So, has anyone been able (or even tried) to get something like this working yet?
Kaiser running GPSGate
Notebook running Google Earth
Use Kaiser as external GPS for Google Earth
Try as I might, I just can't get this to work. Google Earth just can't seem to recognize my Kaiser as a GPS device.
Thanx.
i have done this before over bluetooth (instructions were for xp but was no prob with vista). it uses GPS2Blue (free) http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
the site i used seems to have gone now but from the page i saved:
"Here is what i did:
On your PDA
1. Go to BT settings on your device and make it discoverable.
2. Go to COM Ports Tab and create a new incoming port (mine is COM6)
In GPS2Blue
3. set your GPS to 4 (this is your internal GPS port ..see under Start –> Settings–>GPS)
4. enable BT on and set it to the COM you created in step 2.
5. Press Button ON
On your PC
6. Open your Bluetooth settings… i used Microsoft not Widcomm
7. Add a new Device
8. Choose your PDA
9. When this is done click properties on your device and go to the TAB services.
10. Now it will find a serial Port (SPP) ‘Serial Port’ COM 8 (in my case) enable it and press OK.
11. Now go to the TAB Com Ports and press button ADD. Choose your device and choose the Serial port.Now you have connected COM port 8 on your PC to COM Port 6 on your device. The only thing you will have to do is choose COM Port 8 as your GPS port in your application."
hope that helps
Thanx for the instructions! Unfortunately, I've run into a bit of a snag. Following your instructions...
START > Settings > Bluetooth
Click "Mode" tab
Click "Turn on Bluetooth"
Click "Make this device visible..."
Click "COM Ports" tab
At this point, I have no option anywhere within my Bluetooth settings to "...create a new incoming port..." Even the instructions in the Bluetooth control panel state, "After pairing with a device, to set up a COM port tab New Outgoing Port." Unfortunately, that option is nowhere to be found. Could this be an issue with the phone ROM? Perhaps the developer left the functionality out by accident?
Thanx.

Did a search and didn't see a thread on this. Is is possible to set up an ad hoc wifi connection with my 8125 and my laptop then surf the web from the laptop using the phone as a modem? If so, how would I set it up? Thanks in advance...
Configure Cingular 8125 as a dial up modem
Found this on Howard's Forum
"Driver Installation
1) Insert the CD that came with the phone into your drive. Close the window that opens up.
2) Open up Activesync and go to File - Connection Settings. Remove the check from the box next to "allow USB connections"
3) Connect your Cingular 8125 to your Computer via USB
4) On the 8125 go to Start - Programs - Modem Link
5) In Modem Link choose USB under Connection and wap.cingular under Access Point Name.
6) Choose "activate" in modem link
7) Your computer should recognize the device and an "add new hardware" wizard should appear.
8) Choose "No, not this time" and click next
9) Choose "Install from a list or specific location [Advanced]" and click next
10) Choose "Search for the best driver in these locations"
11) Check the box next to "Include this location in the search"
12) Browse to the Following location [CD Drive]:\OEM\APPS\Drivers\USB Modem
13) Click Next
14) A dialog box will pop up, click Continue Anyway
15) Click Finish to complete the driver installation
Connection setup
1) Go to Start - Control Panel - Network Connections
2) Choose "Create a new Connection"
3) Click Next
4) Choose "Connect to the Internet" and click Next
5) Choose "Set up my connection manually" and click Next

7) Choose any name you want for ISP Name and click Next
8) Type *99# in the Phone number field and click Next
9) User Name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Confirm password: CINGULAR1
Note: the username and password need to be all in caps
10) Click Next
11) Click Finish
That's it, you should have a connection that will dial up to Cingular's GPRS network. If you have Edge service in your area you will get Edge speeds."
The windows mobile software doesn't have the ability to be a host for a ad hoc, i looked into it. The way i do it is using bluetooth, I run linux and have bluetooth on my laptop and connect to my phone that way. It works well, just slow.
Well darn. I was hoping to be able to set up a wireless connection using wifi, but guess not. Thanks Ozoner for the tips on using the usb. I'll just have to haul the usb cable around I guess.

I have played around with this, but could never get it work. Any advice on how to configure?
Hello !
I use AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.2 Beta) for 3 days.
During these times, I had somes bugs but 3 of them need help from "you" !!
1. I CAN'T send MMS.
I create the differents settings like orange.fr (my provider) explained (create "networks" in "connections settings", create "connections", and change settings in "MMS configuration" with gateway and all data...).
When system try to send MMS, it connects correctly to GPRS using the "right" connection (means using the access point named "orange.acte"). After a few seconds (30s?), system tells me "unabled to send your message. The message will remain in the outbox".
In the other hand, I manage to connect internet (with IE for example)...
Any idea ??
2. virtual COM port does not seem to work
I would like to use two GPS softwares in same time : REPERION and VIAMICHELIN (french navigation soft).
So, I connect my GPS device in BT and make an "outgoing port" (COM 6). Then, I went to "GPS" settings and made a "software port" (COM 7) with a "hardware port" (COM 6 --> like my "outgoing port"). Then, I opened REPERION (already config with COM 7) and I had a message "21 : Error configuring port!". When I tried to launch VIAMICHELIN : "GPS found but no data send to soft".
I try to make a soft reset : same thing.
In fact, REPERION works with COM 6 (hardware port!!!!!!! ?!) and VIAMICHELIN in COM 6 "try to work" (work some seconds, then doesn't work, etc)...
So, what is "the connection process" or what I have to do ??
3. switch off prb
Sometimes, without any reasons, when I tap my power button (in order to put my BA in standby), It switchs off !! Then, I starts it again with a soft reset immediately in order to not lost my connections settings and my email account !!!
any idea ??
I think if I manage to resolve these 3 prbs, I will keep this ROM....
Please, help !
Some happy news
Dot 1 is resolved. After 3 days working on what's wrong...
What I do :
- I download form XDA ftp : Orange_Fr_SPVM2000_Ext_ROM_142179_WWE.rar
- Inside, I found : OrangeFR_Configuration_041406.sa.cab
- I execute this CAB on my BA. It created GPRS configuration
- I try MMS : immediately error message (no connection do GPRS)
- I went to "connections settings" and saw that this CAB has created two other connections (mines still there)
- I went to MMS configuration : I change the "connect via" with MY OLD made connection (the new connection that CAB specified was wrong).
- Big surprise : it worked !
The only thing I can see was that in "MMS configuration", I can't select a size up do 100k !! (before, I can choose 248k)
So, I think the CAB change more than the connections settings...
Is someone knows a reason...
But, it works now !
Guys
I am having real problems getting my GPS to talk to my XDA11i . the two devices appear to talk to each other ( flash furiously) but tom tom doesnt recognise it.
Bluetooth manager confirms there is an active connection.
I believe that the BT profile is not set up correctly.
I can go to BT settings and make a new profile , selecting serial transfer etc and then give the profile a name , BUT , each time I select the profile whilst the access permissions are still as set , when I open the services tab no services are selected ! despite selecting it when the profile was set up ?
Any thoughts here ?
Astro1
Go to BT parameter -> services -> serial port -> options
Write down IN/OUT port number, report the OUT port number to you GPS software.
If pb still exists, try to use "Franson GpsGate" or NMEA as connection within gps software.
Tried that !
Hi NewbiePDA
Been there and tried that , the outgoing port is port 6 and in tom tom 's configuration choices the choice of port 6 is the only oje that seems to get any where ( activity from the LED on the GPS unit ) all other port choices given turn off the GPS.
Ive got a copy of franson gpsgate but got nowhere with it ,
It has to be a simple configuration problem !
I have set up a spp profile in BT settings ( and called it tom tom ) I have ticked the serial connection and then Enable service box then closed down ( hit ok). Upon re opening the profile serial port choice is no longer chosen ? any ideas ?
Best Regards
Astro1
Hi Astro1,
I think that creating spp profile is unnecessary, my procedure is as below:
1) Pair you devices
BT -> BT manager -> tools -> pair device -> add
browse you BT devices then you should see you gps icon appear, click on it, then type you password to pair, usually is 0000
2) back to BT manager, choose "new", choose discover a BT device, again, you should see you gps device, click on it, normally you get spp service, just follow the step by clicking "next"...
If you can't see any services available then turn off you BT gps device, turn off you Xda2i BT, soft reset, then turn on gps, back to step 2)
3) If pb remains, probably it's due to tomtom's bt stack, try rename BtCoreIf.dll BtSdkCE30.dll (in \windows folder) to others name, or delete them.
Hope that helps.
re name or delete
Hi Newbe
I am trying to delete or rename the two files you note , I have seen this on other sites as well .
Like you XDA11i says that the files are in use and read only / archive /hidden or in use etc.
It will not let me touch them !
Any ideas of a file manager or software that will let me work on them ??

download and install gpsdash2 and in the connection settings click on auto config, it will find you gps receaver ad set itself up, this will also give you the correct bt settings, it will show you if everything is working okay. and some cool features.
i had to do this with my jentro bt unit
Hi Skeevee
Ive tried that one too .
GPS gate checks trhe ports and the blue led on the Bluetooth GPS unit flashes furiously ( as if they are talking ) , but GPS gate reports unable to find GPS ???
This is loosing me , it seems to me that the two devices are talking but that there is a comms / set up problem .
TT6 tries to talk to the GPS as well but gets no where ?

Hi!
Does anyone knows how to configure Palm Treo 750 to use Palm Sirf III GPS receiver on Google Maps?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
BT GPS
This is what I did with my BT Freedom Keychain GPS...
Turn on the GPS. Turn on BT, and search. Pair it (using the code provided - 0000 or 1234). Set up a comm port - I chose com8. Open the external GPS application - Start Settings System. Choose a free comm port (I used com0) in the Programs tab, then choose the BT comm port in the Hardware tab (com8 in my example). Under Access, check the box to allow sharing of the BT signal.
Go outside and turn on the GPS. Make sure BT is on, then go to GMM. Select Menu>Use GPS. You should see messages that GPS is initializing, number of sats used, and eventually see a flashing blue dot at your location. If that doesn't work, make sure that under the GPS settings in GMM you're using the first "automatic" setting. If you choose manually, you'll be conflicting with the external GPS app.
Make sense?

Thanks for the reply. It works like magic.
Hi all,
I used to use activesync and it would sync files between the phone (my docs) and a folder on the computer. Now I have moved to WMDC and Vista and the Diamond this no longer happens - when I set the device up I ticked 'files' to be sync'd but it aint happening.
I am not using advanced USB in the connection settings as with this ticked the phone was not recognised.
Anyone got any ideas?
Rich
Yup i know how to solve the problem:
1. Computer: Go to "bluetooth places"
2. Computer: Search to your device
3. Computer: Rightclick on it and "pair"
4. Computer: "Give a digitcode"
5. Touch Diamond: Enter the same code as in 4
6. Will he connects, he ask to connect via COM4, tick "Yes"
7. Touch Diamond: Go to start - Settings - Extern GPS - Com4 -> COM3
8. Computer: Go to Windows Mobile App. Center - Settings - partnership settings - Fill in the same like on this screen.
9. Touch Diamond: Go to "ActiveSync"
10. "Menu" - "Connect via Bluetooth". There will be asked to make a partnership, press "yes".
11. Tab "Devices" - Search your computer. When found, click on it - Modify - Renew - "Seriel port/ActiveSync". Tick it.
12. End
13. Reboot both devices
14. Go to "ActiveSync" on the TD. Choose for "Connect via bluetooth" and normally it will work now.
Well, I got the bluetooth sync working no problems - but still it will not sync my files
i think it is a setting in wmdc.
Got fed up - reinstalled Vista - got the device working using advanced networking - now it works Maybe it was a driver issue?
ya i got it working for my diamond too. I installed WMDC 6.1 and tried syncing..but it keep on giving me errors. I got fed up but I uninstall WMDC 6.1 and restart my pc. When vista starts, i immediately plug my diamond in and everything went fine..it sync!! And i got no idea how did WMDC went back to installed itself after i uninstalling it.
