[pjcltd]

Hi to you all

I have just got my backpack and a BC-307 gps reciver
I have the backpack working fine but when i insert the CF GPS card
the xda displays a message saying
UNRECOGNIZED CARD
and my tomtom can not find the card any help ???


Thanks in advance

Does the GPS card come wit a software driver and have you installed it?

[pjcltd]

it only had a driver for the pc (that works ok )

on there website it says that you dont need a driver for the PDA you just plug it in

I use an Ambicom CF GPS with my XDAII+Backpack and it works fine. Make a full backup and try a hard-reset.

Tryed doing the hard reset bit

check if your backpack battery in your power setting comes on and off... and your backpack is losing connection.

if it is, like mine, go back to your store for a swap, i will be doing so tomorrw

oh well...

Have you loaded the gps test program that comes with that cf card, it should present itself to tomtom as cf generic.

I also am having the same problem with unrecognised card message

Have installed the GPS info software that came with it but this doesn't help, i've tried all the Com ports

I think it's a wm2003 problem and there's just no driver for wm2003 been released by GlobalSat yet

Anyone confirm this, or better still have a hacked driver which will work?

I have had to sell my GPS CF Card
as it will not work with the XDA II

I have had a long emial chat with GlobalSat and they
have not yet had a chace to try it witha a XDA II

hope this helps

Use pocketmechanic and rename SD "storage card" to "secure digital", make soft reset and try it another time.

I use a BC-307 with my Ipaq 2210 running pocket pc 2003 premium with no problems at all, i just tell Tom Tom its a generic card and it works perfectly,

I have also got a Fortuna GpsSmart (bluetooth one with a screen) and this works perfectly with my XDA II and my Ipaq 2210

Mosser,

You didn't need to load any drivers on at all?

Did the unregonised card message still pop up and you just ignored it?

Any further details would be helpful,

Cheers
