I have an xda 2 with tomtom 5 installed but cant get the bluetooth gps reveiver to talk to it, the xda can see it but the blue light on the gps flashes every 3 seconds.

Have tried all what it says in the instructions but still cant get it working together any advise or help would be great

thanks chris

Have you got the GPS unit paired with the reciever? then use "other wired NMEA device" in the GPS set-up within TT. set Baud speed (4800 or 9600 are the most common) and finally select the Bluetooth port on the last screen it shows. It might take 15 Min to fire up if its the first time, and make sure its got a clean line of sight to the sky - Mike

Is the red LED actually flashing? If not you've not achieved GPS sync and you won't get any sense from the unit.

This might help you achieve GPS sync....

1. Remove the battery from the BT77;
2. Remove the two small philips head screws from the bottom of the case;
3. Remove the front of the case. There are two small clips at the top, so pull the case updwards and forwards - gently!
4. You should see a small cell battery - possible covered by a coloured (mine was blue) circular label.
5. Remove the label and the battery. The battery is a tight fit and you may need to lever the plastic clip out of the way to remove it. Be gentle - the mechanical integrity of the battery holder is, shall we say, "adequate".
6. With the cell battery out, go away and make a brew. Survey the wonder that is modern day electronics.
7. Suitably refreshed, put the battery back (and the label back on) and reassemble the unit (if you've got this far it should be a doddle).
8. Powering the unit on should result in a fix after a few minutes.

I can get the bt 77 to have a red light flashing so i can only presume it has got linked to a satalite. the problem i think i have is i dont think the bt77 is talking to the xda, the xda can find the bt gps via bluetooth but but that seems to be about it. The bt gps has a blue light that only flashes about once every 3 seconds i can seem to sort out this problem. How can i tell on the xda if it is receiving signals from the bt gps
