E200, TomTom & BT GPS

[Guest fatgit]

I just bought an Orange SPV E200 mobile, with TTM on it (as far as I can tell, it's genuine), but it did not come with the GPS unit, so I purchased one on ebay (no brand name, just comes up as BT GPS)

I can bond the GPS with the phone, and I can get my position on Pocket Streets, but TTM won't work with it.

Changing home location to GPS position reports : no valid gps signal

I have tried disabling COM7, removing the bonding, rebooting the phone - after 30mins, TTM still doesnt see it.

I have tried renaming the GPS to TomTom Wireless GPS, and tried with COM7 enabled and disabled, each to no avail.

Am I stuck with a GPS unit I can't use ? Or are there other route/navigation programs that are worth looking at, that are less hassle ?

I appreciate any answers, and I also appreciat the fact most people are probably sick of seeing this kind of question ;)

**edit**

According to an ebay advert for the same model of GPS it is :

GPS Chipset : NEMERIX GPS Module

Welcome to the site ;)

Unfortunately through no fault of your own you do not have a valid version of TomTom as the licence is not transferable between users.
