Hi, my friend has purchaser an XDAIIi and I have installed Tomtom Navigator 5, the phone recognises the GPS reciever but I can not get Tomtom to pick it up even after configuration.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers Andy

You have to give more information before some else can help you.
For a start, hve you unchecked the notorius IR Beam associated with all XDA?

What GPS do you have?
How do you configure the software?
What happened?

Well some of that information was already in the 1st message, the GPS reciever is a Dell Navtech on board BT-309 it works fine on my XDA II mini with the same software mine goes in com 5. On my friends XDAIIi it doesn't give com 5 as an option on the GPS configuration, so we have tried them all and all we get is no GPS device.
We have disabled all incoming IR Beams so I don't think it's that.

For GPS setup use "other wired NMEA device" set the baud speed then on the last page selct the Bluetooth com port, I know its bizare using wired with a BT device but it does work, one other point is the device running GPS Gate software ? if so you will need to configure that. The IRdA issue is only applicable if you are using a wired device.

Hello Dogeggs2002,

In tomtom go to main menu then select: change preference, then show GPS status.

Top right of the GPS status page should be a small black and orange circle, this should be turning clockwise, I need you to tell me if it is or if it is not.

Regards
