Problems: TomTom2 + Rikaline GPS

---

Hey all...

read through lots of posts, but can't think of a solution to get the gps working.

I have a Rikaline 7 series BT GPS receiver and TomTom2 (Updated to 2.4 and GPS 2.09). I have bonded the device to the xda ok, but can't get the gps to start. I have selected Tom Tom Wireless and BT on Com 6.

Also switch off beams... any tips???

I did a hard reset before i installed tomtom2, no other bt device attached at the minute.

Thanks

I got my Rikaline via post via ebay today. The instuctions were all wrong, telling me that it would be on Com8, when it appeared on Com 7 after some resetting of the PDA (it just wasnt seen at first even though it had bonded) ... sorry, but can't be of any more help than this .... make sure you get the alternative bluetooth stack at:

Try removing the gps from your bonded devices, run the tomtom wizard making sure that bluetooth is in "discoveravble" mode, it should then prompt you to choose, click "new" in the gps manager then when it finds the gps click it and finish. Go to bluetooth manager, switch to "on" and then run tomtom. Might help.

Thanks for the replies - really appreciate it. I tried what you both mentioned, and in the end i had no choice but to use Towa's BT tool and set it on serial com 5 for tomtom2 to pick it up. Every so often i have to rebond the device to keep it working which is a pain, but it works at least.

For some peculair reason, if i take the device out of range, without exiting tomtom2, again i have to rebond the device.

Thanks for the help!
