Hello!!

Im new here, hope someone can help!!

Bought a gr-230 today, and have not been able to connect it with my tom tom 2 for a while now, i dont know what i did but i guess i am doing something wrong...the only thing i have done is switch the name of the gps unit around a bit, since i cant find the holux gr-230 in the list..have tried all from tom tom wireless to sirf and the status screen shows only gray bars and no red satellite connections...have i done something wrong?how to fix it then??? hope someone can help!!

Hi there,

The following works for me after a hard reset and reinstall of TomTom, to set things up and check them step-by-step.

1. Turn Holux GR-230 GPS unit on and wait till its LEDs show it has a good fix

2. Start Bluetooth Manager and create a connection to the Holux GR-230

3. Run GPS app (Start - Settings - System - GPS), untick box, change settings to NMEA 0183v2 9600 and Bluetooth Serial Port COM8:, then tick box again

I can now see live GPS position, satellite fix, etc. in the GPS app.

So I can now close that, then start TomTom, select Holux at Bluetooth Browser, and off I go.

This has worked first time for me both times I've done it, so hopefully will either work for you too, or help to locate the problem.

I am from Denmark and the weather is horrible, and i have just tried it inside the house for now, so hopefully it will be just great in the car...
