Hello!

I need to set the right COM port for the GPS on a HTC X7500ADVANTAGE device that runs under Win Mobile5. The GPS is set under COM5 and all other GPS based softwares as TomTom, LK8000, Flight Assistant, XCSoar works fine, but on SD only have two COM port options: COM3 and COM8. I tried to set the device COM output to both COM3 and COM8 and at any baud rate, but there's no dialog between the software and the device, nor the device GPS light flashes as for the other softwares. I tried also using the Microsoft Driver option in GPS settings on SD, but nothing happens.
The GPS signal acquisition is very fast in all the softwares.
Is there a way to set and test COM5 as com port for GPS on SD?

Thank you,

Alessandro

Edit: solved changing COM port value in Settings.ini file. now works fine.

thanks



The gps and instrument settings are remembered if I close down properly. I look forward to Tim's upgrade so that chart-following is remembered.

Out of everything mentioned in this topic, only the follow mode is not remembered. It will be in the next release.

If the instrument visibility and your GPS settings aren't being remembered, then your device isn't remembering anything and there isn't much I can do about it

Ooops, sorry, Instrument visibility settings are retained.

Edit function must be disabled?

Johnm,  the chart following setting is not remembered (as far as I'm aware).

Nor is the instrument setting

Does your satnav at least now remember the GPS port?

HI

I tried your suggestion but I still need to set the chart following option every time that i switch on even though I close down properly.

Johnm, how do you shut down the program?

In InFlight, close by clicking  Route - Exit before shutting down the PNA. This should save the GPS settings.

I have inflight on a CE device. To make it find satellites I need to set it to Port 7 and tick the alternate port box. If I switch it off and back on I need to go through the whole process again. This also applies to turning off the altitude and speed tapes and to set the chart to follow position.

How do I get it to save my settings please?
