|
|
I just bought an iPaq 2210 and the Sysonchip CF Plus card after hearing great reviews about both. I had a few “quirks” setting up the card but can’t quite understand the following problem :-
When I first insert the Sysonchip into the CF slot I can use "port 7" on the port settings in the Sysonchip viewer tool. However, the GPS tool won't allow me to select the "sysonchip CF_GPS_Receiver" (ie won't allow a tick in the box when I select the sysonchip). Any ideas ?.
After I “reset” the 2210 the Sysonchip won’t work on port 7, only port 1 ?. This in itself isn’t a problem, but when I then go to the GPS tool and select “Sysonchip” in the drop-down list of inputs it tells me that Port 1 isn’t a real port ?. Does anyone know why it reverts to port 1, and is there any way to force it to port 7 ?. |

What GPS tool are you talking about ? The one that came with the card? Have you tried running a standard navigation program, and selected COM7 (or COM1) there? _________________ Lutz

I found the GPS Viewer that came with the SysOnChip card to be very poor and misleading. I think you would be better off downloading one of the recommend utilities from this website and using those instead.

It sounds like you have other software or perhaps drivers installed that are creating a conflict. Sometimes the only way is to uninstall these or even perform a hard reset and make sure the card is working with your TomTom Navigator and then slowly add the software back on until something breaks again. THat way by process of elimination you can find out what's causing the problem.
iPAQ 2210's CF slot for GPS is COM7, so if for some strange reason you are then getting COM1 to be used after a soft reset, then something is drastically wrong there and some driver is taking control of COM7. |

You may need to uninstall TomTom ~ GPS. This can cause problems not only with other applications seeing a Bluetooth GPS by re-mapping the ports, but also with CF cards.
Basically this was put in as a fudge driver and it re-maps ports to not allow other applications to talk direct, so TomTom is probably re-mapping it so the only port you can talk to the CF card on is COM1. Very annoying! |
