ive got the exact same prob. i can get the 1940 to connect to the bt-318 and make the blue LED on the reciever flash quicker, but cant get my tomtom to recognise it as its not listed in the gps reciever list.
have ties it as a sirf 38400 on bluetooth serial com 5 and as sirf bluetooth on bluetooth serial com 5 but still doesnt pick it up.

have u solved ur problem yet???

"NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth" should work for any Bluetooth GPS that runs at the standard 38400bps.

The SiRF options are only for GPSes set to SiRF binary mode - and I don't think any Bluetooth GPSes default to that even if they use a SiRF chipset.

For a SiRF based Bluetooth GPS in NMEA mode at 38400bps, arguably the correct setting is "TomTom Wireless GPS".

I'm also stuck. Just bought a Dell Axim 30 and Globalsat BT318 Gps but as it is not listed in Tomtom Nav 3 I have no idea how to get it to work. I need help also please!!!!

That's a SiRF based GPS - use "TomTom Wireless GPS".

Hi , Had the same problem, i was unable to select COMPORT8 with TOMTOM, comport 5 had no response , downloaded TOMTOM GPS v307 from http://www.tomtom.com support page, this then gave me an option of COMPORT 8, then set NMEA 01832v2 Bluetooth in TOMTOM GPS & now OK, hope this helps
