Problem with GPS Reciver on Atom XDA with Tomtom

[dragsterbox]

Hello, i've installed Tomtom 5.21 and the maps and everything is Ok. but i can't make the link between my gps reciver (Royaltek Star III) and the atom XDA. I've installed the partnership in the settings but it doesn't connect with the antenna. I've seen in my other pda (ipaq hx4700 and ipaq hx2790) that there is a bluetooth manager in the connection setting but there is non in the atom XDA. Do you know what's the solution ?

Thanks

I've tried but i can't choose the port i want and if i choose another one, i can't find it in the gps settings in tomtom.

ALTHOUGH NOT IDENTICAL, HP iPAQ rw 6828 settings as follow:
[SETTINGS]>[SYSTEM]>[GPS]
This gives you acess to [HARDWARE PORT]/[SOFTWAREPORT]/[GPS AUTO CHOICE]

On the Navigator, Look for Configuration >[NMEA]>Communication Port which should match Hardware port as set above.

BlueTooth COM7 OR 6
USB Cable COM8
SERIAL COM9

Also check the protocol while pairing, BLUTOOTH>[SPP]

Ensure your device is [Discoverable]

Ensure [PASSKEY] identical both sides.

Also under NMEA [SENTENCE] will affect how much data is exchanged each time your atenna poles, GPRMC/GPGGA/GPGLL are the most common.

Hope this helps. 8)

Both have PDA/GPS forums

if you have read first post, you can understand, that the problem with TOMTOM navigator, not with OZI explorer. Then

BlueTooth COM7 OR 6
USB Cable COM8


tom-tom navigator works only with 8 bluetooth port... not with 6 or 7

Impossible, nothing's working. There's no connection between the antenna and the tomtom.

In Tomtom the avalaible ports are : com 2, com 3, com 4 and com 9

On the atom, bluetooth is in discoverable mode and i've created a partnership with the antenna. I've created an outgoing port on com 8 and for the incoming port in com0 because i can't choose com 2, com, com 4 and com 9.

I really don't know what else i could try

DRAGSTERBOX: CHECK irDA, SETTINGS /CONNECTIONS/BEAM;disable receive all incoming beams ;which should free serial port.
