Please help me....
Gps viewer can find gps with com4.
but gps can not find a satellite without a red dot(29)
I have the same issue, i'm starting to think it has to do with the rom i have as it was upgraded to windows mobile 6 and there is no GPS in system settings, only external gps...

Greetings,
I have tomtom navigator installed on my XDA IIs and i have polstar bluetooth GPS, BT 111, they both work fine and excellent, but the problem is, the next time when i switch on the bluetooth gps and tomtom on my XDA, tomtom doesnt detect the gps itself, I mean i have to delete the bluetooth entry in the bt manager of XDA and i have to add this new bt connection and all the bt setup again, why is it, can someone please tell me the solution to it, i mean like is it possible tht everytime i switch on tomtom on XDA it automatically detects my bt gps receivers.
Plz, thanks in advance
cheers
First of all make sure you have TomTom Navigator version 5,21 loaded on the device. Then create th ebond between the devices, and set TomTom up to use "Other Bluetooth GPS". If you have done all this how long are you waiting for the XDA to switch on the BT and find the GPS? it can take upto 45 seconds on some devices, if you need TTN5,21 download it from www.tomtom.com as it is free - Mike
I'm running TTN 5.21 on my XDA IIs with no problems, I don't even need to do anything with the bluetooth, it automatically turns on the bluetooth when I start TTN and turns it off when I close, and it automatically picks up my TT BT GPS dongle. Although there is a max 5 min wait to get a valid GPS signal.
I installed the 5.0 version then used the update from the web site afterwards.

Hi there,
Is there a way i can test if the gps chipset on my new p3300 is working properly?. I installed Iguidance but it will never get a fix although it does auto detect the gps port . I ran quickgps over wifi and despite downloading the latest fixes, Iguidance fails to get a fix
I am looking for any freeware appz which can just tap into the gps receiver and start spitting some data so i can be assured its not the gps module but Iguidance. Something like a gps viewer which displays the # of sats, lat n longitudes etc.
I appreciate any help I can get as I have only 2 more days before i can get this device exchanged.
Thanks in advance!~
btw, I am running Wm6 using B&b3.7 rom
Search on google for visualgpsce.
Bye
Grab a copy of the TT GPS Driver 2,06 from here http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=13 install that as it is an application in its own right.
Fire up the application on the Artemis and select the GPS tab in the application Use the following Settings:
Top drop down box "NMEA 0183v2 9600"
Second drop box "COM4"
Make sure the two sliders in the middle of the screen are to the right, then check the grey/ blue box top left, return to the "Status" tab and take the unit outside, you should see some activity and get a position fix after a couple of mins - Mike
Thank you guys so much..
After running the app, i got 12 sats in view and 7 fix. So w00t, the gps chip is working.
Now to figure out whats wrong with iguidance
Thanks again...
Not too sure about that app as I have not tried it (yet) - does the GPS hardware actually start when you fire up the application - if you can configure it to use COM4, Baud 9600 do so and try it again. The indication the GPS has fired up is down to the LEDs on the device, once started it will flash orange to signify its in use. If this doesn't happen you might need to look into using Fransons GPS Gate to present a virtual GPS port to the application - Mike
Well, I do see the orange light blinking when Iguidance is running but still sees no sat's.
I even upgraded to V3.01 and same issue. Also tried Franson gate app and no luck.
I could try tomtom since that appz does see the sats and gets a fix ( tried it using a free US map) but i am having trouble loading the N.A+canada map since i don't have the cab file for it just the extracted map files which Tomtom HOME will refuse to load unless its a cab file i believe
Off to google to hunt on instructions on how to make cab files...
last time i checked iguidance v3 wasn't compatible with the artemis.
Oh ic. I did come across a couple of posts reflecting the same .
Oh well..I loved the map loader feature of Iguidance. Sad to see its gone in the upcoming V4.
Anyways I got tomtom running.. i was suppose to have the maps in the root folder of the memory card not in a sub-folder !
This is driving me nuts...
I have TomTom 7 and choose "Built-in-Receiver". Received good GPS signal last night for like 10 minutes after installing the official ROM. Then it stopped working ever. It always says "No GPS Receiver" or "Waiting for GPS Signal", both in-house and in open-sky areas. Any help? Am I just in bad luck that Sprint sold me a Touch with a poor GPS chip?
i think that is not enough info . you a have to list atleast provider,rom ,radaio version
same problem... kind of anyway
i have TomTom 7.45 installed also on
Touch
CPU: Qualcomm 7500 @400MHz
PPC 6.1
Bell Mobility CDMA
ROM: 3.02.651.2
Radio: 3.42.30
PRI: 1.33_007
When i start TT7 it will say "no GPS device!" it doesn't matter if i choose the "built-in GPS receiver" or the "other NMEA GPS receiver"
the only way i can get it to get/recognize GPS is to start GPS Viewer first, then start TT7. This is kind of stupid.
tho when i start Google Maps, no problem, it recognizes the GPS no problem...
(and yes, i have tried reinstalling the ROM, the applications...etc.)
any help would be appreciated.
Tomtom 7 does not have GPSID support and thus needs a program to open the GPS com port first. The best way to do this is AstroGPSLauncher, it's a simple cab file install and you'll have no more issues. Google and or search for it, it's at the forum here.
great... thank you.....

I have Garmin installed on mine and it work fine. It should detect the GPS receiver once program is loaded. If not then check Tools>Settings>System>Remote GPS and see if Com4: Com4: is displayed.
I use Garmin too..and i have not figured out what makes it work.
Fact is, that when i install it and run it for the first few times, it does not work but then it starts working..crazy stuff going on and i am still trying to figure out what triggers it

Are you trying this at home? GPS usually doesn't work in buildings. I use iGo8 and have no problem at all with it but outside or in a car. Try going out and the use it- it should work...just wait some time to get connected with a satellite and before doing that download the positions of the satellites with quickGPS. In that way the whole process is faster
Garmin
Psycomatis,is this a new install of garmin and ask you to connect to bluetooth gps receiver?
Garmin.

Hi everyone....I have a P3300 and I have to say I'm really dissapointed of the gps unit...Since I didn't find the maps for TomTom, I copied of my old gps unit the IGO8 app...the thing is that the gps starts very very slowlly, even on TomTom or any other gps app...In fact it takes about 10min to give some coordinates plus when I'm in the house or any building it only shows the sattelites but no connection....does anyone else have this problem???is it just my p3300???
hey, guys...I'm looking for oppinions, user facts not state secrets...doesn't anyone have a p3300 anymore??
Hi, i know the thread is old, but i was doing a search about GPS fixing issue on Artemis before opening my 3d and i found this one.
The problem you described is the normal behavior of your integrated GPS or it happens only in some days/periods??
