6800 and TomTom Nav Problem
 

I have used TT Nav 5 on a Palm for some time. I just installed it on my Verizon 6800 which has the internal GPS activated with the Valhalla .cab. The gps works fine with Google maps and Win Live Maps, but I cannot get TomTom Nav 5 to find it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Roger

when ur setting up the gps choose other wired device then com4 baud rate 4800 and then launch the gps from something else google tomtom gps launcher and use bafs

Bafs? Please explain.
Thanks,

search for bafs gps toggle. You might need it to "prime" the gps - it starts first, opens the gps connection and starts the gps device going, then it launches tom tom, which finds the gps all ready to go.

I used to have to do that on my 6800, but after updating to the most recent Sprint OEM rom, I didn't need it anymore - at least not with TomTom 6

Another option is to leave Google Maps running in the background.

Thanks for the help. I installed the bafs gps toggle and it works great. BUT, I open TomTom Nav 5 and it starts normally, showing the Map and the triangle icon on the map -- everything looks fine, but it says NO GPS. Within a few seconds the GPS Activates and the map disappears leaving the gps cursor and a green background. Any additional help will be much appreciated. The GPS is active but the maps are now not displayed.

Thanks,
Roger

Try Google Maps.
