GPS won't talk w/ Pocket Streets

EElmgren · 12-19-06, 08:23 AM

I have an Axim X30, Houlux GPSlim 236 and Pocket Streets 2006. I've installed the GPS Viewer that came with the Holux. I know the GPS is talking with the PDA because the view shows the lat/lon and the satellites. When I try to configure Pocket Streets I get a msg to "Please make sure your GPS receiver is NMEA compatible and that the input/output (interface) is set to support NMEA v2.0 & above data format". When I try to track position I get a msg "the com port is available, but no signal is being received. Make sure the GPS receiver is turned on and connected to the correct port".

I'm stumped.

Thanks,
Erik

Welcome to Aximsite!

Only one application can use the com port at a time. Make sure you are stopping the utility before starting Pocket streets. The X in the upper right doesn't actually stop the application, so you'll need to make sure it's actually stopped. Start/Settings/System/Memory/Running Programs is where you can see if it is still running and kill it if necessary.
