question does the blue angel support using the intenal gps and if so how do you activate it to use it with software
Thanks
The blue angel has no internal GPS hardware. A bluetooth GPS unit can be used however. The device should also be able to use an SDIO GPS reciever.

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
If i want to use tomtom or any other kind of sat nav, do i have to buy a seperate gps bluetooth receiver or can i use the blootooth in my xda and an installed/downloaded gps software? If i can use an installed/downloaded software which is recommended?
The blue angel doesn't have built in GPS capabilities, so you'd have to use an external receiver. You can get these for as little as £60 if you hunt around.
In my humble opinion, Tomtom is the best software out there. I recently upgraded to v5 and it's excellent. Try globalpositioningsystems.co.uk for some ok deals.
after you have got it up and running go to http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/uksafetycameras.php

Hi,
I was wondering whether TomTom software for a Nokia would work on an XDA IIs?
And does the XDA IIs have a gps reciever in built?
Kind Regards

nokia tomtom software wont work on xda IIs, different Operating system and no the xdaIIs does not have gps built in you need a seperate gps receiver
The BA is very capable of running TTN6 if accompanied with an external GPS receiver - Bluetooth is best although cabled versions of the GPS are available, should you decide to use a cabled solution please remember to disbale the "Receive all incomming beams" from the IRdA settings as this releases the comm port for correct communications - Mike
hi
when i bought my artemis, it came with an external gps receiver which i have never used because the internal gps is doing it for me... i have microsoft streets and maps on my laptop and it would be great if i could connect the external gps that came with my artemis...
the connector is called MS-147-C(LP)-2 and it looks like in the picture
i hope some1 can answer me this time
Removed (mis-read the question!)
What you have got on the picture is only an External Antenna. It is NOT a GPS receiver. It is used to only boost the signal in poor conditions (ie in a vehicle).
There is no way to directly connect this Antenna to a PC/Laptop. You will need a real GPS receiver (PCMCIA/ExpressCard/USB) and if you buy one - you will (most probably) not need the Antenna.
On the other hand you most probably do not need it anyway. You can use the GPS receiver on your Artemis and share it (over USB/bluetooth) with your laptop.
There are already lots of threads and guides here. Just search!

Good Luck !
I would like to know how to disable the internal GPS.
The reason is that I have found it to lose position fairly frequently whereas the TomTom Wireless GPS MkII I was using with my old Treo never once lost it's position.
So I intend to disable the internal GPS, and use my TomTom Wireless GPS MkII instead.
WinMo 6.1
Black&White v5.0
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 4.1.0.7
thanks in advance

I can only think of settings/GPS. Maybe setting GPS Program port to '(none)' instead of com4 might disable it? Also, I just had a look and when I load tomtom on the phone and go to 'configure' where I would select a GPS receiver to use, there's one which says Tom Tom Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Would that work for your wireless? I'm just guessing here.
Thanks Roman. I don't see any way of validating 100%, but I think what's happening is when my external (TomTom Wireless GPS MkII) is connected, the phone is getting it's position from that GPS rather than the internal one.
So in theory, problem solved.
In practise however (I used it yesterday), the phone isn't losing the GPS position like before, but it seems to have lost a load of accuracy.
I need to do more testing on this.
