+TerraTrekkers Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 As the subject line says I'm using an e755 running Mapopolis hooked up to an etrex using a Supplynet cable. It works fine with the yellow etrex but the Legend and the Vista I tried it with will only work for a minute or two before it stops getting input from the GPSr. All GPSr's are set to NMEA in/out except the yellow etrex it is only NMEA out. Any ideas as to what’s going on? Quote Link to comment
+TerraTrekkers Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 As usual I'll struggle with a problem for a couple of days and when I seem to be against a wall I'll post the question on a forum. Then I'll figure it out. Such seems to be the case this time. I needed to turn active sync off. What was throwing me was the fact that it worked with the yellow etrex and not the others. My guess is because the yellow etrex only has NMEA out and the others have NMEA out/in. Quote Link to comment
+Bozz Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Glad you figured it out, because I had NO IDEA! Bozz Quote Link to comment
+TerraTrekkers Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 As it turns out that didn't solve the problem so once again, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
+Bozz Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 What about the baud rate it is communicating at? I think my Legend defaults to a mere 4800. Not sure if matching it with the Toshiba device would help or not. Bozz Quote Link to comment
+TerraTrekkers Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 The baud rates match and the com ports match. the two units actually work together for a few minutes and then quit. Only the yellow eTrex keeps working as it should. Quote Link to comment
Pc-Mobile Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Do you still have the yellow eTrex? I cannot think of any reason why it works with a yellow eTrex and not with a Legend, with same hardware/software cofigurations. Quote Link to comment
+Team Four Paw Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 You haven't mentioned the firmware version on Legend? Have tried updating to the latest firmware availble for the legend? You're more than welcome to test with my Legend or my 755. I'll be at the next UsMorrows event cache on the 13th. Quote Link to comment
