Newbie needs help!!

Hi,
I have just taken delivery of Globalsat BT-338 a few mins ago.
I am totally new to bluetooth gps receivers (currently using wired TomTom receiver with TTN3). I want to start using the BT-338 with TTN3 (I have TTN5 upgrade but prefer not to install it at present) and so would be grateful for a step by step guide to getting it working. I have just loaded the BT-338 CD onto my PC and installed "GPS Info" onto my HP2210 via Activesync. That's as far as I have got! Help gratefully received!

Cheers

Tom

Tried all the settings until finally hit upon the correct combination:-
NMEA 0183V2 38400
Bluetooth Serial Port COM8
Bingo it works! Getting 9 sats in my house! Just tried putting in a few dummy destinations and all looks spot on!
I seem to recall there being problems with BT and H2210 and TTN3 in the past and there being an uprade (3.07?) - I am running v3.03 415/408 and it seems ok - should I also be running 3.07?

P.S. This little device is amazing - best £88 I've spent in years!

Where did you buy it for that price? Does it have the 3.1.1 firmware?

Bought it from a Canadian company on Ebay. As far as I know it has the latest version of firmware. You could always contact them and ask them for the exact answer. I am happily using it without any problems. I paid £70 plus £15 postage plus £3 insurance. Came in 4 days - absolutely brand new and perfect in all respects. You can ask them also for a free uk plug adaptor - though a standard Ipaq charging cable fits anyhow.
This is a link to one of their sales on Ebay - now out of date but you can search for any current offers on Ebay or contact them yourself and find out if they are offering any.

Hope this helps.

Tom
