TomTom & AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed - P3600 ROM Development

Hello,
I am wondering if AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed.rar is a GPS enabled rom. I cannot seem to connect using TomTom version 6.010. If it matters, my radio version is 1.50.08.11 and I am in the US.
TomTom Settings :
GPS receiver : Other NMEA Receiver
baud rate : 9600
GPS to com9
Thank you in advance!

But why don't ask this in the AX3L ROM Thread???
Don't you think AX3L will help you better?

Oh Yea it works!

AX3L 's AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed.rar works the GPS great! I have less than 50% memory usage before kicking off the TomTom 6. It's been the fasted operation I have seen on the Trinity.
I'm using the TomTom 6 from HTC and maps from everywhere. It's a lot more stable than WM5 and I'm seeing a lot less memory card corruption. (4gig SD from TopRam)
What you might try is VITO Navigator II v1.3 to trouble shoot the problem. This little app can auto find the GPS module in the Trinity and give a display of all viewable sat's in about 5 seconds. There is no enable or disable needed, that app will turn on the gps and start working. It can even show you the raw data stream coming down.
TomTom has too much over head to trouble shoot with.
Been playing with GPS units for 8 years now, Palm3 to Sony N70 to HP 5450 and now Trinity.

Navigon with Artemis

Has anyone tried Navigon MN5 with Artemis yet?..........
Thanks
Rafiki
I did.. Navigon works fine, but is really slow on my Artemis. TomTom is much faster. I tried Navigon because of the TMC support, but i can't get TMC to work on my device. I'm going to try iGo 2006 as well, but for now TomTom does the job very well.
Now I'm using iGo 2006. I can recommend this piece of software to everyone, it's much faster than both TomTom and Navigon. The looks are incredible.
My tomtom takes ages to find the sats when you first boot it up. Is this normal??

Try to find the upgrade to v6.02 as this has the option for "Built In GPS" and it'll then use the Quick GPS data. Cold start is now 10 seconds for me with warm start being about 3 second!
Navigon 6
Navigon 6 works fine, but it is really slow on Artemis, is there anyone knows how to turn the first warning off in the begining of screen ?
Does iGo support QuickGPS so that it can lock on fast?
A cool nav program is Route 66. Works fine and gets a fix in approx.10 sec. Uses same maps as Navigon btw!
TomTom is a joke if you live in Eastern Europe. Either no maps at all or very poor with only very major roads.
I only work with DestinAtor on my Artemis. Version 6.0.0.
Very fast fixes (approx 6-9 seconds) and response from map is better then TommyTommy, according to a friend of mine. He switch over to DestinAtor aswell.

Guys can someone tell me what settings they have on their Artemis' GPS Settings and on their TomTom 6.200?
On my Artemis' GPS settings, I have it set to:
GPS Programs Port: COM4
GPS Hardware Port: COM2
Baud Rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically set to: ON
And on the TomTom settings I configured it to use the Other NMEA GPS Receiver, set the baud rate to 4800 and then when it asks "GPS is connected to:" I just select COM4 which is the first option.
Now this works for me pretty well but the weird thing is my HTC P3600 seems to be a lot quicker at getting a fix and it has connections with more sattelites and a better signal than the Artemis!
As far as I know, the artemis is suppose to be much better when it comes to GPS because it has the latest Sirf 3 GPS receiver and from what I read somewhere, the P3600 has another GPS chip not as good as the Sirf 3.
Would be good to know what settings everyone else is using. By the way TomTom only seems to detect the GPS when the GPS Programs Port is set to COM4 on the Artemis' GPS settings. Setting this to anything else doesnt work.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I put the Navigon 6,2 software on my P3300 today. Awesome stuff. The update 6,2 has improved the Speed alot.
The only thing that i need help with is the TMC service.
how can i get that up and running?
Thanks
Tim
Hi,
I'm currently running navigon 6.1.5 on my P3300 with WM6 (NewArtemis2). Every now and then I'm getting the message that my memory is full. At that moment I can choose to end different programs. Normally or MN6 or phone. Because I'm using navigation I choose telephone. Then after a few minutes I'm getting a network faillure and MN6 ends.
Is this a known problem and if it is, is there a sollution for it?
Thanks for your help.
Paul
Bringing up an old topic again.
I tried to install Navigon MN6.2 on my artemis. Everything goes well, except for the images on the screen, it's far from smooth.
How did other people manage to run MN6.2 to run smoothly on there Artemis?

Tom Tom Navigator 5 Port Settings

Greetings all!
I have become the owner of an XDA Orbit and have not taken the kind people at O2 up on their offer of navigation software, but am using my existing TTN 5 software. It has installed perfectly and it works excellently on the external BT GPS, but I need to know how to get it to work through the built-in GPS.
Does anyone have any instructions and port settings to get the TTN5 to speak to the on-board GPS receiver?
All help gratefully received.........

Other NMEA GPS/ GPS Baud rate 9600/ GPS on COM4 - Mike
Thanks Mike, it works a treat (even better than my Leadtek BT GPS). I 'm sure it wouldn't have hurt O2 to put that in the manual.
Keep up the good work.

Build in GPS

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.
GPS settings
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

Should work fine
External GPS = COM9 (in Settings/Hardware/External GPS)
in TomTom6 set to 'Other NMEA', 57600 Baud, COM9

thank you but in Settings/Hardware/external GPS there are 3 tabs, one called programs, one called hardware and one called access (i think...is "accesso" in italian). How I have to set the 3 tabs????
In particular...
programs makes me choose a port that the softwares will use to communicate with GPS device
hardware makes me choose a port in which the GPS device is connected and the baud.
Access ask me if I want to automatic manage the GPS
What I have to set in each tab????
Thank you so much
Shouldn't matter set Progs to GPD1, HW to Com9 57600, Manage GPS Auto ON

and in tomtom i got internal gps selected.
please help.
greats antonius
Edit: got 1 signal now but still no connection and map only 17 is gray and standing out.
Try newer Version of TomTom. The last Version working for the Artemis is TomTom 6.032.8351. On the HTC Support Page you can find TomTom 6.032.8320 under the P3600 Section.
Regards
Jabami
works for me, try 'other nmea receiver', 9600 baud rate, and com4
hope it helps
Ive used all sorts of roms including the now official Tmob uk one and never had probs. I always use tomtom 6.0.30 from HTC's website. I use an external bluetooth GPS (as its wired into the car) and also the Build in GPS all without problems.
When in doubt, get the stylus out (and had reset)
