[wizard18]

Hi All

Has any managed to get Tom Tom mobile 5 to work with Globalsat BT-338 receiver on a SPV C550. I can't get Tom Tom to see the Globalsat receiver.

Any clues??

as far as i know tt mobile 5 doesnt work on c550 due to the screen resolution being different

there are threads on this forum that tell you what to do if you look

I have managed to get Tom Tom mobile 5 to work on the C550, I just wanted to find out how to connect using GlobalSat BT-338.

[erniew]

in that case has the reciever been paired with the phone

in tom tom go to the gps setup page and change the setting to other gps device from tt's own brand

that should fix it hopefully

How do you go to the gps setup page. All I know is how to go to the configure gps page, which is under preferences. That page does not give you the option to change the gps device.

[erniew]

in preferences find show gps status page and select that

then it should open with a window showing the gps status
at the bottom select configure
the you should be able to select other gps device

i do the following
from the main tt open page press

5 change settings
6.6.6
this will bring you to the show gps page
select 1 to open the page

are you sure you have tom tom mobile 5 and not an earlier version

hope this helps

Sorry to bother you so much. I am definitely running Tom Tom mobile 5. When I go to configure on the GPS status page I only have the following two options:

Time format
Units e.g degrees or minutes.

I can't see the option to select another GPS unit.

Please could you explain further. Do I have to be connect via bluetooth to the reciever before I try this?

Sorry for all the hassle

sounds like you are on the right page

however my display is slightly different

i have no gps device
then a w 0.000degrees
s0,0000degrees

then some bars that have nothing in them

at the bottom of the screen is on the left a configure and on the right a done

on my set up the bottom of the sceen has a configure in the left hand corner
use the left key just under where it says configure then a picture of tt gps unit should appear use the joystick to go down one page to other gps unit
then click select

if its not there you may have to contact someone with more experiance than myself
