|
|
Hello all! Just purchsed an Emtac Bluetooth GPS and when following the instructions to look at it and test with the CRUX view software, I get the dreaded "Read Error!" message.
However, the reciever seems to work perfectly from within tomtom 3, although I only seem to get 7 satellites at most. Should I be worried and take it back or is it just being funny with the Crux view software?
TIA
Adrian :D |

that's not good. The Crux_View is the Emtac's native program. these two should play nice... Maybe your receiver is running SiRF protocol? _________________ Lutz

What GPS version are you using in TomTom. It's well documented on here that it blocks "other" BT programs. |

Then most probably your GPS driver is to blame. Remove the TomTom GPS driver and replace it with the version 2.07 from our downloads section.
Before trying to run Crux_View, you need to quit TomTom via the menu (not via the cross) or do a soft reset. _________________ Lutz
