Palm GPS Navigator compatibility with WM6

I recently updated my Verizon 700wx to WM6 and can no longer get the Garmin Mobile XT software to see the GPS receiver. The phone will see and pair with the device but I can't seem to get the software to connect with it, apparently I don't have a setting correctly configured. Anyone have any advice on how to correct this issue?

In my case, the blue light would come on for a moment when I connected the power supply but it would then turn off, and the Navigator screen on myTreo would say something like "no GPS device detected." Assuming that you are experiencing the same issue, I would guess that getting a new unit will not solve it. I solved the problem as follows:
1. HotSync your Treo to make sure that all of your data is backed up.
2. Do a hard reset to erase all the data on your Treo. You can find precise instructions for doing this at palm.com. (This is also a good time to apply any carrier ROM updates that you have not already applied; I applied the latest Verizon update.)
3. Install the car kit using the SD card that comes with the kit. Make sure the GPS unit is working properly.
4. HotSync your Treo to restore your data.
5. If desired, install the Navigator data to your own SD card so that you don't have to switch SD cards every time you use the Navigator.
That should do it. One more thing I've noticed is that I have to disconnect the Navigator kit from the power supply in my car between uses for the GPS unit to work.

Palm GPS Navigator With Garmin Mobile XT Software

I recently purchased the above navigator for my husband for Christmas. How frustrating that the maps don't display!!! No where on the description of the item that I purchased did it say I'd have to unlock maps, etc. Where and how do I go about unlocking these maps? I'm ready to return this item and tell Palm exactly how I feel.

The only 3rd party apps you can install on your iPhone is what is available via the iTunes app store. There are a number of 3rd party GPS navigation apps available for the iPhone with maps used by the application stored locally on the iPhone with the application.

Palm GPS Navigator

I am having a bit of trouble with my GPS Navigator. I want to connect it to my laptop and use it for directions, but I have no idea how, since I dont have any of the software, since I just got it second-hand from my grandmother. Here is the info I found under the battery
Model: 180-10242-00
FCC ID:08F-238BTGPS
IC: 3905A-238BTGPS
Bluetooth 1.2 Compliant
Post relates to: Tungsten E

I have the same GPS receiver model, and tried it with the Garmin software (Mobile PC).
First, you have to use the configuration software for Bluetooth in your PC to create a Serial port; in my PC, Toshiba Bluetooth stack is installed, and new virtual ports get ID 40 and up.
Then, in the GPS software, configure it to connect to that new serial port (COM40 in my case). If you have valid licenses, it should connect without problems.
Connecting GPS SW directly to bluetooth didn't work, as it seems connection is terminated every time there is no data transfer.

When the 5.0 version came out a notice was sent to my laptop stating it was not compatable with Garman GPS updates at this time. I would like to know if that has been fixed allowing Garman GPS updates now? I did not update to 5.0 for that reason.

I did not update to 5.0 Firefox because it said it was not compatable with the Garman GPS updates at this time

Can't sync to palm centro/installer not compatable with device

Cant sync from computer (palm os) to new palm centro. Conduit setting times out. Have also been getting promts on my last couplle treo phones that the installer is not compatable with my device Please delete installer and it keeps coming up Please Help
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Their might be an installer that is on a queue waiting for you to hotsync, unfortunately it's not compatible. This is what you are going to do. Locate c:\program files\palm\[hotsync username]\if you will se a install folder or quick install folder just empty it by deleting whatever file inside those folders.

Compatibility with Garmin gps

FYI Some of the Garmin gps software is not compatible with Leopard. Their webpage says Mac compatible. Maybe pre Leopard, not Leopard. Had to do a firmware update on my wife's PC.

ICal Compatibility with PALM

I am new to Apple- but so far am very positively impressed.
I have a Palm Pilot and have installed the Palm Software on my Mac. It runs fine.
Is there any way to have iCal replace or at least import from Palm my calendar and address book?
Then , can iCal support my handheld palm device ? I t is a Zire?
Thank you ,
Allan

Palm pretty much gave up any real support of OS X a couple of years ago. iCal is sync-able to your Palm but not through the Palm Desktop software. You need to get something like Missing Sync for Palm OS. I used it (pre-iPod Touch days) and it sync'd my Treo and Tungsten quite happily. It's not very expensive and can be downloaded at http://www.missingsync.com/.
On the importing from Palm calendar and address book--just be sure to sync your Palm one last time with the Palm Desktop software before you install Missing Sync. On your first sync with the new software, your info will come off the Palm and into Address Book and iCal.
Another side note--If I remember right, you should uninstall the Palm Desktop software prior to installing the Missing Sync software. (Just sync your Palm that one last time before doing that.)

HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OV...

Question to NOKIA:
HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OVI MAP 3.1 in N97?
On all N97 I know and as you can read here in forum the GPS doesn't work usable in N97 and with MAP 3.1.
I believe that this is a software problem because often I get a GPS signal inhouse and in the wood, but from one second to the other N97 lost the GPS signal. And this in the best weather condition under free sky. Sometimes gps signal works for 15 minutes, then the signal will drop every minute or so.
The current position on map is shift (past) abaout 40-50 meters from the real position, so its unable to use.
The calculated speed is always changing between 0 and the current speed.
I have updated phone to de newes software and firmware also to ne newest maps also has hard reseted and reformatet and the problem ist still the same. If I switch off the option "Maps improvment" (which SENDS DATA TO NOKIA!!!) the the drop outs are fewer. But evreytime the position on maps is shift about 40-50 Meters from right position. Is there a mistake in calculation the position? Also the speed is jumping sometimes from 0 to x and back.
CAN NOKIA TELL US WHEN THIS BUG WILL BE FIXED, AND CAN NOKIA OFFER US A REFUND.
I have payed a lot for N97 and alot for the navigation licence and a lot for accesoires and a lot for the traffic security assistance. So I want a working phone! I dint have payed money for e alpha-stadium phone.
If this is realy the quality of nokia phone, then It is the latest phone I have buyed from nokia.
By the way, the phone has many many many many other bugs as described in this forum.
Really bad work NOKIA! :-(
I was so excited with my N95 and now this mess...
NOKIA please answer us forum members, what you plan to do with the N97 bugs. When we can hope that the bugs are gone? Otherwise I will return my phone and want my money back and I sue for compensation.

I have no word to disagree with you and hoping that Nokia soon will make some press statement or something else to tell us what they do with their flagship, sorry bugship Nokia N97.
Could be a shame recognize errors, but it's worst not to say nothing ant let the bad news of Nokia N97 spread for internet even if they want to sell a Nokia N97 Mini in the near future.
I understand and supose that we will no have no new version till september because we are in the last week and july and the activity in august decrease really high... but at least someone of Nokia could tell something about this problems and if it's possible all the other problems.
Why Nokia Beta Labs Forum there is a direct contact with Nokia workers, and in discussions is relly rare to find?
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mistery.
Today is a gift.

GPS navigator on nokia e71 which one is working?

Hello, I'd like to install a gps navigator on the nokia e71, do you have any suggestions apart from the Nokia maps? I read that Sygic is working on Nokia, do you know a bit more about it? What about licenses, try periods etc? do I have to pay a licence or to download maps with these kind of programs?
Thanks very much.
Pippobaudo

I've been using Route 66 for over a year now on my E71 and find it the most stable and usable of all. Tried nokia maps, google maps, Tom Tom, Papago, Mapking etc...
You can download it from here:
http://www.66.com/static_media/updates/mobile8_s60/M8_S60_Update_8.0.18990.exe
The application itself it free but you need to purchase the maps. The maps don't expire, but the traffic info, traffic cameras and weather are subscription based and optional.
Install the application on your memory card, you can either connect your E71 via USB or it's faster to put your micro SD card in a reader and install it from there.
Maps can be purchased directly via the application on the phone or you can download the Route 66 Sync (PC only) and do it from there.
You have the option to use R66 without data usage (HDSPA/GPRS) using the E71 internal GPS, I also successfully tried with an external CIRF III GPS module but doesn't make much difference.
You can however get faster fixes if you also enable "network based" and "assisted GPS" in the E71 phone settings (tools/settings/general/positioning/positioning methods)
Mind you that this will use a minimal amount of data usage for every fix e.g. when starting up R66.
But it has the advantage to continue the map scrolling when in tunnels by extraolating it's position using cell sites.
Good luck.

Internet Explorer 10 compatibility with Moss 2007.

Hello , We are facing issue with MOSS 2007 and Internet Explorer 10.There are few out of box fields are not working at all with IE 10.
Lookup field – with more that 20 items in it.
Date and Time
These fields do not work at all.
I know there is workaround of switching to compatibility mode, however looking for some permanent solution
Based on the following article I installed hotfixes of .net framework which didn’t help. Though I noticed same issues I had with IE 11 are resolve .

I'm afraid IE 10 isn't on the list so you will need a work around. It sounds like compatibility mode works for you, how about setting up a

Palm GPS Bluetooth Problem

Hello, I am trying to pair a Palm GPS unit with my mac. I go through all the steps using the Bluetooth Assistant ending with an apparently successful pairing. However, when i open bluetooth prefs the Palm GPS shows up as 'not connected'. Anyone know what's wrong?

Have you tried a Soft Reset? Thought about updating the OS on the device to 4.1? (There were a lot of improvements made with 4.0 vs. 4.1!) The update is available many places on the net, such as: http://downloads.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=425429

Nokia N95 GPS Navigation

Dear All,
I am James and recently bought a Nokia N95. It comes with GPS Navigation but not sure how it works. Looked in the user manual but still not idea of how to work it. I have played around with it and downloaded Google Maps but find it difficult to get a reception.
I want to know how to download maps onto it, what connection is needed and how it actually works?
Any ideas?
regards
James

Hi,
I'm just back from the US were i used the GPS a good bit. like most GPS's, Navigation on the N95 told me to turn right then left on on straight roads with intersections (watch out for this, always look at the map before turning as you'll see that the route line is straight on screen), sent me down bizarre side roads, never went the same route to a place as it did going back (very strange), but other that that was very handy.
The one major bug I'd like to report is in v20 of the firmware (can't say for others versions), despite disabling network communication in the settings, the phone would still startup my GPRS data pack connection while roaming. Even when I set it to use Wi-Fi, it still made a connection over GPRS. I work out it cost me about a €10 in unnecessary data charges. Easy test to see if you get the same problem: Startup Maps and say no to data usage, exit or Press Menu, Tools, Log. You should see that a Data pack connection was initiated at the same time you started the Maps App. The only way around this I found was to set the phone to offline mode. But you might as well buy a proper GPS if this is the only solution.
Good luck!
I had exactly the same problem. Once activated, network mode could not be turned off and it cost me around $50 in a day and a half.
As soon as I tried to shut it down in Maps>Options, it either shut down maps or rebooted my phone.
Keep network support off, is my recommendation.
To cure the problem, I had to reload my firmware and software...everything but settings. If you reload settings, you reload the problem.
I spend hours today doing just that. Settings are probably the least important part of my phone history so it wasn't too big of a deal and the effort was totally worth it to save me mega cash while using maps.
