you don't normally need to bond them. In the BlueTooth manager, select "connect to BlueTooth serial port" and then select the receiver from the list. Make a note of the port that it uses and specify that in the TomTom GPS applet. Set the speed to 38400 NMEA.

If you have trouble with TomTom not showing the porper port then you will need to remove the TomTom GPS driver completely (don't forget to do a soft reset before you try this) and then re-install the TomTOm GPS driver 2.07 from our downloads page.

Just to re-emphasize: You don't need to bond the devices but you MUST connect to the serial SPP of the receiver at least once from within the BT manager, otherwise it will not work.

go to the bluetooth manager and connect to the serial port of your BT receiver. You must see a "Connected" message or icon befiore you proceed.

then go to Start > Settings > System > GPS , on the GPS tab select NMEA 38400 and Bluetooth COM port 6 (if that doesn't work, try the other one)

Back on the first tab you should see the black dots running if all is OK.
