TomTom is the cause here, GPS Drivers v2.08 and later block the BT Com Port
for the exclusive use of TomTom. This was done to reduce issues with
Bluetooth.
The good news is it's easily fixed, simple remove 'TomTom~GPS' and soft
reset. This removes the lock but still allows TomTom to function and also
allows other GPS enabled apps to access the Com Port. I do this with TTN3
and Memory-Map

I also had the same problem. I removed the 'TomTom~GPS' app from the
pocketpc (by going to setting/remove programs) and reset the machine. When I
try and access the GPS Status screen on Navigator I get an error saying
'Unable to launch GPS control panel'. I'm on version 3.03.
Is the GPS Status screen meant to be effected by uninstalling the
'TomTom~GPS' app ?
Thanks

It isn't affacted no, you may have uninstalled twive which removes the GPS
driver. Personally I use v2.07 which does not have nay of these issues on
my 2210, it's available on my website at
