Have you successfully paired the gps device and the Axim and are you using a TomTom gps device?

If the gps and Axim are paired and you are not using a TomTom gps the usual solution to this issue is not to start TT until the gps has acquired satellites. This works for me.

You need to have configured TT for "other bluetooth gps" as well ("other" meaning not TomTom).

You will find that often "other bluetooth" will not work, despite you using an "other BT" receiver. In TT Change Preferences, choose Show GPS Status then Configure. Try choosing "Other NMEA" rather than "Other bluetooth". You may then need to experiment with Com Port and BAUD rate (on next screen). Leave the system for a while with a clear view of the sky and see if that works.

peter that was fixed in the lastest versions other bt now works fine muhdatif tomtom usually displays the no gps device for a few seconds its not instant is the dell running wm5 or wm2003se there is a differnce in setting up the bt gps between the windows mobile versions

for wm05 pair the gps then in the bt manager select comports then select new outgoing port then select the device and set a comport of com0 ok then start tomtom go to the gps set up and select other bt gps tap ok then select com 0 then tap done give is few seconds and the dell should pick up the gps

if its wm2003 then pair the device start tomtom select other bt gps then ok then select the com port for your device
