapter and "play" the ir signal from a wav file.
forgot where i read about it, but think it was from an ipod hack. gd luck

SHORT RANGED
I use Novii Remote Deluxe from http://www.novii.tv/pocketpc/ on my TyTN (Hermes) and it works just fine at about 10 meters with my TV, Hi-Fi Sat. decoder etc. etc.
My wife likes to hide the remote when the Game is on, so I use my "TyTN-Multi-Remote" quite often...

EXACTLY which version of Novii did you use and what Rom do you have installed on your Hermes?
DexterH you don't sell that software do you
which hardware and rom do you ahve?

ha-ha, No I do not sell anything, though I could do with an extra income... ( wife just LOVES shoes )
Anyway, I think I exaggerated a bit with the 10m (32feet), took the wife's measuring-tape-thingy-for-making-clothes and my couch is about 5m (16feet) from my TV etc.
Sorry about that, but it is still much further than most of the people I talked to said the Hermes can do, most people talked about less than 1m (3feet) I paid the odd $30 which is less than you would pay for a good hardware Universal Remote and you still can't carry it with you like a PocketPC.
My TyTN (Herm200) was bought new May 2007. I flashed the official WM6 ROM 3.54.255.3 from HTC (5.2.1437 build 17944.0.3.1).
The software version for Novii Remote Delux is 4.11 (build 2006.08.21a, IRv27), released in August 2006.
Sorry again for exaggerating, as you get older the percieved distance from one resting place to the next tends to get greater...
IR
Select models of discontinued HP's that included the Nevo remote software were specially designed with CIR that allows them to have better range etc. This is the same type of IR diode in your conventional remote controls. The Hermes has IRDA. Designed for short range transmission.

Many thanks for getting back and supplying the info. I suspect that the hardware that one is using it on also is a factor.
I tried the exact same version of NoviiDeluxe on 2 different devices (so far). One a very cheap no name DVD player and an even cheaper Matsui TV. The maxium range I got from DVD player was ~ 3 metres and the TV barely got to 2 metres.
Anyway, it is much better than often stated. The Novvi software is very good. From their forum there might be a problem on Hermes phones with the pre-built IR codes but there is no problem learning and implementing codes.
novii is nice, but the range kills the fun with stock IR

Don't know but I think it also has a lot to do with the quality of the signal of the original remote,
May be my imagination, but when in IR-learning mode, I got a huge difference in range if I use new batteries and press-and-hold for a few sec. the button on the original remote, instead of just a quick press. It is as if the captured code is just that little bit stronger...
As said, this may or may not help, but give it a go, you never know...

allow me to elaborate on this, my last pda (which i kinda sat on - not as sturdy as a remote apperantly...) was the ipaq rx3715.
there are two type's of ir ports generally for pda's - sir and cir.
confused? its sipmle - Serial Infra Red and Consumer Infra red.
the ipaq had SIR on it because it was part of the "media oriented packege" that RX models sport.
TyTn seems to use CIR, short range in order to communicate with other devices. most devices these days dont even get ir ports these days. i've owned my tytn for a year now and haven't once used it.
you'l get up to three meters max on a CIR usually as far as i know - BUT I COULD BE WRONG!!
maybe it could be done something from the radio rom to increase the radio power of the IR port

I have the Holux GPSlim 240 and it worked great with my Wizard. It is incredibly small - the size of a Bic lighter roughly.
Hello
What do you want to do with the GPS receiver. Do need it for car navigation for cycle or for walking.
I have an I-Blue 747 and I use is for car and walking navigation and I am very happy with it.
When you understand German you should look to the forum from http://forum.pocketnavigation.de/index.php
There you find a lot of discussions about GPS receiver.
Greetings Pudl
I use a Navicore's Personal 2007 GPS - it is a rebadged version of Holux 240 mentioned above and half the price of the Holux version
i use a Holux M1000B
super sensitive
extremely accurate
Hello Trinity forum,
iam intedning to buy a Trinity P3600, as i see on the phone spec., it does have a built-in GPS module.
however the WM6 and WM6.1 Roms posted in this forum doesnt have any indication to support it, am I right?
another question: from your experience, do you recommand it? the spec. seems to be ok, fast CPU, big ram, GPS, UMTS HSDPA. iam excited to have one!
Regards
P.S.: for now i am using the HTC Prophet
No need to panic, GPS is all working and fine, I've used many ROM's 6 and 6.1, GPS works fine in them all.
Unless you really think you need a hardware keyboard, I would HIGHLY recommend this phone. It's small enough to fit in the pocket, but PACKED with features. I use TomTom software for the GPS and it works GREAT! I also have a TomTom Rider for my motorcycle, and they both work almost identically.
For a FREE alternative to TomTom software, you can always download the FREE Microsoft Live Search software. It has GPS traffic directions in it. Not quite as easy to use as TomTom, but Free... It also includes free traffic conditions and Satellite Maps. You can see your house on your phone.
PS: Welcome to the club.
Microsoft Live Search Software: wls.live.com from your mobile phone.
Thank you guys....
I think that touche cruise is much a better option right now than trinity.
It has more ram, better gps chip and official wm6 support

I hope the Polaris does not have the same problems as the Tytn2.
My Tytn2 feels extremely slow compared to the P3600.
Tried a lot of ROMs but I prefer my P3600.

Trinity was the best 1 year ago.
Today the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) is a better solution.
More RAM/ROM
A-GPS support
Better Touch Screen

Looks like it does according to the table at the link below. I think Bluetooth 4.0 or LE (low energy) is the same thing isnt it?
