Question
I get the message “No GPS Device” after installing Navigator 6 on my HP iPAQ 6510 or 6515. How do I select the internal GPS receiver in my iPAQ 6510 or 6515?
Answer
To select the your HP iPAQ 6510 or 6515's internal GPS receiver using Navigator 6, see following instructions:
1. Open the File Explorer and browse to the folder Navigator.
2. Delete the file navigator (be sure not to delete the file TomTom Navigator or you will need to reinstall the application).
3. Start TomTom NAVIGATOR 6.
4. When prompted, select Other NMEA GPS receiver.
5. Set the GPS baud rate to 4800.
6. Select Internal AGPS NMEA.
there is no sound after installing tomtom 6 and restard it?
hi
you have an answer to rename the btavui but I don't know how do it?
pleas help me or
send an e-mail at : [email protected]
thank you
Explore your pda with active sync. Open the folder windows. Rename the file "BtCoreIf.dll". Do a soft reset and the sound should be working now.

COM7: (maybe Other NMEA receiver, I don't know) at 57600 bauds.
The ipaq internal GPS is weird, and will be activated ONLY with the correct speed. Real port is on COM7: and using 57600 bauds speed
COM4: should work too, but seem to be linked with AGPS, which require EDGE or GPRS connection.
6510 and TomTom 6
I was following the link above. I have just installed TomTom 6 on my HW6510. I can get the sound working by renaming the file above. However I can't select the internal GPS receiver by following the instructions. I deleted the file Navigator (under the directory navigator) - on restarting TomTom this just asks me for preferences (language, left / right handed etc..) it does not give me any options for selecting the receiver.
I must be missing something but don't know what.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hard reset. Then make sure you have an up-to-date version of Tomtom 6. The first release wouldn't let you choose it as you first install it. In that version you would have to go to change preferences and find it in there. It wasn't hard but it was well hidden. If you have an up to date version it will ask you right when it installs. Good luck.
com7?
i dunno why , but my hp doesn't show com 7 anywhere. there are com 1, 4,5 and 9. but not 7
Here I compiled list of question and answer about using TomTom 6 with the HTC Kaiser. Forum Mods, if this is good enough, please make it sticky topic.
*** Which version of TomTom is in the Application CD?
6.032 (8351) - as of September 15, 2007
*** Is that full version or trial version?
It is called TomTom Taster Edition and It is full version, it will not expired, and there is no feature limitation compared to retail version.
*** Is it installed in the ROM by default?
No, it is not. You need to manually install it.
*** How to install it?
Connect to ActiveSync, from the HTC Kaiser Application CD, launch:
Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.EXE
*** I dont have that executable file in my HTC Kaiser Application CD!
Yes, you are not alone, probably you purchased North America version.

Or here (.CAB):
http://www.sendspace.com/file/9379xf (this link might not be permanent)
*** I have TomTom 6.030 (or prior version), what's the main difference?
6.032 has "Built-in Internal GPS" setting and the HTC Kaiser also have one.
*** Can I use/install other maps?
Yes you can. You can purchase additional maps (maps only), and then activate it.
*** Warning! Do not change the external GPS setting!
You should see "external GPS" icon in the Settings->System, do not change anything there.
You might need to hard-reset your device, more info:
http://www.modaco.com/word-warning-re-GPS-se-t258943.html
*** How can I use my own TomTom software?
So, you do not want to use TomTom from the Application CD.
Basically, you just need to install your own TomTom software and use this setting for the GPS:
- Other NMEA GPS receiver
- GPS baud rate = 4800
- GPS is connected to COM4:
For detailed information, check out here:
http://www.modaco.com/TomTom-Kaiser-t256790.html
*** How good is the internal GPS? Any problems?
From my own experience, it is working fine. Signal strength may vary and it depends on the situation (cloudy, clear sky, surounding area, buildings, etc.).
On average, I got satellite fix around 30 - 60 seconds.
However, some people experienced problems which you can follow here:
http://www.modaco.com/GPS-positioning-problems-t259285.html
Paul from MoDaCo.com, reported a bug
"The GPS bug seems to occur with some applications whereby the GPS 'data stream' will pause for a few seconds at a time, which makes some apps think the GPS has gone away (e.g. Google Maps) and other apps just update in sudden jumps rather than smoothly."
http://www.modaco.com/Paul-Reviews-HTC-P45-t256569.html
But, I think that problem is intermittent (randomly occur).
*** How about TomTom PLUS service?
Check out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328444
*** TomTom always start with NO SOUND, why?
It's a bug, you have to switch off the data connection before starting TomTom.
SIMPLE FIX: Roll the volume wheel and sound turns on.
Thanks to all XDA-Dev users, Paul and other users from MoDaCo.com
Feel free to add more information in here
I added this thread to the wiki.
The above is all good info.
However, if you are having problems do not believe that the above is the only setup that will work.
I happen to use a bluetooth setup from time to time and have used the external GPS settings without problems.
A working setup for me for intermal GPS uses Other NMEA on COM 9 at a Baud Rate of 19200. In the Tomtom settings.
All other GPS programmes I use are set to COM9
When I setup the bluetooth I have it set to:
Serial Port (ticked)
Outgoing Port COM 9
Authentication (unchecked)
External GPS (in System menu)
(Perform a full backup before changes here - due to reports that changes here may ruin the GPS connection requiring a hard-reset to get it going again)
GPS Programme Port COM9
Hardware (None)
Access (Manage GPS automatically - ticked)
By the way the basic freeware plotting applications I use DO NOT require the clumsy workaround of starting tomtom in order to open the internal GPS. That problem seems to be limited to an issue with Google Maps.
NB
Other ports will work - eg COM0 but you must ensure that for example if you set outgoing port in bluetooth (if you also use BT GPS) to COM0 then it will also be COM0 in tomtom or any other GPS software. Any mismatch and you'll wait forever!
NB
In the tomtom satellite screen (the one that shows aseries of columns for each satellite - there is a useful verbal comment at the top of the screen it will say one of three things:
1
No GPS Device - (always says this initially for 2/3 seconds. If things are set correctly it will move to 2 but if your ports are wrongly set it will stay on this)
2
No Valid GPS Signal - (means it has found internal GPS device and is trying to find satellites - anything from 2 or 3 seconds to couple of minutes if you have not used Quick GPS, it will then move to 3 if you are in range of satellites)
3
Other NMEA GPS Receiver - (says this when locked on to satellites and working correctly)
The above 3 steps are useful to just check whether the setup and port is correct. Even if you do not want to use tomtom it's worth running it at least once just to iron out any port problems.

How?
I copy the folders of others maps into the microsd, bit if i go to settings- change maps I can't see them! Then i can't put the code to activate them!
What i'm doing wrong?

Tried to install this 6.032 version on my TyTN II but got the following error on the device upon starting the installation: "Setup Error: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again." - any ideas? Thanks ...
Would be happy to pay for the software / maps if they wouldn't it make all that difficult to get it installed for a trial ...
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I can't get the On board GPS to kick up and when I look under settings, the only thing there is "External GPS"....
How do you get it to use the internal GPS?

Are you sure u installed 6.032 Tom Tom release? Is the version caming with CD and is not in Tom Tom web. Is the only version that works with internal GPS; but youet guy. can have problems to install it, if you have a previous version.
There is no "internal GPS" icon in the "Settings", only "external GPS"
And dont mess around with the "external GPS", you might need to hard-reset.
TomTom 6.032 has its own setting to use the "internal GPS".

I would disagree with that. Other versions of tomtom DO work. But in tomtom's "configure" select other NMEA instead of internal GPS

I agree. I wanted say is the only version capable to tune internal GPS from Tom Tom program. I know versions 6, 6.02 and 6.03 works with othen NMEA and port 4, but my impresion is with internal get satellites faster.
Is there a way for TomTom to give the vocal instruction through the Bluetooth headset ?
Thanks

Anyone get a wrong rom error when installing 6.032? UK T-Mob.
Yes me too
As I understood, the T-Mobile version does not have TomTom Taster edition included in the application CD, correct???
If that's the case, I am afraid that the TomTom 6.032 from the HTC Kaiser "unlocked" version is a special build only for that unlocked model.
Just use 6.030, it works fine (read in the FAQ).
Yeah i guess if the rom numbers dont match up, it wont let you install. Not on Taster CD.
Using 60.30 now 8)
No TOMTOM love...
My Kaiser just showed up today and there' no TOMTOM on the apps cd.
What gives?

I installed the Tom Tom and the one free Map, but I still have the same issue I had with Google maps of having to run GPS Viewer to start up the GPS.
I'm sure its a configuration issue for Tom Tom but I can't figure out what the problem is.
You got problem with Google maps and you thought that is TomTom configuration issue? ...

Hi, i install on my at&t tilt the TomTom v. 5.21 but when i set the parameters of gps in start-settings-system-external gps with the following data:
Programs: GPD1
Hardware: COM4
Baund Rate: 115200
Access: option flagged
the tilt after the reboot doesn't store the parameters that i have just selected.
What must i do to set the tomtom with internal antenna???
My best regards
Francesco
You need to install tomtom 6.032. That has intern gps in his software..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355275
I had also problems with my gps but it works. Just install GPS Test on you device and check it out.
5,21 will work fine on your device, put the GPS Aplet settings back to what they were and don't touch them, this is what is messing up your system. Start TomTom and go to change preferences/ GPS Status and press configure, set the GPS port up within the TomTom application, when the little yellow/ blue disk on the top right of the GPS Status page is spinning it is working, if it is stationary you have a setting wrong - Mike
Hi i have installed the versione 6 and i have selected "other GPS NMEA"
anyone can help me to set the tomtom and the parameters in the external gps menu??
Many Thanks!!

i was wondering what wwere the settings for internal gps to work with some maps
i think you have to install a gps software like tomtom or else to access settings but i i donc find any option on gps on mine (only some dev app )
well i got tomtom but it says
"no satellite connetions, no gps device etc."
i remeber reading somewere that i think u gotta goto external gps device under settings and change settings
and for gps reciver i choose in tomtom
other nmea gps receiver
In TomTom, you should be able to choose "Other NMEA Receiver" then BAUD 57600 works well for me. After that click on COM4.
IF you don't find it; look in Preferences -> GPS STATUS -> Configure.
TomTom version 6.032. From Touch Cruise.

im using tomtom 6.3, i dont see "com4" option under pref or were i changed nmea.
it says waiting for a valid gps signal
Im on MapKing 2007 and what i did was set the GPS to com4 and baudrate at57600...it work great for me...
sorry guys it's a noob question but i need to know how to get my GPS up and running on my Diamond. I don't have a gps program yet but i have the HTC Gps tool. How can i make sure that my GPS is running with the HTC Gps Tool?
You can check or test your GPS by using google maps in the programs.
Google maps have a option wich works with the internal GPS.
Standard it works with the antennas so you have to choose by GPS.
You will see its more accurate.
Grtzzzz

if u dont have a gps program why do u need to run the GPS?
in THC gps tool:
port 4 br 57600
open the com port see that the data streams in the listbox and go to the satellites tab and wait till they will b found ( turn to green).
Run GPS Tool, choose COLD start/boot, and wait for your GPS to get a sat fix. This may take a while...
btw, you DO KNOW, that it won't work indoors?
