 |  "No GPS Device" TomTom Nav 6 , Treo 800w I have successfully installed tom tom nav 6 on to my 800w. Now the thing stoping me from using it is " No GPS Device. " I did all my settings with COM0 like everything else . Nothing. And some times the com options are limited and sometimes there not. I looked everywhere on Google and i have yet to find any one ask this question. It would be totally neat to get this to work. Thanks to any one who can help.  |

| " Under Settings, System, External GPS, " I don't have that. . I have "Under Settings, System, GPS Manager. " And my com port options are 0 and 7 for the program. For the hardware, It is " Internal GPS " . It works fine with google maps and Sprints outdated telenav. No bluetooth gps. And another annoying thing is that since tomtom can't find a gps device, It wants to do a restart and i cant shut tomtom down in spb mo shell task man.

| I went threw all of them. The main one i went threw was "Other NMEA GPS reviver. " On com7 because that was the only matching option to the WM gps manager program com port setting. . |

If the OP uses your settings, then he should be almost ok. I've seen a lot of threads about TomTom 6 & 7 not waking up/turning on the GPS unit on the Treo Pro. The solution is to run something that does, before running TT6 or TT7. Either some of the sat finder programs will do that or GPStoday will, too. I'm suspecting there's a similar issue with the 800w, with the same solution. And, like you, I hope we've responded soon enough to benefit the OP. | |
