Guest chipedwood Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) well this is the first PPCI have ever owned/touched I am a complete newbie to this, So this could be simple or complex I don't know. What I want to do is use this PPC as a tomtom. I have a GPS receiver in my car and it has been working fine in another car until I got given it. The receiver I have is: Brodit 971582 Active Holder. They have a terrible website that helps me very little, however as far as I know the problem is just my PPC settings. When I go to set up my tomtom it asks me 3 questions. 1. what kind of device do you have; tomtom wireless, tomtom wired, other NMEA GPS, other Bluetooth GPS.........At this stage I have persumed Other NMEA GPS, while I have been fiddling 2. It then asks me for GPS baud rate; the slider runs from 1200 - 115200......I've been guessing wildly at this, I am clueless. 3. Finally it asks; GPS is connected to: Infared port, com4, com5, BT on com6, serial cable on com1, com9, com2, serial on USB.... I guessed at serial cable on COM1 and Serial on USB to little success So I have a cabled GPS device that works, and a SPV M1000. I just don't know what settings to put in to make it work. Is there anything else I need to do to make this GPS device work. It has been working on this PPC but when it completely lost power it lost all the tomtom settings, when I powered it up again it auto installed tomtom and did some other things. Any help would be great with this thanks G Edit: App version 5.210 (5430) GPS driver v1.20 Map great_britan-map v562 Edited July 4, 2008 by chipedwood
