The problem is they are not turning blue yet - how many bars have to cross the line - is it now five. I know it used to be only three on TT3 Question

Hi there,

I got my Sysonchip CF Reciever the otherday from globalpositioningsystems.

Works like a dream with my FS Pocket Loox 610.

Soon as i got ity, plugged it in, straight in the car and took about a minute to fix to a satellite.

The other day i used it to get home from work (just as a test) and sat on my drive it was locked into 8 Satellites!!

Usually takes between 30secs and 1.30mins to lock to a satellite!

By the way, and just to make the info complete.

My friend uses an old Loox600 (400Mhz) with a Haicom 303 CF card. No substantial lag.

My bro-in-law uses his N10, most of the time OC'ed to 400Mhz, and has a Rikaline 6021 CF card, no more lag then when using TT3.

The Yakumo Delta 300 has a build-in Nema thingy, based upon a SirfII chip, and runs at 300Mhz. No lag.

The various N35's and Alpha's run Samsung 266Mhz cpus, and use a pretty cheap GPS chipset (name escapes me right now), and wouldn't you know, no lag.

Google around for "XcpuScalar". I'm not sure there's a test version around anymore, but there used to be a free limited trial version.

It works brilliantly on an N10 : all N10's I've had in my hands so far were capable of perfect stable 400Mhz operation, and this speed increase IS noticable.

Another nifty thing with XcpuScalar is that you can use it to prolong your battery life : it lets you decide at which cpu load the PDA should switch to what speed. Hence you can do stuff like :

Cpu load < 25% --> 100 Mhz
Cpu load 25~50 --> 200 Mhz
Cpu load 50~75 --> 300 Mhz
Cpu load > 75% ---> 400 Mhz

I swear, this works, and it works bloody brilliant. Most Loox 600's will scale to 472 Mhz, some even to 500.

Also worth noting : on the German boards, a lot of people state their lag diminished significantly after updating to 5.1. There's no mentioning of this in the changelog at TT, but heck, why not try that ?

Take Care,

I have just installed tt5 on my ipaq3850 and am using a navman 3400 jacket, it worked fine with smart st v1.91 but when using tt5 it doesnt give me the option to assign it to com 5 only com 3, if I assign to the navman bit the yellow and black ball spins but there is no signal. i have updated with the fix and I can get signal with that but not on the main programme.
Any ideas?
Thanks

For info, my SysOnChip CF Plus II antenna with 256MB Ram works as brilliantly with TT5 as it did with TT3. Hardware is an iPAQ 2210 with UK maps on the SysOnChip CF card and continental Europe maps on a 1.0GB SD card.
