Hi, I'm having a problem configuring my AXIM with an EverMore GPS wired receiver(GM-R700 Compact GPS Receiver Applied in Telematics with Built-In Nemerix GPS Chipset)
I've used this GPS unit successfully with a HP5450 PDA however recently upgraded to the Dell Axim x51. I purchased a new cable for the PDA, however have been unable to get the PDA to see the GPS receiver. I have tried every configuration possible within TomTom (baud, com ports (I only get an option to see COM3 and serial cable on Com1) to no avail. Does anybody know why one PDA should work and the other not?

I have an x51v and use tomtom with a wired gps receiver. I had to change the name tofix the problem I was having with TT5 and the Dell wired gps on my Axim X51v. Found This on another board:

The problem is due to the corrupted serial driver name in the registry, that is why you see "Se???a?? ?a??d?? st?? COM1: " in Tom Tom GPS menu.

1. Use a registry editor, e.g. PHM Registry Editor v0.70

2. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial

3. You will see the value name "FriendlyName" has some Russian characters for the value data

4. Change that to Serial Cable on COM1:

5. Make sure you exit registry editor from Tools -> Exit, that will save the changes properly.

6. Now go to Tom Tom and your wired GPS should be working. You may need to do a soft reset if Tom Tom is still not picking up your wired GPS.

Heres what I set my settings to in TT5(should be the same for all us dell wired gps + tt5 users): In TomTom 5 go to Show GPS Status: Select Other NMEA GPS, GPS baud rate:4800, choose Serial Cable on COM1. That should do it. give it a few seconds and it should see the satellites.

Hope this helps you!
