digitraveler

must be me; i tried the car charger usb approach which is simpler. But i get no gps found. i tried with batteries and no green light. tired com3, com2. :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
It will be Com1, you need to turn of incoming beams in settings/connections/beams. You will also need to disable any driver for external keyboard becuase this also grabs com1 for its own use.

Can digitraveller be used on the XDA II ?

Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie at this..but man after hearing all the cool stuff about

this Digitraveller, Is it possible to use it on the XDA II by switching the

cables as mentioned in the "Yorck" tutorials ?

Do appreciate your comments on this.

Thanks dudes !!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] yann:
Yes it's the same configuration than the XDA 1
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] valheru:
Works great. Soldered up the gps connection, added power to both the phone and gps, and soldered the power connection to put my phone in "car mode" so all the voice prompts use the speaker. Awesome.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] pamale:
where did you find it? because I've been lookin in a lot af radioshack and they said that is dicontinued.

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] valheru:
They are. Some have just one or two. I am trying to get my hands on three more to sell. Let the auction begin! For a little extra, I may even solder up the connectors for those who are leery of doing it themselves.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] valheru:
Running low on places to get these from. Should I auction the devices I can get, just set a straight price, etc? :lol:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] valheru:
One last question...does anyone know of a way to use the GPS and Phone at the same time?

It seems both use com1, can we assign one of the devices to another com port thereby allowing both to work simultaneously?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] valheru:
Both cell and gps functioning at the same time. Amazing.

Hi,

I just bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....&category=23381&sspagename=STRK:MEBWN:IT&rd=1

for €60 or around £40 and I receive it tomorrow and will post results. It should charge SPV in my case and power GPS. Hopefully I can modify this with a Safe2Talk unit and connect it to my Radio with a mute function...

Cheers

Couldn't open the Serial COM1: port!

Need help................ been reading this thread......I have an sx56, unlocked & I use a prepaid t-mobile card in it.....works great as a phone & pda.......I purchased a GPS Digitraveler (ebay)& cable (PcMobile) with high hopes...........I installed the software that came with Digitraveler(Handheld version) & couldn't get it set up with com1.... went in to system memory stopped all programs, turned off phone & still can't get com1 to come up........I downloaded GPS Monitor software(suggested by a techie)....I can now locate Com1 in port settings, but keep getting the message "Couldn't open the Serial COM1: port!" when I try to initialize the gps..........I am beginning to wonder if the unit is bad......I have never seen the green light.....tried several sets of new batteries........nothing.

Hey Guys,

Seattleboi1982.........you are a genious! Shutting down the "beam" worked like a charm...........it took me a while to figure out how to get the maps downloaded & pick up the gps signal, but IT WORKS!

Cruisin thru,

I didn't play with my cable because I had purchased a cable from PcMobile that was specifically designed for XDA to Digitraveler ...it also has the cigarette lighter power adapter...............it works great now that I turned off the beam.

I appreciate you guys on this forum..........I've learned a lot about my sx56........

buttom line to my understanding after all gps works on XDA1 (Qtek, O2, SX56, Wallaby) versions in general with simple soldring job with specifically the brands Digitraveler & Royal tek Mouse if right then point 2 is what countries does these HW support & does that include Middle East & is the SW is also HW specified or i can perchase any software from local market & they should work, if this is the case what type of SW these devices support, i would be gratefull if some can provide me with head lines on those :roll:

i will defenatly be intrested & since you have used it i just have tiny question since am not a gps pro at all, i live in the middle east where their are no maps for this region, so here is my question,

1. Which of the SW that digitraveler uses which allows me to feed it with my own maps?

2. Does it work with Vito Navigator?

3. I have XDA1 WM2003 would it work with it? (i understand that some soldering work should be made)

4. If i decide to go to XDA2 would it still work with it?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] ryguy61sx56:
The Hardware will work with any standardized device software. (Compliant)

It will work with vito Navigator

If you don't want to sodder you can buy a cable ready made from the link up above in this post

I do not know if it works With XDA II.

For french people who can't play with the digitraveler 8-(, there's a gps mouse kit for the xda2 at :

http://v2.webdistrib.com/(7759c684a...ant_a_la_fois_le_PDA_et_le_GPS___p_47806.html

for 104.99 €. The cable that power both the qtek2020 and the mouse is included. It's the haicon gps hi-204e.

Is it worth ?

Thanks for the tip on this!

Everybody, thanks for the tip on this Radio Shack DigiTraveler GPS. Calling around Albuquerque Radio Shacks, I found that one local Shack had two of these. I was able to buy

* 2 DigiTravelers

* 1 IPaq cable

* 1 Laptop cable

* 1 Palm cable

* Software x 2

No mounting things suction cup things, but, both GPSs work, modified the cable (Thanks Yorch!). Works great.

For both units I paid a total of $45. Two complete GPS systems for less than $50, what a bargain!.

Can't view maps!

I bought a Digitraveler off Ebay and I followed the set up steps outlined in this forum. I’m having a problem viewing the maps on both my laptop and PDA. Are there suppose to be two disks included with the package – a software install disk and a map disk? If so, then I’m missing the map disk (which I assume must be in the CD drive to get the mapping info). Any assistance would be appreciated
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sumitk:
Re: Sorry My Mail Server crapped

For any of the guys using the XMap software that comes with the Digitraveler on XDA - anyone else seen this? Whenever I go to Tools | Find to enter an address, the Pocket PC virtual keyboard flashes for a minute, then disappears. Which means I have no keyboard to enter the address. Which means I can't enter any addresses. Which means I have to depend on the desktop S/W to create routes, waypoints etc. Which sucks.

One time I was able to enter an address, where the keyboard stayed put. I don't remember how I got that.

Is there a sequence to how to bring up the Find dialog with the keyboard still intact? AM I missing something?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sumitk:
BTW, the version that shows up for XMap Handheld is v1.22(RS) Build Aug 3 2002.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] kdorff:
Software for the cheap GPS...

I didn't try the software that came with the GPS, but, I did try the 2004 version of what I think is the same software (Street Atlas 2004 Handheld). I compared it against Pocket Streets and Mapopolis. Mapopolis work swith the XDA (PocketPC 2003 and presumably 2002) and between the 3 is the HANDS DOWN best of the 3 packages.

I would encourage you to go to mapopolis.com and get the software and download the trial map for your county (or counties). It is NICE software and very fast.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sumitk:
Re: Software for the cheap GPS...

I bought the Digitraveler - obviously I am a cheapskate. I sure as hell am gonna try to make the included software work. I wrote because I hadn't heard this problem being mentioned anywhere, and was wondering if I was doing something wrong. I do get the impression from reading around that Mapopolis is much good.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sumitk:
Re: Software for the cheap GPS...

FWIW, I found out

- When I'm connected to the receiver, the keyboard stays put, unless

- I try to change the keyboard type.

Now, for the life of me, I cannot work out why I cannot get voice prompts. I am using Road Routes that I create on the XDA.

I had a friend of mine help convert an IPAQ connector to XDA. He took out the wires which were grounding/jumping other pins. Can that be the reason why I don't get voice?

Also, the only instructions in the help for retracking route is to give a voice command. Is there any other way to do this?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
The wiring of the connecter has no bearing on the voice prompts as far as I know.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sumitk:
I also tried Mapopolis, and

(1) I agree, it's way better. But seeing as its maps are county based, even getting a minimum set for the Bay Area is going to mean lots of dough.

(2) Even with Mapopolis, I don't get any voice prompts, making me suspect it is the wiring which is tripping me.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
The wiring consists only of power. data in, data out, nothing there to affect speech unless you are hooked up to a car kit.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] jashry:
www.pdamods.com has a gps receiver for teh XDA and XDA 2 - I purchased one and it worked with both machines
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sumitk:
Then, what else might be the issue? Why can I not get voice prompts, with either Mapopolis or XMap?

And, out of curiosity, if the other black wires in the iPaq connector are not really needed, what are they there for? Like, the two black wires in the connector, if they were power wires, were not really going out anywhere, just sort of jumpering other pins. Whay was that?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sumitk:
Hey Valheru, can you explain better what you mean by that? "All the voice prompts use the speaker" - does that mean the speakerphone on the XDA, or car speakers (via a cassette adaptor)? From reading other posts I was not able to make out for certain if setting up a mode so that all voice prompts came from the XDA speaker was possible. If it is, can you repeat the instructions for how you did it?

Sumit.

Who wants to make some cash?

Would anyone in the US on these posts be willing to upgrade my SX56 (att) to windows mobile 2003 and if I send them a digitravel make the necessary adjustments so It works w/ the SX56. Is there a cable I can buy that works so no soldering has to be done. Please let me know how much you would charge for this? I'd like to be able to use the phone the same time as the GPS so if you could arrange that too, that would be great. Thanks guys. You are all sitting here soldering and doing these great things and I can't even get the windows media player to play mp3's. I don't consider myself computer illiterate, but the device is really starting to frustrate me and I don't understand why I have to read forums to work the thing instead of the manual telling me what to do?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] creativeusernamea:
I'm in a similar position with TWRP already installed but ROM manager gives me the option to flash CWM. If I use ROM manager will it still replace TWRP? I'm assuming it does, but I wanted to double check first.

PS I'm running an LG Optimius 4X HD, but a Google search for my question brought up this thread, which saves me starting my own.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I would not use Rom Manager. I would download a flashable zip made for your phone and flash it from TWRP. Alternatively, you could install it via adb/fastboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] creativeusernamea:
Thanks for the suggestion - is that done just by putting the zip onto the phone and using the "install" function in TWRP, just like flashing ROMs? :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Yes. Personally, I used the latest release of Philz Touch which is based on CWM. There is a version that can be flashed via a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and a tar version that can be flashed in the PDA section of desktop Odin.

Hi. This thread is ONLY for Korean users of Xperia Z and Koreans who wants to buy it.

Since Xperia Z is not most likely coming to Korea, let's share where to buy it and more.

Please share your reviews, where to buy it and more. :)
[Xperia Z General] Intact1980:
Disappointed in Sony and SK Telecom

I have sent email after email to Sony Mobile Korea (SMK) since the Xperia S was announced last year to find out if it was coming to Korea. They could not give me any answers. Eventually I was told that Sony will DEFINITELY release a "new and better phone than the Xperia S in 2013".

When the Xperia Z was announced I thought This Is It!!!

Again one email after the other got me nowhere - each time the same response: we have no information yet...

The only info I got from SMK was that the phone will NOT be released in March. So will it be released later or not???

The handset has been released in more than 60 countries already. One would think that Sony would make decision about Korea. This country has a tough market and the Xperia Z is the perfect phone to get a stronger hold in the Korean market.

Anyway, I know the phone is available on Gmarket. Just search Xperia z

It would be good to have a Korean phone the seller and ask if the phone can be used in Korea, just to be sure.

You can then choose from a variety of service plans from KT: ktexpatblog . com

Choose the "Mobile Phones" tab and then "Rate Plans".

I hope this is helpful.

I will wait a while longer until Sony officially make an announcement on whether the Xperia Z will be released in Korea (I doubt though if we will ever get a definite answer).
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
I don't think Z will launch in Korea. Simply because Sony and HTC have given up on the Korean market due to Samsung's obvious dominance in its home country. :)
[Xperia Z General] Intact1980:
Maybe

Maybe they will. Sony is desperate to get back into the market and they finally have the phone to do so.

On the other hand, it's not good news that Motorola and HTC pulled out of Korea last year and Blackberry will do the same this year. This shows how dominant Samsung is in SK.

But the Xperia Z is finally a phone that can compete with Samsun's Galaxy and Note. They would be stupid if they don't push the Z in Korea.

This is Sony's chance to get into the Korean market.
[Xperia Z General] pongnamu:
Yeah... I mailed them and they said that they are working for releasing a new phone between Q1-Q2. But no news :( If they are planning for XZ, they need to be quick because it isnt smart for sony to release XZ after Samsung release S4.
