+Jim W Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I just received the iPAQ 38/39xx to Garmin GPS V Cable, and it works fine on the iPAQ 4155. I used a program called G7toCE on the iPAQ 4155 it translated the GPX files I have on the iPAQ to .wpt and uploaded just fine, the GPS V Interface has to be set to GARMIN for uploading, and downloading way-points. I don't have any Mapping Programs on the iPAQ as of yet, but I plan on getting National Geographic TOPO, and National Geographic Pocket PC TOPO soon, and then I'll try and get the GPS V to track on the iPAQ.

+Team BlackZ Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Mine won't work. I keep getting a comport 1 error. Not sure why? Jim, did you change any settings on your Ipaq? Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 No, I didn't make any changes to the iPAQ or the GPS V...What cable are you using, and what iPaq do you have?? Quote Link to comment
+Team BlackZ Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 i'm using garmin V hp ipaq 4155, and the cable came from here The error i get is comm error in asyncinit 1; port: com1:; error: 55- the specified network resource or device is no longer available. any ideas?? Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 (edited) Are you using G7toCE program to communicate bewteen the iPAQ, and GPS V?? If so here are the settings, open G7toCE and click on "File" then click "Configuration" make sure you're on the GPS tab. Edited February 14, 2004 by Jim W Quote Link to comment
+Team BlackZ Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Yes, I am using G7toCE and that is exactly how mine is set up. Maybe the cable is bad because it won't work on my wifes HP2215 either. Somebody else here also had the same error message i have. I'm lost right now on how to fix it. Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 (edited) Check your G7toCE file in Explorer, and make sure you have an .ini file Make sure you downloaded the right G7toCE(ARM) program readme.txt for G7ToCE Installation consists of creating directories on the target CE device and then copying the G7ToCE file to the CE device placing the .exe in the '\Windows\Start Menu' directory and setting up the defaults you desire: 1. Copy the file G7ToCE.exe to the "\Windows\Start Menu" directory ON THE CE DEVICE. 2. Create the directory "G7ToCE" under the "My Documents" folder and place the file 'g7windatums.txt' in the folder. 3. Run G7ToCE. An error message concering G7ToCE.ini will be displayed. 4. Select "File Confinguration" 5. Select the DMS tab 6. Select 'Save Configuration at Exit' and any other setup items you desire on the DMS page. 7. Select other tabs (GPS, Text, Icon) and set the startup parameters you desire 8. Select OK 9. Exit the program 10. Check the directory "My Documents\G7ToCE" to ensure the file G7ToCE.ini has been created. 11. Use the program...... Edited February 14, 2004 by Jim W Quote Link to comment
+Team BlackZ Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Yeah i did all that too. I give up Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Then it must be your cable, I would send it back, and get the same Cable I use, it was so easy just connect the cable and upload, and download with no problems Quote Link to comment
+Team BlackZ Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 That's probably what i'm going to do. The guy that wrote the program emailed me back today and said it could be a network conflict or a keyboard driver conflict. Jim, do you use a keyboard with your 4155? Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Team BlackZ, no I don't use a key board, and that may be your problem if you are using one, and it has drivers. Quote Link to comment
+Team BlackZ Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 It was the keyboard driver Jim. Uninstalled it and now G7toCE works great Thanks for all your help, and the screen shots you provided were great. Quote Link to comment
+Jim W Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 GREAT, I'm glad you got it working, I was running out of ideas Quote Link to comment
+Sidewinder_6 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 How do you get G7 to CE to translate and transfer GPX files from the ppc to the gps? I can get G7 to download from my legend and upload what comes off my legend but I just can't figure out how to get it to read and transfer GPX files! Thanks, in advance for any help!

+Jim W Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 (edited) 105mm Redleg, connect your PPC to the GPS, and turn them both on, open the progam G7toCE, and tap "File" at the bottom of the screen, then tap "Open" and select your GPX file, next tap "Wpt" at the bottom of the screen, and then tap "Upload Wpts to GPS"....That's it Jim W Edited February 18, 2004 by Jim W Quote Link to comment
+Sidewinder_6 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Thanks Jim. I had an earlier beta version of g7toce and it would communicate with my gps without a problem. What it wouldn't do was read and upload gpx files. I just downloaded and installed the latest beta version and it is working perfectly and doing what I want to do - transfer waypoints to my gps.
