It looks like 4800 baud is not working atm for MapThis!


I have a beta that works. If Deniska has no objection, I can post it up.

I dont have source, so I cant compare the two versions..... Something simple surely

I must have explained myself wrong, just a minor correction: GPSlim uses NMEA standart 183 version 2.2 - NOT the latest version 3.01...

Tip: since you're updating the front post for users using 2.XX firmware it was found recently an GTA:LCS-less exploit ... soon (not yet) every one can use homebrew without GTA...

Yeah, I read that and thought about adding it but until there's an e-loader for it I think I'll wait. No need to clutter up the web with more info that's already in a thousand places.

I'll update the first thread with the NMEA info.

Thanks,
Jay

You may need to increase it the READTIME further to be able to pick up both rmc and gga messages...
Looks like currently you just reading rmc only...
Don't increase it to much though - you'll be slowing down the rendering and overall responce of the application...

Do you have a way to record your NMEA sentences with some PC tool? It would be interesting to see which sentences your device sends and in what sequence...

Yes, you can post it (I think that someone even created a serial # generator for it in one of the threads...)

Could you please try the new 0.2 version and play with newer settings in the config file.
Let me know if it works with your device..
