CF GPS-antenna and TT5

Zeena · Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 9:18 am Post subject: CF GPS-antenna and TT5

Hello...

In the setup for GPS antenne there is no choice for CF-GPS antenna in TomTom 5.

Is CF-antenna not supported?
Is there a workaround for this?

I tried reinstalling the CF card drivers whilst the PPC was connected to my PC and choosing "other wired ". In the resulting list of ports there was my CF card by name. Worked for me.

I have an unbranded cheap cf gps I bought off ebay and it all works for me. I just chose other wired and then got a list of com ports, one was called generic_cf_gps on com8, so I chose that and it all worked.

I have a Haicom HI-303e CF card (which worked perfectly with TT3) but I cannot get it to work with TT5.
I selected other wired gps, then 2400 baudrate. The card is recognized as a generic CF (which was also the case on TT3) but then nothing happens and TT5 reports that no GSP device is connected.

HELP

my baud rate was 4800, I understand this is a standard setting. Try that.

I have an HP 2210 with tt5 and Haicom CF HI 302-CF

I have used older versions of tt without problems with the same equipment.

Regarding the satellite receiver, I have a couple of issues/problems:

a) The tt5 recognises the Haicom and it shows as one of the possible receivers under Haicom CF GPSin the tt5. I get satellites but the signal is not strong enough to make the software functioning I have tried in the outside in different locations, where I wouldnt have had any problem with previous tt.
I had the bad at 1200. Can this be the problem?

I get a mesage : signal not valid

b) I have to start the GPS receiver manually everytime, the soft would not recognise it automatically when I start the program (tt5). is there a solution for this? previous tt would recognise the receiver automatically.

thanks
