GPS signal + Asus R2H + Memory Map |
|
I've got an Asus R2H. (7" touchscreen ultra portable pc) It has a built in GPS receiver.
I want to mount it in the D3 and run Memory Map or Feckarwe on it.
Memory Map is installed.
It also has Ms Autoroute installed.
I can get the GPS working with Autoroute, but not with MemoryMap.
Why?
Theres no information (that I can find) about the GPS receiver, but in Autoroute it's on Com1 and I think set to NMEA baud 4800 (standard sort of settings)
All help & advice etc etc.... Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

whatever happened to plug and play I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Thanks BM, I'm not entirely sure what they are saying on there, but I suspect installing GPSGate is going to solve my problems - It did for my previous PDA setup.
It would seem that different bits of software don't seem to like sharing the same com port info.
Wish I understood all this, cos it would make life a lot easier.
Even better, I wish we could use fugawi or mm on the LR nav unit.

Dave,
not mucked about with this sort of stuff for a few years myself but from memory when installed on devices with less than 'full' versions of OS's ie Windows CE/pocketPC/Tablet etc... if you install one app that makes use of a certain piece of hardware like a GPS, when you then unistall or install another app on top that wants that bit too it all gets a bit confused and then goes into 'sulk' mode and then needs a kick up the by another program to get it back into life again. this was one of the problems i had with early versions of TomTom and similar programs on PDA's. I used GPSassist I think then to help get it sorted...
Malc and theeeeennn......???

I've just installed GPSGate on it, and both programs (Autoroute & MemoryMap) are now as happy as pigs in poo
I'm back in business.
Now comes the expensive part ... off to RAM mounts for the R2H cradle + mounting arms.

No, velcro is all used up on the DVD installation
- actually works incredibly well, we have a Polaroid portable DVD with a swivel screen, velcro'd on to the top of the centre cubby = happy bunny in the back Long succession of Disco's since 2001...
