I'm such an idiot, External Bluetooth GPS

Finally got it working. Instructions for externa; bluetooth GPS.

Some Pocket PC OEMs hid the GPS control panel. However, it can be unhidden by going into the registry and deleting any "Redirect" or "Hide" keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings.

Start/Settings/Connnections/Bluetooth

Check the "Turn on Bluetooth" checkbox.

Press the Device tab.

Press "Add new device..."

select your GPS device and press Next.

Check the "Serial Port" checkbox and press Finish.

Press the COM Ports tab.

Press "New outgoing port..."

Select your device and press Next.

You will see a COM port that has been chosen for your GPS. For example, COM0.

Press Finish.

Now your GPS is set up on COM0. If you do not want to use the Intermediate Driver to share the GPS port, just start your GPS app and configure it to use COM0. If you do want to use the Intermediate Driver:

Start/Settings/System/GPS. (If you do not see GPS listed, see the registry hack above.)

Set the "GPS Program Port" to any unused COM port, for example, COM9.

Press the Hardware tab.

Set the Hardware Port to COM0.

Set the baud rate to the baud rate of your Bluetooth GPS (usually 4800, or 9600).

Press OK.

Start your GPS app and configure it to use COM9.

Source: Windows Mobile Team Blog.

I used COM 0 in Bluetooth Device and COM 9 in External GPS settings.

This is a really fast application, scrolling and Sat acquisition. Haven't yet tested tracking.

Thnx Bro for advice .... but now i found GLOBAL NAVIGATION

( www.pdafun.net)

Its simple to use and map is very detailed ( google maps )

what i do is . just connect my Pocket pc with wifi . open this software . and set a zoom level then .. i click and drag all over the area where i am planning to go . after that . i click on GPS ON .. then it search for GPS ..

and tell me where i am ... and follow my phone where ever i go ..

its fun .....and free.

but getting directions and speed and turning voice command .. are available in Full version :( .

But for now . as i am new to this GPS system ... this is just ok for me ... but it will be great if some one can find a full version of this software ...

http://www.pdafun.net/index.htm GLOBAL NAVIGATION ... <<<<

if possible please some one find a crack or keygen for this software ..

coz when open this software it ask for serial .... it will be great if someone can find a crack of this to make it fully functioned .

give it try guyzzzz it funn .... and no day limit ... the thing is if u need voice navigation u need to buy .... :) ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
there is a crack outthere on the main ppc warez site... won't giv link as its illegal :p

if u like it, u shuld pay for it ;) or use the free version or free alternate ;)

Hey guys, anyone knows here can i find some "old" version of NaviMap?

I need to dump the google maps...

I know it has restrictions, but the other maps are very crappy in my location!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drnajmu:
google map

Without google map this software is not of much use!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistou:
Not at all: I am fully enjoying this software, using the other map services -- there's more to life than Google Maps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nanomite:
WOW

This is so cool. Tested tracking today and everything is great, then viewed it on Google earth. How knew GPS positioning varied by that much, at one point I must have been driving on the pavement on the other side of the road.

Also made a satellite map of London on zoom 17, 1.8 GB. Thats an insane size. More maps to be made.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] miguelcp:
Great work!

Hi from Spain!

You made a great job. What a piece of software!

Some ideas/functions to add that would be useful:

- Bearing indicator, speed...

- Bearing vector. Very useful because maps are North aligned and do not autorrotate (lots of CPU cycles?). And we would know where we are going at a glance.

- Waypoints, distance and bearing to the next WP

These are easy to implement and many of us would appreciate it!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Hi,

actually there is a heading indicator. Next to the cross which marks the position there is a small bar heading in your moving direction.

If you don't have this indicator, maybe your gps doesn't provide the heading data... What device are you using?

GMaps pleeeease

Hi..

Unfortunately for people who don't living in US or Europe, only GMaps seems to work!!! I tried the others but was not very happy.. Only federal roads appeared!! :mad:

I also don't like so much Google.. but don't exists other way :eek: :eek: :eek:

I'm begging.. Let the GoogleMaps in NaviMapper pleeeeeease... :(

When selecting it, give some warning message, something like that.. :D but don't take it out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wolfx5:
Amazing!

Absolutely fantastic work on this application, thank you for your hard work on this!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RushdB:
I agree... or leave a post with the old NaviMapper that suported GMaps... that would be nice!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RushdB:
For those who are looking for NaviMapper with GMaps support:

The autor of the software really can't help us... he is already doing a great effort with this tinny and great app!

I've googled for NaviMapper 0.5 and solved my problem!!

GMaps ready to download at my own risk!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Slinktus:
Nice

I am yet to use this outside of this concrete building im working in but it looks good.

One thing which may be an easy addtion would be to be able to automaticly soom to a selected level when you reach certain speeds. Would be nice as i drive a lot in the city and dont always want really detailed maps that i cant see far with.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grendel1960:
It would be nice if when you went out of the areas you have saved at a level, it defaulted to the next available level rather than showing a grey blank.

Can't see maps

I have installed this program and could download some maps which I copied to my device but I cannot see them. When i turn GPS on a little blue X shows up in the world map, but it won't let me zoom, What am I doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paw3lk:
Good point, I didn't know such thing existed. It's based on open street map which can be really bad in certain regions and is Java which usually means trouble on WM devices, but still it's better than nothing I suppose.

Thanks for letting know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grendel1960:
have you restarted the application as it searches for the maps on startup, also are the maps in the correct folder pointed to by navicomputer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] morris_the_cat:
I'll 2nd that request. This app with the satellite imagery would look fantastic on my wince5 based car dash navi unit. Or perhaps a list of dll's i would need to get it to run. I'll give it a shot in either case.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leunam12:
yes to both, I restarted the application and nothing, then i did a soft reset and nothing all I can see is the sample map that came with the application but it won't allow me to zoom to my created maps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] puckalicious:
I'm having similar issue of my GPS not getting a signal on a xv6800. Do I need to follow the aGPS instructions here? I'm a bit new to this device, but it is unlocked with a custom ROM and GPS radio 3.37.78. This is my first try at using GPS on it.

Topo maps for NaviMapper?

Is there any way to get Topo maps for NaviMapper, which would really make it useful for backpacking and offroad use. TerraCrosser has an option to get those from somewhere....not sure where, but was never really able to get the app to work well on my touchscreen HTC Diamond. NaviMapper seems to work well, but around cities I don't need to cache maps...I can get those through the cell-tower.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] svetlyak:

tracking position by SMS

Two tumbs for this program, great job especially you make it free.

It'll be better if you add tracking someone position by sms.

Such mother who look for son position (without sms confirmation from son).

Anyway, thanks for this program :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicfirth:
Great application, works well, I'm very impressed indeed.

Since downloading maps is quite a slow process it would be handy if the PC program could be sent to the system tray to run in the background while its working. At the moment the dialogue box which shows the progress of the download seems to want to stay on top.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hardy28:
Great Program!

Thanks for this fine Program.

Knows someone of there is any Chance to implement Maps from Google Earth?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Laffe:
I can´t see any maps... :(

They don´t show up on the app, it´s only the map that comes with the app.

Anyone knows what´s wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] puckalicious:
I'll ask again....

Does anyone know if the Verizon aGPS fix needs to be implemented to use this program? I'm not getting a connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicfirth:
I had a similar problem, it sorted itself out when I downloaded a local map and switched on the GPS. I.e. the software could see my location and the map covered it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ankuu99:
A really rocking software,, i was actually searching for this kind of sftware only! thanx for it buddy..

i was just wondering if i could download the maps with zoom more than 17!

thanku
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcio.f:
Something similar happens to me too, the download map dialog box is always on top. :rolleyes:

Other than that, this program really is amazing. I've been looking for something like it for quite some time. :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mark-I:
Great App - but how about Track Logging?

I'd really like to use this program for outdoors (MTB, hiking, etc.) and appreciate that good work very much!

However, let me please address a key issue:

- Recording of track log points only can be done by time intervall (e.g. every 10 or 30 s etc.) but not by distance (usefully e.g. 10, 20 or 50m)!

This enforces me to additionally take my Bluetooth track logger device therefore - just for being able to get reasonable track logs (without excessive size or having to reduce them manually on pc afterwards).

Unfortunately this big deficit is in common with obviously all (I checked around 20) offroad GPS progs. Even GPS Tuner and TrackyPro only poorly can reliably log by distance.

This features would make the product really "outstanding"!

Or does anybody actually know a capable app for such track logging/recording?

BTW, is recording maintained if I switch the device to standby (I'd assume)?

Thanks,

MarkI
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] la3bna:
The application is really good...

Thanks. I stubled upon it when I was looking for terracrosser (wich i culdn't find download for...)

This replaces both terracrosser and GPS cycle computer. Only thing i miss is possibilities for POI storing..

On the pluss side the maps are really small in sice compared to Terracrosser.

Agian Thank you for making this software ;) ;) ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Hi,

sorry, I can't help on this, I don't know anything about your device/aGPS fix...

Is your gps working? (Do you have "fixed" in the upper right corner)

NaviComputer won't add trackpoints if they are less than 3m away from previous point! So the size of your track file won't increase when you are not moving. Isn't that ok for you?

I already fixed that in upcoming version 0.7.

However, I will need some more days till the release of next version since there will be some neat new features (and fixes of course):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holgertepper:
Very cool - nice job

Hey !

I was searching for a GPS Tracking/Map software for My Touch HD a longer time, but finally i installed this one and its really cool.

Works fine.

A hint for those who get error messages while installing .NET over ActiveSync.

Use a downloadable cab-file:

Use this link: CLICK HERE

http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...kann-net-nicht-installieren-net-framework.zip

Put this on your Phone and run it, that works fine.

THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD JOB:)

I also had disappearing maps. To correct this I tried resetting, but that did not work. Finally I just reinstalled the app leaving the maps in the map directory.

Hope these help.

Ok, I don't know what I did but it's working now. Thanks, great application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parkhaus:
It would be great to have the MAP BORDERS shown on the world map. Terracrosser has that feature. Whenever a more detailed map is available in a certain area, it is embraced with a red line. In Navicomputer, you have to guess where you have detailed maps.

Besides that, a really great program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Toryanse:
2x Zoom

Thanks for all the work on NaviComputer. It's is really good.

I switched from Terracrosser, but I like the interface of NaviComputer better. As mentioned earlier, Terracrosser shows map borders of a next zoomlevel. This would be nice.

On my X1 maps are diffucult to read, so the 2x Zoom is very handy. However if you zoom to a different zoomlevel, the zoom switches back to normal. Could you make the 2x Zoom a global option in the options menu?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PKGCMC:
I will drive crazy - please help !!!

I had the same problem with Terracrosser.

I downloaded and installed NaviComputer on my HTC Diamond.

Worked fine!

I created a Test map and put it into the MAP Folder.

Worked fine !!

I created two more maps and add them to MAP folder.

Now only the default world map workes.

Even the Test map (used to work) stopped working!?

What happend????

Maybe the program stop's working after a softreset?!

Crazyyy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drag-On:
AWESOME program! works a treat! thank you!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luckyuser:
Thanks for that great program! works like a charme on my Touch HD! Don't like it, love it!;)

I think the trick with the maps people can't open in Navi Computer:

you always need a mapfile(fragment) that can display your GPS-position.

for example: Your gps-position is somewhere in the city Amsterdam, your map should include the mapfragment Amsterdam. If it is so, the map changes automaticly from the OpenStreetMap samplemap to your own created map with the different zoomlevels.Correct me if i'm wrong:D

Sorry for my bad english!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dabada:

Tested the tracklog, works great! Before i could use the gpx.file i had to open/save it again with soft(free)ware Easy GPS. Then I could open the file in Google Earth and even in Garmin Map Source and lat but not least I uploaded the file to my Garmin GPS 60CSX.

GPS fix is very good, couldn't see any kind of gps lag.

Its a very good app, but would like some features like:

*a little nice arrow(GPS Position) instead of the blue X on the map

*would be nice if the map could rotate with the driving direction, now its just the opposite of the direction.

*that the backlight would stay on when you recording a track and when you reload the rercorded track shown on the map again so that you can easily trackback the route.

* more info about, how to rectangle the map in navimapper for the best results of viewing the map on ppc, for details zoom 16 and 17 I'm getting almost errors.

Keep ontracking!I wil be betatesting;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hardwing:
Hi,

I got a problem.

The program is running well if the GPS signal is available. However, the map is switched off once the signal is lost (e.g go inside a building) and become grey. I suspect that the program determine wrong position just at the moment of signal loss and switch to where I didn't download the map before.

Any idea to solve this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistou:
I have maps at various levels: more general for large areas and more specific for the areas in which I'm more interested. That way, whether or not I have a GPS signal, I can browse maps of whatever I want to see.

For example, I've got a map of the whole world at levels 1-6, then another map of the more populated section of the world (i.e. a rectangle that does not include areas near the poles) at levels 7-8. Then large areas such as Europe, Middle East, USA/Canada, etc. at 9 or 9-10. Following that I've got specific countries at 10-12/13 and various cities at either 10-15 (if I don't already have that country) or 12/13-15/17 (if I do have the country and depending on my level of interest).

Yes, it takes some time to figure out which map source is best for the purpose and to download everything, but I find it to be well worth the time and the space on my SD card.
