Can't connect my C500 to GPS device

[Guest derek_plant]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help please?

I have an Orange C500 app unlocked and i've sucessfully installed TomTom 5.

I can add the Bluetooth GPS device (running on a SirfStar III chipset I believe) as a pair but in TomTom it can't find the GPS device. I've lost my Tom Tom device that came with the software you see.

Has anyone got any ideas for me please?

if anyone's interested and for future searches I did it, and this is how:

1) set the C500 Bluetooth to ON or to discoverable

2) turn on the GPS and pair the devices

3) you MUST then change the name of the GPS device to the following -

IT IS CASE SENSITIVE

TomTom Wireless GPS

4) you can then turn bluetooth off on the C500 as TomTom will turn it

on automatically.

5) You should double check that pairing has been done by going into

settings - bluetooth and you should see TomTom Wireless GPS showing

even if the receiver is off. If not then you have not paired them.

6) THIS NEXT STEP IS KEY

On the C500 (can't remember which menu it is in - but is buried a

couple of screens down) - make sure BOTH tick boxes for BlueTooth

Serial Ports are ticked. If they are not, TomTom will not recognise

the receiver.
