|
|
Apologies for this dumb question, but I cant find a simple way to reconfigure my GPS device (i.e which port the GPS is connected to).
I have an iPAQ 6515 and have been trying GPSgate. When I want to change from the inbuilt Com Port 7 to the GPSgate port, I have to delete the TT cfg file and it then allows me to restart the initial config process (inc the GPS port).
Is there a way to achieve this change without deleting the cfg file (navigator.cfg)..?
cheers

No, on devices with integrated GPS that is the only way to do it. _________________ Lutz

ok, let me be more precise. On the iPAQs with integrated GPS that's the only way. _________________ Lutz

I'm trying to help a guy who says he cant change the TomTom port on his iPAQ 6515 (V5.2 TomTom), even when he deletes the navigator.cfg file. It doesn't appear to give him the option of slection the COM port.
Did this change from V5.1 (which I have, and allows port selection) to V5.2..?
cheers

Great, what a stupid lock-down....! Any reason for that..?
I guess I need to speak with TomTom.
Thanks for the confirmation.
cheers
