help i am stuck`

In the interests of license preservation (or at least that's how I justified it) I bought an iPAQ 5550 & TomTom 3 Bluetooth Kit with the intention of adding the speed camera poi database to it. Before I even get to that step, I'm having problems getting the Bluetooth GPS working. I can use the bluetooth manager to connect to the GPS, and I've configured TT3 to recognise the GPS (I think) by setting the port to Bluetooth Serial Port Com8, which gives me a 'GPS position unreliable' message in Navigator.

TomTom GPS dosen't show a signal whether the bluetooth connetion is connected or not.

While the maps are very good, I can't get it to find my street while trying to navigate a route. Surely expecting to be able to navigate to any given road without knowing the postcode isn't unreasonable?

Anyway, for anyone on here that may have TT3 BT, if you've experienced similar problems, any help would be much appreciated..

What other setting have you selected on the GPS Status page?

[Charlie]

Do you have another Bluetooth port listed?

yes blutooth com port 5 i have tried that port but still get the massage gps postion unrelible in tom tom 3 the gps unit has 3 lihts blue flickerin green and orange

Should be working on one or the other of those COM ports. Have you ticked the nbox next to the settings and (dumb Q) have you turned Bluetooth on?

yes i have ticked the box and settings are
tomtom wirless gps
bluetooth serial port 8
the ipaq talks to bluetooth ok because the lits on the gps is flickering blue,green orange

[Charlie]

OK, do you get dots moving on the STATUS page?

no dots or green bars
but the status of gps conection is just right in signal strenth
