Map This! v0.2

[deniska]

Hello, I'm French and i have the GPS inforad V3 ( NMEA-0183 v2.0 ) and I would like to know how to make it function with Map This.
Somebody can liberally help me.

I don't think it will work. This device seems to use usb protocol for data exchange. It has to have serial (rs232) support in order to work with map this!.

Thank you for your answer I will buy myself another receiver GPS there would be it a better GPS than the HOLUX proposed compatible with Map This?

Make sure FAKEFEED is disabled in config, check WIFI switch and UMD drive...

I have the UMD empty and the WIFI is off.

What do you mean with "FAKEFEED" in the configuration?? I don't understand it.

Thanks!

Can you post a picture of the USB cable used?
I think most all GPS recievers use rs232 output, and the conversion to USB takes place inside the cable with a "PLL" circuit, usually embedded near the USB end. Which means you could hack the cable with ease.

in mapViewer\system\ Folder is a config.txt... open it and in the Lin where FAKEFEED=1 is written you must write instead of 1 a 0 !!

FAKEFEED=0


@ ALL

So my Problem is now that in MapThis the Arrow... when I drive resfreshes every... let say 1 Second... so.. every 1 Second the Position is refrshed in MapThis...

But on deniskas Videos you can see that it's refreshing not in so long time... it need less time then at mine PSP!!!

so.. can someone help me at this or hase anyone a resolution for my problem???!!!


Thank you!!

It would be helpful if you could somehow record NMEA data from your GPS...
What probably happens, - your device produces more than 512 bytes of data per read cycle and overflows the allocated buffer...
I'll try to post an updated version tomorrow or in a few days. Hopefully it will deal with this problem....

Specs on my GPS (Pharos/Microsoft GPS-360)
Protocol:
NMEA-0183 (V2.3) standard Data rate:4800 bpsNMEA message:GGA, GSA, GSV, and RMC
With the green-screen program I can see that before data output begins, it displays Firmware version, mfgr date, etc....several lines of info. If I plug in the reciever and quickly unplug it I can see this information. There's no way to pause the output via the program.

Using the patch, I have MapThis working great now with respect to position, but the other data (altitude, time, # of satellites) doesnt show up. Its not parsing the other lines

A question for A Fn NOOB: What readtime setting have you got in your config file ?
I still cannot get my Garmin GPSIII to work with the new version. Is promising to hear that you have got your GPS working ok. I assume that the Pharos GPS-360 is a fairly recent model.

Thank you!!

Holux's refresh rate is 1 sec. I put in some basic logic which tries to predic the next location and make moving less jumpier... It seems to work best @ zoom 2 and higher...

[kamatschka]

and how can I configure this to let the Arrow move smoother.....

Need I configure the config file or do you coded it in MapView itself?!

Thank you.... deniska

I have another Question:

How can I introduce the waypoints in the map?
The in7ane's program generates one archive and I don't know where i must put it on in order to watch it.

Thx.
