Garmin Mobile XT with WM6.1

[smueller99au]

I'm having a problem with the Garmin app, latest version from their website. If I use the Garmin BT then after around 1 minute the XDAII just soft resets by itself. No warning.

Anyone got any clues? I can't use the serial port method because COM4, where I have the HOLUX GPS, does not turn up in their list.

This problem was not experienced with Shekhar AKU7.0b WM6 ROM. I'm using the Syed Ather WM6.1 rom.

Any takers?
Cheers.

I have had the exact same issue with TomTom 6 and WM6 and WM6.1. The bug is actually in the bluetooth software as I understand it. I solved it by pairing my GPS device (navman) with my Himalaya first. After this, I made sure to choose the advanced option which will give you the choice of choosing the serial connection and then which port you want to use. I always choose Com 5 as this seems to work fastest, most stable etc. After this, you then leave bluetooth on and in discoverable mode.
After this, load up your software. The correct com port should then appear in the list of possible com ports for you to choose from (Com 5). After that, all should be well with the world.

The reset seems to be caused when your device looks for a device on the incorrect com port. Why this would happen? no idea.

Good luck, keep us informed of how it goes.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I changed the com port of the GPS to COM5 and we're all sweet. I had it on COM4 previously and it really didn't like that. The only time it reboots now is when the GPS dongle is switched off or the battery goes flat. But that's better than before.

Thanks for your help.
