zip support was dropped in GPSFS version....
pspryu101, I wrote up how to create simple custom maps on:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Map_Thi...g_a_Custom_Map
As for speaking turn left/right - the speaker would have to be forced to work with the headphones plugged in (is this possible?), after that the direction POIs would still be needed, but I guess could be marked up to trigger the left/right audio files to be played. But it's down to deniska if this is actually possible.
thanks in7ane.....i dunno i was just wonderin...hope it's possible though...
Anthrox, I am using MapTHis with 240. I agree that their spec sheet is confusing. They (240 and 236) are virtually same device except output voltage is 3V instead of V3.3~5. (based on spec) I am using 1K register as with deniska's original design and it works great. 240 also has bluetooth.
OK>>>
I got everything working with the latest beta build.
Works like a charm...
I do have 2 questions though...
Whats the most satellites somebody can get? I had 10. I imagine thats pretty good.
And whats fix quality? Mine always reads 1. Its very accurate, but I was wondering.
Thanks for the help...
With 10 Sats, is it even worth it buying a external antenna?
I never got higher number than 9 so far.
Fix quality: 0 = invalid
1 = GPS fix
2 = DGPS fix
Here is the link explaining what DGPS is:

You may consider external antenna if you have a stationary setup (car/boat/etc) -it should improve the reception in "bad" places (short tunnels, bridges, area with sky scrappers)
Well, I never had 10 either until this morning...
Pretty strange..
I want to relocate my GPS because right now its in my blackberry holder in my windshield.
Thats why I'm prob gonna get an external antenna.
Thanks for the info...
Does anyone know how long the Battery on a GPSlim 236 will last with continuous use?
Just wondering.
I have to make a 8 hr trip into the mountains on North Carolina and I don't want it to die.
