yea was wondeing how would u enable the unit to be able to be used as a gps device and software nessaary
There is no GPS hardware built in. You need to use a bluetooth gps receiver and software with maps like TomTom mobile.
thanks so tom tom will work for USA use..also any car cradle options
I have tom tom and gps 2 google earth.
I want to use tom tom for navigation and gps2googleearth to save my path.
The problem is that only one program can access the virtual serial port of the bt gps receiver (holux gpslim).
I have used the registry hack to show the GPS icon at settings->connections.
My gps is at COM7.
I created a virtual port (COM8) in order to allow more than one program to access the GPS.
The think is that some programs work at COM8 but TomTom doesn't. (it only works with the real port 7...)
Is there any way to do that ?
Thanks.
I have garmin xt working on my artemis but it needs a genuine garmin gps10 bluetooth aerial to work.
is there any way of getting garmin to connect with the built in gps......
ps how do you copy garmin sd card maps..after copying all the files from one sd card to another the unit miraculously recognises it as a copy ?????
me too, i'm also interested if garmin xt will work with the internal gps. i couldn't get it working on my artemis....would be great if someone knows a howto...
The problem with Garmin programs is that they look for Garmin formatted data stream from the GPS. The Artemis GPS provides a standard NMEA data stream. The only way to make Garmin work is to install a GPS port translation program, like GPSGate. It allows to direct the GPS output to a port the Garmin software will see and translate it to Garmin format. There is a freeware program that does the same, but at the moment I don't remember the name
I used garmin 2.90 with GPSgate and internal GPS, but I wasn't able to do it with XT, I wish there is a way, but I'm not sure GPSgate can do it. Because as far as I know, GPSgate creates a virtual port for garmin with the secret no. that your gps sends to your device, but that's not possible with XT because it does not give you the option to change ports, it automatically searches your bluetooth port.
Hi,
Does anyone recommend and GPS navigation products for the prophet? I have been looking around, and have had conflicting views on the TomTom mobile platform.
Any recommendations?
Cheers
I'm using iGo 2006 Plus with full Europe maps on only 1 GB SD card!
This program is very fast and optical very nice, because it's based on a game engine by PDAMill!

I'm using TomTom Navigator 6 with Western Europe maps and TomTom sirfIII BT receiver without any problem.
TT6 works great for me too.
Ive also tryed Route 66 but didnt like it.
TT6 works great with a Navibe GB732 receiver
Navigon 6 works perfectly and i like it alot on my prophet.

i'm using mapking, gpsgate with holux bluetooth device= Never let me down
iGo is the best
currently using holux bt gps receiver & garmin que s/w. not much maps/programs for us here in NZ. no problems using them
Used TT6 and a SiRF Star III bluetooth antenna for a while with no problems.
I use...
Tom Tom 6 with a generic bluetooth gps receiver, with Europe and North America maps on a 4 Gb SD card. Works beautifully, starts quickly and reliably.
I usually use it in the car (with a car windshield suction mount)
I have been using Google maps (free) with a gprs/edge connection but there is no voice guidance. I have a holux slim 240 bluetooth gps receiver which works good but sometimes it takes some time to find the satellites initially.
Destinator with Hollux
A Hollux receiver and Destinator 6.x works great for me.

GPS with Prophet
Most software are not bad..Best of all is the GarminXT with BT Holux 236.
I use TT6 and an Adadpt SirfIII BT reciever.
tried numerous other nav systems, but this one works the best around all europe, IMO.
I'm a courier IRL, so i have sh*tloads of experience with satnav systems

Where are you from?
I have "normal" navigation to "on-road" and OziExplorer to bike off-road trips... It can work, but it is without voice instructions...
Thanks
