ok i just did it and when i scan for the gps nothing come up and when i connect it manualy no sentences stream. But on the psp i am still getting the garbled text. What does teh garble text meen even. I also tried SIRFdemo and got eh same results as teh gps veiwer
garbled text means that either your device is defective or your cable is not good... try changing resistance settings...
ok ill do that tommorow ill try putting a 1k resistor in and see if that helps. But that still doesnt explain when i try to pair it with my computer the gps veiwer wont detect it and even when i set the com port and baud rate i still get nothing. Not to mention on the ocasions it does work i get perfect sentences with my cable. Oh and i just want to thank you for taking the time to help me diagnose this. your program is great and i hope that this will help other people in the future.
Hey could a bad cable possibly cause the GPS to malfunction it self. I don't think this is it because when it is working it doesn't seem like there is any problems.
Hey i jsut wanted to thank everyone for the elp they have given me. Over this period i have discovered one thing. That is that the unit has yet to not work when left alone for about 2-3 hours. For some reason turning it on and off in a short period of time locks up the system cuaseing it to send corrupt data. So i figure that if i am makeing trips where i would be turning it on and off i will just leave it on and plug in my car adapter. Also adding a 1k resistor also seems to make a difference. not sure what but it works. My next venture is to make a cable that allows for access to the headphone jack and charging on teh gps at teh same time.
