Garmin Mobile XT - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I'm having an odd problem when running this software ..
After a power up the software runs perfectly connects to the internal GPS and everything is good. If I then close the app and restart it it NEVER finds the GPS device and it just sits there scanning for the GPS device, even if I turn the GPS of and on again it doesn't fix it..
Power Cycling the phone then fixes this problem and I'm back at square one
anyone else add this/sorted this
Jez

can you tell me the installer you used ... (Name of the installer)...
try going to Setting--> Remote GPS--->and DISABLE GPS
Then Enable again ... it will ask you the GPS Port ... Select Com4...
then it should find GPS

Hi there,
I brought the XT from Garmin so I got the MicroSD card with the software and installer on it..
""Try going to Setting--> Remote GPS--->and DISABLE GPS""
on my TyTN II I have Settings/System/External GPS
there is no option in this app to disable/enable the GPS device ..

sorry ... what i meant was.... go to
Garmin Mobile XT---> Settings---> Remote GPS ---> Disable GPS

Australia d810 how do i get TomTom working

Hi I have a dopod D810 i would like to know how you get the gps working on this model, can someone please help me
I did upgrade rom to 1.23.707.6 and install a TomTom program but it still looks for gps device
does the D810 have a device built in
has anyone done this Thanks
cheers
tomtom works on my aussie D810 with the same rom...
I set the GPS reciever to other NMEA GPS reciever.
coldstart it can take a minute or more to find the signal.
try standing outside in a area with a good wide view of the sky, or even driving round.
Speedn
Depending on the version of/locked files (Search forum) TOMTOM, you might need to configure it each time.
In 6.02 and below you need to select the NEMA (or whatever its called).
In 6.03 they have a selection of inbuilt GPS device. I Found 6.03 much less hassle to be honest.
how do i get 6.03 please
how do i get 6.03 please
to get tomtom 6.03 update go to the following site and follow their instructions...
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=1401&SID=0&CID=215&Language=1&FID=6736
NOTE: you will need reactivation of your maps after this upgrade to 6.03
please if anyone can help

Are you outside with clear view to the sky? Wait 15 Minutes there! It WILL work.
You're on the right track with GPS on COM9 if you are not using version 6.03. If you get as far as "No valid GPS signal" message then that means your GPS receiver is tracking satellites ok and you're just not getting a GPS fix. I had the exact same problem as you.
1) Just restart your d810 (stylus into the small hole on the underside of your dopod )
2) Start your TomTom and use the same setup as you did before with NMEA.
3) Select GPS on COM9
4) When you get the "No valid GPS signal" message stand outside where there is lots of open sky (if you're in the city... tough luck it would be really hard to get a GPS fix there).
5) Be prepared to wait for up to 15 minutes until you get a GPS fix. Mine took more than 10 minutes.
Got it working plus more
Thanks guys you have been a great help
i updated my tomtom software it was easy
as advised i went to here
http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=17

tomtom home is excellent for anyone that does not have it, its free and a must have.
tomtom home then updated all my software and gave me free some cool new stuff.

thanks i hope this helps others
now if i can only try to see if i can modify my 838 to do this aswell
i know the 838's don't have gps connected inside unit but has anyone opened one up and connected it.
I currently have 4 brand new dopod 810s and 4 dopod 838's i will have to sell some as we just got given them and some people oready had them before we got given them.
they were given to you? wow! give them away too. throw one my way
Changing GPS
Can you change the GPS type once you have already installed it and it is running?

Are any of you guys with optus? I really want to wait for the official GPS rom from dopod but i dunno what these guys are doing, there has been all these claims of new roms coming out but no substance.
Which rom updates are you using? Any problems with the aussie networks?
Viperx,
Im using this rom. its the offical rom, but it hasnt been released on the dopod asia site for autralian customers as yet. I think I downloaded it from this forum ftp, cant recall now. works great with 3 so far, haven found any bugs. The only thing I fixed since the update was the bass (again that was found on this forum).

Which GPS App for s730?

Hello
Does anyone of you us the s730 with an external GPS?
If yes, which application do you use for Routing? TomTom? Navigon?
TomTom doesn't work very well on the S730. They don't produce a SP specific version so you're stuck with the PocketPC version, which kind of works if you use FakeCursor, but it's a right faff, only useful if you already have TomTom Navigator and don't want to spend on anything else.
As for the anything else, CoPilot 7 looks good, although I haven't tried it.
Fount on S710 forum:
The best one is Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile Ver. 4.10.40w, here is the link
That looks terrible!
I'm using Route66 Mobile 7, and I find it very well made.
Hehe, Garmin XT tested some Years ago (was fixed to only garmin GPS receivers)
Now they make the finnish better and open the restrictions between XT and Garmin GPS Receivers.
All what i can say: it works
BG Joy
Also Navigon NMM6 is for specifically for smartphones. I have just got a copy, screenshots are great, but since I only have 1GB card (maps are just below 2GB) I have not had chance to try it yet.
Besides TomTom 5.2 - 5.26 haas also been made for smartphons nd does not require touchscreen.
I've swapped an old copy of TomTom Mobile 5.2 to my S730 and it works perfectly. Ok, the maps are getting a little old but major routes don't change that often! If anything it's better than it was on my C500 - the display is much clearer.
I'm using the TomTom BT GPS to connect, and that works fine with Google Maps.

I had TomTom 5.2 unfortunately only for Symbian 60! When I upgraded to TomTom 6.0 it included all formats but Smartphone was no longer supported
You could try CoPilot 7 which is available for Windows Mobile and you may be lucky enough for it to use your working internal GPS on your device Dumdidum
http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/default.asp
Thanks but buying this on good luck-base... nope
Ups just saw that they even used the Wings for their screenshots (on CoPilot 7 website)
Hi,
I use my old Tomtom 5.2 Smartphone verision. Its fine, but not up to date. Unfortunalty my other TOmtom 6 LIcence from my old Palm Treo does not work, because S730 is not suppoerted anymore....
By the way. I checked Navigon Mobile Navigator 6. But before spending 130 Euros for it I want to test it. Does anyone has the installation program files for Smartphones, so that I can give a try?
I do not really want to spread warez, but check torrent P2P
Can use TomTom 5.20 too, but cannot connect with the integrated GPS :-(
Route 66 V7 is working with the internal GPS juhuuuu
just naturally working, or did u make some changes to the registry/teaks?
thanks

CoPilot and Route66 are known to work fine with devices that have an internal GPS, therefore no seperate external GPS is required.
TomTom however doesn't recognise the internal GPS of equipt devices yet, so they have to also have an external GPS

Not true. TomTom uses the internal GPS on the TyTN II as well as others.
Where it doesn't work is with Symbian devices such as the Nokia N95.

Have you tried with GPSID set to COM6 instead of the default COM4? IIRC, TT Mobile 5 will only connect to Bluetooth devices on COM6.

Garmin Mobile XT doesn't work on it :-( it can't find my GPS :-s
UPDATE 2008-06-14:
- Installed TomTom Navigator 6, works fine!
- I am wondering, will TomTom Navcore 8 work?
Since we can't use microSD card, I think only possibility is to use Garmin Bluetooth GPS.

Navcore8 for PNDs is Linux only. Your best hope is TomTom 7 if ever it is released. There were rumours of it built in ROM from a German site , with a limited Map.

How did you install? I have XT on a microSD but can't copy to Internal Storage, it only gives me an evaluation option or external GPS.
download install file from http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389
then serach google on getting the internal gps to work
tomtom 6
i have tomtom 6 running on my diamond. Just copy the intire map to your diamond and then run the ttn.cab file. It will install itself on youre diamond. Then when it is installed go to gps settings and select OTHER NMEA GPS (or the one thats sounds like that) and then select com4. Should run like a charm.

i don't know if i can upload tomtom6 to the ftp site of XDA-developers? So that we all can enjoy tomtom.

Try google and take a look on the sites where you find tomtom... They got WAREZ written all over so i advise you not to upload it anywhere as it's illegal to do so.

Hi guys how do I go about setting the internal GPS to COM 4, all the methods I've tried keeps resetting when I press OK.
My Diamond would be a lot better if I had GPS working...
i have tomtom as wel.
to be honest i do not like it so much. it seems old and outdated. the letters are really small on the diamond and it takes a few minutes to get a lock.
i am waiting for route 66 v8. i had a good experience with v7 so i hope this is better than tomtom.
if tomtom would only release new versions.....
My TT - when in use, does not keep up with where I am located - it seems always to be lagging behind when i am approaching side streets . I have full signal too.

Seems like your ROM version is kinda old,
Maybe one of the guru here can help you,
or update your ROM by yourself (your own risk)

I lost gps functionality after flashing to a new ROM.
Radio .07 and doing a "warm start" in htc gps tools got it working again, now from cold (ie initialising device to getting lock) is 25 seconds. (20 seconds to initialize gps, 5 seconds to get a lock!)
Try using gps gate,it will automatically configure gps settings and then start destinator,it should detect the inbuilt gps receiver and give you a fix,I had exactly the same problem with destinator 7, it just would not detect gps after using gps gate everythings fine,hope this helps.

Please update your radio to .07. I had the problem of not getting a fix. The GPS Info showed many satellites but none would get a fix. I went for a radio update to .07 & now, even when the GPS signal is in RED I get navigation working.... perfectly. Touch wood

Any help plssss????
Changed the radio but still the same .It will not find any satellites.Maybe the gps chipset is %^$%$#.
ok, your GPS module is detcted, right?
In GPS test, can you see signal of satelites or not?
Flash your radio again and do intermediate hard reset before phone fully boots. If doesn't work flash both rom and radio (hard reset after each!). Just had the same problem on my diamond (solved today) and had it in the past on Kaiser. GPS detected, gps tool see sats but they are permanently red and flat (like they wouldn't have any strengh at all) And its always to do with radio so don't worry about your chipset.
I just read another thread and found this:

Hi,
After i had some GPS-Problems (no Sattelite link etc.) i tested many combinations on my own. At the End this works on two Diamonds:
1. Follow the "Unlock description" if necessary
2. Flash your ROM (i used the AZTOR V6)
3. Hard-Reset your Device! <- Important
4. check Com-Port
5. Cold Boot yor GPS
6. Warm Boot yor GPS
7. Hot Boot your GPS
8. No link-Problems, no Lags and very fast Sattelite link (after a few Tests: First Sattelite Link ca. 2 min. After first using GPS ca. 20 sec. to Sattelite-Link)
Important: After installing "Sensor-Lock" my GPS was completely Dead.
I don`t read the completely Thread but i hope this is a little bit helpful.
Greetings

what can i do about that?

thanks for ur help!

You need to go into the Garmin settings and change your gps device settings to Com 4 and the braud rate to 4600. You can test the braud rate to see what works best for you.
