Tom Tom & Fortuna GPS

[Soad]

Have just installed Tom Tom 5.210 on my Ipaq 4150 and have connected up my Fortuna clip on GPS according to the instructions from there site:

1. Switch on the Clip-On BTGPS.
2. Turn on your device.
3. Go to “Bluetooth Manager” on your device.
4. Select “Search for BT devices”.
5. After found the” Clip-On BTGPS” then “Select” and “Save” it.
6. Go to “Action” and select “SPP slave.”
7. Enter the pass key “0000” if required.
8. Click on the “Clip-On BTGPS” icon and then a 2 way arrow shows the Bluetooth is linking.
9. The Clip-On Bluetooth GPS LED light should be on and it means the Bluetooth link has been established.
10. Start your software application.
11. Turn on map, there is a setting feature. Do not use auto detecting mode. Manually set up the GPS at proper Com Port (usually is Com Por 8 or 5, if both do not work, please try others), Baudrate 38400, and NMEA0183 V2.2 binary.

The blue light is flashing on the GPS but when I start Tom Tom its says no GPS found and the instructions from Fortuna are not helping, any ideas?

Any information will be greatly appreciated

It sounds like your set-up in TomTom is at fault, run-up TomTom then go to preferences/ Show GPS Status - at the top RH corner is blue/ Yellow disk this will spin if communication is working. If not press the configure button and try "Other Cable NMEA GPS" set your Baud speed then on the final page select the Bluetooth outgoing com port, give this a try and let us know what you find - Mike
