Mobility Site - View Single Post - Issues with GPS and Arkon Powered GPS Mount

rpgsearcherz · 03-31-09, 07:30 AM

I'm unsure the GPS antannae...I've been trying to figure that out myself. The mount has no model number that I can find, which is causing issues.

As for the software, I'm attempting to use TomTom 6.

Also, I finally got ahold of the original "user guide" for the mount...It still has no information about the GPS itself or the model number of the mount. But it does say that the software the GPS is ran on must be set to read from Com Port 1.

In the Axim there are two settings - one for software and one for hardware.

I have tried various settings for it but have not gotten it to read properly. It seems as if I would need to have both of them set to Com 1, but that is not allowed.

I went ahead and uploaded the document to my website so you can check it out in case it helps figure out where I'm going wrong(the forums only allowed up to 100 kb).

The forums will not allow me to post the link to that so I will attempt to PM it to you.

Please let me know if you need any other information and I will see what I can gather.

Thanks again.
