Dear all,
I have installed Tomtom6 (not the one from CD) into my Kaiser. Can load the map.
However, it does not recgonize the internal GPS. How should I configure the Tomtom and/or Kaiser?
Currently tomtom only has 4 options:
1. TomTom Bluetooth GPS Receiver
2. TomTom Wired GPS Receiver
3. Other Bluetooth GPS receiver
4. Other NMEA GPS receiver
Which one should I choose?
I tried to choose option 4, after that, it prompts me to choose either com4 or com7. So i picked com4. But with no luck.
Or do I need to configure somewhere else from Kaiser? Please help. Thanks!
Not sure if this will work as the version that comes with it is specific to the Kaiser. Why are you using another version? The bundled version works fine and you can add other maps to it with no problems....

Thanks for the replies!!!
Here in Hong Kong, the application CD does not have tomtom included. (BAD DISTRIBUTOR!!!)
I randomly make the tomtom6 works for me.
Step 1: hard reset the Kasier, then install tomtom6
Step 2: set the External GPS to COM4
Step 3: configure GPS, choose Other NMEA GPS Receiver, COM4, 57600
Step 4: wait for awhile to search the satellite, then it works!
Hopefully it helps for other people.

I tried MapKing 2007, refresh rate is bad. I know it's Mapking's problem. So I switched to Tomtom6 and it works great up to now!

I use in my MicroPC Microsoft Streets and in my Hermes i-GO. Can I use i-GO with the internal gps of the kaiser? What is TouchFlo? Thank You and sorry if that questions are answered in the site, I did not found them.

If I understand you correctly
1. you want to know whether you can share the GPS receiver in the Kaiser with your laptop - Yes but you will need something like Franson GPS Gate to share the built-in GPS signal over activesync or BT.
2. Yes, iGo works fine with th internal receiver.

Do you know what is TouchFlo?
TouchFlo is the finger scrolling of menus and panning pictures and web pages. It's inlcuded in the Tilt ROM.

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.

Thanks

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
I've brought this GPS: http://www.techfocus.co.uk/GPS-Rece...TFSN20&tduid=9c2b6aadcc4ca8e0d3f6a72baf759c60
but can't get it to find any satellites on S730 trough Google maps or Route66 (Route66 says no GPS). If anyone has the tool or any tips, please let me know
Edit: Found the GPStool and it finds three satellites and has fairly good reception, but Route66 doesn't find it.. says there is no GPS...
try to move around
hi
set in bluetooth settings for gps receiver com# port and in the route66 (gpstool) set bluetooth GPS receiver on com#.

Thanks I had done that, but I found my mistake... I don't get to connect to any satellites where I live, so I have to drive some meters before I get any signal...
Thanks everyone
Or try this app
I have T-mobile Vario IV (Raphael) with built in GPS receiver. In NoniGPSPlot software I can read GPS data on COM4 port, but I couldn't manage to make GPS working on garmin software because software is searching for BT GPS receiver. If someone knows how to make garmin + raphael working together I will be grateful.

H.

The answer has been posted before....you should really search.
You have to register the software first to allow Garmin XT to work with other gps's than Garmins.
