TeleNav works pretty good but it is defenitely not worth 10 dollars a month. I had it flip out on me twice today and caused me to backtrack several miles. It does work very well. Google and live serch work well, do not have voice comands. This makes it hard to know when to start merging over if you are really zoomed in. The gps works great all in all. I used it for about 750 miles this week!
Hi everyone,
The TyTN II is my first venture into the world of GPS on a PPC and I feel like I must be missing a step.
When I run Google Maps and select "Track Location" I see the "Initializing GPS" box in the corner, but it times out and gives me the "Your GPS receiver does not appear to be responding" message. That sounds different from a message that might be received if there was an issue with finding the satellites, (and besides, I was doing this outside with lots of clear sky.) So is there something I need to set first to "turn GPS on?"
You need to initialize the tilt GPS receiver first. I never figured out how to do that other than using GPStest, a freeware download. Once downloaded, run it (GPStest) and it will search com ports (com4) for the GPS. Run Windows Live and select 'center on GPS position.'
I look into the comm. manager did not see anything for turning the gps, on the x50v there's an icon to turn it on, if someone find it on the tilt please post. thanks
There's no icon to turn on the gps, it simply works when it needs to. Did you run the quick GPS in the programs menu??? run it forst and let me know if that takes care of things...
I ran QuickGPS and did the download
Under Settings > Connections > GPS > it is set at "CHAP"
Under Settings > System > External GPS > it is set to comm port 4 and baud 4800
I downloaded Vito Astro Navigator II (it is supposed to show the stars and galaxies overhead via GPS)
When I run that GPS program it states that "it cannot find my GPS receiver" "Refer to documentation and slect port and speed manually"
So, as a total novice in the world of GPS, I ask, where and what is my GPS receiver? Is it built into the Tilt? Do you need a program like TelNav to get a receiver. I am confused and the Tilt handbook documentation doesn't help!
You do NOT need to set up an external gps... That is MS WM6 add on to the ROM. Your device has it built in and the hardware DOES NOT have any configuration. All you need to do is open up an application, try google maps, and it menu track location...
I'm not usre with third party software like Vito, you may want to email them, but I can assure you google, Live search both work great with no configuration...
