Title: Connecting HaiCom GPS to GPSNavX
#2
Magica Wrote:Luckily I found this excellent forum on the net as I just started using my Powerbook with GPSNavX. I got everything installed including the Maptech maps Big Grin
Everything was working fine until I bought a HAICOM HI-204E USB GPS and connected it to the Powerbook. I followed the instructions on the help page downloading the drivers and everything, and connected the GPS to the machine. Everything looked fine and I got the green light, and the satellites started to turn green as well - GREAT! Due to my location I only got 4 satellites at the time, but that should be sufficient to get a position fix, but no. Satellites are green, and the only message I get is: "No position data received from GPS within last 1.5 minutes"
My settings are:
Type: SiRF USB (tried the others as well with no luck)
Port: /dev/cu.usbserial
Rate: 4800
No LAT/LON /COG/SOG are showing, but INVALID - NO FIX is showing in red.
Are there anybody out there with the same problem that can help me? Do I need to install additional software for the GPS itself? (Only windows software is in the box).
By the way, the UTC time updates correctly as soon as I get one satellite in the green, so I have communication on some data...
