Help please

[clacko]

Hi, I am new to this, and I hope someone out there will be able to help. I have recently purchased a HP iPAQ 2400, to go with it, I have a ‘Fuzion X50’ Bluetooth Gps unit (which I believe is BT or something), and Tomtom 5. The problem I have is that I connect the GPS via the Bluetooth with no problems, and the unit is shown within the ‘bluetooth my shortcuts’ as ‘BT GPS:SPP Slave’, the GPS is flashing correctly as if it has locked onto satellites. However when I activate Tomtom, it comes up with ‘No GPS found’. I have noticed that within the ‘Bluetooth manager’ ‘active connections’, the GPS comes up within the ‘outgoing connections’ and not within the ‘incoming connection’. Please please tell me what am I doing wrong, and how can I get round it.

First of all if you haven't done so upgrade to version 5.10 by downloading from the TomTom website.

Then in TT5 in Main Menu 1, go Change Preferences, page forward to Preferences Menu 4, Show GPS status, Configure, Other Blutooth GPS, Bluetooth Serial Port 8.

That should get it working.

Thanks a lot for that, now works a treat. It does 'rack me off' a little that this isn't explained in any of the manuals etc. Thanks again
