iGuidance 2.1.1 crashing iMate (Resolved!!)

[userinput]

Greetings,
If anyone has any suggestions regarding this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've tried a number of hard resets and configurations but I always end up with the same problem!

The problem:
Once iGuidance is configured to use my bluetooth GPS device on com5, the iMate hangs. From this point on, iGuidance hangs the OS every time it is launched (well right after the safety warning dialog...). I have to soft-reset.

My setup:
-iGuidance version 2.1.1
-iMate is running official iMate rom 1.72.00WWE (WM2003)
-GPS is Holux GPSlim236 via bluetooth SPP on com5.
-Installation is done via ActiveSync 3.7.1.

Things I have tried:
-verified that GPS works using Holux GpsViewer software
-configure iGuidance GPS port manually
-allow iGuidance to autodetect GPS port
-install after hard reset. Installation attemps via IR and USB...
-load maps from main memory
-load maps from sd card
-manually run 'findgps' in iNav folder and then launch iGuidance.

Try installing Pocket Bluetooth Tools (http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/). Then give it a try. You'll most likely use Com7.

Wow, that's awesome. Thanks a lot! COM7 seems to have taken care of everything! Do you know of a reason why COM5 causes problems?

Please share your experiences with iguidance 2.1.1. I've got one original copy in the mail, coming to me right now and I'm eager to see it it work properly under WM5 (as the 2.0 did). If it don't, I'll revert back to WM2003.

So far I've planned a couple of very short trips and it seems to be routing and re-routing well. I don't drive much and this is my first experience with GPS but I like iGuidance so far!

It's working perfectly under WM5! GREAT.
