significance of COM ports with GPS
Hi All
In settings -> system -> remote GPS, the vogue allows you to change which COM port the GPS operates on. All threads that I have come across talk about using it on COM 4 which seems to be the default, but is there any reason why I shouldn't change it to COM 1 so that I don't need to manually set to COM4 every time I start Holux GPSView? Also, anyone know what the 'Cold Start', 'Warm Start', 'Hot Start' buttons and 'WAAS/EGNOS' checkbox in Holux GPSView actually do? Cheers Steve |

Re: significance of COM ports with GPS
The phone communicates through "serial" with the gps receiver. It is hardwired for com4. Our device is just a little too small to have shunting jumpers where you can select the comport. While software might be out there to program the chip to a different comport, my money is on that it's hardwired...
Follow these two links to finger out the other two questions...  Differences between WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS The meaning of WARM START, COLD START, AutoLocate, and "Search the Sky"
