Tomtom 2 and trimble pathfinder pocket gps receiver

[traveller2000]

Hi!

I just tried to use my old Trimble PathFinder Pocket cable-connected GPS receiver with tomtom with no success. I wonder if any of you have experienced the same problems.

Since the GPS model is not included in the list of pre-configured GPS receiver, I decided to go directly to the NMEA drivers.

I have configured my GPS, using Trimble's pathfinder controller to produce NMEA output (speed 4800 or 9600) and selected the corresponding NMEA 0183 v2 (4800 / 9600) driver in tomtom.

In any case, I get the green light of my receiver on (the receiver has been awakened by tomtom) but no satellites at all.

On the contrary, if I use the trimble's software directly (pathfinder controller) I get satellites and positions after a few seconds.

Has any of you any ideas about how to integrate this receiver with tomtom? I'm about to travel and would like to have it working!!!

Thanks alot!!!
