Arkon (powered) with TomTom - settings?

Hi I'm new to TomTom. I've got the software and maps on my XDAIIs, The Arkon has a Sirf Xtrac v2.0 GPS. What GPS feed do I select in the TomTom setup dialog box to make this combination work?
You can see my installation here: http://www.digitaltrading.co.uk/sr20ve/xda2s.htm
Thanks Paul

GPS problem

hello guys,
i have a great problem trying to use my internal gps of my dutch mda compact III (artemis) i have installed the PDAviet B&B 4.1 rom.
the problem i am having is that the gps cannot be found by any aplication. and the status led doesnt shine/blink (never seen it working).
i know i am using the right settings (gps program: com4, gps hardware: none, baudrate: 4800, and automatic use).
i've searched al over the place(xdadev. google) and couldnt find a solution.
so please if any one knows what is wrong, or a way to test my gps device at all, tell me!! thanks in advance`!!

have same problems,
Went to tomtom website and got tomtom 6 update(01.01.07) to start with.
Seems I did it reght as I got new splash screen on tomtom start up, got back the option for selecting "integrated gps receiver" rather than having to select the Nmea option.
But still invalid signal for now

In any application you just need to setup port on com4 and baud on 57600 or 115200.
I have tomtom and it works I’ve used miomap and it worked too.
btw: tomtom detects gps automatically as internal gps.

I think it's com4 and 4800 baud and not 57600 or 115200
a+

Agree you can set it up to 4800

My O2 orbit cannot find gps signal

my version is Artemis_Touch_3.01_full, and I download the TomTom 6 from the thread of this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298
and never receive signal...
what can I do? I have download the map already...

i have an mda compact III, so i don't know if this'll help. with the newer 6.030 build it has a configuration for internal gps receiver. this wouldn't work with mine, but was what it was auto config'd to.
changed configs to - baud rate:9600, other nmea receiver, com4.
hope it helps

GPS (tomtom) stopped working all of a sudden :(

hello,
i had tomtom running on my mda compact III till a ferw days back. now when i try to run tom tom, i get an old map and the message at the bottom left saying "No GPS device" and somehow the bluelight (bluetooth ?) at the top starts flashing . i went to settings ->system (tab) --> GPS and checked the settings
GPS program port is GPD1
GPS hardware port is COM3

i googled the issue and came across the settings above at the following site
http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-a.../248572/compact-iii-gps-settings/#entry825168
the guys device works fine. can you guys tell me what has gone wrong to my GPS device

I just uninstalled tomtom navigator 6 and am reinstalling it later, but I believe these are my settings.
Other nmea reciever
Baud rate 4800
Com 4
Hardware port = 'none'.

thanks for the reply,
i tried hardware port "none" but that did not work on my xda
what was your GPS program port setting?

Go to the GPS aplet on the phone and set it as follows:
GPS Program port = COM4
GPS Hardware Port = (None) Baud Rate 4800
Manage GPS Automatically is selected
Now start the TomTom application and go to change preferences/ Manage GPS and use the selection for "Inbuilt GPS Receiver" if your software version supports this option, otherwise use Other NMEA GPS Device, Com 4, Baud 4800 and it should work fine - Mike

[Solved] XDA3 + WM6.5.5 RC5 + TomTom 7.9 + Holux CR-100-X2

Hi,
Like above in Title, i got that devices and software.
Problem is, that TomTom 7.9 cant find a GPS Device. I know definitely that the craddle Holux CR-100-X2 is working. It must be WM6.5.5
I set under Settings
Connections/external GPS/Program - connections none
Connections/external GPS/Hardware - COM1 Baudrate 4800
Connections/external GPS/Access - GPS automatic managed
I also tried various settings, but left Program NONE, but turned off Auto and used some other baudrates ... unfortunately i lost the user guide..
can someone help me pls..
EDIT:
False alarm - the fuse of the charging cable to the craddle was burnt-out. So i changed it with another one and look there, it works.
Finally settings: COM1 - program connections None - Baudrate 4800 - GPS Manage disabled.
