Hi
Yeh i installed the NAVMAN_3.1.6 driver from
http://www.123farmworks.com/downloads.htm
It installs the drivers for the gps and activesync helps install it over to the pda itself and it completes no problem.
When i go to the folder on the pda i get a gps set up screen with 2 options
gps comm settings which is on V8.60 2003-02-26
com 5
baud rate is 57600
data bits 8
parity none
stop bits 1
And the port is open
2ND is start configuration NMEA
when i click on start configuration it says changing to binary protocol and does nothing
Nut when i change the com to 6 and keep the rest the same theres a load of letter and numbers where are being constantly updated any ideas? |

Are these letters and numbers readable (starting with $GPRMC for example? Or is it all gibberish? Can you post a screenshot? _________________ Lutz

No need for screenshots - this looks like a healthy NMEA stream, exactly what you need.
After you exited the Navman configurator (and it seemingly reverted back to COM5) - have you tried to use the TomTom GPS applet and select
NMEA 0183v2 57600
COM6:
and then enabled the check box? _________________ Lutz

1.50? That ain't gonna work. Get the latest driver from the TomTom site. 2.08 or 2.09. I believe they also include support for COM6: _________________ Lutz

Ok i have version v2.09 302/393 and it wouldnt show com 6 on the pull down so what i did was switch it back to navman gps 1000 (top bar) and all of a sudden it switched to com 6 and 1 of the bars had 20 on it also the n/s/e/w had a 20 in the cross hairs but it disappeard when i moved the pda a millimetre anyway i restarted it and there are 2 bars 11 and 20
Now for some reason i cant get a fix on em again |

glad to hear that. The Navman 1000 is one of the older receivers, so don't expect any miracles. Try to give the antenna plenty of sky view, but you may still see occasional fix losses. _________________ Lutz

Yeh its only temporary for a couple of months will get the original software and sell it on and bump up to naybe a 3450 do they work ok with the ipaq 3950
It goes in and out of fix but as you said it was of the earlier models its a starting point |

Too late i sold the cf expansion pack and bought a navman 3450 for use with the ipaq just going to put my navman 1000 gps up for sale on ebay as they selling for about £100
Its too much weight to stick in your pocket and walk around so i opted for a upgrade a bit earlier |
