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.

anyone can tell me how to download the map coming with garmin into xdaII and use it (xdaII) as GPS with tomtom or any other tools
Tomtom comes with its own maps, all you need is a connecting lead from the garmin to the xda2. It will use com 1 so make sure in settings/connections/beams that the beams box is unchecked.
You can't use Garmin maps with TomTom, map format is completely different.
I use my Garmin GPS V as GPS receiver in combination with TomTom.
But the features of the Garmin GPS software are much more advanced than TomTom's. TomTom is ok for driving from point a to point b, but you can't create your own routes on the pc, like with the Garmin Mapsource software.
It's a pitty Garmin doesn't make GPS software for the Pocket PC...
thanks cruisin-thru but do tom tom have maps for saudi arabia
thanks joe,
I am using garmin 3+
Khalid, I dont think so, however any nmea compliant mapping program will work with your garmin/xda2 and the proper cable.
Thanks cruisin
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 maps on micro sd
europe .....united states ..... canada
All working great with 1000's of pois and traffic cameras
Just need to know how to make garmin xt use the built in gps rather than the garmin external bluetooth antenna...
please help...!
So does anyone have TOM TOM maps loaded on a SD card to use as GPS instead of having to connect to a GPS unit with their WING?
I saw a guy once who had the whole Tom Tom setup on his MDA and had all the maps loaded on his mem card to access them.
Any thoughts guys?
I´m not sure what you are going after here but if you have the TomTom dvd it will install maps to your SD card and you can access them without having a GPS unit, and plan routes. You cannot however use it to navigate in realtime since the Wing doesn´t have built-in GPS reciever. For that to work you wold need a bluetooth GPS receiver.
Ok so im looking to get a navigation gps program for my mogul, My question is, since i have the update rom 3.56 with windows mobile 6.1 with gps will i have to purchase a bluetooth reciever to use lets say the garmin mobile xt or copilot live 7 to work?
hmmm still waiting, can anyone help?
No. It should "just work".
With the newest ROM update, I heard they put the drivers to enable GPS so you would not need an external bluetooth GPS Receiver.
I use iGuidance on mine (DCD 3.2.5 rom) and it works great.
