Something that can interest GPSout users

[Buzzz]

Recently, I made a new program similar to GPSout but for another sim.

I had a problem that may also exist with GPSout : all the pocketPC program may not recognize the GPS signal.

For example, for me, Tomtom or PocketFMS worked, but not OZIexplorer.

The solution I found is to use GPSgate. GPSgate is GPS splitter program.

In GPS gate, select TomtomGPS as input and create a virtual port as output (let say 7 for example).

Then in your GPS prog, select the virtual port 7 as input : It works!

Interesting. I wonder what it actually does?

The Beta version of the GPSout package provided in the Forum (see top announcement) includes a little freeware virtual serial port link program which may do the same job, if it is onlya port problem. It works well with the new option in WideFS to distribute GPSout data around a Network.

Yes, I wonder too :roll:

I don't think my problem is due to a Port connection but to a language understanding, since Tomtom succeeds reading the NMEA sentences and then transmits it correctly to GPSgate. The question I ask myself is :"what does Tomtom I don't, to the NMEA sentences?"

PS : The freeware you talk about is for a PC. GPSgate can be used for a PPC.
