GPS Holux GR-231 And IPaq HX 4700

[FBU]

Hi,

I just baught an IPaq HX 4700 and a GPS Holux GR-231.
I tested the Holux GPS on an IPaq 3870 and on an Ericsson P910 and it worked successfuly.

Now, with the HX 4700, i can detect the gps through the bluetooth manager and even connect on it via the mapped COM8 bluetooth serial port. But... it seems that no data are transferred between the GPS and the pda. The status of the connection displays a little red square in place of several (4?) green squares. In the GPS viewer (test tool provided by Holux) no detection of the GPS can be done when all COM ports available are scanned.
Of course, the navigation software does not work aswel.

I begin to be a little desesperated

Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

Fred

Have you paired the GPS with the 4700 ? If not you'll need to do this in the Bluetooth Manager using passkey 6268.

What you don't say is which navigation software you've installed on the hx4700. If it's TomTom Navigator 3, upgrade to version 3.07 (including GPS 3.07), otherwise things will likely not work correctly.

The downloads can be found in the downloads area of support.tomtom.com

Have you gotten your iPAQ hx4700 to work with the GR231?
I will be setting upi the same combo, however, with CoPilot 5.

Thanks,
