I've posted this elsewhere in compatibility at the beginning of December 2006, so apologies for double posting, but I'm still struggling:

Well, I've read through the entire thread and I'm still baffled - I can only assume I have a faulty SD-502.

I bought it new via eBay and it came in a sealed box with a CD. I installed the driver and GPSInfo utility, then I installed the v1.33 version.

The GPSInfo utility doesn't seem to work or doesn't detect the SD-502. My ports are as follows:

COM1: Serial
COM2: Serial_Cmd
COM3: IrCOMM
COM4: BlueTooth
COM5: Serial5
COM6: Serial6
COM8: SerialUSB
COM9: VirtCOM

What's happened to COM7 I wonder?

How long does it take for the ports to be checked for the GPS device? How soon should I be getting the info.

I certainly don't have GPSDisk card ANYWHERE on the PDA. The little green LED is flashing away fine as can be.

I know my device is compatible; it's on the updated list and it's listed on the Pocket GPS World review. (Incidentally, it's the same device as O2 XDA IIs and QTEK 9090).

I also have CoPilot Live 6 for Pocket PC (another eBay purchase - listed as un-registered and not activated, which it appears is not true). Initially, when I installed the CoPilot software to my second hard drive (not the default) and the PDA sections to the PDA default, I could still access the software - albeit un-registered and not activated - but I could get to the GPS detection and configuration menu.

I uninstalled from both harddrive and PDA and re-installed to default PC drive (C and went for Storage memory on the PDA - this time I got:

Unable to open CoPilot. Please make sure the storage card is inserted or that the data has been properly downloaded.

So I uninstalled from the Storage memory and re-installed to the default memory - I still get the Unable to open CoPilot........ error.

I've just discovered a GlobalSat modem on the PDA:

SPPModem Ver: SPPModem_PPC_SW_GLOBALSAT_0100

Please select a COM Port

I have no idea what that's for either.

I DO know that CoPilot is compatible with both the PDA and th SD-502 - checked - with one minor caution: NMEA 0183 output statement GSV runs at 5 seconds and CoPilot would like it to run at 1 second. Not an incompatibility - again I've checked - but it may slow CoPilot down.

Does anyone know if this can be re-programmed to run at 1 second outputs?


Latest:

I have also noticed that when I install the driver, I get the following message on the PDA screen: The program you have installed may not display correctly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.

The PDA runs Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132). It's completely bog standard with no modifications. The Remove Programs list shows both 'LEADCHAIN GPSDisk' and 'GPS Information GPS Info' as installed correctly.

It's been back to Easy Devices via the original purchaser and been checked in another SPV-M2000 and reported back as working fine - except possibly a driver issue with my particular device. I've tried both 1.32 and 1.33 versions of the driver.

Sometimes the green LED flashes and sometimes not. If I soft reset with the device in, it starts flashing. The GPS Disk simply does not show up anywhere though.

And GPS Info gives me no data at all.
