Problem with QTEK 202 and GPS BT EMTAC

[Anonymous]

:(

I have problems of loose of connection between my qtek 202 and my GPS BT EMTAC antenna.

I upgraded the rom of my PPC to 1.7202FRA

Any solution?

Have the same issue here!
But I don't loose the connection all the time. And it doesn't matter in my case whether I choose for TomTom wireless GPS, Emtac Wireless GPS or NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth.

Haven't tried it yet with 3.03 or 3.07 of TT3 GPS driver.

Regards,
Mark

I got no problems with that

How do you know the connection is lost?
Could it be the know issue of asking a too big data throuput from the SD card (where obviously your maps & poi files are stored)?
If this is the case the isue occurs when eg. your speed is getting over a certain 'threshold'. This thresholp is determined bu the data-throuput capabilities of the SD-card (higher speed = more data/sec because of map movements).

Especially with the Himalaya the data-throughput of the SD-slot is limited. Some SD-Cards have more issues than others. Both my Kingston 256MB and my SanDisk 512MB make TTN3 freeze when the data-stream reaches the limit.
I know it is the data-throughput: Start TomTom GPS and to a testdrive. It will keep working, so nothing wrong with the BT connection.


Work-around:
1. limit the data-stream by unchecking all POI
OR
2. put your maps & poi in storage memory (limited by size!!)


There are some threads on this both here as on www.pocketgpsworld.co.uk

Many thanks for your answer.

I have only 2 poi checked.

Do you mean that i have to store the maps on a 256 mb storage card and not a 512 one

Sometimes the blue LED on my Holux starts flashing as it does when he doesn't find a PDA to connect to. TT continues but the data he thinks is receiving in incorrect.

What I do is : uncheck the box on the gps window (the one next to "Bluetooth gps" or "NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth"), check it again and the connection is restored.

Gringo,
you can download BTHTOOLS1100.zip from :
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/BTHTools1100.zip and install it

i've used i-mate rom172 + emtac bt gps for more than 7 months, and initially had the same problem, but then somewhere in this forum i found a thread mentioning about this and this solution (using bthtools) was adviced .

i'm now using xdaIIs and having no problem at all in connecting with the emtac bt gps.

hope it can help you
