baud rate at 4800 ..
under the gpsproxy log files ..it sez ; NMEA input gps PORT ERROR/ ERROR uart ERROR:FRAMING

so maybe my problems is still the ports ... the wiki advocated ports doesnt seem to be working for me ...strange

Keep trying my fren...definitely port error..dun follow wiki (Generic) follow the settiing given...if its works on tester & mine..Should not be a problem wth u....Normal for 1st timer setting up Garmin Que...BTW I almost gave up when I started on my HP6515 last yr... It took me almost 4 tries not 1 ay but 2 weeks!! b4 get it running smooth....On P535 setup took me a breeze 1 hr...!

Haiyoh ....
finally got garmin que to see the satelittes ... "acquiring satelites " . ...sheeeesh .
i think i solved the problem .. shouldn't have checked/ticked that "mirror input to output port in gpsproxy" ... when u have onli one output port added ....
Hmmmm ... need to go out for a drive to really really confirm that this thing is working .... supper anyone ?

Thanks Stimix for the help .

@ klmc

hmm.....good to hear that you could get it to work.....if not.....you might want to look here. this is the config i am using:-

posted it in malsingmaps forum....

@ stimix

hey....you still have the gpsproxy shutdown issue as you mentioned in malsingmaps forum above?

Once in a while...I think it is due to my itchy hand tweaking the registry to make the PDA run faster than normal...FYI..I managed to tweaked until it took me only 6S to start-up Garmin after GPS proxy, which I think u all getting about 20S!!

The problem only happened when I used Mapking and then swithed to Gps Proxy/Garmin...Once Garmin startup, proxy automatically shut down!! & I hv to soft reset b4 I can run it again...Well this only happened once in a while...but small price to pay for faster processing...

yay ... finally got it to work over the weekend .... now just have to get used to the interface .. finding places in garmin sure is odd ... or maybe i'm just used to mapking ... so used to the 3d mapping of the mapking -its a bit hard to get into garmin ....

my problem was the gpsproxy 2.2a ... MUST patch the baudrate correction files in order to rectify the "GPS Port Error: UART Error: Framing" problems ... all the other settings as recommended work fine for the asus p535.

Haha , perfectly happy with the asus, ... will be delirious if somehow theres a secret flap to uncover a hidden infrared port ...

@klmc
he he he....i was searching for the infrared too at first but then realised later the p535 dun have it .........

anyway.....i know there is the 3d version of garmin.....some people actually manage to get it working with the other mapping softwares installed.....just haven't got the time to experiment with it yet.....

@stimix.....
but i do get about 6s or less sometimes when I opened my garmin.....and I did not tweak the registry....not all the time though.....

after a few years of playing with pda, my formula for fast loading is this:-
- install the important software first so that they are installed on the earlier blocks of memory/flash. I installed garmin and gpsproxy right after installed some important today plugins
- I installed garmin and gpsproxy on the device, not storage card
- no unnecessary program running in the background
- i switched the processor to Turbo. sometimes when I leave it at Auto also will give the same results.

mind sharing what registry changes you made?

hehh, some review sites says it has thats why, ... probably pre - release information ....

Haha probably shiok sendiri... U might be correct bcos Today my Garmin stratup reduced to 20S!! ...A day b4 itchy hand go & install wififorum but failed & after uninstalled, Garmin startup becoming slow!!

Ok the tweak is here...but do it at ur own risk..as what experienced my me...

Performance tweak

BTW any idea when ASUS going to give the FOC WM6?...HTC oledi announced Today..so hope as promised by ASUS in this link,

Hopefully they will do the same by 2molo...

they said july can get free upgrade to WM6. i am waititng also

hmm....i am still in the wait and see status.....

want to see people feedback on the new rom before flashing it myself....

aslo, somehow I heard from a guy in fresh gear say that if you create problem during rom flashing....it will void your warranty?

hey - aren't u supposed to take it back to the place u bought it from to get it flashed ? So that warranty won't void if u screw it up doing it yourself ?

Guys,

The car tint i had installed is blocking the GPS signals so now i cant get any signal within the car.

Any work around this? maybe e.g. re-radiating unit or external antenna?

Pls pls pls tell me there's a workaround...if not...sigh.

Are u using vcool? If yes u need an ext ant...try PC Mobile.There is no other work around unless u want to switch from Vcool to other not so heavily metalised tinted film...

BTW, just abit question..I try hard reset the unit Yesterday by pressing the Power & soft reste key simultaneously..but it failed ...Check the quick guide but could not find anything about Hard reset...(Or me overlook somewhere?)
Frustrated, I just restore my old SPBbackup & atlast...got back my 6S startup time on Garmin ..So actually how to hard reset ha?

BTW Vcool do have the lower Infra red penetration film too....can't remember which type..either type 70 or 75... So ppl who dun complain on the satelite receptions are the one using Vcool lower infra red rating of (<90%) & those who complain that Vcool blocked signals are those using 97% ant-infra red film...

I used Vcool 97% anti IR in my ex-car and damn leceh..everytime going thru Smart & Go pole u have to wind down window & point the tag to the pole...defeit the purpose of having smartag!

@ stimix : Sorry if i'm being unclear. The thing is i cant use GPS bcz cant get a fix in my car now since i tinted it, i think its called SafeTint or something lidat.

You mentioned that fixing an external antenna would increase satelite reception and accuracy, which is awesome...but what about actually receiving reception based on my situation, where i dont get a fix?

Wah safetint having maximum infrared block too Check whether the infra red block spec..if it is >94% chances of getting satelite fix is almost "nil" U really need an ext antenna. No work around procedure*. But b4 this why not u try standing outside the car & try to get fix. If can this mean it is confirm that u hv instaled the >94% Infra red film...which also confirm u got the genuine film also in that sense...

Check first,,probably system hang cannot be discounted...


* unless u cut a hole at the windscreen & place the GPSr close to this hole....No joke someone done this b4!!! & even if u call PLUS h/way they will advised u to cut the hole too (I called them b4! )
