Title: No GPS Live Tracking with Windows 10
Post by: spartan on July 28, 2020, 10:52:41 AM

I've got the latest (at the time of this post) version of TF, and am running Windows 10 Pro 64b. I've got a GPS on COM1, from Sierra Wireless. VisualGPS shows the receiver is working fine, and a few other GPS testing programs can see the data from COM1.

However, TF cannot.

When starting Live Tracking, I have tried all options (and set each one under options), to no avail. No GPS location is shown on the map, it doesnt re-center, nothing. Everything but NEMA will display an error (which I expect). The NEMA setting allows me to click Start Tracking, but nothing happens. I know it's not a cold boot situation for GPS, but I let it run for over 8 hours - no GPS position was plotted on the map.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Apologies for missing this post somehow.

There must be something slightly different in the NMEA string being produced by that GPS.

If you want to try to debug it send me an email at smorris@topofusion.com and we'll take a look.

Thanks.

No worries. How do I send you a debug file?

Send me an email and I'll send you a debug version of the software.  We'll go from there.

Thanks.
