ok i just installed yahoo go on my herm 8525, how do i use the GPS as in could someone help me on telling me what ports to use, i searched google but i Couldn't find anything on it or about it so could you guys please help?????
Unfortunately my friend there is no internal GPS (working) inside hermes model handsets... You must buy external Bluetooth GPS and the BT set-up will assign a com port to the external GPS which can then be used by any program on the device.

Hi I have a mda compctII, I also have tomtom navigator 5. I am having problems setting up me I-blue gps reciever. I can get everything running and the test program supplied with the gpr reciever connects to the device and shows gps location. But... when I go to run tomtom I cannot get it to recognise the device. It is set up on bluetooth serial port 6 but tomtom does not have this selection availible... and Ideas?
I have no experience pairing a 3rd part BT GPS receiver since I use the original TomTom. I think what you need is to first install BT_COM_PORT.CAB (attached) so that you could select on which COM port to use.
Try upgrading TT to the latest version (5.21) too.
Good luck.
one step closer... in blutooth selection I am given the option for all the com ports... but it will only allow me to select com 6. This option is not shown in tomtom just com:0,2,3 and 9.
Sorry mate, I think I couldn't be of any further help since I have no experience with the I-Blue. If my memory serves me right, I think I saw some posts about the I-Blue in Howard Forum.
Hi,
I have tomtom 5 on my Vario and have a BT GPS receiver that came with the copilot software.
I can't get tomtom to recognize the BT receiver. BT search on the device finds the receiver and it works ok with the copilot software. When I try to connect it using the tomtom software, I can't find the right port (COM6) in the tomtom settings, the tomtom website says choose other BT GPS and then it should have 'Bluetooth Port COM6'. Well it's just not there!!!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
try turning off recieve beam that frees up a com port
Sorry, I should have put in the original post that I have already unticked beam receive.
Thanks anyway - any more ideas anyone?
BT/GPS Problems
Hi all,
I have a program that can sort out the com port problems between the bluetooth and gps software.
I have included the program as an attachment, just unzip it into your PC, make sure you reboot your PDA, sync your PDA to the PC and run setup.
Problems solved.
Cheers,

Hi all,
The problem most of us experience is that microsoft removed the function of configuring com ports in their Pocket PC Version 4 build.

i thought it was only the automatic comport handleing that was removed so you just have to manually set a com port it 2 second of a job
XDA comports
It seems that Microsoft left out our ability to configure com ports altogether. If you try and do a manual configuration with the GPS software it will drive you crazy. I have had so many emails at my hotmail account from people with problems that I have sent this program to and it has fixed thier problem. That is why I decided to put it up here.

Bluetooth GPS problem
I have updated the zip file to include a new readme file.
Please follow the instructions.
Unzip file to PC
Reboot PDA.
Sync PDA to PC.
Run Setup.exe
Problem should be fixed, if not reinstall GPS software.
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
Thanks for that.
I tried it and it doesnt appear to have fixed it.
I installed the patch rebooted phone, removed TomTom6 and reinstalled and still cant connect to bluetooth headset, uninstall TomTom6 put on TomTom5 and works, back to 6 still no go.
Any other suggestions?
Cheers
Hi Cozza,
Sorry you are still having a problem, only thing I can suggest is to see if anyone else has a similar problem with TomTom 6, if so you may have to contact them direct and ask for technical assistance.
Just had another thought, could Tom Tom 6 be taking over the port assigned to the headset by default, if so maybe installing the headset after TomTom 6 might work???
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
Yep i have tried that.
Have formatted the phone several times both installing the Bluetooth Car Kit before and after TomTom 6 and still no luck.
TomTom 5 works fine but as soon as updated to TomTom6 Car Kit wont connect, it finds it but just 'connection failed'.
Remove TomTom6 and thinks work OK.
Weird....
Hmmm - What should be different?
I've installed this application, but I still don't see anyway to change either:
1. which port the bluetooth app assigns to the connection (currently port 7)
2. the selection of ports available from TomTom 5.21 to make a connection.
Like everyone else, I've gone through all the port options in TomTom, and it still doesn't connect to the GPS. Other GPS software (everything else I've ever tried - a LOT of software) has no problem connecting to my GPS, so this is obviously a TomTom problem.
Thanks!

I made Headway!
I finally found something to help!!
http://www.tomtom.com/support/category.php?ID=3&Language=1&FID=3236
The above is a step-by-step guide. The key for my HP6325 (63xx series) was to not connect to BlueTooth, but "Other NMEA GPS." After that, the port connection through Bluetooth worked.
Yeah!

Wizard GPS settings after GPS in phone is unlocked
I own a T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) with the 3-0-0 upgraded ROM and need the GPS settings after GPS in phone is unlocked. Anyone know how to do this?
Hey guys,
I'm sorry if this question has already been posted, but I searched and couldn't find anything.
My question is this, I have a NOkia E65 with a Navigator application, and I wanted to use my HTC P3300 as an External GPS via Bluetooth. Is that possible to do ? I've been fiddling around with the GPSGate app, but so far no such luck.
Thanks for your help
How far do you get through the set-up guide on this page http://franson.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3968
It works fine on my Artemis - Mike
Hi,
I was able to get it working through Activesync. At first connect your computer through activesync via Bluetooth. Then configure your GPSgate to connect through Activesync, then you can see your Artemis is now able to work as a external GPS receiver.
can anyone help me plzz
when i use google map USE GPS it says no gps reciever found
and when i use tomtom 7 it says same sort of thing and according to my little knowledge it is gps inbuilt mobile isnt it can anyone help me answer this plz if there is wrong with my blackstone plz let me know how to fix it. plzzzz
When you start TomTom click on the box to the bottom right to bring up status summary, then click on the bar to the right that says staellites, choose configure, slect "other nmea gps receiver" slide baud rate to max (115200) then select "Com4"
Job done
If you have like me installed VOIP, try this one:
To solve the problem just rename file /windows/dnsapi.dll to for example dnsapi.dll_bck and make soft reset or turn off and on your device.
There will be created a new file with the same name and you can delete the old renamed one. Then the GPS working properly as well as VoIP. Good luck...
Thank you
Thanks for you help but still just make me sure plz blackstone got inbuilt gps or not??? are you people talking about anything else.. coz i tried both of above options but no still when i use google man it says no gps ... bla blah blahh
and in tomtom 7 it says no singnal and when i force it says you may be inside building.....
hi
u need to go to Tomtom setting. First go to windows setting , click external gps to define your port com as 4, and the rate: 9600 etc, then start tomtom, go to setting, choose gps setting, then select external gps receiver (not sure, i forget tomtom!) choose the right rate and port come, 4 and 9600. then it should be working! if it still not working, try google it! good luck!
and the google map thing, forget it, it wont work and take data from Gps, as far as i know, all it uses gps is to identify ur current postition!!!! then it use 3g to download data just like when u use google map on ur pc!!! careful the data costs!!!
