OK.. I picked out the Holux GPSlim236 and TomTom Navigator 5 USA. I was wondering if anybody else has this combo on the wizard and how well it works? I am open to suggestions for different gps receivers and different USA navigation/mapping software as well..

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] rxr:
Yeah, I've decided on the Holux as well, but I'm leaning more towards Inav by Iguidance...but still haven't ordered...still trying to see what works best...

i've heard reviews that some ppl had to do some workarounds b4 Tomtom worked.

Thanks to all the positive feebacks from ppl in the UK...however...any1 in the US have any comments??

I'm using it right now and it works great. the only catch is that the latest TT 5.21 (with bluetooth fix) only works with the latest US maps v567+

I use the Adapt BT GPS unit, with the Nemerix 16-channel chip. Works like a breeze with TomTom NAVIGATOR 5.21, this is the one:

It gets a fix very quickly (around 30 seconds when switching on), runs forever on 1 battery charge (10+ hours; uses the same battery as the Nokia 6600 which I used with it before the Wizard).

Works with all kinds of other software as well, highly recommended!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] bompus:
Can't find any info or any place that sells the Adapt Receiver in the US and very hard to find it outside the US as well...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] j0bro:
I see now that it is sometimes re-branded as 'Oasis Media Bluetooth GPS'. It is technically 100% identical, except a different lettering on the outside. It sells in various online shops for about €65, which is about $84.

Here's the shop that I bought it from with a link to the product: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babe...nl_en&url=http://www.pdashop.nl/product/19348

I also saw that Adapt already has newer models, the AD-500 and AD-700 which are smaller and feature a mini-USB jack for direct connections.

AD-500: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babe...nl_en&url=http://www.pdashop.nl/product/18249

(€95 ^= $122)

AD-700: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babe...nl_en&url=http://www.pdashop.nl/product/21808

(€99 ^= $128)

Thanks to Babelfish for some funny translations ;)

I use TT5 with a nice little blue QStarz BT-Q880 32-channel GPS receiver which even has a magnetic base (and comes supplied with a metal plate to affix to a surface in your car, so it won't slide around when cornering/braking)... It says it's 32 channel, has a nifty Auto setting so that if you have it plugged into your car charger it'll autosense when the car's turned on and only turn on then. From cold, it doesn't take long at all to pick up the satellites, and from a warm start (put into Off then turned to On or Auto within a few minutes) it's instantanous, which is handy if you ever need to reset your device.

TT5.0, GB Plus map. The little QStarz bugger looks like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/32-CHANNEL-BL...itemZ9731155991QQcategoryZ75327QQcmdZViewItem ...

Got it for a song too, only about 45GBP which I didn't think was bad at all considering at the time inferior devices were selling for at least 15/20 quid more (plus ridiculous postage!) The device works fine as either Other NMEA Bluetooth GPS or Other Bluetooth GPS, just pair it on your phone (instructions + paircode come with it) and then set up Bluetooth Serial Comms and instruct TomTom to use COM6 to receive data (it's 6 IIRC... Yeah, sounds right). Like the Adept someone mentioned earlier, it does last for aaaaaaaaages on one charge, but typical my luck, it had to run out of juice one day whilst I was driving down the M40 - so there's me, plugging in a car charger and trying to plug the jack into the unit, then trying to reopen the crashed TomTom and correctly configure my journey to continue... All at 75mph! Ooer :S ... Good job I had a phone cradle otherwise I would've been royally screwed, but yeah, the GPS unit is great. Very small, unobtrusive and the LEDs are clear enough to see even in sunlight so you can see exactly what it's up to.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] bompus:
Awesome man... QStarz sounds like it has it so far with the 32 chans.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] bompus:
In fact.. this unit is sold in the US as the "Rikaline GPS-6033" for those interested for around $85 USD.

OK.. After much research, I have decided on everything at a very reasonable price too.

GPS Unit: i-Blue Bluetooth GPS [NEMERIX GPS Module V3.7]

Software: TomTom Navigator 5 USA

Memory Card : Mini SD 1GB

And a powered cradle mount:

All for... $274.99 USD... Not bad. If anyone has any gripes about TomTom, my alternatives are i.Guidance,Route 66,Mapopolis,Destinator.

Let me know what you think!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] bompus:
OK.. I am assuming nobody has anything better to suggest than TomTom.. If you do, let me know or else I will make the purchase soon.

This is a good thread to read too:

I picked up the Semsons package with the Solarius receiver and iGuidance. I finally got it to work after some bum info from Semsons and some good help from the nice folks on this forum.

The receiver seems to work fine although the solar seems to be more of a gimmick since the battery goes fast and after sitting in the sun in my car it doesn't seem to pick up enough of a charge to make it usable again so the iBlue does sound nicer, especially with the auto-detect feature. I'm still not fired up about iGuidance -- it seems light on features but that's compared to my experience with NeverLost, not any other PPC products. I'd also still suspect my performance issues with it are the result of a patchwork installation. I'd be very interested in knowing what Tom Tom is like in comparison, maybe someday I'll pick it up too.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] christopherwoods:
I'll be quite honest and confess that I didn't pay for TT5 (blagged it off a mate and got the GB Plus maps from someone else), but I paid for the device to use it on and I paid for the GPS receiver, and for a student that was still way more than I should've spent ;)

My experience with TT5 is on an Alpine, which has those (in)famous SD card access issues, but when it works, it works really well. I can't fault it, of course you have the 'famous' TomTom interface (which really is quite good), it's easy to use, clearly laid out, and has some nice features like muting TomTom sounds during incoming calls, routing them automatically to loudspeaker if you don't have a headset connected, all built in (which I'm sure all the others do as well like the Garmin units and the other various all-in-one solutions), but yeah, can't fault TomTom really.

I have 3 of these phones for my young kids to play with and I don't have service on them as they have been using them with WIFI only which is sufficient. Any ideas as to how to bypass the activation screen? It seems that I've tried everything.

Sorry for the delay. I have found some more time to try to fix it this weekend.

I am not sure what this part refers to:

There is no such menu visible in B2CAppSetup.exe that I can see.

Other oddities:

I was wrong about my phone model. it is actually an LG L9 MS769, not a P769. I don't know if that matters.

The B2CAppSetup.exe interface looks VERY different on my friends computer as opposed to mine. (see the attached screenshot) I am in the process of going through the motions on her computer to see if I get different results. However after opening the app and selecting my phone model and letting it install the drivers, I unplug and plug the USB cable again (staying in S/W mode), and nothing interesting happens beyond the circling "connecting" icon.

Let me know what you think. I'll keep trying.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] not_so_optimustic:
I feel like I'm getting close! After installing the drivers, both the "Start Upgrade" and "Install USB Driver" buttons are greyed out. A message assures me that "Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool", although this is clearly not true.

After clicking on the dropdown menu in the top right and selecting "Upgrade Recovery" it pops open the window pictured in the screenshot and attempts to download the software. This window stops progress at the download stage where the timer is frozen at 15 seconds.

I didn't manage to get that fix to work as I got errors of "The program can't start because AbdWinApi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

HOWEVER

This worked pretty perfectly to fix the u-boot problem. After flashing the three attached images for u-boot, boot, and recovery, the boot process was back to "normal." So I then used "fastboot flash recovery [my cwm file]" and it flashed successfully again, and I'm back to the LG logo with the security error, and not really sure how to get to CWM.

The guide you linked to recommends the offline fix, which is the method I've been having issues with. My goal at this point is to get CWM to start properly so I can flash my ROM from the SD card. However the method to fix the security error involves installing a different recovery (not CWM). So that's where I stand at this point.

I'll do some more research and be back here to report whatever my next screwup happens to be.

EDIT: So I think my security error is due to my bootloader not being unlocked. I will attempt to follow this guide and we'll see how it goes. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2221102

I installed the stock ROM via the offline fix successfully! :D It immediately went into a nonstop boot loop of the LG logo, so I turned it off and did a hard reset (volume up + home + power, let go of power after it starts up), which then allowed me to boot into the system.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jtnc:
Ok, I apologize as I know the answer is somewhere in XDA (I saw it once), but for the life of me I cannot find it via XDA's search function or google. Apparently bad search fu today.

I'm running a custom ROM that has all apps enabled for multi-window use. Which is great. But the problem is when I choose an application that is not on the first screen of apps, it will choose one from the first page instead (in I think roughly the same location of the screen). The only "work around" I've been able to deduce is on the first screen (w/o scrolling), drag the bottom right app into the multiwindow bar. Then remove it fro there. This will shift the apps up by one spot. Then repeat this until you get the app you want.

This becomes annoying when the app you want is towards the bottom of the list.

Anyone know of a better way of doing this? I recall this same issue on my S2, but perhaps I didn't have any many apps installed so it wasn't such a big deal.

Thanks
