Hello Everybody!
I've got the following problem. I installed Tomtom 5 and can not get my Royaltek Bluetooth GPs mouse working with it. I tried much of things that are posted here but still nothing. The mouse is a Sirf III (RBT2001 of Royaltek)
With TomTom Navigator 3 i had after GPS update to version 3.07 no problems. I selected there: Sirf bluetooth device, and for connection: bluetooth GPS.
In Navigator 5 i tried also to let it communicate by assigned COM port 5, the connection light on the GPS mouse shows that it is connected to my MDAII but Navigator 5 keeps saying no GPS.
Anyone has an idea what to do, modify or use?
Thanx in advance.. really looking for at least any tips or tricks.
Greets, Remon
Am i right that i miss the option: Bluetooth GPS, what is there in TomTom Navigator version 3 and version 4.4 ??
Greets, Remon
After installing first version 4.4 and get it working there and then installiong Navigator 5 it is in some strange way just working now!!!!!

Hi there!
I'm having problems connecting the three togather. I have I-Mate Jam (or Xda Mini, or Mda Compact - all the same), Polstar PBT111 bluetooth GPS and TomTom3. I tried different ways but this bloody combination still doesn't work... Plug and Pray so to speak... I hope I'm not the only one with this problem, so can someone please tell me how its done? Thanks in advance!!
I am using tomtom 3 with unnamed bluetooth gps and its working like a dream
I had the same problems with my bluei (or something like that) gps mouse.
Then i heard on another forum that i had to rename my device to TOMTOM Bluetooth GPS (exactly) and it worked ever since....
S100 + Polstar
I have a Polstar GPS and I spend a lot of time to configure my Jam with Tomtom 3.
I have Tomtom's GPS driver version 3.07 417/421. The first step it's to know which driver to choose and the answer is NMEA 0183V2 9600 (and the 4800 it's an another possibility) not a high rate.
tomtom 3.07 GPS, JAM (1.11 big ROM) and Polstar with no problems. I had issue with Rikaline one first and changed to Polstar. First pair using the BT manager and click yes to create COM port for it (the passkey is 0000). Then start tomtom, configure GPS as bluetooth NMEA on port COM5 and you should be all set.
Guys, my Xda IIi locked up, so i had to do a hard reset. So I lost my tomtom5 installation and my bluetooth configs. Now tom tom won't work after I reinstalled it. I can connect to my GPS receiver fine via bluetooth, but when I go into tomtom, I choose Bluetooth port com6 as my device (is that right?) and it just says no GPS device! But the bluletooth connection is FINE. It has been months since I last installed tomtom so I have forgotten what I had to do to get it working. Can anyone remind me please?
Thanks
BT receiver is a GlobalSat BT-338 (sirf III)
ok guys IGNORE this thread, hope I didn't waste anyones valuable thought processing time -- all I had to do was install the 5.10 patch
Hi there!
I've recently got a M500 and I have a cellink BTG-7000 Bluetooth GPS Reciever.
I can pair the M500 & Reciever but when I go into the Tom Tom Navigator it does not find the Reciever when I go to Preferences. (there are com ports there but no matter what port I select it doesnt find it)
Any ideas why?
Hi,
I had simular probs. after pairing with another BT device. Just paired with the GPS & all was fine, so
- make sure the GPS is the last paired device
- create a com port for the GPS
- try upgrading radio
- get another BT stack
I'm having the stack from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532 but can't say it solved it or not. But it works & I can use the BT GPS & a BT earpiece at the same time.
Good luck, M
How do I create a com port for the GPS? I dont seem to have that option.
My BT stack asks me whether to create a com port for it when I pair with my GPS. Also under the BT connection settings I've got a tab which read 'COM ports'.
Cheers, M
Mine doesn't have any of these options, strange?!
I guess thats the problem, it seems my M500 doesnt let you manually assign a port.
Any ideas on a fix then?
I am on radio 1.12 & got those options from radio 1.11 on. You can try the updated BT stack from the thread 'O2 mini new BT stock'
Maybe that helP as well, otherwise upgrade your radio.
Cheers, M
Take the wired gps, baudrate 9600 en after that test some comports. It takes a while when TT detects the receiver, so hold on a bit. Most of the time it is comport 4 or 5.
what version are you using, i had similar problems,
I found that if you install version 5.1 or 5.2 straight on then it will not find the gps.
i installed the original 5.0 from cd. then got GPS working. TomTom may ask you to reset the device to configure gps [it did for me].
i then upgraded to 5.1 then 5.2 and everything works perfectly.

I initially had the same problem with my BT GPS device and tomtom 5.0, but pairing them just before loading up tomtom and setting it to COM 5 and then waiting a while seemed to solve it!
Good luck!
Got-it!
Duh!
I must have missed something here, so I'm posting this for the few people who are thicker than I must be;-
When setting the BT com port under 'Bluetooth settings', the outgoing com port selection window is blank.
HOWEVER, choose 'settings>system>bluetooth setting' and voila!, that is where you see that COM5 is pre-chosen. (Why there needs to be a double-entry is another matter?)
Hope this saves someone some time.
Hi all,
Anyone using BT GPS?
If so, which one, how do you find it, and what software are you running.
Thanks Guys..
Ratzz,
I use a holux unit, coupled with Garmin Que and GPS Proxy. It only works well wih the tytn rom. I tried it with the DOPOD rom but it keeps freezing the screen.
Another note, Using the tytn rom has eliminated my alignment issues with regards to the screen.
regards
TomTom 6 & a Fortuna GPSlim.
Takes a little while to sort itself out when TomTom starts, but seems fine after a couple of minutes.
I cant use Tom Tom cause of the malaysian Map not being available
I'm using Holux GPSlim 236 with Destinator 6 when on the road and OziExplorer when roaming in nature.
yes I do
Using a Xloc and tomtom 6
Work great
Holux GPSlim 236 with Tomtom 5 (I am about to upgrade) and PTGmap for topo maps in Garmin format.
Using Destinator 6 (yep, I work in Destinator) with a large variety of BT GPS: GNS, Royaltek, Globalsat, Emtec and some others.
Do not forget that after you pair a GPS using MS BT manager, you also need to enable an outgoing portfor this connection.
I'm using Tom Tom 6 with Hamlet gps BT and it's ok!!!

I am using Iguidance with the Globsat 338 Its ok, the only problem is that if a call comes through, you have to restart the program.
Which one is the fastest and smallest SirfIII-based BT GPS unit you would suggest for TomTom?
Fortuna Clip-on for me, used with iGo on my m3100, although I have also used it with tomtom on previous pda's. Will upgrade tomtom and put that on a memory card shortly.
I'm using a Navilock BT338 GPS Mouse (SIRF3), which works perfectly together with my MDA3,MDApro and MDA Vario2 as well! I'm using it with TT5.21 for more than a year, and will upgrade to TT6 (just tested, works fine too!) soon.
The navilock keeps contact to satellites which are not seen/found by several others, can even be kept in your pocket and works without problems behind thermo-windows in cars! It is very small and is working over a whole day without loading, standby more than a week, and ist very easy to set up (connect to COM4).
Hi,
I have a new Orange SPV M3100. It is a replacement for one which was damaged. Prior to to exchange I was running navigator 6 on the old phone with a navicore bluetooth gps receiver fine. I have installed tomtom navigator 6 on my new phone but there is no way I can get a GPS signal. The gps receiver is connected. I then try to connect via tomtom and nothing. Have followed instructions on this link to no avail:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=1402&SID=0&CID=223&Language=1&FID=4806
The problem is that when trying to select a port there are no bluetooth serial ports listed. I have spent 2 days trying to get this sorted to no avail. any help would be appreciated.
turn on bluetooth,make sure tomtom is not running,and go to bluetooth settings,search for devices and pair with the gps unit.
then assign the device a port,i always choose 9 and close.restart phone start tomtom and setup gps device as other etc and port 9 should show and hopefully the jobs oxo!
i hope this helps
great instructions...
only one thing to add, on a certain build of Tomtom (i forget which i have used every build since version 2 IIRC)
i had to tell tomtom that i was using "Other NMEA GPS Reciever"
On all other builds i have had to do the same steps to pare the BT GPS device, followed by making the OUTGOING Com port and then tell TomTom i was using "Other Bluetooth GPS Reciever" in order to get it working...
if your having problems see if one or the other device can make the difference ONCE YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
