blue angel and Navigon BT GPS module

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

TomTom Navigator 5 and Arkon GPS (Sirf vs NMEA)

Hi!
I have just upgraded to TomTom 5 and found out that the new SW does not support Sirf GPS anymore, but just NMEA...
I have the Arkon GPS\Speaker\battery charger... and it is Sirf...
Is there any SW way in the world I canget the TT5 SW to work with my GPS? Or I have to throw the GPS away and get a new antenna?
Thanks,
Chris

I would think that it is switchable via software but cant help you with download link.

The attached Sirfdemo program (Win 2K/XP) will let you switch to NMEA format.

i-mate jasjar not work with parrot ck3300 gps

help me
I have a Imate Jas-Jar windows mobile 2005. A new version of GPS Nav-N-Go was released for WM 2005 I installed it and it doesn't work! It doesn't recognize my GPS on the Parrot CK3300.
I talked with the Nav-N-Go developers and they told me that the Nav-N-Go works with 9 GPS antenna's. It seems to me that the problem is in the definition of a communication "COM port".
Please help me to solve this problem. Is there a way to define a "COM port" for GPS in the CK3300

JasJar & TomTom5 using a Parrot 3300 for GPS & Phone
I also have a Jas Jar badged as an Orange SPVM5000 and have similar problems. I am not a techie by any meands but I do not think the problem is with the Parrot 3300.
The Bluetooth pairing connects Parrot and Phone.
Setting the com port is identifying where the incoming gps signal is made of available on the phone.
TomTom5 is the sat nav software I use and it seems only to work by connecting to certain com ports. Unfortunatley, the phone does not like assigning the connection to this port.
Elsewhere on this site there are instructions which allowed me to pair the phone with another GPS BT reciever I use when out and about.
The same procedure will not work with pasiring the parrot.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can pair with the Parrot to get the phone and gps working?

You may find some answers here -- worth a try, anyway.

Garmin XT on Hermes

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.

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.
