Yeasterday I installed VirtualGPS, it works good also with googlemaps and tomtom setting COM0 port, BUT when I turn back to my "standard" GPS It doesn't work any more, I setted "Other NMEA GPS receiver", Baud rate 4800, Com4 BUT nothing. Now I can't use the real gps with any program (google map, tomtom, igo) BUT i can use virtualgps!
I ried to unistall virtualgps ... but nothing.
Is there anything that I can do before an hard-reset?
Is it possible to use the real GPS and sometimes virtual gps?
Thanks
No one tried this software on diamond?
have you tried using the htc gps tool? it worked for my tomtom

Hi Helmi. I installed your ROM and I can say that it works fine.
Today I installed Tom Tom 5.21 and I see that TT does not recognize my Bluetooth GPS. I am able to see it as I installed the GPS bluetooth thourgh the BT menu, but in TT does not work.
What can i do for?. Thanks
You need to name your GPS device something like BT-GPS it must finish in GPS when you setup the device then you need to assign it a comport ie 6 and then pair it in tomtom to com 6
Hi. Thanks for your help. I tried to make the adjustment as you suggested, but it does not work.
I have paired the GPS bluetooth with BT software, but when I use Tom Tom with com 6 (port assigned to the GPS) i don't see any paring.
What i can do then?.
Thanks
Dear all,
I have installed Tomtom6 (not the one from CD) into my Kaiser. Can load the map.
However, it does not recgonize the internal GPS. How should I configure the Tomtom and/or Kaiser?
Currently tomtom only has 4 options:
1. TomTom Bluetooth GPS Receiver
2. TomTom Wired GPS Receiver
3. Other Bluetooth GPS receiver
4. Other NMEA GPS receiver
Which one should I choose?
I tried to choose option 4, after that, it prompts me to choose either com4 or com7. So i picked com4. But with no luck.
Or do I need to configure somewhere else from Kaiser? Please help. Thanks!
Not sure if this will work as the version that comes with it is specific to the Kaiser. Why are you using another version? The bundled version works fine and you can add other maps to it with no problems....

Thanks for the replies!!!
Here in Hong Kong, the application CD does not have tomtom included. (BAD DISTRIBUTOR!!!)
I randomly make the tomtom6 works for me.
Step 1: hard reset the Kasier, then install tomtom6
Step 2: set the External GPS to COM4
Step 3: configure GPS, choose Other NMEA GPS Receiver, COM4, 57600
Step 4: wait for awhile to search the satellite, then it works!
Hopefully it helps for other people.

I tried MapKing 2007, refresh rate is bad. I know it's Mapking's problem. So I switched to Tomtom6 and it works great up to now!
I've brought this GPS: http://www.techfocus.co.uk/GPS-Rece...TFSN20&tduid=9c2b6aadcc4ca8e0d3f6a72baf759c60
but can't get it to find any satellites on S730 trough Google maps or Route66 (Route66 says no GPS). If anyone has the tool or any tips, please let me know
Edit: Found the GPStool and it finds three satellites and has fairly good reception, but Route66 doesn't find it.. says there is no GPS...
try to move around
hi
set in bluetooth settings for gps receiver com# port and in the route66 (gpstool) set bluetooth GPS receiver on com#.

Thanks I had done that, but I found my mistake... I don't get to connect to any satellites where I live, so I have to drive some meters before I get any signal...
Thanks everyone
Or try this app
Due to lag problems with the internal GPS i would like to use an esternal bluetooth GPS reciever with with IGO8. I have got this to work with TT& but only have the local map for this. When I try to set up in IGO8 I can't find a settings page. Is it possible to do this or am I missing something obvious.
You have to make connection to your bluetooth GPS receiver, assign COM port and then in iGO select that COM port and speed. And it'll work ;-)

check also settings/external GPS.
I am wondering how to use the Bluetooth GPS for my X1.
I find that I can't use my BT GPS in my X1. Even Mapking or Google Map, I can only use my build-in GPS.
When I want to change my "GPS Hardware Port", I can't do it. It reset to "none". I already set a port for the BT GPS.
Maybe someone would say I should use the build-in one, but it use much battery.
And I can't connect the GPS for long time while I am hiking or cycling, I don't want to take the X1 out > connect GPS > see where I am.
By using BT GPS, I could log the track and find out where I am easily.
Sorry for my poor English. Could anyone help me? Thanks.
Which program do you use and which external gps?
I use TomTom 7. I just pair the external with the X1 and then open tomtom select external gps and voila... it is working automatically. I don't have to select any port or baud rate or anything else.
The bluetooth will also eat up your battery.
But in in any case, in your control panel/settings there is an icon for "external GPS", which you need to set.
a gps is only a receiver where bluetooth is a transceiver
and transceivers use more power and they have to transmit too
so i'd say that it would cause faster batt being empty
