I have P3300, noone soft cant see his GPS reciever (
TONTOM saz "No GPS device"
It works before, settings are default - COM4, 4800
Any ideas?
The HTC P3300 should have been supplied with TomTom version 6,020 installed this version has a selection for "Built-in GPS Receiver" select this and that is all you need to do.
If you want to select the configuration manually you can use "Other NMEA GPS receiver" set the Baud rate to 9600 then select COM4, there is a small yellow/ blue disk top right this should be spinning, take the unit outside and wait for a few mins for the position fix.
Both of the above options assume you have not messed around with the GPS applet in settings_system tab. Check it is set as follows:
Programs Tab, GPS Program Port COM4
Hardware Tab, GPS hardware Port (None) Baud rate 9600
Access Manage GPS Automatically is ticked.

Thank you very much! I change 4800 to 9600 and it wooooorkssss!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!

with tomtom 3.0 it was simple to connect with tomtom 4.0 it was again simple then came tomtom 5.0
had to select wired gps and then chose com port 6 with tomtom 5.0 with wm 2003se. with wm5.0 its all different cant get it to synch with my gps any help will be great. im sure there will be a lot of people strugglign with this
Same problem here but using a Pharos 360 with the Bluetooth docking station. With WM2003SE Tom Tom shows a lot more com ports. It used to have Com5 and Com6 and the bottom of the configuration screen. Now it only has Com1 Wired connection, Com2 and COm9.
When pairing the GPS to an outbound serial port you can not use com9, Com2 or Com1. If you pair the GPS to new port like com6, Tom Tom still does not offer com6 as an option.
So I figured you had to use the GPS control panel item to map another Com port to the actual GPS com port. But still no joy. After creating a new software com port it still does not show up in Tom Tom. If you use one Com2 or Com9 that Tom Tom does have options for, it does not connect.
Anyone got this working??
Shawn
Please check your PM.
Thanks,

solution found for the above
go to bluetooth and pair the gps with the phone. enter passcode if required then click on new outgoing port and then select com port 6.
open tomtom then select configure gps then select other buetooth gps. you should now see com port 6. select this and everything should work now.
That does not work for me. Once I pair my GPS and assign it a com port, the com port will NOT show up in the Tom Tom GPS configuration screen.

tomtom
need to ensure you enable the serial connection when it asks you. for me it worked on com 6 and should be same for you no matter wat bluetooth gps you are using as it says this on tomtom website. instead of using wired gps like in 2003se we need to use bluetooth gps option and it should work. seems to work fine for me. do a breakdown of what you are doing cos we may find something i am doing that you are missing out or something you are doing which is wrong.
by the way i have beams turned off and i have not fiddled with com ports on the gps setting icon in settings menu. the application and hardware port have been set to none. we just need to apply the gps port to com 6 upon creation of partnership
Thanks for the reply
This is what I am doing.
Settings->Connections->BlueTooth
On Mode tab. Turn On Bluethooth
Click Device Tab
Click new partnership
Pharos iGPS-BT shows up. I select and say next
I check the serial Port service and click save
I click on Com Ports tab
I click on new Outgoing Port
I select My GPS and select Com6
I have tried with the "Secure connection" on and off
Click Finish
Now the comm port tab shows
Pharos iGPS-BT (COM6)
New Outgoing Port
New Incoming Port
Click Ok to close the BlueTooth manager
Click X to close the settings window
Run Tom Tom
Click on the GPS Bars to get to the status summary
Click on the bars again to get to GPS Status
Click COnfigure
Select Other Bluetooth GPS
Press Continue on next screen
Now all the shows up is
BT UART
COM2:
Serial Cable on COM1:
COM9:
Ir on COM3:
So I can not select Com6 as it is not in the list.
i have the problem....
can,t anyone welp. pls
think i have a solution
slammers et al,
switch off 'Receive all incoming beams' in Settings, Connections, Beam.
in Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, Services select Serial Port - in mine 3 are ticked:
Enable service
Authentication(Passkey) required
Encryption required.
click Advanced, Inbound COM Port is 5, Outbound COM Port is 6.
switch on your bluetooth GPS receiver.
open Bluetooth Manager and double tap your GPS receiver, if it's not in Bluetooth Manager then pair the device and create a serial connection by clicking New, Explore a Bluetooth device, select your device to make a serial connection shortcut.
start TomTom, go to 'Change preferences', Show GPS status, Configure, select 'Other Bluetooth GPS' and select Serial port 6....click done....in the GPS Status window you may see that it is connected....if not do the next step.
click done, exit application.
soft reset device.
switch your bluetooth gps receiver off then on.
start TomTom, leave it for 30 seconds....it should connect to your GPS device...if you have the older TomTom GPS receiver you'll be able to tell that it's made a connection by the constant blue light being displayed on the gps receiver.
if you have no luck with selecting 'Other Bluetooth GPS' try selecting 'Other Cable NMEA GPS', choose GPS baud rate 4800 and then 'Bluetooth Serial Port 6' in the TomTom configuration screen.
i know it's a bluetooth device but this has been a problem prior to version 5.10 of the tomtom software and people have had success using this option and connecting.
i've had success with a few different configurations and have helped a few people get theirs working.....also there is a claire on this board who i went through a painstakingly long back an forth post with and i'm still not sure if she got it working....but i've just learned how to get mine working where it turns on the bluetooth automatically and switches it off also...and prior to this post i had it connected using the 'Other Cable NMEA GPS' instead of Other Bluetooth GPS....so good thing i turned it on and messed with my config while trying to explain how to modify yours.
good luck.
i dont have this opction on windows mobile 5 decoy 7....
you dont have that option?
no... mobile 5 have the BT like qtek s100.. very simple.... :shock:
but finely i have put on work the bt-338 on mY BA with tom tom 5
i do this:
seting-connections-bt then i partnership with gps
next
setings-connections-bt-com ports and make outgoing port with gps (com6)
setings.connections.bt.com ports and make incoming por (com7)
next

Are you sure you mean softport 7 and set 6 in tomtom?
help
I am having this problem but the TyTn only lets me use Com 0 so I cant set it to com6.
WHen I am in TomTom it says there is no gps and when trying to configure it doesnt give me the right options.
help please
Hope someone can help ... I know this should be easy but just can't get things working. I have loaded iGuidance software into my P3300 with WM6 ROM. I dont know what com port to use and which baud rate to set at in iGuidance. In the WM6 "external" software should i check off or uncheck let Wm manage. In this program it wants to know what GPS program port I am using ? and GPS Hardware port and Baud .. Hope someone can help - been about a week and I cant seem to figure it out - thanks very much
I run Destinator for satnav, and have the gps settings at COM4 and 4800 baud in Destinator.
In external GPS, I have the following settings.
Programs tab:COM4
Hardware Tab: GPS Hardware port NONE , Baudrate 4800
Access Tab: Manage GPS ticked.
Also,
I found that sometimes Destinator would say that it had lost the gps connection , then found it, over and over.
To get over this problem, I installed GPSGATE (Google for it).
Run that, it'll find the GPS on COM4, then set a "virtual" GPS connection for COM5.
Try pointing iGuidance to COM5.
That should help.
hello guys,
i have a great problem trying to use my internal gps of my dutch mda compact III (artemis) i have installed the PDAviet B&B 4.1 rom.
the problem i am having is that the gps cannot be found by any aplication. and the status led doesnt shine/blink (never seen it working).
i know i am using the right settings (gps program: com4, gps hardware: none, baudrate: 4800, and automatic use).
i've searched al over the place(xdadev. google) and couldnt find a solution.
so please if any one knows what is wrong, or a way to test my gps device at all, tell me!! thanks in advance`!!
have same problems,
Went to tomtom website and got tomtom 6 update(01.01.07) to start with.
Seems I did it reght as I got new splash screen on tomtom start up, got back the option for selecting "integrated gps receiver" rather than having to select the Nmea option.
But still invalid signal for now
In any application you just need to setup port on com4 and baud on 57600 or 115200.
I have tomtom and it works I’ve used miomap and it worked too.
btw: tomtom detects gps automatically as internal gps.

I think it's com4 and 4800 baud and not 57600 or 115200

Agree you can set it up to 4800

Hi guys and gals,
I've tried doing a search on the forum but I'm struggling to find what I need...
Just wondering... I've installed TomTom 6 on the Artemis and I want to configure its GPS settings to use the internal GPS. What settings do I need to use?
I was setting COM4 and 4800bps but TomTom's just saying "No GPS Device"
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Rob.
Hi, the settings i use for TomTom Navigator 6 are:
"Other NMEA GPS reciever" - GPS Baud rate of 9600 - COM4:
Hope this helps
Strange, I have just posted this on another forum:
Please make sure the GPS setting within the control panel section of your C-III gas not been altered from default, messing with this can cause the problem you are having, it should be set:
Programs Tab
GPS Program Port COM4
Hardware Tab
None and 9600
Access Tab
Manage GPS automatically should be selected.
Start TomTom up and got to Change Preferences/ Show GPS Status, tap "Configure" and go through the various pages, the best one to use is "Built in GPS receiver" as it is the most simple setting only versions 6,020 and 6,030 have this facility. If you are using some other version go for "Other NMEA GPS Receiver", Baud Rate 9600, and select COM4:
Take the device outside and wait for a while for it to find the signal - Mike
I agree with the post above, but when you use Other NMEA , you can use any baud rate (assuming you are using the built in GPS reciever of the Artemis) on the Artemis. I prefer 57600.
And before you go out and wait for satellite connections, plug your Artemis to your computer and Activesync and fire up QuickGPS and download ephemeris data. You can also do this when youre connected to WiFi or GPRS.
This will speed up your device connecting to satellites.
Have fun.

hello,
i had tomtom running on my mda compact III till a ferw days back. now when i try to run tom tom, i get an old map and the message at the bottom left saying "No GPS device" and somehow the bluelight (bluetooth ?) at the top starts flashing . i went to settings ->system (tab) --> GPS and checked the settings
GPS program port is GPD1
GPS hardware port is COM3
baud rate = 4800
access manage GPS automatically (recommended) --> checked
i googled the issue and came across the settings above at the following site
http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-a.../248572/compact-iii-gps-settings/#entry825168
the guys device works fine. can you guys tell me what has gone wrong to my GPS device
I just uninstalled tomtom navigator 6 and am reinstalling it later, but I believe these are my settings.
Other nmea reciever
Baud rate 4800
Com 4
Hardware port = 'none'.
thanks for the reply,
i tried hardware port "none" but that did not work on my xda
what was your GPS program port setting?
Go to the GPS aplet on the phone and set it as follows:
GPS Program port = COM4
GPS Hardware Port = (None) Baud Rate 4800
Manage GPS Automatically is selected
Now start the TomTom application and go to change preferences/ Manage GPS and use the selection for "Inbuilt GPS Receiver" if your software version supports this option, otherwise use Other NMEA GPS Device, Com 4, Baud 4800 and it should work fine - Mike
