Bonding XDA II and Navman 4410

[FlashGordon1]

Hi,

Have just got my Navman and was hoping it would be a simple solution to connect to my XDA, but not so.

I've down loaded the BTHTools1012.exe and run it from my desktop, also have loaded EnableCharPin.exe onto my PocketPC.

When I do a bond bluetooth, it finds the Navman. When the passkey dialog box comes up I run EnableCharPin.exe but nothing seems to happen, so enter "NAVMAN" into orginal dialo box.

With the next step linking the COM port I only get Comm 7 as being avavible and when I run the Bluetooth settings from Inbound port is COMM4 but uncheck and Outbound is COMM5 checked. When start is pressed it says that need to bond.

Could some please help

XDA info is:
ROM: 1.60.00WWE the latest for Australia
ROM date: 12/3/03
Radio: 1.08.00
Protocol: 1337.18
ExtROM: 1.60.44

I also loaded SmartST V2 and it ran first time fast. Now it seams at the point of the PPC hanging. I,ve got the maps on a SD card (512M with about 235M free) and 24M for storage and 33M for programs on the XDA. I loaded 3 state maps totalling about 52M on the SD.


Thanks Gordon

Did you unbond and delete your navman before you installed the bluetooth tools?

[FlashGordon1]

I had Bt tools installed before I attempted to bod.

I have now also deleted BT Tools altogther but still cannot bond.

I must admit that just after my first post here I did notice that my XDA was not set to recieve "incoming beams". Activating this did not do a thing even with resets.

Thanks for your thoughts and have you got any other suggestions apart from me ring Navman on Monday (I'm in Sydney OZ).


Thanks Gordon

Its a tricky process, but mine is finally working with an XDA II, no blutooth tools and on COM 5. You definately need to DESELECT 'Receive all incoming beams" as if you are set to receive incoming beams, then it seems to interfer with the GPS set up and COM ports

Try selecting COM 5 as the port on the Navman and amke sure that "incoming beams are OFF" on the XDA.

I suggest you start over, uncheck the beams box, install bthtools, install enablecharpin, discover and bond the navman, let us know what happens.

Hi,

Well I did something along the lines of "start over, uncheck the beams box, install bthtools, install enablecharpin, discover and bond the navman" etc but not neccessarily in that order and finally got the thing to work.

Thanks for everyones comments. If I had not tried so many permitation, then I could heve been able to tell all what I actually did!

Now that the SmartST is working, my next task is to use topographic maps wth one of teh follwoing I'm about to try, GarmapCE, GPSDash, PSeasyCE etc. Any suggestions?

Glad you got it working in the end. I really like the Navman Smart ST 2 software and their tech support is very good to.

You might check out "MapTech" for topo maps and nautical charts. You can purchace CD's or a subscription that lets you download unlimited maps and charts. If you play golf, and you want to use your GPS to help you pick a club or find out the distance to that bunker in front of the green, "Star Caddy" is fun too!! :-)

Be sure to do a backup now its configured correctly, it may save some hair pulling later if you ever have to hard reset.
