Can i use GPS of MDA Compact III on my PC?
i want to use it on google earth
Answer is yes. the MDA Compact III, just like the Artemis can be used as a GPS receiver for clients like laptops and other PDAs equiped with bluetooth. You just need to install a GPS redirector on the MDA so it can broadcast the gps signal to your laptop/pc.
Check out GPS2Blue... works well on my Artemis paired with XDA II...

Hello. I've recently bought an mda II. I had an mda i running tom tom 3 and connected a royaltek spahire mouse. I've installed tomtom3 again on the mda II but i cannot connect the gps mouse to the device.
Whenever push the connecter in. It wants to connect to the mms connection ?. I've read previous threads that recommended to set the beams of. I did this too but it didn't work. Please advice
Just got my O2 xda orbit and the GPS is great. Prob wont use gps function much though as i have tomtom go910 in my car.
When pairing the 2, i get an error from the tomtom unit saying that the phone does not support `Dial up networking`
Therefore i am unable to use the tomtom to its full potential, ie weather, traffic, cameras etc.
Surely a device such as the orbit is capable of DUN.
Tomtom list the k-jam as `compatible` with the tomtom go range so as the orbit seems much the same phone to me (apart from gps) i assu,ed it would work.
Anyone help
your problem is that the 3300 DOESN'T support the DUN profile. None of the windows mobile 5 aku3 devices do. they now use the Bluetooth PAN profile.
Until TomTom update their devices to support the PAN profile, it ain't gonna work!

try with gpsgate.
I alredy try with Gpsgate but result is the same - no go. Garmin XT software scanning the bluetooth devices and detect TomTom mk2 receiver but this is it, then just stuck at searching satelites. Anybody had the same expirience ?

Need information !?
No one with that combination ? Garmin XT + TomTom bluetooth receiver mk2 ? What is the diference between TomTom receiver and other bluetooth receivers ? I tried everything but Garmin XT wont talk to TomTom receiver. Is out there any software wheach translate TomTom BT comunication protocol to Garmin protocol. I look at specification of both receivers and i dont find where is the catch. I hope somebody tell me the trick to force TomTom receiver to talk to Garmin XT software. Gpsgate dont work with this combination.

Yes, bluetooth receiver is working on other software. Your Gpsgate setings are very strange. What is with Device ID ?

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.
Hi, I am trying to get my MDA Compact & SPV M500 to recognise my Bluetooth GPS Unit I bought recently The Unit is A Copilot BT-GPS-365E50. My problem is, I installed Mobile Bluetooth Tools and it installed with no problems. It recognises my GPS Unit, but when pairing the devices the com port setup screen flashes for a moment then disappears. I therefore cannot setup a BT Serial Port. Any suggestions? Is it the GPS Unit? Is it not compatible with my MDA. I have tried this on both my Phones and get the same result. They are both HTC Magicians. I used this process on an XDA II with no problems. I just want to get my SatNav up and running. Hope myou can help and thanks for reading..
use nav n go Igo8
sirftech
Hi!
I also use iGO 8, ith connects automatically. If you like to use tomtom for instance, then I would use the SirfTech tool to establish the connection to your BT-GPS and then run your Nav applcation.
Cheers
