Anyone managed to get this working? Just got the software installed but it can't see my tom tom BT GPS, in my tom tom navigator software config it uses com port 6, but on the spacemap software com port 6 isn't available?

Any ideas?

My problem/challenge is that I need tom tom navigator to work when I'm in the UK and Pocketmap R3 to work in the US - I have a trip there next week and having shelled out for the Space machine software am a bit peeved i can't get it to see my TomTom GPS!!

Grateful for any help anyone can offer?

Read this guide and all will become clear, it's the old TomTom GPS Driver blocks Com Port Issue.

Thanks Darren, you may have saved me a lot of hassle - I wasn't aware of the problem but will be after a good read of this.

Cheers,

Bother - all I've succeeded in doing is disabling my Tom Tom, now that gives me a "GPS Disabled" message on start-up and the GPS properties page is innaccesible (as is the GPS icon in the system folder).

Not a happy bunny as now I have no working GPS in the UK or US!

....I installed that new CAB file in the hope the GPS status functionality would return but to no avail.

Any other ideas???

Thanks,

- Andy.

P.S. Pocketmap replied to my e-mail to support saying "uninstall Tom Tom Navigator" - great!!!!!!!
