Guest WALFY Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Does anyone have Franson on disk? I have it on my laptop but I can't seem to get it onto my in car PC. If I put in on my flash drive it won't take on the PC. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 James If you're not using Fransom, What are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 i downloaded an update software patch direct off the panasonic site suitable to my machine and the build in GPS that solved the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 OK. Bugger. Will have to try some other way of getting Fransom onto my PC. Might have to go down the route of connecting my mobile to it and downloading it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Have you got a USB port on your carPC mark? couldn't you use a memory stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Jamie Yes have a USB. Put Franom on but it still won' take any info from GPS. It uses a 9 pin to put info into PC. Perhaps it needs to go in via a USB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 A thought came to me earlier. How can I test that the lead from the GPS to PC is actualy moving information. It is of the type that it comes from the Cig socket for power and splits. 1 end goes to GPS and the other goes to PC terminating in a 9 pin plug. If I put a multimeter on the 9 pin plug checking each port will they show any power/info enough to register on the meter. Or does any one have another lead to confirm tha my lead is at fault? Or know of another way of testing my setup? Setup is as follows. PC running XP home. MM4 Garmin 12 XL Pattern lead to connect it all up.

Guest diesel_jim Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 What is the plug on the GPS end of the lead like Mark? the one for my GPS3+ is a round one, about 3/4" diameter (maybe slightly smaller) with 4 pins. yer welcome to try it out, i'll fling it in the post if you want.

Guest WALFY Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Jamie Yes that's roughly the size. Fits in the back of the GPS. Must admit it's not as good a fit as the Garmin power lead. Not sure what a Garmin lead will cost to do the same thing as the pattern lead I have. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/POWER-PC-Cable-GARMI...1QQcmdZViewItem This is what I have. Just a similar make.

western Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Have a look on GPSW I've got a garmin data/power lead for my 12XL from them, it has the round plug for fitting in the 12XL & 4 bare end wires for data in data out power in earth this one connected the 12XL to vehicle battery & my Kenwood TM-D700 ham radio for position info, works fine, you could fit your own PC plug to it.

Guest diesel_jim Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I know he would if I asked but I think with a TD5 build going on he has enough on his plate s'not a problem mate, if you get one fling it over i'll glue on a plug, no problem (that's what work time is for... ) that above lead you posted the link from eblag is virtually the same as the one i've got. got mine from Maplins although it was only about £20 when i got it! again, shout if you want to borrow it to eliminate your lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Jamie Will try the GPS with my laptop tomorrow to see if it's the lead or my PC. I'll give you a shout ref the lead. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
