Orbit2-- GPS cannot be detected with IGO PLS HELP?!?!?
I have a HUGE problem with getting my GPS running on my Orbit2. It came from O2 with CoPilot7 preinstalled with the maps of UK and Ireland, which I dont use, because I am not located inthere, nevertheless Copilot detects GPS signal and shows positioning, but i dint have the maps for the area that i am in.
I tried to install IGO6 and then IGO8 but I have the same problem-- it cannot detect GPS device, no matter what which COMM Port and BAUD Rate I select.
How come CoPilot detects, and IGO does not? I read that Orbit2 is not locked?!?
Should I boot the whole device using some other ROM.
Please do not double Post
I suggested an answer for you over in the Athena post. In the future, please do not double post as this only clutters the forum.

I'm trying to use the Navigon 5 with my Emtac Crux II Bluetooth GPS, but everytime I start it, all is ok, but after 2 or 5 minutes I lose the GPS signal, but the GPS is working ok.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using WM2003SE.
In TomTom 5 all works fine.
Thanks
Sorry I post in english, but this is an international site and we must communicate in comon language.
Did you chek at www.navigon.com the compability to your gps receiver?
I'm waiting for my software to try this program and after try it I can send you a feed back.
For now I can post hear the FAQ about GPS, in Navigon site:
"Can I still use my old GPS Receiver with MN|5?
Yes, all GPS receivers offered by NAVIGON so far (including those with TMC) can be used with MN|5 as well as all other GPS receivers that are NMEA compatibel and transmit VTG and GGA signals. This is expected to be a standard with almost any receiver available and can be checked at the producer's website."
I know that your gps, like mine because are the same, use all those protocols, so you must see if you have a bluetooth problem or if the protocols are recognized by the software.

change the poi from the maps of tt3 and put it in the maps on the maps of tt5. it will fix the problem.
I already searched Navigon site for some answers and I got nothing, and yes my GPS is compatible, it's in the list.
I'm talking about Navigon 5, not TomTom 5.
I have different problem with Navigon|5 (maybe the same ? )
Here is my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23612&highlight=
Did you install version for PPC2002 or WM2003? I've read, that version for PPC2002 works more stable i faster.
Did you switch your GPS into correct mode ? GGA=1 and VTG=1 ?
I think, that your any my problem are the same because my Navigon5 works correct as long as it doesn't fix gps signal.
Where did you install navigon software (RAM or SD card) ?
Did you try to communicate with navigon's support ? I tried many times and didn't get any answer.
I'm really disappointed, how this software works.

I think that I found the sorce of my problem.
My problem is that i'm using a cracked version of Navigon 5, and for what I read the crack don't work well and after some time of use the connection with my GPS falls.
I hope I can find a working crack somewere.
I would like to help other people out there wishing to use TomTom Mobile v5.20 on an WM5 device to solve a problem which prevents using any kind of external GPS unit (beside the TomTom one).
Should you need to connect a thirdy party GPS device to your WM5 device using TomTom, please note that the name of the BT device (upon recognition), should be modified to contain the letters " GPS" at the end of the name, if this is not yet provided by the device name itself.
I had to google around very long to be able to find this trick, but it seems it only appears on WM5 devices (I had not such problem on a WM2003 SE device...).
Hope this helps someone with more GPS units as I am.

hi have tried all sugestions on the forums but still no lucck im using tomtom 6.02. could someone be nice enough to post directions to how they got it working step by step thanks.
The GPS is on Com5 at 9600 bps, try turning off the microsoft GPS manager thing in control panel and set com5 9600 manualy in TomTom.
"Scott Scott, do I turn left at the next junction?"
Tomtom
Mine works perfectly, just make sure your GPS receiver is the build in one that is used by Tomtom!

I've connected bluetooth GPS to 3125, seemed to be OK (it asked about pin and after that info about equipment beeing connected).
Unfortunatelly GPS software doesn't communicate with GPS equipment. It is searching for bluetooth GPS but doesn't find it. I tried to set connection (port, baud rate) manually but I don't know which COM port is assigned to bluetooth
Is there any way to check this on ?
P.S. I've installed WM6.1 standard by Erofich
try 6.1 pro
I found that bluetooth is using COM6.
The biggest problem was in finding properly working GPS software
hi bchrubas,
Which GPS software are you actually using on WM6.1 standard?
I tried WM6.1 pro for a while but found WM6.1 standard more handsome since I manly want to use my phone simply as a phone
Anyway I'm still missing a good GPS program for navigation which is not intended for touch screen devices.
For now I stucked with Sygic McGuider (http://www.sygic.com/)
It doesn't need touch screen and StarTrek (or At&T 3125) is on the list of compatibile devices. MCGuider runs on STK quite fairly, I didn't noticed any major errors, maybe if it was little faster? (I know that it is possible to overclock this phone but i'm not quite sure about it
Anyhow, I'm stiil searching for some simple GPS track loging software
I looked around a bit and on smartphone-freeware.com I found these two programs:
gpsVP
chtiGPS
both seem to be able to do the loging. And the first one might even be worth trying as a navigation software for me.
not bad, especially this gpsVP
if it really support Garmin format maps it could be very useful
I have a Toshiba TG01 touch phone with gps. I loaded mm successfully including maps. However after a variable amount of time from 10 seconds to 5 minutes the mm software automatically closes and the phone returns to its home page. It always finds a gps signal so it's not even that. I've tried changing power settings on the phone. Reloading the software but nothing seems to help. Please help anyone who's had a similar problem on any device. Thank you

I never used the Memory map, but Garmin Mobile XT and IGO 8 work perfectly on my TG01.
+1 garmin the best
high detail maps and acuracy
Errmm, this is Memory Map, not car navigation like Garmin or iGo.
All I can say is that MM on my TG01 has never closed down on its own. What version are you using?
Thank you for your replies. I have recently updated the mm to version 5.4.2 I hadn't loaded the previous one onto the tg01 so i dont know if that would make a difference. If I turn the satellite off by just altering the com port then mm stays on, could it be something to to do with the gps?
My version is 5.1.3 build 716, I haven't had a previous version loaded. I'm running it through GPS Gate as I need to use that for Tomtom anyway.
You could try using a different ROM and Radio stack.

Hello nueloc,
I have garmin xt but I can not get it to work. Would you be able to tell me installation instructions. Garmin will not recognise key. I have tomtom working but i wanted to try another sat nav as it seems garmin could be the preferred choice.
thanks,
Rick
