I struggled with my emtac, but then I created a port with the gps as the option, and it detected fine. (go to bluetooth options from the com manager)_

Hi

here is how I did to use a third party gps with tomtom in my smartphone :D :

* in bluetooth settings

1- pair devices (settings / connections / bluetooth / devices)

2- right menu / com ports / select device / menu again, new outgoing port

3- select "com 6", validate

(afaik M3100 is PDA phone, so menus can differ from smartphone, but principe is the same)

* in tomtom mobile 5

1- click left soft button to access menu

2- "5-preferences"

3- navigate to page 4 in preferences

4- "1- view GPS state"

5- left menu configure (or settings)

6- select other bluetooth gps

validate and wait a minute :D

In tom tom use whichever com port number you create in BT settings.

Just installed TTN 5.21 at the weekend and it works no problem. I'm using a Holux 236 as the GPS receiver and the 2 devices seem to work well together over bluetooth.

Tips:

- Pair the 2 devices over bluetooth before you run TomTom. (Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Devices > New Partnership)

- Once paired, set up an Outgoing Port as a Serial interface on a COM port - I used COM0 (Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > COM Ports > New Outgoing Port)

- In TomTom, you should then see 'COM0' (or whatever port number you set up) as a selectable option when configuring your GPS device.

Hope that helps!

Hmmm - mine refuses to work!

Got the GPS paired - took a while to remember what the passkey was.

But TomTOm gets as far as asking which map to use and then dies!

Oh well - never mind!

I have a Orange SPV M600 running TomTom Navigator 5.0. I have a Holox Bluetooth GPS receiver. The phone pairs with the receiver fine but only allows Com 6 or 7 as an outgoing port. TomTom only allows Ports 0,2,3 and 9 as selectable ports hence I cant get TT to see the GPS. Im about to throw them out the window. Any ideas anyone? I have tried installing v5.21 and WM5GPSFIX both of which havnt worked.
