Have GPSed Pro 2.1.6, great product

A new version 2.1.6 of GPSed for Windows Mobile released.
There was a small bug when waipoints dissapeared. Now this will not happen again. Enjoy the new version!

You will see three tabs: “Programs”, “Hardware” and “Access”. Please backup or note-down all the settings before attempting to change them.

Once that is done, try out the following settings (please note that we do not personally own an ASUS P535 and these settings are our suggestion):

1. In “Programs”, set “GPS Program Port” to GPD1.

2. In “Hardware”, set “GPS Hardware Port” to COM2, and “Baud Rate” to 4800.

3. In “Access”, make sure the “Manage GPS automatically” is checked/enabled.

4. Run GPSed Mobile Application and GPS should function properly. If this doesn’t happen, run new GPS search procedure choosing “Settings” -> “Change GPS Receiver” menu item.

I have GPSed Basic at the moment. The ‘prevent automatic power down’ is ticked in settings already. The device does switch off the screen but is still working as far as I can tell - I’ll try with it both off and on and see if that affects the problem

Thanks for your reply

all the best

I have the program set up on a Samsung SGH-i900 (Omnia) running Windows 6.1.

The sequence of events seems to be as follows (over the next few days I’ll try and get it in more detail):

Start the program. do not continue a previous track. Do not log to facebook etc. Set to update the live position and set to 1 minute interval.

The program finds satellites very quickly and appears to be logging ok (I usually start it on the mobile outside he house and then set the live track on the screen of my computer so that live updates can be seen continually).

Off we go!

At some point during a bike ride (no particular distance or time that I have noted) the program comes up with the message about the upgrade server and when I click ok the message clears. Normally at this point the mobile continues to show the program running on the screen for a few minutes and then the screen shuts off. Arriving back or checking later I find that the program has terminated.

I thought originally it was related to the upgrade server message but today the message came on and I didn’t clear it and the tracking continued. When I got home the program was still in memory. Over the next few days I’ll try a couple of combinations and see if I can reliably re-create the problem so you can investigate it more easily.

have a good Christmas
