Hi, I have just upgraded to TomTom 5 and brought a BT-338 receiver. I have tested the receiver with a laptop and all is fine. I cannot get it to work with TotTom on my Ipac 5450. I have tried with the Bluetooth manager running (Device is paired) and without. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong. I cannot even see it with the test software. _________________ Pete

This has nothing to do with TTN5.
Go to Bluetooth settings, advanced, services, serial port, and make a note of the outgoing port - that's the one you need to use.
In Bluetooth manager, amke sure you have connected to the SPP service of the receiver. Pairing is nice, but not required. _________________ Lutz

Hi, Thanks for the reply. My IPAC is running 2003. I have checked the serial port and it is on Com 8.
I cannot find any reference to SPP in the Bluetooth manager. I have checked and the outgoing connection is showing on the ipaq but the inbound area is empty.
Any help would be much appreciated.## _________________ Pete

In Bluetooth Manager search for new devices, once it found the BT-338, tap it to find the available services. Find the SPP service and connect to it. _________________ Lutz

Hi,
I don't know if this will work for you, but I have a SPV M2000, and I had the same problems you are having. find out what your out going com port is then.
In Tom Tom 5 select other cable NMEA GPS NOT Other Bluetooth GPS, set baud to 38400 and choose Com Port ? (whatever your out going port is).
And it should work!
I hope this info helps.

hi im having the same com port problems with BT338
blutooth sets up com port 8 outgoing 5 incoming
but when i scroll through all the options on tom tom gps comport 8 is not in any of the selectable options
I done a few tests
gps info (globsat testing software) loaded on ipaq without tom tom loaded and conects fine and com port 8 available in the options
loaded on tom tom software and com port 8 availability is gone in gps info software options (disapered for some reason)
is it a tom tom software issue ?
or is the ipaq issue ?
can the outgoing com port for the bluetooth device be set maually ?
tried updating with latest tom tom gps and it gives a couple more com ports available but not com 8
tried tom without gps info software on (in case it was a conflict)
looks like tom tom gps cant see the device on com port 8
spent a lot of money puting this lot together
if anybody has a solution to this LMK by mail or pm or post here |

This issue had me stumped for a few minutes too...
Don't select Bluetooth GPS in TomTom
Select "Other Cable NMEA GPS" not Bluetooth GPS
Baud Rate 38400
Bluetooth Serial Port COM8:
You may need to click in the Bluetooth Browser BT-GPS-xxx
Hope that Helps! |
