disco_al Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 right, if anyone can help i would be most grateful. i have had a nice b/tooth gps receiver for xmas, which works well with GPSUtil (nice little tool that provides the basics) but it will not work with autoroute 07..... the com ports are set up, although autoroute will not recognise the gps device, it is NMEA v3.0 compliant, so no problem there, but its doing my nut in anyone had experience setting one up with autoroute? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have, I seem to remember it being a bit of a pain to set up first but can't remember what the problem was now. I'm now using GPSGate but it did work without that before. Afraid I can't really offer much more advice without seeing it! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landmannnn Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Open up the gps pane. Click on configure gps in the pane and select which port you are using. The scan button should find your receiver's port. It then should work. Autoroute is not the greatest of applications for navigation, it is hardly worth the effort.

disco_al Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 done that, but a/r detects the ports, but gives the message "no gps device found" ? when it did recognise it, i got the message that "com port is available, but no signal is being received" lights on gps unit are flashing to say it has acquired a signal, and the bluetooth is connected, but it won't talk to a/r. oh well, better wait for the memory map set to finish d/loading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landmannnn Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Are you sure that the flashing lights on the receiver mean that it has acquired a signal? I have owned/used 3 or 4 mostly they have one light which is power and the other light which is the bluetooth connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 two lights, one blue (indicates b/tooth connected) and one red, which pulses about once per 3 secs to indicate a fixed position. as in first post, it will work ok with GPSUtil, can get position info, bearing, speed etc....but typical a/r having a typical m/s paddy about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
