Can tomtom 5 be configured to use other receivers

Hello Everyone

I have a T-Mobile SDA and tomtom5 mobile. My GPS reciever, a copilot D1598, is picked up by my SDA and pairs successfully. But when i go into tomtom it states that there is no gps device.

If I then go into the preferences and set it as other gps rather then tomtom i still get the same problem. I get a message from tomtom stating please pair devices but they already are.

Does anyone have any suggests.

Thanks for help in advance

Once the GPS unit is connected to the phone via BT go to GPS setup within TomTom and select the Other wired NMEA device , then the correct Baud speed for your unit (read the suppliers info for this) then on the last page select the bluetooth com port - its the out going one you need (tip - put the device into landscape mode first to be able to see the port numbers - its just easier this way) then take it outside and wait for a sync - if the blue/ yellow disk isn't spinning (top RH) then you have a problem with the settings, so try the other BT connection within TT - Mike

Hello

I have just checked within my tomtom gps config and i dont have Other wired NMEA device listed. I only have the tomtom device or other gps device.

Should this matter??

You should have a page that says "Other Cable NMEA GPS" use this - I know its a BT unit but go through what I said earlier in terms of configuration and it should work - Mike
