Tomtom Routeplanner & GPS BT

Can anyone tell me why TT Routeplanner doesn't "see" my BT GPS?
I also have Destinator3 installed on my PPC and works perfectly with my GPS Receiver. So I assume that it is not a bluetooth connection problem.
Please, anyone?

what kind of GPS receiver do you have ?
does it support serial port profile ?
what drivers have u selected in TT GPS ?
Did you update to the latest version of TT ?

I have a BT48.
Yes, it supports SPP
No drivers were selected in TT GPS, simply because TT does not see a gps connection. I click on GPS Setup (within TT settings), but nothing happens.
TT Routeplanner doesn't have a new version. It has been replaced and it is not supported any longer.
Any suggestions?

Is the gps receiver listed in the bluetooth section of your ppc ? (settings-connections-bluetooth)
Try removing the link, then bond again using outbound Com 5 (spp)
In TT GPS manually select NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth in the upper box and
com 5 in the lower drop down box. Then tick the blue box left.

I solved the problem, which by the way was so silly that I refuse to mention it. :wink:
Thanks anyway pleum

wm 5.0 totom & 5.100 & Altina GPS

with tomtom 3.0 it was simple to connect with tomtom 4.0 it was again simple then came tomtom 5.0
had to select wired gps and then chose com port 6 with tomtom 5.0 with wm 2003se. with wm5.0 its all different cant get it to synch with my gps any help will be great. im sure there will be a lot of people strugglign with this

Same problem here but using a Pharos 360 with the Bluetooth docking station. With WM2003SE Tom Tom shows a lot more com ports. It used to have Com5 and Com6 and the bottom of the configuration screen. Now it only has Com1 Wired connection, Com2 and COm9.
When pairing the GPS to an outbound serial port you can not use com9, Com2 or Com1. If you pair the GPS to new port like com6, Tom Tom still does not offer com6 as an option.
So I figured you had to use the GPS control panel item to map another Com port to the actual GPS com port. But still no joy. After creating a new software com port it still does not show up in Tom Tom. If you use one Com2 or Com9 that Tom Tom does have options for, it does not connect.
Anyone got this working??

Please check your PM.
Thanks,
Darren

solution found for the above
go to bluetooth and pair the gps with the phone. enter passcode if required then click on new outgoing port and then select com port 6.
open tomtom then select configure gps then select other buetooth gps. you should now see com port 6. select this and everything should work now.

That does not work for me. Once I pair my GPS and assign it a com port, the com port will NOT show up in the Tom Tom GPS configuration screen.

tomtom
need to ensure you enable the serial connection when it asks you. for me it worked on com 6 and should be same for you no matter wat bluetooth gps you are using as it says this on tomtom website. instead of using wired gps like in 2003se we need to use bluetooth gps option and it should work. seems to work fine for me. do a breakdown of what you are doing cos we may find something i am doing that you are missing out or something you are doing which is wrong.
by the way i have beams turned off and i have not fiddled with com ports on the gps setting icon in settings menu. the application and hardware port have been set to none. we just need to apply the gps port to com 6 upon creation of partnership

Thanks for the reply
This is what I am doing.
Settings->Connections->BlueTooth
On Mode tab. Turn On Bluethooth
Click Device Tab
Click new partnership
Pharos iGPS-BT shows up. I select and say next
I check the serial Port service and click save
I click on Com Ports tab
I click on new Outgoing Port
I select My GPS and select Com6
I have tried with the "Secure connection" on and off
Click Finish
Now the comm port tab shows
Pharos iGPS-BT (COM6)
New Outgoing Port
New Incoming Port
Click Ok to close the BlueTooth manager
Click X to close the settings window
Run Tom Tom
Click on the GPS Bars to get to the status summary
Click on the bars again to get to GPS Status
Click COnfigure
Select Other Bluetooth GPS
Press Continue on next screen
Now all the shows up is
BT UART
COM2:
Serial Cable on COM1:
COM9:
Ir on COM3:
So I can not select Com6 as it is not in the list.

i have the problem....
can,t anyone welp. pls

think i have a solution
slammers et al,
switch off 'Receive all incoming beams' in Settings, Connections, Beam.
in Settings, Connections, Bluetooth, Services select Serial Port - in mine 3 are ticked:
Enable service
Authentication(Passkey) required
Encryption required.
click Advanced, Inbound COM Port is 5, Outbound COM Port is 6.
switch on your bluetooth GPS receiver.
open Bluetooth Manager and double tap your GPS receiver, if it's not in Bluetooth Manager then pair the device and create a serial connection by clicking New, Explore a Bluetooth device, select your device to make a serial connection shortcut.
start TomTom, go to 'Change preferences', Show GPS status, Configure, select 'Other Bluetooth GPS' and select Serial port 6....click done....in the GPS Status window you may see that it is connected....if not do the next step.
click done, exit application.
soft reset device.
switch your bluetooth gps receiver off then on.
start TomTom, leave it for 30 seconds....it should connect to your GPS device...if you have the older TomTom GPS receiver you'll be able to tell that it's made a connection by the constant blue light being displayed on the gps receiver.
if you have no luck with selecting 'Other Bluetooth GPS' try selecting 'Other Cable NMEA GPS', choose GPS baud rate 4800 and then 'Bluetooth Serial Port 6' in the TomTom configuration screen.
i know it's a bluetooth device but this has been a problem prior to version 5.10 of the tomtom software and people have had success using this option and connecting.
i've had success with a few different configurations and have helped a few people get theirs working.....also there is a claire on this board who i went through a painstakingly long back an forth post with and i'm still not sure if she got it working....but i've just learned how to get mine working where it turns on the bluetooth automatically and switches it off also...and prior to this post i had it connected using the 'Other Cable NMEA GPS' instead of Other Bluetooth GPS....so good thing i turned it on and messed with my config while trying to explain how to modify yours.
good luck.

no... mobile 5 have the BT like qtek s100.. very simple.... :shock:

GPS Data out of XDA Serial Port

I have a Tomtom Bluetooth GPS I need to get GPS information from the XDA to connect to a APRS system. I need to get the following information from the serial port GPS Data Out, GPS Data In & GPS ground.
Has any one got any idea how i can get this information out of the Serial port. Any help appreciated...
Thanks Stuart

hi
It'll be hard.
It's impossible to achieve without special software (which I don't know about).
The software would have to receive GPS data from bluetooth com port (eg. com8) and channel it to software com port (for TomTom) and to hardware com port (bottom xda connector).
I assume You won't be able to write such program.
My suggestion is to get a second GPS recevier (cheapest serial GPS mouse) to serve your APRS (whatever it is )
Good luck.

Using Artemis as GPS receiver for Windows

Hi!
Is there a way to use the GPS receiver that is built into the Artemis as a GPS Device for Windows (XP or Vista).
Maybe over Bluetooth or USB / ActiveSync connection.
I tried to set up Bluetooth COM Ports so Incoming BT connections connect directly to the GPS COM port, but without success... no gps data was coming through.
Also I search for a small tool to test the receiver... just a compass or something.
regards,
Daniel

You cannot just "bridge" the GPS com port to your desktop OS via BT. The BT stack was never designed that way. All BT com ports you use must have a piece of software behind it to fill it with data, or otherwise they are just empty cans.
In your case, you need a GPS splitter to get gps signals from the GPS com port, and then repeat it to a BT com port so that the other end can receive such signal. That will provide a working bridge for your data.
Try software such as gpsgate that works as described above.

Hello, you can try GPS2Blue is a little free program that will let you use your Artemis as a GPS.
You can find it here: http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
Enjoy.

i got myself GPS2Blue and installed it.
My problem now is, that i cannot set up a BT COM port!
I have the (german) B&Bv3 ROM (WM6). In Bluetooth Settings in the "COM Ports"-Tab. It says "Tap on 'New outgoing port' ..." but theres no button or something. Just the describing text and an empty ListBox.
since I cannot set up my COM port, GPS2Blue won't swich on right?
So... is this a WM6 bug or a B&B Bug or my brain-bug
Setting up COM ports in my firmware WM5 OS worked just fine.
Thanks you guys for the info!
but what to do now?

GPSgate can do what you want (but it is not free)

gpsgate can set up bluetooth com ports? i dont think so
this is not a gps problem anymore!
i posted a new thread for my new problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315687

GPSGate can do it!!
Use this is the registration key:AmzeaBjw
Then your Artemis can pass GPS information to your PC through Bluetooth

Fransons GPS Gate will enable the sharing of GPS position to a number of different types of device, I am not too sure about posting a registration key for purchased software as these are specific to an individual user??? - Mike

Use Artemis as GPS Reciever for PC?

Is there a Programm to use the Artemis als Bluetooth GPS Reciever on a PC?
I don't know if this is possible but it would be nice. I dont want to buy a gps dongle for my laptop when the artemis can do it. ^

if you're going to use pc inside a building there is very little chance that you'll get any gps signal at all. if it's a laptop and you want to run around with it outside, that should be ok. i don't know any software for it but keep looking.

Franson GPS Gate should do the job

I use Franson GPSgate works over bluetooth and activesync

Use GPS2Blue, it's Freeware and does the job too.

hibut how toconfigure it that artemisworks line bt gps?

Establish a bluetooth connection over bluetooth using a serial port. Open GPS2Blue and set it to Com4 for GPS and 4800 Baud and select the right com port you are using for the bt-serial connection. Should work.
