Hello,
I have installed TomTom navigator on my o2 xda Orbit... however it says 'no GPS device'.
There is a settings panel in tomtom and a settings panel on the windows mobile control panel but i dont know what to set exactly...
How do I know what port it is it? also In tomtom i selected TomTom wired GPS reciever, I assumed that was closest to what I had.
But no luck.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Sir P
i can list you what i have in my settings (with working tomtom of course):
my WM6 is in german, but i translate. however, i dont know the exact names of all the settings.
in WM settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (none)
Baudrate: 4800
and check the "manage GPS automatically" box
in tomtom (settings->GPS status->config):
"built-in" gps receiver
hope this helps you.
thansk very much for your help.
worked it out shortly after i posted,i just set the tomtom gps port setting to the same as in windows mobile, com4.. and worked
so all good now,
cheers though
And doing it that way allows you to use TT6 in 'flight' mode (sim disabled). Whereas if you set it to use the 'inbuilt gps', TT6 says 'no gps' in flight mode.

Hi,
I have Black 2.5 installed on my Orange SPV m3100 and have installed my TomTom Navigator 6 software which seems to be running fine.
However I cannot get it to connect to my GPS reciever (it's not a TomTom one... that got knicked)
Has anyone had any success running this sort of set up? What setting do I need inside TomTom and in WM6?
Many thanks.

Just since you didn't mention it... you did pair the new GPS to the phone, right?
This is something I'm curious about as well. I won't get TomTom or Garmin, but Google Maps (free) is supposed to do the same thing.

I have run Tomtom 6 with Black 2.5 with no problems, have you tried a soft reset, and do you know how to pair it up properly with the bluetooth receiver?
I run Tomtom version 6.030 (8320) with new map version 675.1409
Hi,
I am using NAVIZON.COM and a nokia LDW3 GPS receiver and I must select manualy in Navizon software my GPS.
Maybe it is an WM6 problem or Navizon problem.
try to select it before launching maps
regards
Richard
I have paired my m3100 with the GPS. In TomTom under GPS device I have selected "Other bluetooth GPS reciever" then it asks...
"GPS is connected to:"
Which do I select?

I use com port 0, but you need to set this in bluetooth settings before you run Tomtom, let me know what you have done so far and I will help you out.
I just helped someone with a bluetooth gps problem where they has paired the gps, but it would not work.
I looked at the bluetooth settings in the comm manager, the COM ports tab.
There was nothing there but "New Incoming port" and "New Outgoing port".
I clicked on "New Outgoing port" there was the GPS listed, and I clicked it to assign a com port. After I picked one that it would accept, the GPS worked fine.
Just because you pair the GPS does not mean you are done with the config.
Be sure and assign the port number.
I hope this helps.
I've sorted it now, thanks for all help.
I'd already done the pairing... AND set up a serial port but it wasn't appearing in the list within TomTom. However, for some reason when I tried it again to show someone it wasn't working...
...it worked!
Isn't that always the way? I dunno if it was the soft reset. seems feasible so thanks for that suggestion.
Anyways, i'm a very happy bunny now. My SPV has never run so fast, my TomTom works and I have my messenger all merged with Outlook nicely (finally) WM6 Black 2.5 rules!
This was driving me crazy, i was trying all these things and couldn't get tomtom to find my gps. but like an idiot i had overlooked the com ports on the bluetooth settings.
I set it to com 0, went to tomtom and com 0 showed up under other bluetooth gps(before it was cam3 com7 RIL on Com6 and irda). Now its all good to go!
btw, does the RIL on Com6 mean that its seeing the internal gps?
Hi
I have installed GPS on com5, TomTom don't reconize it (don't list com5) but i choose com3 and save setting. Exit tomtom and edit binary file navigator.cfg and change com3 to com5 save and rstart TomTom, then reconize com5 and works fine.
Try yo do this.
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
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.
