Re: some q need answers please

i'm on telus. it's definately the same, comm 4 baud 4800, had the old touch on bell and it was the same thing... (lol when you had to actually uncripple gps by flashing)


anyway, i think it's the same thing the above poster said but if google maps tells u you are in san francisco or somewhere in cali you have to make sure "use gps" is checked in the menu (left soft key) yeah sounds obvious but it isn't automatic like tomtom or garm. anyway that might be it seeing as the bell gps prog works fine your settings are probably already correct. not like bell would somehow f up other gps progs on purpose in order for you to have to pay to use theirs...............

Re: some q need answers please

Thanks guys for help
I try to use com 4 and 4800 it didn't work , but i kept increasing the numbers till the gps worked at 14400.
The question is , what does it mean the 14400 , or 4800 ( these numbers)????

Jacksh,

the numbers are a baud rate, like the old modems.... 14000, 4800, etc is the data transfer rate. As for the GPS software, Garmin and Destinator are purchase only. Haven't tried the latest versions of each but I've found both to be pretty accurate in Canada.

those numbers are the baud rate the GPS chipset is connected to com4 at. The GPSOne chip in the MSM7501A technically runs at 57600, but usually a baud rate of 4800 (bits per second) will work or anything in between.

Too much info you don't need: NMEA spec is actually 38400.
