Guys,

I have OMNIA II with JG4 Rom. I have succesfully fixed GPS performance with GPS Mod Driver (GPSmoddrivers uses COM2 and GPS uses COM4). Everything works perfectly with IGO8 and Primo1.1, as I have excellent navigation, accuracy and fast sat lock.
So, I tried to setup TMC, as well. I installed all cabs and followed instructions. The problem is that, although TMC seems to work when I setup HyperGPS (Driver can be set active and be tested as well), the GPS has stopped to get sat info.

I have unsuccesfully tried several COM options, like COM2 for GPSmodriver, COM4 for IGO8 and Primo 1.1 and COM 6 and 8 for HyperGPS. I have also unsuccesfully tried everything with GPSModdriver uninstalled.

Any idea?

Noticed that also. In Primo, frequency scanning is done in Royaltek only.
Protocol change in sys.txt and hypergps to gns stopped scanning. Freq 0.0
All with V2

royaltec mod is only recommended with Omnia / Omnia II

Hello,

I use COM6 with HyperGPS and it works with iGO8, also I don't use GPS Mod Driver nor any other GPS mod program.

Port :COM6
FM Band : CCIR (I live in Spain)
Data output : TMC Data
Sound output : Speaker
Mute radio : Tuned sound
Log mode : Not logged
Protocol : Royaltek

My iGO8 settings for GPS are Port 7 and 57600 baud.

My sys.txt extract for gps:
[gps]
source="virtlserial"
port=7
baud=57600

My system.ini extract for tmc:
[tmc]
saved_config_available="1"
saved_config_classname="NMEA_GPSTMC_ROYALTEK"
saved_config_portname="COM"
saved_config_port="6"
saved_last_tuning_mode="0"
auto_tuning="0"
saved_last_frequency="1079"

Good luck!

Error reporting switched off - problem solved (at least it seems so ) THX a lot!

Hello wm2030,
i am also running Navigon 7.3.x on my Omnia 2 with HyperGPS, but as soon as i use HyperGPS with TMC then a get a huge delay in the GPS information: Waiting at a red traffic light i can see for approx 15 seconds how i am arriving!
So could you pls. show here your settings: Navigon version, standard rom version, used port etc?
regards
norfer


BTW: i use the old version of hypergps because with the new one (sept 19) i can get no GPS or TMC signal (no GNS signal, only ports 4-6-8?)

[Dado...]

for Omnia use Royaltek protocol not GNS

[itsintilas]

Thank you guys, I 'll make a try.

Thank You Man!  It works!  

Thank You phj! Now I can appreciate your work. Receiving events ...

Is there a way to listen to the radio station while navigating?

There is a new 2.1 version, which has ( I hope ) correct audiopath setting. It was a hard work, because the audio device which must talk with differ regarding the jack state....

The original test program which used at the very beginning polished a bit - strongly recommend its usage in the case any TMC reception problem. The most important is the two numbers below the RDS text:  the number of received RDS and TMC message frequency. The normal values is 10 : 2 , if less, the reception is not perfect.

Experimental feature of the program is the HyperGPS-like mode: in the TMC screen there is a possibility to select the navigation program, start it and over the virtual COM6 port act as Royaltek TMC receiver.

To download it, please study the web page

Thank you for this new version. Unfortunately, I'm having a small problem with audio in iGo with this version. Without a headset connected, if I set sound output to Speaker in HyperGPS I have no audio at all in iGo (no screen taps, no voice guidance). If I set sound output to Headset, I do have audio in iGo (again, without headset connected).

I would expect audio to be routed to the speaker independent of the sound output setting if no headset is connected. With a previous version, audio in iGo worked correctly when sound output was set to Speaker.

Kind regards,
Ruud

Hi
can someone tell me, what registry values i have to change for loading and unloading the Hypergps driver, because with the HyperGps_Switcher the driver seems not to be unloaded well. My Omnia 2 hangs after every use and i have to softreset the device.


thanks

I installed the 2.1 GFMAPI and Rdsradio. I live in Finland and at my location TMC is working in rdsradio with frequency 99.9 but when I start igo primo i can't get tmc signal. I use the following sys.txt:

[interface]
show_exit=1
extra_settings=0
resolution_dir="800_480"
vga=0

[rawdisplay]
highres=0
screen_x=800
screen_y=480
class="landscape"

[tmc]
port="COM,6"
baud=38400
source="royaltek"
auto_tuning="1"
enable_subscription=1
;harman eten galik opentmc2 opentmc1 hyundai samsung amaryllo royaltek gns

[GPS]
source="virtserial"
port=9
baud=9600
protocol=nmea

I have tried many other TMC solutions but none of them has worked. This configuration shows me the frequency 0.0 others showed just an empty space.

Any Help is appreciated

Your sys.txt is odd.
GPS port is usually 7 (9 is the hardware port) as an example.

Try using the one posted by ketegano in this page.
It worked for me.
Also, mine is working better with v2 so consider that too.

Thanks phj, you've breathed life into my Omnia II again. Found this at the right time while am currently in Germany. Quite useful feature.

Hi,

http://phj.hu/i8000/TMC  seems to be down again ?

Also one question, I guess Omnia Pro B7610 uses the same chip as the I8000 ?
So the installation should work the same way on OmniaPro ?

Tnx !
