BT GPS NAVMAN issues

[j4ffa]

Hi all, awesome forum by the way, helped me out a lot.

I had Tomtom navigator 5 working on my BA fine, but fiddled too much and now it doesnt. Ive hard reset the BA and re-installed Tomtom (ver 5.00), as well as the Char recognition tool and the Pocket bluetooth tools (recommended on these forums) that helped make the thing work in the first place. Now Tomtom doesnt recognise hte GPS module and, when paired, when i quit out of Tomtom either there is no data sent/recieved from the paried Navman connection or BT just turns itself off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as its drivin me nuts.

cheerz :P

Make sure you have the GPS paired with the BA, make sure its using the Bluetooth OutGoing connection port, and that the serial port profile is selected, once this is done go to BT manager tap and hold the GPS icon from the pop-up select connect.
Then run up TomTom, select other cable NMEA GPS, set the Baud rate and Com Port, take i toutside and wait for it to start up, if the little black/ Yellow disk isn't spinning (top rh corner of the GPS page in TT) then you have a setting wrong somewhere, one other thing is to consider upgrading to vs5,1 or 5,21 otherwise you are forced to use the inbuilt hardware keyboard, the new versions give you an on screen keyboard, its just easier to use - Mike
