I am having problems connecting my recently acquired Holux GR-230 Bluetooth to the Memory Map program installed on my iPaq 3970.Should I be trying to use the same port on the iPaq namely 5 or 8 as is used to run the GR-230?I have uninstalled the TomTom 3 as advised in the Forums |

Yes, whichever COM port you would usually use you should use in Memory Map. Remember that most GR-230's use 9600 as a baud rate (NMEA) not 4800 like most GPS would use.
You shouldn't need to uninstall TomTom, it's just if you can't get a connection using any other GPS application you need to uninstall the TomTom ~ GPS program and soft reset. |

Dave,many thanks for confirming I am using the correct port in M.M.but I am still unable to link M.M.with Holux even though I am acquiring: 3D.The M.M. Status is showing 'Communication timeout'.Also the list of ports show COM5 & immediately below :- COM5:Bluetooth Serial Port connection which I highlight but the iPaq appears to go back to COM 5! I have also tried SIRF without success.Should I reinstall M.M on the iPaq? |

I would try asking in the Memory Map forum. If it's a 2210 you are using then you want COM8 as your BT port and not COM5 (wrong BT port). |

Thanks for your response.I have posted the problem on the memory Map Forum & also Emailed Holux UK.However I am now having a problem in connecting Holux SP slave in Bluetooth as 'Incoming connection'which is what I presumably need & not the 'Outgoing connection' which it tends to connect to.Can anyone advise? |
