Hi Helmi. I installed your ROM and I can say that it works fine.
Today I installed Tom Tom 5.21 and I see that TT does not recognize my Bluetooth GPS. I am able to see it as I installed the GPS bluetooth thourgh the BT menu, but in TT does not work.
What can i do for?. Thanks
You need to name your GPS device something like BT-GPS it must finish in GPS when you setup the device then you need to assign it a comport ie 6 and then pair it in tomtom to com 6
Hi. Thanks for your help. I tried to make the adjustment as you suggested, but it does not work.
I have paired the GPS bluetooth with BT software, but when I use Tom Tom with com 6 (port assigned to the GPS) i don't see any paring.
What i can do then?.
Thanks
Hi there,
Has anyone made a TMC device working on the Athena?
I tried some version of the GNS FM9 adpaters but nothing worked.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Have a good start into 2008.

I agree - this would be very useful. I have iGo on my Ameo and it is brilliant (cant wait for iGo 8 or MioMap 2008 for the 3d visuals and road names) but it would be even better if I could get warned of upcoming hold ups on the major roads!

Hi,
just a question from my side:
I'm currently using igo with my Ameo and I have to wait and wait and wait and wait for the first GPS fix. It takes normaly between 5 and 15 Minutes until the first fix, even if I use the Quick-GPS Tool that comes with the Ameo. After that, everything works fine. How long does it take with your device and igo?
If I use my GNS GPS receiver (http://www.gns-gmbh.com/de/30_5843.php) I need only a few seconds until the first fix. And it supports TMC!!! I've searched a lot around to find another / cheaper solution to use TMC with the integrated GPS receiver, but I didn't find a working solution, so i decided to buy the GNS GPS receiver....
Regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
hmm... thank for the link. That would be really the last chance to get TMC working for the ameo.
FYI, I use Mobile Navigator 6 and it fixes the gps signal really quick. I also use the Quick GPS and when I start MN6 the GPS signal fixes within 1 minute.

Hey Andreas,
sorry to trouble you again but we are using the igo plus and the same gps as you the GNS 5843 but we can get the gps to work but not the TMC everytime we try to connect the TMC the pda just frezzes like the port has a conflict.
We have only been trying this in landscape mode can you tell me in which mode you are using the igo Portrait or Landscape.
Please can you help me in get this to work because I really like the Igo plus more the any anothe navigators.
Thanks
Gigino
Hi Gigino,
hmmmm, strange, for me it works. And yes, I'm using the landscape modus.
Sounds for me, that Igo uses the internal GPS receiver an tries to find a TMC connection on this internal GPS receiver.
Some Ideas from my side:
If you connect the GNS receiver via bluetooth, which serial port do you use? I've configured the bluetooth settings and then the COM-connections (I hope this are the right terms, I'm using a german ROM) with COM1 and secure connection. For instance Mobile Navigator 6 expects the TMC Signal only on COM1 and doesn't accept other ports.
The internal GPS Receiver is connected to Com4 on my system: GPS Settings -> Programms: Com4 and ->Hardware: None, 4800 Baud and -> Access: Automatic.
In a few words: internal GPS receiver on COM4, external GPS Receiver via bluetooth connected to COM1.
Do you have / use the test software from GNS to test, if youre GPS receiver is ok? You can download it on their page.
Last hint: Sometimes (Mobile Navigator6: every time!) you have to start the Navigator software twice to get a connection to the GNS 5843. It's a known bug for this receiver
Hope all this helps, otherwise contact me again
Regards Andreas

Hey Andreas,
thanks for your help I well try again over this weekend.
They is another problem that I have and I've tryed everything but cannot resolve it.
I use the Igo Plus in landscape mode when I'm using the map and I get a reminder or a call the screen revertes to portrait mode and after accept the call or dismissing the reminder all the buttons in the Igo software goes all funny.
Do you have the same problem or have you find a way to correct this problem.
Thanks
Gigino
Ah I have this problem if the keyboard is attached but not if it isnt. What happens is that for some wierd reason the screen gets INVERTED! If you imagine where the button should be if it were upside down you can click it! Most odd!

Hi,
I can confirm this also, the screen is inverted meens, that it looks ok, but you you have to touch it in an inverted way. I.e. the button is on the left upper corner of the screen, but you to click in the right lower area. Thats really strange. I've have the feeling, that this happens very often, if you use the Map view instead of the cockpit view.
@ gigino: I use the ameo with a brodit mount without the keyboard, so I don't have this problem.
In my last message is a little mistake, you have to switch OFF (and not ON) the automatic access in the GPS settings.
Regards
Andreas
Due to lag problems with the internal GPS i would like to use an esternal bluetooth GPS reciever with with IGO8. I have got this to work with TT& but only have the local map for this. When I try to set up in IGO8 I can't find a settings page. Is it possible to do this or am I missing something obvious.
You have to make connection to your bluetooth GPS receiver, assign COM port and then in iGO select that COM port and speed. And it'll work ;-)

check also settings/external GPS.
For reasons I won't bore you with, I need to use my external GPS BT unit with Route 66. The version of Route 66 I have does not seem to allow you to set manualy any GPS settings and instead needs to be done through External GPS of Windows.
Problem is, my bt unit is paired and says its Com0 but if I try to change this in External GPS from "none" to Com0 it always defaults back to "none" meaning I can't lock.
Im using Swiftblade 7 with radio 25.5, any ideas?
edit: sorry, did try search but didn't come up with anything usefull.
i have the same problem..

you should try to follow instructions by agorapho99 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2591556
If your GPS SW is too old to work with GPS intermediate driver on Windows Mobile, I recommend that you find port splitter SW to do the job. I use "JAL Port Splitter for WM6" to make Mapopolis work with HTC Diamond internal GPS. You can google for it, it is freeware.
Yeasterday I installed VirtualGPS, it works good also with googlemaps and tomtom setting COM0 port, BUT when I turn back to my "standard" GPS It doesn't work any more, I setted "Other NMEA GPS receiver", Baud rate 4800, Com4 BUT nothing. Now I can't use the real gps with any program (google map, tomtom, igo) BUT i can use virtualgps!
I ried to unistall virtualgps ... but nothing.
Is there anything that I can do before an hard-reset?
Is it possible to use the real GPS and sometimes virtual gps?
Thanks
No one tried this software on diamond?
have you tried using the htc gps tool? it worked for my tomtom
