Make sure you get GENERIC version for holux and not PSP-290 version. The holux version must be ran under 1.5 kernel

I take it the NMEA parser doesn't display anything on the screen, if it didn't interpret it as an NMEA sentence?

I know the data is getting into the PSP because I see it in other apps.

This is a bit off topic but has someone managed
to connect a Holux 236 to a serial port on PC?

I tried connecting GPS Pin 3 to PC pin 2,
and Pin 1 to PC pin 5, but at 38400 8N1
I just see a bunch of garbage on screen.

I tried NMEA and SIRF modes as well, I think

Do I need a resistor for a PC?

Any ideas?

I don't know how to start a new thread, but has anybody out there tried using the QSTARZ receivers? Somebody else on this thread just asked about the BT-Q818. This seems to be a very popular receiver at the moment (next to the holux 240 and m1000 at buygpsnow.com). Incidentally, I just sent the question to the cable people at pc-mobile.net. If they reply, I'll post their response here.
Cheers
