|
I own an Emtac bluetooth gps, Toshiba e750BT and Mobile Navigator 4.2. This configuraton do not work. The communication between the gps and the Toshiba works (Fugawi 3 is running). I used the gpsmouse tool to test the Navigon Software with several sets of gps-sentences (RMC & GGA; VTG & GGA). The port number is okay (Fugawi is running and gpsmouse tool too). Any idea what is wrong? It may be helpfull if someone can send me "working" configuration files "spgs.ini" and "pref.ini".
Best regards

I have had similar problems in the past with the EmTac and MN4.2 with iPAQ 5550 BT. Initial support from Navigon helped to get it basically going (although I still have ongoing issues with delay in the announcements). Main pointers are:
i) Navigon indicated that MN4 needs the VTG sentence to work. I think the combination is GGA & VTG - see the spgps.ini file.
ii) However, I found that my EmTac would lock-up if I set GSV or RMC to zero - the only way I can get it to work at the moment is to set it to provide GGA+GSA+RMC+VTG plus GSV on a per 5-second basis. Set up using CRUX view. This works but I suspect that the resulting load on the PDA with MN4 is then slowing-down the map/announcement updates.
I intend to do some trials shortly with a wired GPS to check whether the problem is limited to the EmTac and/or Bluetooth.
Hope this helps. |

Thanks NeilM,
I have tried your settings for Emtac bluetooth gps and Navigon mobile navigator. Did not work. To Navigon "Support" - These people replayed to my question: No comment to receivers from other companies. Ithink thats no support!
Best regards

Hallo NeilM,
I have tried to redirect the COM6: to virtual COM4: with GPSGate. Now Navigon is running. One strange thing remains: every 5 seconds the GPS status indicator is changing from red to green to red...
Thanks for your help
Best regards
