303MMF (GPS Receiver appear that it's not responding)

[alweereenadres]

Hello I uses Winfast.

I read the warning in the artical of Dave.

WARNING! If you do not follow these instructions completely, or you start to mess around with figures in various screens, we cannot be held responsible for rendering your GPS Receiver useless. Although you cannot physically break your GPS Receiver, if you start messing around with NMEA or SiRF settings you can effectively make your GPS Receiver appear that it's not responding, trying to get it out of this state is difficult to talk you through, so be warned, do not stray from these instructions!

But I know for sure that I did something wrong because now I cant get no connection with my GPS. Even with TOMTOM GPS it isn't working.

Can sombody help me????

My GPS reveiver is working again. Only now the baud rate is 9600. Because when I sellect 4800 baud it isn't working.

Can someone tell me what I did with Winfast Navigator to change this.
Is there a problem if the information in de manual gives a baud rate of 4800 and now it is running om 6900 baud?

Thank you for your comments.

Regards,

Sander

Aha, you probably didn't read all the document

When you found it not working you either did one of two things. You went into the COMMAND menu and either:-

1) on the NMEA tab had 9600 or switched it to 9600 and tapped OK
2) went to the SiRF tab and changed to SiRF at a different baud rate.

I suspect it was probably the first, so what you need to do is go back into COMMAND once you have a connection and switch it to 4800, the GPS will reset again and you should be back and be able to use 4800 in all other programs again.

Dangerous huh ?

Dave,

The first option worked.

I have read the hole artical but I think not good enough

I had it running 9600 baud instead of 4800 but it worked perfect. What can go wrong if you running 9600 baud and the manual says it runs on 4800 baud?
