Does Garmin XT works on Hermes?
Hermes is not on list of Garmin XT compatible devices. Maybe because only devices with internal GPS receiver are listed.
Anyone using Hermes + external GPS + Garmin XT?
Thanks for any info.
Works great. But, i also us Franson GPSgate to connect to the BT GPS and this gives me a virtual com port that Mobile XT can connect to.
I've never tried connecting Mobile XT directly to the BT.
Hope this helps,
works fine on mine without gpsgate, i connect it directly to bt
Mine works fine without gpsgate...using holux gpslim 236 bt GPS
I'm using Hermes+Garmin XT+Garmin10 GPS. And this combination works perfect. As soon as you start XT the software automatically enables BT (if it was disabled before) and shut BT down after you close XT. Which is good as you don't need to worry about the status of your BT. The only 2 problems I've experienced so far are:
1. I can't stream A2DP while using GPS (audio is choppy)
2. I can't use Windows Live Search while XT is running.
So it seems that XT tgets exclusive access to Hermes' BT with all the negative consequences.
I too have Garmin XT and i have no complaints.

Hi ppl,
i recently recieved a kit from Navigon, Navigon Mobile 4 with a BT GPS mouse.
I got the mouse bonded as a serial slave on com 5 & 6 and seems to be recognise by the software because i recieve at least the TMC messages.
but i got no GPS signal.
does anybody ever tryed this GPS on a qtek 9090 ?
is there a specific tool i need to install on my pda for the BT manager (options are quite poor in the BT manager)
any ideas ?
thks
Navigon needs VTG data from the GPS to work. If you have a GPS powered by a SIRF chipset it is easy : go to www.gpspassion.com and download a freeware to do the job.
i dont really know about the gps reciever furnished by navigon, there are no information about the hadware in the package, or user guide
If you have the Navigon GPS and not a non branded Navigon GPS, the issue is not the VTG...
i have the navigon BT GPS + TMC, the tmc works i recieve the signal in the software correctly, but i do not recieve any gps signal
i guess it comes from the com ports, but i really do not know how to solve that problem
i found the response, Qtek 9090 has a wildcomm BT modem so it requieres a patch available at the support page of navidon.de web site

try with gpsgate.
I alredy try with Gpsgate but result is the same - no go. Garmin XT software scanning the bluetooth devices and detect TomTom mk2 receiver but this is it, then just stuck at searching satelites. Anybody had the same expirience ?

with gpsgate choose NMEA gps and not emulate gamin (ive tried it with an external leadtek sirf star iii gps) and works fine.
Hi,

Need information !?
No one with that combination ? Garmin XT + TomTom bluetooth receiver mk2 ? What is the diference between TomTom receiver and other bluetooth receivers ? I tried everything but Garmin XT wont talk to TomTom receiver. Is out there any software wheach translate TomTom BT comunication protocol to Garmin protocol. I look at specification of both receivers and i dont find where is the catch. I hope somebody tell me the trick to force TomTom receiver to talk to Garmin XT software. Gpsgate dont work with this combination.

Yes it is. It works with most major GPS applications, TOM TOM, Handymap etc. You just need a bluetooth GPS receiver. I use it is my primary GPS device.
of course... just buy a gps receiver, garmin should b a good brand for it as well as the software.
Yes with BT GPS receiver it works like a charm. I'm using garmin software and BT138 (4 years old). I've also tried TomTom, IGO and others but because my specific needs I'm using garmin.

1. Download and install GPS6 This will install and enable the GPS Driver
2. Download and install Microsoft Smartphone GPSID this will allow you to configure your GPS settings (com ports, speed etc)
3. Reboot your device then pair your GPS Receiver
I think by defalt the GPS uses com6, I use garmin too, I have the GPS paired before I start the App.
Hello!
I have a car GPS Navigator which has a feature to pair with a mobile phone or PDA via bluetooth to use it as handsfree, view contacts, make calls from GPS screen ans so on. Both devices can see each other via bluetooth but the problem is that they can't pair. My BA has WM6.1 installed, I haven't any problems with bluetooth yet. May be BA does't support this functionality or it does'n have appropriate Bluetooth Profile ?
May be it would be useful to someone with similar issue. My bluetooth problem has been resolved just by installing WM6.5 ROM ! I've tried almost all versions of WM6.5 located on xda-developers and every one has the bt stack much better than WM6.1 has.
