Falk Navigator 2 & Blue Angel - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hello there.
I have a GPS Receiver (is not a bluetooth GPS) from Falk Navigator 2. No CD's, no Maps, only the GPS and the cables.
I use another navigation system (I-Go) because has maps for Eastern Europe.
My problem: I don't know how to connect the GPS to the navi software.
The navi-software does not auto detect the GPS, tried all settings available with the navigation software.
Is there a Windows setting that it should be made before using the navigation ?
Lots of thanks.

buy bt gps.

Do you have a cable that connects between the com port on the PDA to the GPS?
If so connect this and go to Settings/ Connections Tab/ Beam and make sure the Recieve all beams check box is NOT selected (by default it is checked), this is known to prevent connection via a wired receiver - Mike

Tomtom Routeplanner & GPS BT

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

GPS Disabled with TomTom - Please Help!

Have had my Orange SPV M2000 for the past month & neither TomTom support or Orange have been able to resolve:
TomTom Navigator 3 shows "GPS Disabled" at the Settings> System> GPS> gps> screen the device shows "TomTom Wireless GPS" in the top box & "Bluetooth GPS" in the box below. The large 'button' to their left is grey/blue, but it does not respond to selection.
Does anyone USE TomTom + TomTom Wireless GPS on their Blue Angel?
Having used TomTom on my previous XDA2 & SPV M1000 have tried EVERYTHING to get it working...resets, re-loaded TomTom, Bluetooth sees the TomTom GPS & works with my BT headset

I've had this problem with XDA2 and with a rom prior to SE.
Never knew why I couldn't enable TomTom Wireless GPS , but you might wanna try enabling a standard NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth driver. It should/might work also.
Ever since i installed 2003SE I can enable TomTom Wireless GPS

How/where can I get 'NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth driver'
Thanks

It works fine for me with a Tomtom Bluetooth and Tomtom 3 on my XDAiis
Lots of questions, hopefully one will point you in the right direction -
1. Have you ued the updated version of tomtom and the tomtom GPS driver, the Blueangel is a WM2003SE device and will not work without the patch. v3.07 from tomtom download
Mine cam with 2 CD's, I installed Tomtom from the update CD with v307 and the maps/voices etc from the normal CD.
2. Does the GPS pair OK with yuor PDA, can you see it in the "Bluetooth Manager" as a device, can you conect to it from here
3. Have you tried running the standalone "GPS" application installed with TomTom rather than the full app, go to the HW tab at the bottom of this and ensure Bluetooth device selected and hit the tick button
4. Does the GPS unit work with any other applications like Navio from tiny stocks - they have a demo you can try
5. What colour and flash rates are the LEDS are on the GPS
If you cant figure it out post answers to the above Q's and I'll try and help
Cheers Wayne
Check the settings in the bluetooth manager to see which outgoing bt com port is in use. Mine was doing this until I checked this to see it was using com6. I then set the GPS second drop down box to com6 and all was well.
Also make sure you are using the latest Nav and GPS version from tomtom.com (v 3.07 I think).

3. Have you tried running the standalone "GPS" application installed with TomTom - simply fails to recognise GPS
4. Does the GPS unit work with any other applications - GPS works fine with my old SPV M1000 (tried again now)
5. What colour and flash rates are the LEDS are on the GPS - Blue twice a second, Green every second

As it just worked for me I'm stuck. Only other thoughts are:
Do you have any other serial devices or use GPSGate in use or are you using Bluetooth Activesync?
Try deleteing the device in the Bluetooth managher and re pair, I dont have authentication selected in the properties in the Bluetooth settings.
When I said try the GPS with a different application I meant on the Blueangel, Navio is another GPS program
Good luck

GPS receivers for xda exec

There seems to be lots of questions relating to gps receivers not pairing with o2 xda exec especially with tomtom. Most solutions say you must designate com 6 to work. But I am only offered com 4 amd 8 all others unable to connect. Is there a general problem with bluetooth and XDA? When I load up tomtom under GPS it says I must pair first! which I have done. Is there one easy way to pair bluetooth or is it a case of try lots of different ways to see which works. Any thoughts would help. :!:
this always works for my bluetooth gps.
Turn blootooth on.
Start bluetooth manager
Turn on bluetooth GPS
Select NEW from bottom left menu in bluetooth manager
Scroll down to explore Bluetooth device
If keyboard appears type 0000 into keyboard and then Enter.
Once done you should have an icon in BT shortcuts - BUT you need two ICONS so repeat the above actions again.
Now you should have two icons for your BT GPS.
One BT GPS SPP (1)
One BT GPS SPP (slave)
The reason - one is the up channel one is the down channel.
Double tap either one and they go live.
Run TOMTOM and it should work fine.
What a lot of BT GPS users do is establish just one connection Icon which they think will make everything work OK. You actually need two Icons.
This problem drove me nuts for two whole days - my battery went flat and I re-installed Tomtom then the bt gps but didn't realise I only had one BT connection instead of two.
If you have done they above and Tomtom doesn't find the BT GPS try doing a configure within tomtom and select Other BT GPS device - that should fix it.

gps reciever wont connect

since upgrading to tomtom6 my ba wont connect to my gps reciever, just says no gps device. if i reconfig it to bluetooth gps it trys to connect but wont even try with my wired gps iv even tried changing the gps. anyone got any ideas?
Which OS have you got on the BA?
If its WM2003SE have you gone to BT manager found the GPS unit tap and hold, then select "Connect" - BEFORE trying to configure the GPS in TT.
If its WM2005 have you selected the serial port mode and then set the outgoing Com port? - again this must be done BEFORE trying to configure the GPS in TT. - Mike
tomtom gps
im trying to use a wired gps reciever
In which case go to Start/ Settings/ Connections Tab select IrDA or Beam once in this page deselect the "Recieve all beams" check box, then try again with the TT unit (the IrDA stops the Com port from working) - Mike
job done
many thanx, wish i'd of asked before buying a new cradle and gps lol.
