1. Download and install GPS6 This will install and enable the GPS Driver
2. Download and install Microsoft Smartphone GPSID this will allow you to configure your GPS settings (com ports, speed etc)
3. Reboot your device then pair your GPS Receiver
I think by defalt the GPS uses com6, I use garmin too, I have the GPS paired before I start the App.

Have had my Orange SPV M2000 for the past month & neither TomTom support or Orange have been able to resolve:
TomTom Navigator 3 shows "GPS Disabled" at the Settings> System> GPS> gps> screen the device shows "TomTom Wireless GPS" in the top box & "Bluetooth GPS" in the box below. The large 'button' to their left is grey/blue, but it does not respond to selection.
Does anyone USE TomTom + TomTom Wireless GPS on their Blue Angel?
Having used TomTom on my previous XDA2 & SPV M1000 have tried EVERYTHING to get it working...resets, re-loaded TomTom, Bluetooth sees the TomTom GPS & works with my BT headset

I've had this problem with XDA2 and with a rom prior to SE.
Never knew why I couldn't enable TomTom Wireless GPS , but you might wanna try enabling a standard NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth driver. It should/might work also.
Ever since i installed 2003SE I can enable TomTom Wireless GPS

How/where can I get 'NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth driver'
Thanks

It works fine for me with a Tomtom Bluetooth and Tomtom 3 on my XDAiis
Lots of questions, hopefully one will point you in the right direction -
1. Have you ued the updated version of tomtom and the tomtom GPS driver, the Blueangel is a WM2003SE device and will not work without the patch. v3.07 from tomtom download
Mine cam with 2 CD's, I installed Tomtom from the update CD with v307 and the maps/voices etc from the normal CD.
2. Does the GPS pair OK with yuor PDA, can you see it in the "Bluetooth Manager" as a device, can you conect to it from here
3. Have you tried running the standalone "GPS" application installed with TomTom rather than the full app, go to the HW tab at the bottom of this and ensure Bluetooth device selected and hit the tick button
4. Does the GPS unit work with any other applications like Navio from tiny stocks - they have a demo you can try
5. What colour and flash rates are the LEDS are on the GPS
If you cant figure it out post answers to the above Q's and I'll try and help
Cheers Wayne
Check the settings in the bluetooth manager to see which outgoing bt com port is in use. Mine was doing this until I checked this to see it was using com6. I then set the GPS second drop down box to com6 and all was well.
Also make sure you are using the latest Nav and GPS version from tomtom.com (v 3.07 I think).

2. Does the GPS pair OK with yuor PDA, YES paired but fails: Unable to establish a connection...
3. Have you tried running the standalone "GPS" application installed with TomTom - simply fails to recognise GPS
4. Does the GPS unit work with any other applications - GPS works fine with my old SPV M1000 (tried again now)
5. What colour and flash rates are the LEDS are on the GPS - Blue twice a second, Green every second

As it just worked for me I'm stuck. Only other thoughts are:
Do you have any other serial devices or use GPSGate in use or are you using Bluetooth Activesync?
Try deleteing the device in the Bluetooth managher and re pair, I dont have authentication selected in the properties in the Bluetooth settings.
When I said try the GPS with a different application I meant on the Blueangel, Navio is another GPS program
Good luck
Hello, I have installed TomTom Navigator 5 in my Qtek s200, but I can't connect it with the bluetooth GPS if the telephone is switched off.
Tomtom runs ok, but doesn't find GPS device.
If I switch on the telephone there isn't any problem, tomtom runs ok and find the GPS device.
I have used tomtom, and dell GPS bluetooth GPS reveivers.
Someone knows if is there a solution to use the GPS with the telephone utility switched off?
Thanks!
ive got this problem too with my xda 1 which i only use as a satnav unit
I use the xda with a wired gps but tomtom complains there is no gps device because the unit is in flight mode, even tho im not trying to use any wireless signals.
anyone help ?
thanks.
I don't know if I understand you right, but I might have an explanation for this. On my Qtek 9100, I can't use a bluetooth GPS-receiver when the device is in flight-mode. Flightmode disables all radiosignals...and since bluetooth is sort of a radio signal, it's disabled as well
A solution might be to turn off and on your device and "cancel" when you're asked to enter your SIMs PIN-code. This way, the device is not in flight mode (so bluetooth works) but the telephone-reception is disabled.
I hope this helps, if not: let me know!

yes that works but the phone device is still switched on so uses battery
the gps in question in my situation is a wired unit going directly to my old xda 1's com port so shouldnt matter if the phone or bluetooth are on or not. Even if the pda was in flight mode it shouldnt affect use of my wired gps as there are no radio signals.
seems like a 'bug' in the tomtom software that if the pda is in any kind of flight mode including the phone being off, it decides it cant communicate with any gps, no matter how its connected, as if they expect everyone to be using bluetooth gps' and just include the wired configuration as a legacy function.

Darn...sorry, I misunderstood. I'm using a bluetooth GPS-receiver myself, so I just took for granted that you also used a bluetooth device And indeed, looks like a bug...not very convenient.
--Marc
Concerning bluetooth devices:
This seems not to work with Windows Mobile 5.0.
With Pocket PC 2003 devices it is possible to use with TomTom bluetooth while in flight mode.
Here's a work around for Win 5.0:
1) Enable the phone and bluetooth in the Comm. manager.
2) Make the link to thte bluetooth gps in TomTom.
3) Disable the phone in the Comm. manager.
4) Return to TomTom.
The bluetooth link will be maintained until you exit Tomtom or try to link again.
This might also be the case with a wired gps.

since upgrading to tomtom6 my ba wont connect to my gps reciever, just says no gps device. if i reconfig it to bluetooth gps it trys to connect but wont even try with my wired gps iv even tried changing the gps. anyone got any ideas?
Which OS have you got on the BA?
If its WM2003SE have you gone to BT manager found the GPS unit tap and hold, then select "Connect" - BEFORE trying to configure the GPS in TT.
If its WM2005 have you selected the serial port mode and then set the outgoing Com port? - again this must be done BEFORE trying to configure the GPS in TT. - Mike
tomtom gps
im trying to use a wired gps reciever
In which case go to Start/ Settings/ Connections Tab select IrDA or Beam once in this page deselect the "Recieve all beams" check box, then try again with the TT unit (the IrDA stops the Com port from working) - Mike
job done
many thanx, wish i'd of asked before buying a new cradle and gps lol.
Hello there.
I have a GPS Receiver (is not a bluetooth GPS) from Falk Navigator 2. No CD's, no Maps, only the GPS and the cables.
I use another navigation system (I-Go) because has maps for Eastern Europe.
My problem: I don't know how to connect the GPS to the navi software.
The navi-software does not auto detect the GPS, tried all settings available with the navigation software.
Is there a Windows setting that it should be made before using the navigation ?
Lots of thanks.
buy bt gps.
Do you have a cable that connects between the com port on the PDA to the GPS?
If so connect this and go to Settings/ Connections Tab/ Beam and make sure the Recieve all beams check box is NOT selected (by default it is checked), this is known to prevent connection via a wired receiver - Mike
Does Garmin XT works on Hermes?
Hermes is not on list of Garmin XT compatible devices. Maybe because only devices with internal GPS receiver are listed.
Anyone using Hermes + external GPS + Garmin XT?
Thanks for any info.
Works great. But, i also us Franson GPSgate to connect to the BT GPS and this gives me a virtual com port that Mobile XT can connect to.
I've never tried connecting Mobile XT directly to the BT.
Hope this helps,
works fine on mine without gpsgate, i connect it directly to bt
Mine works fine without gpsgate...using holux gpslim 236 bt GPS
I'm using Hermes+Garmin XT+Garmin10 GPS. And this combination works perfect. As soon as you start XT the software automatically enables BT (if it was disabled before) and shut BT down after you close XT. Which is good as you don't need to worry about the status of your BT. The only 2 problems I've experienced so far are:
1. I can't stream A2DP while using GPS (audio is choppy)
2. I can't use Windows Live Search while XT is running.
So it seems that XT tgets exclusive access to Hermes' BT with all the negative consequences.
I too have Garmin XT and i have no complaints.
