Default Dell Axim X51v & Polstar GPS receiver problem.

Hi all.
I've bought a Polstar gps receiver,(a cable type receiver that plugs into my Axim charger via cigarette lighter) to go with my Axim X51v pda which is running Tomtom 5.21 software. The problem is that it can't pick a signal? I've set the Tomtom software side up as "Other NMEA GPS-9600 GPS baud rate and tried all the settings on the last option? their's only 5 different types, Com0,Native IR, Com3, BT UART on Com5 & Se???a??a?d?? st??... A small red light emits out of the corner of the Polstar receiver, so I assume that it's working. Has anyone else bought one of these Polstar receivers,(I had my one from ebay) and had problems?

try going into configure and select tomtom wired and see if the small black/yellow circle is turning if so just wait pref outside until it locks

I have the same problem om my Dell Axim X51v with a cabled GPS receiver.

I select Other NMEA GPS, 4800 baud (which is correct for the GPS I have). Then TomTom asks where the GPS is connected, and I only have the choices:
Native IR:
COM3:
BT UART on COM5:
Se???a?? ?a??d?? st?? COM1:


I've tried all of the above, all resulting in TomTom saying, No GPS.

Out of curuosity, I downloaded a trial version of a program called GPS Tuner.
I started that up, hit auto configure GPS, and BOOM, receiving GPS signal at 4800 baud at COM1 like there was no tomorow!

So to conclude, my guess is that TomTom is not compatible with the GPS receiver. The messed up string on COM1: in TomTom also indicates this.

Hope I'm misstaking, because if not, this gps mouse turns out to be a waste of cash!

You didn't get yours working by any chance?
