I would just start trying random COM port numbers. That's what I hnd tad to do on my HTC Hermes with a Holux GPS receiver. I have found that COM2 works fine. Just make sure when you setup the COM port, you set up an incoming port. No need for an outgoing one.

I am using COM2 secure connection and GPS external hardware COM2 with baud rate 38400 and no GPS program port. It works fine and fast. Do you find this valuable? |

Hi, had same problem with connecting LD-3W and HTC Touch dual, all above did not help until I read instructions to configure new outgoing port (http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc-touch/14724-htc-touch-dual-tomtom-6-problem.html):... Start>Settings>Connections>Bluetooth> Turn on bluetooth. Turn on your Bluetooth GPS receiver. Click on “devices” tab and then on “new Partnership” Wait for the scan. Select “BT GPS” (or whatever your's is called). Click on "next" Enter passkey (mine was "0000") Check your GPS Receiver's manual. Click on "next" Once properly paired, put a check next to "Serial Port" as the device's available service. click "Finish". Click on "COM Ports" Tab Click "New Outgoing Port", select "BT GPS" (or whatever your's is called). click "next". Set COM port to "COM4", while leaving Secured Connection still checked. If that doesn’t work, choose a different COM port. Click "Finish" and your device should now be listed with (COM4) next to it. ... Then just enable that [com4] port in TT Do you find this valuable? |
