Player does not work on Typhoon MyGuide (same as Mitac Mio 168)

[+Tricky 0]

I have an Typhoon MyGuide 3500 Mobile, it is the same Hardware like a Mitac Mio 168 and a Yakumo delta 300.

When I start the Player i'll get this message:

An error ocurred trying to start the GPS device. A port name must be specified in order to open a serial connection. Port names are typically three letters followed by a number, such as "COM7:".

But I can't change the Port on my device - there is no tool for it. And no, I don't have other programs running in the background using the GPS device. M$ .NET compact framework 2.0 is installed. I also tryed to use the GPS-Gate software to set up a virtual COM7. TomTom and VitoNavigator are working fine on this virtual port - but not a chance with Wherigo player! Why can't I select a COM port manually in the player software instead using auto detection only?

 

Groundspeak uses a picture of the Mio168 on the Wherigo webpage and says that the minimum requirement of free RAM is 128MB. But the Mio/Yakumo/Typhoon just has 64MB RAM. I don't understand that!

 

I`m giving up for now! Other people in the green german forum have the same problem too.

It seems that both, the Builder AND the Player are in alpha stadium!

Since the new version is installed I can setup my GPS manually and the Player works. Thanks for the new version and also thanks for all the replies to my posting.
