Another GPS issue with Tomtom

[Guest Ranga]

I had Tomtom 7 working fine yesterday, using the Enhanced GPS - XTRA Enable method on Com 3. If I changed the device to use another port, that port would be available for selection in Tomtom. All was good.

Today, I tried using it again, and it tells me "No GPS device". So I go to check the NMEA device settings, and only port 5 and 9 are available for selection. Yesterday it allowed me to use port 3. I tried switching the device GPS settings and then Tomtom's settings over to port 5, still with no luck.

Any idea why I don't see any other port than 5 and 9 in Tomtom, despite what port I tell the device to use?

BTW, I also had iGo8 running fine yesterday, and now it doesn't seem to work either, so I think it may be a problem with the GPS or the Omnia. Hopefully it's just the software! B)

I had similar issues with IGO8.

Change the settings back to COM9 and make 4800 but no more than 57600.

Start the IGO (or nav program) and make it scan for GPS device again.

To me it takes about 4-5 minutes to get positioned.

Even when i use GPSGate
