TOMTOM Instalation HELP!!

[2mas_army]

I'm trying to install tomtom on my diamond. I've copied the program onto my phone and while running the .exe application it asks to select a GPS device. It has four option .... "Bluetooth reciever","tomtom bluetooth", "some wirless reciever", "one other one" it doesnt have an internal gps. I've tried all these and none seem to work, they all say no gps found.

I think that a diamond (because it's a VGA display) needs a recent'ish version of tom tom, so maybe your fault is caused by trying to install tom tom 5 or 6.

Try "searching" the forum as I'm sure a cab of a diamond working tom tom is posted a few times in a few threads & the maps you obviously need to buy/ purchase on your own.

Hope this helps ;)

im using tomtom6 it works fine on the htc touch. when setting it up it asks to select your gps receiver, it has other NMEA GPS receiver, tomtom bluetooth gps receiver, tomtom wired gps reciever,other bluetooth gps receiver, now which one do i choose and can you give me a set by set process of setting it up from here. I've tried them all and even downloaded quickgps and still in the tomtom home screen in the bottom left have the words 'No GPS device!'. i cant seem to get it to work can you help.

go settings, systems tab, external gps, note the gps program port.
in tomtom, choose other NMEA or other bluetooth gos receiver, choose the port u saw in the settings.
should work...might need to wait a while..

The first fix can take up to 5 minutes to be found or even longer from what I've heard. Leave your phone on a good location (outside) for a while and be patient.

It wouldn't say 'No gps device' but 'waiting for a valid GPS signal'.

PS. If you still can't get it to work, check if any other programs using GPS are running in background.

select other gps and the normally port 4 it will start searching for gps signal, ensure the icon in top right corner is rotating, also go out doors and it start picking up a few satelites, and bingo!!!
