Title: Problems with CF-29 and internal GPS connecting
Post by: m38a1guy on March 21, 2008, 07:06:42 PM: Hi,

I got my CF-29 and it has a stock GPS with it. I noticed I am having some issues with it. While it works with TF when activated it doesnt seem to initialize the GPS correctly.

Basically I try to see if its connecting and track position, but I sends me to Africa and never connects properly, YET when I use MS Roads & trips and connect the GPS with that problem its fine, then I can exit out of that program and use TF with No issues on Tracking.

I have tried version 3.12-23 and they all still have a problem

I have it set to the NMEA/Magellan Baud 4800 and Com3 which is the GPS setting com port.

Any Ideas, should I send the GPS drivers to you as they are the same for all CF-29 GPS units.

Basically its a minor glitch but still a pain when trying to connect, also MS Roads and trips shows the Sats connecting and how many which is nice to know I am even connecting a signal, it says if its recieved info, TF doesnt.

Please help if possible.

If anyone else has a CF-29 with internal GPS please Post.

Strange that going in to MS streets and trips "fixes" it. My guess is that I can debug this if you just have it sit trying to track for a minute or two and then send me the resulting log file. I believe there is debug info still present in the log file.

Thanks.
