Globalsat bc 307 + wm 5 + tt 5.1

Hi Guys,

I upgraded my X50V to wm 5 this weekend and the main problem I found was with the GPS CF card.
Tomtom 5.1 doesn't recognize the unit. I have read in some forums problems with different GPS units in windows mobile 5. Specially it looks like no many CF GPS units are working at the moment.

The funny thing is that if you run the program gps info that comes with the card it not only detects de card but it also gets reception from the satellites and it syncs with them.

Any one knows what the problem is? Is it an incompatibility of the os or a combination of tt5 and wm5 or what.

Any help would be very much apreciated.

Thanks guys

anyone tried to see if the problem with cf cards is resolved after the rom upgrade in x51?

x51 comes with wm5 by default. I don't think you can downgrade to 2003. And, yes, the same problem persists with following configuration: x51v(wm5) + Haicom HI-305III (CF) + TT5.1 - can not find GPS device even though it shows up as COM4. Add BT slipper (HAICOM HI-401BT) --- all works well. The problem with TT5.1 and wm5 seems to be centered around the CF GPS options. It seems that BT GPS are working relatively well, considering that TT5.1 is not officialy wm5 compatible.
