I am hoping this the correct place to stick this

Firstly I am a newbie to this GPS and please feel free to tell me I am being stupid

OK I have Tom Tom version 5 installed onto my O2 XDA Mini S, and I have the Memory card with the maps in it.

I purchased a Bluetooth GPS reciver, this one

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm

I connected the GPS reciver to my PDA and it see's it, and the GPS reciver connects to the signals.

When i launch Tom Tom and go into the GPS status and configure the device, i cannie seam to get it to connect

I tried the TOM TOM reciver and no luck, I also tried Bluetooth and also the Othere NMEA GPS.

When i go in here I am confronted with a few COM ports and a Serial Port. but still cannie get it to connect

When i go into the phone properties and into the bluetooth device It shows i can set the Incomming and outgoing ports on comm 6 or 7, but when in TOM TOM i cannie see this port

Any idea

I know the gps device works cause it works and connects to Navigon.... but that is suckie compaired to tom tom

Please Help

Mike

it is already off

and when i turn it on so it can be discovered it does not make any difference

I had a look at other posts on here about this, and It says sometihng about going to

START
Settings
System

and in there there is a GPS icon, But i cannie see that

Oh for further infor I have Windows Mobile Version 5.0 OS. 5.1.70

Hope that might help a bit
