Tom Tom won't turn on GPS. Anyone have this problem? - P3300, MDA Compact III General

All of a sudden, when I open Tom Tom, it won't turn on the GPS anymore. I tested the GPS with other applications and it comes on with them, just not Tom Tom. Anyone know what could be wrong?

What com port are you using?
Try to set it to port 4 @ 9600 baut. Or reinstall TomTom
mfg sool

As well as checking the correct com port/gps device make sure Flight Mode is turned off.

Intern GPS works only with TomTom Navigator

Hi,
please can someone tell me, why the inter gps only works with TomTom
on my XDA ORBIT?
I tried MioMap from a friend, but it tells me: No GPS was found.
Same problem with other software like gpstuner / smirftech and so on.
What can i do?
Is there a trick?
Are there tools to tweak the gps ?
Please give me an tip.
Big THanks
Bye
On my MDAC3 it works fine with both Tom Tom and Memory Map and it also worked with Pocket Earth.
Regards
TomTom is not the only software that works with the internal GPS - I tried several that worked (for example, ESRI ArcPAD 7.01 and MagicMaps2GO 2).
But you are right, GPSTuner doesn't work - it locks up my device while trying to find the GPS. There is a workaround described in the GPSTuner-Forum: You have to install GPSGate (software that works as an intermediary between the GPS and any other software) (http://gpstuner.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1044).
But contrary to what the developers of GPSTuner think (namely, that TomTom locks out every other software from using the internal GPS), I don't think that's right because at least to different applications from different vendors work. There has to be something else...
Ah, big thanks!
Please tell me your config for GPS.
Why you can find the gps intern for MioMap!
I have got the same hardware like you!!
Please
Big big thanks
works ok with igo2006 and papago7 also
the problem is with destinator6 last version 6.1.1.4000

config
com4 baud 115200
tmc on com4 9600

tomtom 6 gps problem

i have a big problem with my artemis...
i updated the B&B 3.7 rom...and tomtom dont take signal from sat...
i updated the touch fluo rom...and tomtom dont take signal
i downgraded to original italian rom...and tomtom dont take signal
so i dont know what is the problem!!
when i bought my artemis tomtom was already installed in the phone (not sda)
so i downloaded the Cab from p2p and used it...it works in every way exept gps signal
i think its a problem of tomtom because with any rom i dont recive any response from sat! on tomtom.it site i cant download any Cab to install on phone..only tomtom home but i already have it on the DVD
anyone can help me or give me an advise?
Can you receive a signal at all? Is it greyed out or nothing?
When configuring GPS Hardware. Select another NMEA wired at 4800baud on COM4.

no i've not an external GPS...I'm trying to use the integrated one...Am I doing something wrong???
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

Set your GPS Port to COM1, then wait....
sometimes it take me half hour to get a fix.
However, after the first fix, subsequent fixes in the same area will be quite quick.

Make sure your GPS program port set to COM8, GPS Hardware port: COM9 Baud rate: 4800 & Tick "Manage GPS automatically" under GPS Settings.
You should test your GPS outdoor NOT INDOOR!

I also installed this version of TomTom and I had to confirgure it as GPS NMEA receptor on com9 with the speed of 57600. Than you have to wait about 2 or 3 second for TomTom to find the device.
With the internal GPS, it does not work.
Hope I could help you.
Best regards,
Dave
