i wanna buy a new bluetooth gps device for my xda IIi, but I can't decide what to buy..I'd pleased if u have any suggestions pls?
which one is most compatible? (I live in Istanbul,Turkey)
Is 16 channel ok or should I need a 32 channel device?
I heard that there's another popular gps software other than tomtom but I can't remember its name, are these devices compatible with most popular softwares or just tomtom?
Thx in advance..
I yhink that the best bluetooth PS receiver is Globalsat BT 339. It works flawlessly and is extremely sesitive to satellite signal. Another good aplication for GPS is Destinator 6.
i plan to buy a bluetooth gps receiver.
i just have some question before buying one
- will any bluetooth gps receiver work with niki? are there known receivers that will not work?
- i currently have a mapking software on niki and a map of my city, is the bluetooth gps receiver all i need for it to work? by work i mean it'll tell you where you are, where to go, etc...
thanks!
I have an adapt AD-350 bluetooth GPS receiver.
Works like a dime! It 'only' cost me 50 euro's (dixons, the netherlands).
Works with any app that can use GPS, (for all I know).

How to setup
Could someone tell me how to setup GPS connection over Bluetooth? I have a Nokia GPS which was working on normal HTC Touch and I just can't get it work on Nike... This is what I did:
1. Turn on GPS
2. Turn on Bluetooth on Nike
3. Search for BT device, Nokia is found
4. Enter code
5. Select serial port (the only port offered)
6. I create an outgoing port (e.g. COM2) for Nokia (in settings/connections/setting/bluetooth)
7. I set GPS program port to the previously created outgoing port in setting/system/External GPS)
8. I set GPS port number in iGO...
What did I wrong? Please help me.
Thank you in advance
That's all correct. I can't see what's the problem there.
Me neither... On my old iPaq (WinMo 2003) is a lot easier to connect as there is a connect feature in Bluetooth manager. In WinMo 2006 there is no such possibility... How can a bluetooth connection to GPS initialized without iGO? How could I connect from Windows to test the connection?
mapping software
i live in the us where can i get a free mapping software with map? because i dont want to access any data...
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.
Regards,
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.
I think many people, including me, would like this.
http://www.locosystech.com/product.php?zln=en&id=49
and here is the specifications.
http://www.locosystech.com/download/receiver/TMC2001~3_datasheet_v1.0.pdf
I had a few emails with the support people, here is a relevant excerpt:
"Regarding to navigation software, our TMC Protocol has been supported by
major navigation software providers,
such as : Destinator, Horizon, iGo, Maction, Mapfactor, Sygic. "
All the rest is in the specs.
Problem is, it connects with mini USB. OK, mini to micro converters do exist, but will it still work?
Hmm, doesn't seem so. It has a USB conector, but which isn't carrying USB signals, it has a simple serial port instead. So the PND would have to be specifically made to work with it.

That is indeed a better price. so bought one.
Can confirm it is working well with iGo8. receiving TMC without a problem.
The only annoying thing is you need to connect the com2 manually. if you have done that it works.
looking for a solution on this. so far not found.
There is also the Royaltek RTG 2000 Bluetooth GPS/TMC receiver. You can get one for around €90 and it works just fine with iGO.
THE HD2 has TMC build in
if that is the case, good news.
please explain to us how to use it in navi program.
so far no one got it to work without bluetooth receiver.
shine the light..
Bump, I liked to know to get that working !
Confirm that
GNS TrafficBoxPlus FM9BT-C (google it) is working fine with HD2 and Igo8
please explain
Please explain!!

Bump Up ! is it true? That would be so nice!
it is just a loose comment made and never explained how to.
when you look in the hypergps thread it is stated that it does not work on the HD2.
* BCM432x Chipset:
HTC Rhodium, HTC Leo, HTC Mega
Supports radio functions if renaming FMSDKWrapper.dll to FMS_API.dll with the above driver. RDS data cannot be received.
We are working on this device. Related thread: FM Transmitter on HD2
Have a look at this

this is the hyperGPS thread i mentioned before and the second post in the link says:
NOT supported devices
HTC Rhodium/Leo cannot receive RDS data by using GFMAPI.

Hmmmm...
When using FM radio, i can see station names, recieved via RDS.
Example: "SKY radio"

Yes, that's RDS, not TMC....

If i have understood it right rds and tmc is transferred the same way but the problem is extraction of the tmc data. the piece of software used for that named gfmapi does not work with the BCM432x Chipset build in the HD2
so far nobody managed to write software that can do this for our chipset.
for the time being we are left with the working bleutooth tmc receiver solution.
Another potential USB solution?
After extensive googling I found this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Evesham-Nav-Cam-7500-Tmc-Kit-12-VOLT-USB-CAR-CHARGER-/370400305941
It is a GNS FM9; I bought one. At first sight the connector seemed to be a standard mini USB (that is easy to convert to micro USB). Well, it IS USB, but the 8-pin type that is widely used in digital camera connectors by Fuji, for example. I opened it up; the first attached image shows how it looks inside. Looks fairly standard USB colour coding, although pin 4 (the black) is also wired.
I have an RJ11 type that I used with my Axim X51 through a windscreen mount. The second and third image show how that one is wired; attached as comparison / reference.
I understand that I would need USB host functions to use the first one with the HD2, which is under development. But could some clever folks confirm that it would be possible to solder a micro USB connector to it and end up with a usable hardware? Of course, subject to driver availability.
I am interested in whether Garmin XT installed on HD2 HTC phone supports work with TMC (without external devices) and if so, what is needs to make this possible.
TMC will not work with Garmin XT
There are already some post about TMC not working in the HD2 without a external device.
