BT GPS Query

My son has TomTom Mobile V4.43 installed on his Nokia 6600. He has a TT BT Unit so all is fine and he loves it.

Out in my car the other day he decided to try and pair with my Navigon BT Unit and lo and behold it still all worked OK.

BUT when we paired with my Holux GR-231 we could not get TTM to find a GPS Unit. Went back to the TT BT and the Navigon BT Unit and both worked fine, but the Holux unit would just not have any of it.

Can someone explain to me why? I thought all three units were the same, for my Navigon MN4 I can pair all 3 and they work fine. Is the Holux different in any way??

Ta. :D :D

I've been having fun with different BT GPS receivers and so far this is what I've found.

You must ensure that both the inbound & outbound bluetooth settings are enabled prior to creating the partnership.

Create the partnership in the normal way.

Rename the device to 'BT Wireless GPS' I'm not convinced that this is required, I need to do more work on this.

When you load TTM and look at the status if all is working well you should see the yellow icon spinning.

If the icon is spinning but no data or signal is being received, it normally means that your GPS unit is set to SIRF mode not NMEA. You'll need to find a utility to reset the GPS unit to NMEA.

My experience has been based on using the SPV C500 with a EMTAC BT receiver, both are working well.

The only problems I'm experiencing is that the Traffic activation is disabled, and if I let the EMTAC batteries run dry the unit defaults back to SIRF mode.

Out of interest I just tried the Rikaline 6030 that I use on my TT3, on my dads TT Mobile. Couldn't get TT Mobile to recognise it at all, after a lot of messing around, if you pair the receiver and then rename it from Rikaline or whatever to TomTom Wireless GPS then TT Mobile picks it up and it works ok. Never played with TT Mobile before, have to say I'm impressed with it!

So will TT mobile work with any other BT GPS recievers other than the TomTom one?
