Default Haicom GPS and WinPilot

Hi Ray
In other words, open up WinPilot simulator and click on "Menu". Than click
on the "edit" box on the bottom of the page.Next click on any of the empty
boxes on the bottom of the same page. This box will appear; "button
function". Scroll down the arrow until you find "comm port".
Highlight it, check it as ok, and the previous empty box will appear as
"comm port". Make your needed changes. Regards. PeterK

I just received my HAiCOM HI-303III CF Card GPS and can not get
WinPilot, running on my iPAQ 3950, to recognize it. I installed
software on the iPAQ that shows me the gps is working and I can see my
position. I've used a Garmin 12xl with cable hookups in the past with
no problem. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out?


Thanks,
Ray


Ray,


The correct com port and baud rate needs to be set in WinPilot ADV.

That's what I thought Richard but I sure don't seem to be able to find
where in WinPilot to set the correct com port and baud rate. I'm
running the expansion sleeve and the gps is com port 6.

To set the com port, touch the "menu" button at the top, touch "more"
button until you see "com port" as one of the options, select the "6"
radio button under "Com", touch the "OK" button at the the top. Most
GPS systems use 4,800 baud. If you don't see a "com port" option on
any of the menu pages, you'll need to edit a page and select it as a
menu item.

That should get you going.
