:?: I'm having problems getting TomTom5 to work with my Bluetooth GPS receiver. The seriel pot of the GPS can only be set to com port 5 or 6 - and those ports are not available in TomTom. I assume that some ports are in use by other applications - but how can I find/remove them ? Anyone know how to see the assigned ports in windows mobile 5 :?:

I'm awaiting my new Skoda Octavia Scout the next days, cause the Factory BT Handsfree from Cullmann was unable to get a stable connection to my Hero/ Artemis i cancelled it and plan to use a Funkwerk Dabendorf ego Flash.
But there will be a possibility to use TMC on an Hero/ Artemis to via an BT TMC reciever from gns soon (for the german speaking guys in here: http://www.pocketnavigation.de/news/view_1005/1.1.10.html) which i would like to use, too.
Edit: GNS TrafficBox FM9BT RDS TMC Receiver with Bluetooth
Optimizes TMC reception by connecting to the vehicle’s radio antenna
Designed for reception of digital traffic information via TMC
Allows dynamic navigation with suitable navigation software
Data transmission via Bluetooth
Alternatively with DIN / ISO or FAKRA plug
Power supply 3.3–14 V
So my question is: can the Artemis/ Hero (t-mobile branded) handle 2 BT connections at a time (Handsfree und TMC or TMC/GPS mouse?).
Thanks, Flocky
I currently have a Wizard and quite often have my BT GPS unit and my BT Headset connected and both work fine together, so I see no reason for the Artemis to be different, or at least I hope that is that case as I will be getting one next moth as I can't afford a Kaiser.
I have a programe on my laptop that needs a GPS signal. Is there a programe for my HTC P3300, or a way, so I can use my HTC built in GPS via a USB cable to my laptop, as a external GPS.....
I use Franson's GPSgate to use my artemis gps signal on my laptop, albeit over bluetooth rather than USB
Gpsgate
Even I use Franson's GPSgate to use my Artemis as external GPS with my laptop over bluetooth. Works flawlessly.
First off all; thanks for your reply’s!
I found out yesterday in some old thread's to use GPS2Blue, and it's all for free:
Step1:
http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
Step2:
Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 2 must be installed (note: Microsoft releases .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 which can be easily installed on storage card...):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2F-07B5-4A8C-8A44-B4E1B196D5C0&displaylang=en
Step3:
www.HW-group.com, to create, on your PC, virtual COM ports from TCP/IP Because I don't have bluetooth yet...
http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html
Step4:
How to use with TCP/IP over USB?
1.On the PC, install HW VSP (version 3.0.23 or newer). Choose the standalone application installation.
2.Connect the PDA to the PC with an USB cable.
3.On the PC, run HW VSP.
-In Settings tab: check "TCP Server Mode" and,
to avoid unwanted traffic, uncheck "NVT Enabled".
-In Virtual Serial Port tab: set the Port Name (the port
to be created on the PC, it must be a free COM port not already
used on the PC; for example COM9). Set IP Address to
0.0.0.0 and Port to 31873.
Note: to accept only data from the PDA, instead of 0.0.0.0
you can put the IP address of the PDA obtained with the "What's my
IP" menu item of GPS2Blue.
-Click on Create Com.
4.On the PDA, run GPS2Blue.
-Set the GPS COM port (it's the COM port that Windows Mobile
uses for GPS communication. It depends of your PDA model). You can
choose the GID port if available.
-Set the communication Speed of the GPS COM port (depends of
your PDA model, usually 4800). I use 38400. Don't ask me
whey, but it works great!
-Check TCP/IP box (and uncheck BT box).
-Click the On button.
Note: if everything is OK, Bytes: xxx will increase in GPS2Blue and Rx Counter will increase in HW VSP.
5.On the PC, run your GPS software.
-Set the COM port to the once created by HP VSP (COM9 in our example).
-Set the speed to the once set in GPS2Blue (4800 in our example).
-Start the connection.
I'm a pilot, and I tested everything yesterday in the aircraft on PocketFMS (http://www.pocketfms.com/), flying from Copenhagen to Aberdeen, AND IT WORKS FANTASIC ON MY LAPTOP USING MY HTC P3300 AS A EXTERNAL GPS RECEIVER!!!!!!
And because the HTC is attached via the USB to the laptop, it uses the battery of the laptop as an external power!!!.
HAVE FUN!
Great solution ! I have tested it with Mobile Navigator 5 at my PC
A little problem , Software(Mobile Navigator) wouldn't detect Virtual COM , i have to change COM port settings in INI file
Artemis + GPS2Blue = 1 great BT GPS receiver
I also installed GPS2Blue on my Artemis, paired my Artemis with its old big brother XDA II (my old trusty Himalaya) and now my XDA II has a new lease on life as an excellent PND.
The Artemis feeds it GPS signals to XDA II via GPS2Blue using Serial Port Profile, and iGo8 on XDA II autodetects an external GPS receiver... and voila ! kick-ass portable navigation device...and the kicker is...I got my Artemis for 31 bucks plus inflated shipping (on eBay-fleabay, of course)

Hi, could you please post a rough guide on how to do this? I'm burning my brain cells trying to get GPS2Blue to work, but I'm having no luck whatsoever... (HTC Polaris, not the Artemis...)
Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody
I would like to connect my HTC TyTn II to a device which is using a RS232 for a serial connection. The software I need is running under Windows Mobile 6.1. So what I need is a device to "convert" the USB into a RS232. For PC such things are can be easily bought but I have not yet found something similar for Windows Mobile 6.1 and MiniUSB.
Have I overlooked something (maybe it was to obvious) or do those device really not exist ?
Can you guys help ?
Thanks
Michael
Hm, I believe you can do COM connections over bluetooth (I believe the phone simulates a COM port over bluetooth). You might want to look for a Bluetooth to COM adaptor (don't know whether this exists, though).
even if you found a converter and one could just use one of the many rs232 to normal usb dongles and then a usb to miniusb converter
but it would never work
because to use those conveters the device is required to support usbHost which HTC TyTn II don't
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
