GPS doesn't work

Post by evilknivel »

Some month ago I used the version 5.xx and my GPS Receiver Navilock NL-302U worked fine.
But Now I installed version 7.1 and it doesn't work anymore.
Even if I install the old 5.71 version it doesn't work.
I installed all Drivers in the newest Version and set the right COM Port.
The Testing-Tool GPS-Information shows the Position without any Problems.
But Vistumbler only shows :
Seconds since GPS Update 1/60 2/60 and so on.

Please help me.

The only thing i can think of is something went wrong with the netcomm ocx... maybe try reinstalling that.

have you tried the latest beta version? (http://forum.techidiots.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=20). I improved the gps in that version. It include the old netcomm ocx version, but it also includes a CommMG version that doesn't need netcomm ocx. see if it works with commmg and we will know if its a problem with the netcomm ocx

If it is not turning off the gps then the program thinks the gps is working. Are you seeing any text that strarts with GPGGA between the "Seconds since GPS Update 1/60 2/60 " messages? (it will show it quick...but it should be visible if its not getting a location.)
