3.) in GPS settings I chose COM2 for the program port & COM0 (the outgoing port I set above)
4.) In Live Search settings I selected COM2.
5.) In Live Search I picked the Select new Location using GPS
After that there is a long pause followed by a message that says location cannot be found.
Defective unit? Incompatible with WLS?

Heres how I got mine to work:
1) Pair w/ Bluetooth and enter passkey and make sure Serial Port is checked.
2) In your Bluetooth settings, click on COM Ports tab and create a new Outgoing Port for your GPS. I used COM8. Make sure you leave "Secure Connection" unchecked or else it won't work.
3) Don't play with the External GPS settings in the system menu. I have my program port and hardware port set to NONE over there.
4) In WLS, make sure your COM number matches up with what you set in ur bluetooth settings (COM8 in my case).
5) Make sure you give it about 45sec to a minute when you first turn on your GPS (cold boot startup) before everything is working.
I got mine to work in both WLS and TomTom6 like this. Hope this helps. |
