Help:Pockets Streets 2005 will not connect to GPS

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

My iPAQ5550, TomTom3 and TomTom bluetooth receiver work together. iPAQ
Com ports are Com5 and Com 8.

I now have Microsoft Pocket Streets 2005 and (with TT3 not started) I
cannot get PS 2005 to communicate to the TomTom BT receiver. I have
tried all listed com ports in PS 2005.

Error message is The communications (COM) port is available but no
signal is being received. Make sure the GPS receiver is turned on and
connected to the correct port.

Anyone got this combination working or suggest a fix?

Sven,

Problem was that tomttom3 gps~ file was claiming total rights to using
BT port. Removed file and all is now well.

Thanks,
