NAVMAN GPS
I am using it with an Ipaq 3955 and CE Glide. Since
they kindly modified the program to accept the NAVMAN's unusual data rate, it has worked just fine. The 57600 baud rate has prevented me from using Glide Navigator II. I have not tried WinPilot. Mike |

GPS_LOG WinCE will also work at the 57600 baud rate. Several people I
know of are using Navmans with it. Henryk Birecki Mike Hostage wrote: I am using it with an Ipaq 3955 and CE Glide.

There is a version of the NavMan for the Palm OS machines that have the
universal connector on the bottom. Soaring Pilot allows you to configure the speed of the port for the higher speed. Works well and the 12v charging port on the NavMan will charge/power the Palm if it has rechargeable batteries. Dave Rolley Henryk Birecki wrote: GPS_LOG WinCE will also work at the 57600 baud rate.

Works fine, but it sucks batteries dry in a couple of hours so you need an external power source. I found it lost the GPS signal pretty frequently too - enough to be annoying. 9B |

Hi,
Glide Navigator II now supports the high Baud rate for NAVMAN users. Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com "Mike Hostage" wrote in message ...

I have connected Glide Navigator II with a Navman 3450. The beta versions
with the new baud rate selection will function. I was not able to get any gps altitude (elevation) data though. Any ideas? BTW I did find a compact flash gps called global sat on ebay these things are sellling for about 65 us dollars and work like a charm, with no problems connecting to GNII.

I found that a gps reset took care of everything, and the GPS now
reports altitude. Tech help from Navman wasn't helpful - I actually got the solution from a small program, supplied by Space Machine - PocketMap Navigator (its a road navigation program - quite good too). The program is called CE Monitor, and it has a feature which allows you to reset the GPS. After performing the reset, all data communicated properly with WinPilot, including altitude. The link to their site's tech support where the program can be downloaded is: http://www.pocketmap.com/accessories...g.html#GENERAL Regarding lost GPS signal: I haven't had an opportunity to test the 3450 in a glider yet, but I did purchase an external antenna, just in case I encountered any signal blockage.

I had the same problem with my 3450SE. Turned out that
the unit was not outputting the GGA sentence that SeeYou mobile requires(even though the spec sheets say it does). I found a little utility to update it to send the GGA sentences. Take a look at the See You Mobile forum for details At 16:01 11 April 2005, Joseph L. Hyde wrote: I have connected Glide Navigator II with a Navman 3450.
