"No GPS-Device" (TomTom 5.2 & Route 66)

[Guest melino]

I have paired my Holux GPSlim 236 with my O2 XDA Phone and added incoming and outgoing com ports (6+7)

But TomTom 5.2 as well as Route 66 doesn't find the GPS Device. I have tried every settings in these applications

I have tried the GPS Mouse on my MPDA Pro and it works well. I even have done a test on my O2 XDA Phone with another device (Xaiox) but it's still the same.

What's wrong?

try the following:

got to connctions/bluetooth/(paired)devices, highlight (mark) the gps, menu -> (2)

and mark as [X]"serial port"

2nd:

start tomtom -> settings -> gps status -> configuration(?) -> choose "other gps" -> finnish

good luck!

I was with the same problem.

Until one day i read in the net one person sayong that tomtom for smarthphone have a problem, if o open TomTom for more than one minute without and GPS, then it will never find an GPS again.

So what i did was, HardReset to my Qtek 8010. Intalled TomTom again. I configured my smartphone, choose port 6+7. Paired the phone with the gps device. I haven't change the name of the Holux 236.

Then i opened TomTom, and choose other gps device. And it worked...

Note: If for example, i pass a long tunnel and lost GPS signal for more than one minute, i close tomtom before that happen, or i will need to hard reset my phone again :)

It seems a few people have problems with the Holux 236Slim models.

This seems to be how I got my C600 working wth Route66. Which would not pick up the GPS receiver no matter how I tried. Yes, I added it as a com port too.

I also tried using Autoroute on the PC with my bluetooth adapter and that would not connect to the GPS receiver at all, until I changed a setting in the GPS receiver.

After dismanteling my GPS to reset it (http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=44809) it worked for some minutes but was disconnected again.

Dismanteling it again did have the same result as the first time and the third time.

So it just has a slack joint and I will let it be changed by nav4all.

i would suggest to try another gps receiver, like the hghly recommended Royaltek models. i just remembered that i had prettey similar problems with nokia and holux models.

(nimm ne royaltek RBT-2010, gibt nix besseres :) )

Melino, a nice find there. I'll keep that for future reference should I need it. Thanks.
