Carcomm GPS and TomTom3 problem

#1 (**permalink**) 21-03-2005, 10:36 AM

Hi,

I recently bought a Carcomm GPS kit with the ENAV-56 GPS Receiver. I installed the hardware according to the manual and TomTom3 on my iPaq 1940. When TomTom3 GPS starts, I have to select which GPS device I am using, however the ENAV-56 GPS Receiver is not in the list?

Which one should I choose, I have tried some in the list but no luck so far.

Your help is appreciated!

regards,

Den

Welcome to our forums.
That cabled receiver will not work with the 1940 as it has no serial port to use. You will need a Bluetooth receiver.

Charlie,

I bought the kit as a whole and on the Carcomm website it is listed as designed for the 1940 (see http://www.carcomm.nl/products.asp?id=13 then CMCP-06). A colleague of mine also has the 1940 and uses the same carkit with USB cable.

regards,

Dennie

I'd have to suggest you contact them for advice.
The 19XX series iPAQs don't have serial port facilities built in so I'm unsure how this carcomm system works.

I had the same problem with my XDA 2 - i bought and still use the smae carcomm kit as you!!

What i had to do is disable my incomin infa red beam (sounds bizare i know) and then select "TOMTOM WIRED" gps receiver in the tomtom settings!!

Tomtom recognises the ENAV unit as a TOMTOM GPS receiver.

When you first plug in the cables etc it can take 30 secs or so for tomtom to recognise it!!!

This fixed my problem

hope this helps
