Hi guys,
I bought my clip-on more than a year ago, and it never worked well.
It takes ages to get a fix (ST/XT). Even if there are 5(!) or more satellites with excellent(!) signal (checked with the great GPSDash Software).
I hope that the FW upgrade fixes my problems too.
My Serial is: LA15004270362
How do I check what version I have?
What do I need to upgrade?
Is there a HowTo?
TIA |

To answer myself:
The howto is here: http://fortuna.com.tw/download/Clip-OnSync.pdf
The Software is here: http://fortuna.com.tw/download/ClipOnSyncBT.zip
One needs a Windows machine with BT
But one question remains:
How do I check what version I have?
P.S.: The XT/ST switch is really the most stupid switch in the world.
It was that annoying, that I even removed the cover and removed the little piece of plastic that sits on the real switch. Now I can move it with whatever piece of metal I want. OTOH it's nomore waterproof I guess.
BTW: If anyone wants some pictures from the inside, tell me |

Just tried the reflash, but as soon as the reflash starts, my gps disconnects, maybe I already have the latest version? |

You need a PC with bluetooth.
You need BTSync software
You need the Clip on driver
Fortuna customer services will send you these if you contact them. They will advise you if you need to upgrade firmware based on your serial number. |

Having major problems:
Got the software installed and the batch file editted etc.
When I run the BT sync software and turn on the com port bluetooth starts on the unit, but Link to GPS button never starts. The satellite lock button is now permanently orange.
Any idea what has gone wrong?
Thanks

When I click on the "Link To Fortuna GPS" button, my computer crashes and resets every time. What might I be doing wrong? |

I got this to work back when I posted the previous post. however, I was having some problems with my Belkin Bluetooth GPS and had to exchange it under warranty (Belkin is really nice about that by the way.) Now I am having some problems again trying to update it..... At first I couldn't update my gps with my computer (which has the 3.5" disk drive) ....it would crash and go to the blue screen of death saying "irql_not_less_or_equal". I still can' figure out what it is doing that ...has anyone else had this issue? finally i ended up buying an external 3.5" drive and got it to update. However, I thought that when I did the update before, it showed 11 or 12 satellites which connected with 9 or so....but that was in the ST mode. Has anyone other people notice an improvement in the ST mode as well after the update? |

I'm having major problems getting this damn thing to upgrade. I've paired it to my PC and ran the ClipOnSyncBT program. I also copied the firmware to a floppy. I click on Com Port on and I then get the "Link to Fortuna GPS" button appear. So I click on that and the Execute button becomes available.
So, once I click that I get a new window saying that it is "Downloading". It waits about 5 seconds and I then just get a button saying "Fail".
Any ideas anyone ?
Cheers |
