Connecting The Ipaq 4155, And Gps V


Jim W

Recommended Posts

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.

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......

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
