Tomtom for MDA Vario? And the cheapest?

[Guest tsutton]

According to http://www.tomtom.com/products/features.php?ID=99 there is no MDA Vario listed - anyone tried it on their device succesfully?

If so anyone know of a good deals on TomTom with GPS device for my MDA Vario?

No bargain eBay links please, I am only interested in legit version. And UK version.

Thanks,

That's dirt cheap! Also they are selling just the software... wonder if it will work with my GPS device...

Thanks for the link!

you can usuually get any version of TomTom 5 to talk to any bluetooth if you don't mind tweaking the registry I followed a post off modaco and it works perfectly every time !

If you get stuck I can point you in the right direction

I apologise to the genius that posted this originally but I only have a copy for my own records.

"First I had to install the GPS icon on the PDA in settings/connections using a freeware registry editor.

STEP 1: ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL

1. Start up a registry editor

2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings 3. Delet the Dword in there and the value and replace them with:

A new DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec) 4. And create a new string called "(default)" with no value (I think there was originally a string called redirect, rename this "(default)" if it's there 5. The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings. (check it does)

note: you may have to soft reset after each stage if it appears not to work straight away but i managed to make these changes then saved them soft reset and then went to control panel in settings and a GPS option was there. You'll need this for the next stage. Wait about 1 minute before doing the soft reset.

STEP 2: Set up the GPS & Tomtom

1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.

2. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 6 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.

4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 6 free. Select COM 6 and close TT5.

5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM (none) 6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 6.

7. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.

If you follow the above exactly it should hopefully work. "
