GPS antenna

I've recently purchased an EverMore GM-R900 GPS receiver, connected to the 750v serial port through a mini-DIN adapter (which also includes power input from the car adapter). The question is : how do I map the serial (data) to make it available to other apps (other than active sync, which seems to be the only user of the serial...) ? I tried with GPS Gate but unsuccessfully, I cant find the correct source. Has anybody experienced something similar, yet? Perhaps with some carholder with integrated gps?

UP! C'mon.....is there a way? I've also tried with gpsgate but maybe I'm using the wrong parameters....... I've tried (from WM gps config) to map every port but I'm not getting a thing on any of them. The antenna itself seems to be working.

Still No GPS Device Found
Hi Guys,
Thanks in advance, i have gone through this site numerous times but still haven't been able to get my TomTom working on my new Treo750 and Ox-XDA IIs both running WM6.
I have GPS receiver in my cradle which works like a jam on my previous Treo650 (Running PalmOS). But since upgrading to this WM device it has become a night mare can't get it right particularly the way windows is handling com ports.
Can any one please guide me on how to get it going as I don't have PDA with in-build GPS receiver nor bluetooth receiver only this serial connected receiver.
Thanks
Nilesh

not sure i understood
If you have the tom tom software from your 650 and you are trying to use it on wm6 ,it is more than liely a software problem.
i have tom tom running on my 750,with a sirfstar 3 bluetooth gps unit, with no problems but the software came with the device.
If I am not mistaken tom tom allow you a device change every so often, in which case you will be able to download the correct software for your device.

can I use the topaz as a modem (and some other advice) please

Hi all.
Thinking of getting either a HTC TD2 or a HTC touch HD
the general feeling is that the td2 is the one to go for (i am sure that apart from the screen size the td2 is better)
As i have to ditch orange (they have just stopped the htc thd) I thought i might get a data bundle.
Is it possible to get a data bundle and then use the phone as a modem for my laptop (thus saving having to buy a dongle)?
also, sorry about this, but can you confirm if either the thd or td2 will work with tomtom6.
If not i presume i have to buy both tt7 and a whole raft of maps.
Any other advice for a newbie potential owner is appreciated
Thanks

Use the TD2 as a modem:
- Connect laptop and TD2 by pairing with BlueTooth or using a USB cable.
- On the TD2, run the wm6 default program Internet Connection Sharing and choose either BT or USB
- On your laptop, right click the BT systray icon and connect to PAN network

Thanks for the prompt reply
sorry for being thick but i dont think i Have a BT systray
so long as its possible thats ok
all i need to do now is choose which phone and find the best place to buy one
Thanks

Better to plug your phone into the laptop using USB, that way the laptop keeps the phone powered while you're surfing.
When you plug the phone in, it will ask you if you want Antivesync, Data Drive or Connection Sharing. Just select Connection Sharing and all will be doodly.
TT6 doesn't work - you need TT7 (7.910 or 7.915) and yes you have to re-purchase all your maps. Also, the TD2 is not supported by Tomtom which means you cannot use any services such as Traffic so you'll have to disable them.

Kaiser TV out with touch pro cable

Hy I have a Kaiser and I would know if there is the possibility to connect my smartphone to the Tv with this cable:
http://www.expansys.it/p.aspx?i=170917
I also see some post of xda and I see some thread talking about some software or drivers for the settings of tv out:

and also for the htc diamond:

could it be possible to do also on Kaiser??
(it's my first thread and I''m sorry for my english )

could someone help me??

The Kaiser does not have the necessary hardware for TV out, so even with all the necessary cables and software, it still won't work.

ok
thanks a lot

Smart foldable keyboard KB600

Same problem here............ PLEEase help

HTC HD2 and BK600 COM ONE/OMIZ/FREEDOM bt keyboard issue
Hi,
first, accept apologies, because i repost a message posted in the wrong thread (same problem, but not same phone)
Home \ HTC Diamond: Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV \ Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories \ Bluetooth Keyboard BK600 problem
anyway, they explain that my com one bk600 is the same than omiz and freedom KB600. So, i've tested 2 drivers
1) Installing omiz one, it proposes me several choices (my model is not in it), but i've used to have this installer (older version) work for my old acer n50 and my pharos. I guess i've to choose a model with arm and widcomm bt.
No success, it seems that the software installed, but the application claims it's not a valid ppc applicaiton (strange because it worked one time and fails saying that there is not enough memory when clicking activate)
2) i've tested the freedom universal keyboard (second choice)
The driver installs perfectly; on the htc hd2 side i've paired the devica and grant connexions (the wizard report that the device is connected and the keyboard double green blink -- thats mean it's ok ) , but when i go to program files freedom utility and start it and click on connect, it claim that the device is not paired.
here where i'm. To bad, because having it works onACER n50 and HTC pharos.
Quoting another user, to pay $80 for 3 years lifetime...
Any ideas ???
Best regards,
Ludovic.

got the same problem. (BK600 and HD2)
Any success yet?

got the same problem here. i tried many drivers i found on the internet, none worked for me
next step is: i try to find a universal driver that can select a com-port manually to link with the bluetooth comport. maybe some infrareddriver can do this, because infrared also uses com-ports.
the problem is, the drivers are for microsoft bluetooth stacks and i.e. a hd2 uses broadcom as far as i know.
i hope anyone can find a solution

SPP keyboards do not work for WM builds 6 and over. This problem has existed for years and no one has found a solution.
I suggest you ditch the SPP keyboard and go with one that supports a HID profile.

Hi guys,
I had the BK600 keyboard and found these drivers to work:
It installs the proper program and works only through the programs. Do not bother trying to pair it with WM settings.
This also works on Symbian. I attached the files for you to test.
I am wondering whether there is an Android version that I can use with my HD2?

I was able to get the freedom BK600 keyboard working succesfully with my old windows mobile 6.1 Treo 800w phone. I found your WinCE.zip (30.0 KB) driver worked best with windows mobile 6.1. It places an executable called BTKeybd under the programs menu.

For Android users, please use Key Pro by Mobile Gears. It is the only SPP bluetooth enabled app that I can find. Works perfectly with my Android.

[Q] HTC Tilt ExtUSB usage

Greetings All,
Phone: HTC Tilt
OS: WinMo 6.1
I have searched this site and others looking for references to using the ExtUSB connection for RS232 data many times. I have found quite a few references to updating ROMs, unbricking and even Android use but none for anyone using the HTC Tilt ExtUSB connector for plain old data communication.
My question is: can the ExtUSB be used for RS232?
If the answer is yes, then a link would be appreciated.
If no, is there a phone recommendation that uses WinMo in which the ExtUSB is useable for RS232 serial data. In my project, this phone may be lost or destroyed in its final run. Older low cost units are good!
I am aware of the need to level shift, etc.
Before you ask, I am using a Bluetooth dongle to get data through it. I just happen to need a second port.
Thank you all for taking time to read my posting!
Best regards,
Fred
