Tom Tom 3 Bluetooth

Hi Guy's

I'm getting a "GPS Disabled" on the fron screen when TOmTom3 loads, any ideas.

If you have no GPS hardware connected, it's normal :-).

The case is probably what the text says: GPS disbled.
Solution: run TomTom Wizard or TomTom GPS.
In TomTom GPS select correct port (probably COM5 OR Bluetooth GPS) and type (try NMEA ....Bluetooth)

What GPS do you have and have you configured TomTom to use it in the GPS Applet?

These are my settings on a QTEC 2020 (XDA2 clone) running Pocket PC 2003 Windows Mobile edition,
I have TomTom 3.03 Navigator and the TomTom bluetooth reciever.
The below presumes you have already Bonded the Bluetooth reciever, and your PDA mode is set to Discoverable before you start.
(See below for instructions if in doubt **)

Goto TomTom GPS (Start, Settings, System, GPS), click the GPS tab and the top box should read "TomTom Navigator GPS",
and the second box should read "Bluetooth GPS". Make sure you you click the box next to these settings to complete, a tick is added.
Please note your TomTom reciever must be swithched on prior to doing this.
To check completion after this click on the Satus box and you should see some activity and sats recieved! :)

**To bond your Bluetooth reciever with your PDA.

Hope this sorts you out.. :D

Tried the wizard and now it works, I was using it on another XDA 2 and was concerned that it was only restricted to that device after the intial use.
