New GPSDriver library

[Saj]

Erel, i've tried running GPSDriver example on my hTC (Windows Mobile 6.1). It runs ok except for the following error:

Try to comment this line and see if it works.
Which device are you using?
This library was tested with several HTC devices.

I've got the hTC TyTN II. I commented out line 28 and it then fails in line 29. Error msg attached.

There is some problem with the GPS Intermediate driver on your device.
Maybe it is not configured properly.

Hi Erel,

Finally I can use the GPSDriver Lib in my P3300 and Diamond. I had to change the WM5 to WM6 ROM (P3300)

But.... If I want to use a BT GPS? How must I do? All my testings were unsucessful.

In my Diamong when I'm going to change parameters in the 'Settings.exe' App, it appears the message 'You have insufficient permissions to map the hardware port'

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You should use the built-in settings program not the one from this thread. It is probably named "External GPS" and you can reach it by choosing Menu - Settings.

I have the same problem. Whatever change I make, when starts again it remains the old configuration.

There are device specific forums here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
Maybe you can find the answer there.

Erel, I've done a hard reset and the demo still falls over on the same lines. I've noticed however that when the hTC TyTN II is powered by an external power supply (i.e hooked upto me PC) it doesn't fall over, but soon as the PDA is powered off the error occurs. Does that shed any light?

Also, how do I get the demo to use a bluetooth receiver? I've looked through this thread but can't get it connected - it always picks up the internal receiver.

It seems to be some problem with your device.

To use this library with an external GPS you need to change the driver settings. You should set the driver to use the bluetooth virtual serial port instead of the internal gps port.
