TomTom wireless GPS Receiver?

[Guest meshio]

hi, i had the windows version of tomtom for c500 worked fine with that but cant seem to get it to establish a bluetooth gps connection with m3100?

any ideas thanks for your time :rolleyes:

[Guest dtemple]

What GPS device do you have?

Have you actually setup a relationship between your M3100 and the device?

If so have you renamed it as GPS?

[Guest meshio]

its the official tomtom one, and i have paired it up using bluetooth.. still no luck :rolleyes:

Not sure if this is a problem with the version of tomtom you are running, but I've just bought tomtom navigator 6 with the proper tomtom gps and had no problem with syncing it with bt and using it.

[Guest gingercat]

After pairing up the GPS, did you add the outgoing serial port for it?

Are you trying to use the mobile version you used on your C500? if so it's not designed for the PocketPC.

You need to buy TomTom Navigator for the PocketPC.

It comes on Mini SD doesnt it? I take it you copy to PC then transfer to a Micro SD card? I have bought a 2GB Micro card, 1GB loaded with Music. Is it ok to mix music and Tom-Tom on same card?

No probs. Make sure that you copy it direct to the root of the other sd card though

Hi, when you say c500, do you mean Orange SPV c500?

If so, the c500 is the TomTom version for Smartphones. You now need TomTom Navigator to use on the Hermes,

@ meshio

You should not need to initiate a route for the GPS to kick in.

As it's a brand new unit it can take a while to actually lock in to the satellites for the first time.

let me get this right...tom tom navigator 6 does work with the spv m3100...could some one tell me exactly what i need to get this up and running...it was one of the main reasons i switched to a smart phone, and was worried about the micro sd slot...anybody out there who has this functioning on their m3100 please... elighten me...the last i heard tom tom was only compatible wih sybian os...feel free to add the price and most practical mounting apparatus

TomTom 6 has always been compatable with the PocketPC. It is the Windows Smartphone it is not comaptable with.
