|
|
Can you help please with this problem? I have just bought a Toshiba 800e pocket PC and DConnex GPS DC-230 receiver. I have loaded Tom Tom 3.
I have loaded the GPS manager software that came with the reciever onto the 800e and it works in so much as it recognises the satellites etc, the DC-230 has set itself up on Com 6 (the Bluetooth port) but TOMTOM will not recognise com 6 therefore won't see the GPS Reciever.
Any help that anybody could give would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Rob |

Try replacing this driver with version 2.07 from our downloads section
Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs
Remove TomTom GPS
Then do a soft reset
Then install version 2.07
Then set the TomTom GPS to Bluetooth COM 6: and NMEA 38400 _________________ Lutz

HI Lutz, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction. What I did in the end was to actually downgrade TomTom to version 2.8. Sorry been a little while responding lightening took the PC out.
Thanks. |
