|
|
I have a Tom Tom BT gps receiver and i am trying to run destinator 3 software but it won't work.
Through the destinator software i slect gps settings but when i search i get the salt shaker and nothing happens.
My outbound com port is com 5 and i've tried different baud rates and still wont find the gps.
I kept on getting lock ups with tom tom so i thought i'd try my Dad's destinator instead.
Not much luck with this sat nav lark.
I am using a XDA II |

If TomTom is still installed then it locks the BT Com Port for its own exclusive use.
To resolve uninstall 'TomTom~GPS' in 'Remove Programs'. This won't affect TomTom but will allow other apps to see the BT Com Port. _________________ Darren Griffin |

What ROM Version are you running on the XDAII? 1.72 is the latest which fixes numerous BT Issues. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Hi Darren,
I have just bought an XDA II from a friend, I know the ROM version is not the latest V1.72.
Where can I download the latest file?
Thanks,
Iain |

Thanks Darren,
I'll download today!
Sorry to be a continued pain, but I'm about to purchase Destinator 3.0.75 for my XDA II and am looking for a compatable BT GPS Receiver. Can you recommend one?
Would the Globalsat BT338 or Royaltek Blue GPS Mini RBT-1000 fit the bill?
Thanks again. |

Firstly where are you located, which country?
Secondly may I ask why you have decided to go with Destinator?
Re. the BT GPS, the Globalat BT338 is a superb receiver, that would eb my choice. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Hi Darren,
Sorry, I should have given you all the details to allow you to advise me correctly.
I currently live in the UK but am about to emigrare to Perth Australia.
After a fair bit of research on this and Ozi GPS websites I concluded that Destinator, Copilot or Navman SmartST were systems that had good map support in Australia.
Thanks in anticipation of your continued help. |
