Hello,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. Does anyone know what make/model of receiver this is please. Confused I have got one and want to use it with an XDA and TomTom 3.

If I have posted this in the wrong forum, sorry.

If you've got one and don't know what it is, configure TomTom Navigator 3 to "NMEA 0183v2 4800" and "Serial cable on COM1:". That should work - but I can't guarantee it.

You will almost certainly need to turn off incoming beams on an XDA for the serial port to work - that can be done via Start Menu, Settings, Connections tab, Beam - untick the box about incoming beams and press OK.

Select "TomTom Navigator GPS" works with almost all GPS.
I think it is just the same as NMEA 4800.

Nearly - but not quite.

"TomTom Navigator GPS" is NMEA at 4800bps, but it sends SiRF configuration commands to the GPS. That's unwise if the GPS isn't SiRF based - it may misinterpret them and do something silly.

"NMEA 0183v2 4800" is NMEA at 4800 bps and sends nothing to the GPS.

Sorry the direct link does not work.

Just go to:

then search for : Rikaline 6012 GPS

Thanks everyone. It is indeed a Rikaline 6012. I also found out the major problem on my XDA was answered in your FAQ's regarding the com port. It now works a treat. :D
