Problems setting up bluetooth GPS to device.

[ChipNt]

Hello to everyone.

I have wm 6 crossbow , tomtom and a bluetooth gps revceiver (EVERMORE BT-R700).
I can connect it to the device, with password 0000 but I can't manage for TOMTOM to find it. I saw smth in settings like external gps settings. If I have to setup any com port, how can I manage to find the right port and baund speed of this gps device.

I have to say that on bt manual it doesn't say those specifications.


thank you in advance guys

hi There

i got these from some other forum

15. Using File Explorer, navigate to the .CAB file you copied to your SD card and install R-Edit
on your Pocket PC. R-Edit can be acquired from http://www.pocketfleet.homeunix.com/REGEDIT.htm
but you can also Google for any other Windows Mobile 5 Registry Editor.
16. Run R-Edit from the Programs Menu.
17. Within R-Edit, navigate to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings"
18. Within the registry key, delete the DWORD entry marked "Hide"
19. Add a DWORD entry called "Group" and give it a Value of "2"
20. Soft reset your Pocket PC.
21. On your Pocket PC, go to Settings > Connections to ensure that the GPS icon is there.
If it is not then I can only apologise but it may not be possible to get TomTom working with
your GPS device. It is necessary for TomTom to see a specific GPS serial port that can
(as far as I can tell) only be set by this GPS connection program. After you have paired
with your Bluetooth GPS device you could try setting an Outgoing port to COM7: as that is
a default COM port that TomTom Navigator can connect to. Do step 22 then skip to step 26.
22. Turn on your Bluetooth GPS and stick it in a location that it's likely to get a signal.
On your Pocket PC, enable Bluetooth and search for new devices. Establish a bond (pair) with
your GPS device and ensure you check the "Serial Port" option.
23. Go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth. Create a new Incoming COM Port. I chose COM8 for this.
24. Other guides on the Internet tell you to also create an Outgoing port and setting it
as COM7 but doing this would not work on the PPC that I was using so I had to create the
Outgoing COM port on COM0. Either way you need an Outgoing COM port to be set.
If you can set it as COM7: then you should do so, if not, use COM0:
25. Go to Settings > Connections > GPS. Set the GPS communication port to the same
Outgoing COM port that you set above. For the PPC I was using,
I had to set it as COM0: above so will set it here as COM0: also.
The "Manage GPS Automatically" checkbox should already be checked but if it isn't, check it and OK out.
26. Start up TomTom Navigator using the Programs menu and run through the setup procedure as
normal but select "Other Bluetooth GPS" when asked to select a GPS device.
27. TomTom will ask you to now pair your GPS device with your Pocket PC.
We've already done that so click Continue.
28. You will be given a list of ports that your GPS device is likely to be on.
Remember that this is the Outgoing port that we created earlier in steps 24 and 25.
Basically the COM port you set here must be the same as the one you set in step 24 and 25.
29. Select the relevant COM port and then click Next. You will likely be taken straight
in to the map view and with any luck your Pocket PC and GPS device will start communicating and your Pocket PC will show your position on the map.
30. If you made a mistake in setting the COM port that your GPS device lives on,
simply tap anywhere on the screen. Tap Preferences, tap Next three times until you
see an icon that looks like a satellite labelled GPS status. Tap that icon and then tap configure to change the COM port.

What version of TomTom are you using? I had exactly the same problem using TT5.0 but when I upgraded it to TT5.21 the com port became visible in the TomTom settings.

I use TOMTOM 6.0

"external gps" icon is enabled on my settings/connections, this means I didn't had to setup that registry entries and I have 2 tabs to setup there.
"GPS program port" and "Gps hardware port".
I did com 7 at program port and also i've spent several hours choosing different ports in both different tabs but without results. At gps whardware tab, there's also a baund rate which I tried to search wich speed my gps
device has but I failed with google searching manuals/specs.
Also I tried emt gps view, to get the hardware settings but I failed on finding the right baund rate

Hi

I got the same problem with the Crossbow reload 1.5 and TomTom 6.

With Navigator6 I use no COM but Bluetooth setting and I got no problem.
With Beeline GPS I use com7 (Hardware COM) without any problems.

I tried COM7 and any other COM's (logical COM) with TomTom 6 without any success :-(((

please help

QTEK was in flightmode. TomTom6 do not work in this mode.
