Working fine on My Mio168. Is yours an original 168 or a 168RS? I'm fortunate in that my 168 is used solely for Wherigo and I was therefore able to do a hard reset before installing the new version.

Jermey has reported this in other threads but I thought i'd also add a note here to say that my Mitac Mio 168 is Working well with Wherigo Player.

Jeremy did say on another thread that they are working to improve Wherigo Player VGA support in the very near future. This MAY only be part of the issue though, it depends whether the Wherigo Player will be able to handle the resizing of media in cartridges to look decent on your VGA screen. I would imagine that most cartridge builders will tend to gear their cartridges toward QVGA for now as this is still very much the standard for PDA's and far outnumbers VGA devices.

Well there's a certain reassurance in knowing i'm not alone I believe the AT&T Tilt is essentially the same device as the XDA Stellar so *fingers crossed* if you can get yours working it'll fix mine too. Out of interest, does the Wherigo Player utilise the Windows Mobile Intermediate GPS Driver, and if so is it using Parsed mode or Raw mode?

Unfortunately I was wrong in my last post - The Jan 14th Player Update and the removal of other apps from my device has not actually fixed the problem at all. I'm not sure why it seemed to work ok briefly? Perhaps the GPSr was still in some kind of "warm start" state? So I still have the two issues mentioned previously. 1) Wherigo starts the GPSr but gets no signal unless you have first run another gPS enabled program 2) When you have followed the above procedure and got a gps signal it is highly erratic and jumps between good/excellent signal and no signal constantly I really hope that an upcoming release might address the issues i'm having as I really can't wait to get stuck into Wherigo! The fact that other apps such as goolge maps work without these problems gives me some hope

teamgoonies, I wouldn't be surprised if support for 240*240 screens is introduced in a future release but in the mean time you might like to go to Nyditot.com and try the virtual screen utility they offer. It's $20 but a free trial is available and it has worked for others. Hope this helps.

I'm pleased to report that Wherigo Player on my XDA Stellar is now able to acquire satellite's without me having to "kick start" it by first using another GPS enabled application. I believe this was either as a result of installing the lastest Wherigo Player release (dated 14th Jan) or as a result of having a cleanup on my device. Specifically I removed Google Maps, Nav4All, GPSTool and Nokia smart2go. I intend to reinstall some of the apps which I removed and will advise whether this affects Wherigo Player. Perhaps one of the Wherigo developers could confim whether the 14th Jan build contained a fix for the problem I was experiencing? I have not yet had a chance to test whether the stability of the reception has improved but will advise in due course.

Is there a procedure for reporting bugs to the Wherigo development team or are people generally just posting them here on the forum?. If the latter is the case then perhas a dedicated thread would be useful? Elcaro.

First thing i should say is that the inbuilt GPS works perfectly in other programs such as TomTom, Google Maps, Nav4All and many others, so there is no question of it being a hardware issue. I have an O2 XDA Stellar (aka HTC Kaiser, MDA Vario III, TyTn II, etc.....) and am experiencing strange behaviour whereby Wherigo Player does not report any GPS reception at all despite the fact that it has successfully turned the internal GPSr on (indicated by a flashing amber light on the device), however, there is an exception. If i use another program first which uses the GPS (e.g. Google Maps) and then run Wherigo Player I do get some reception although even then it seems intermittent, flicking from no signal to 3 bars on the Wherigo Signal meter. I can reproduce the problem endlessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Elcaro.
