TomTom Navigator and Arkon GPS Setup

JonnyC · Occasional Visitor Joined: Sep 19, 2005 Posts: 3

I have an Acer n30 with TomTom Navigator 5 installed and have a Arkon CM885 Powered GPS

PDA Mount; they are connected together via USB cable attached to the port on the bottom

of the PDA and the data usb slot on the bottom of the gps mount. I am having trouble

setting the TomTom software on the PDA up with the Arkon GPS Mount, I presume you chose

the 'Other Cable NMEA GPS' device as GPS hardware, I set the baud rate as default (4800)

but am unsure which connection to choose for data transfer between the two devices, the

options are:

BT UART2
SC2410 USB Cable:
Com3:
S2410 IRDA2410
S2410 UART0
S2410 BT UART2
Bluetooth Serial Port COM6:
Bluetooth Serial Port COM5:

Any help appreciated. Jon.

No I gave up and bought a Garmin StreetPilot i3 instead. Ended up selling the Arkon Mount on eBay. Good luck...!

Been there done that, still no joy, have sent email to Arkon asking if unit compatible with TT5.21

I have a powered Arkon working just fine with an IPAQ PDA running 5.21. Settings are, NMEA device, 4800 Baud, and SerialPort Com 1.

ps You sure you haven't got one of these funny windscreens that sort of, blocks the signal out somehow ? My wifes Ford KA has a heated screen which really plays havoc with the Arkon, so I bought her a blue tooth Holux 236 which is totally magic and so flexible...beats the all in one Arkon any day.
