AMEO GPS Settings

[alanplum]

Hi,

I can get my AMEO working great with TOMTOM as it recognises the "Built In GPS" device, but other applications like Virtual Earth require a COM port.

Does anyone know how to get round this problem?

TIA

Try COM4, or changing the settings in the GPS option from the settings page.
Might not work with TomTom running, as TT has a habit of locking the GPS port.

yep,

COM4 it was. Thanks.

Shame we can't use the ameo as a normal phone. Big drawback as I don't want everyone hearing my calls

Im the same, i still went ahead and got an ameo tho. Been looking at this which looks like it will solve the problem of other people hearing your conversations

I could have given mine to you for half price! I don,t reccommend it to any one unless they have memorised their phone book.

or you could just get a caller ID bluetooth headset :) Anyway, maybe that is only me.

Got one already, and actually made my comment already in the linked thread. I prefer the Jabra ...8010 I even bought before the LG arrived :rolleyes:

Speaking of GPS issues...

Ive been trying to get Google Maps for PocketPC to work with the Ameo built in GPS, it wont.

I have GPSTuner, and if I turn off the windows thing that manages your GPS for you then GPSTuner connects and works on Com5 9600bps ok.
I close that, totally quit out of it and make sure its not using the com port.
I run Google maps, try to track via GPS and it says the GPS receiver is not responding!

I turn on the windows GPS manager, tell it the hardware is on Com5 at 9600 and the software port should be Com4.

Now GPSTuner crashes (I did set it to try com4 first). It locks up the phone and I have to reset.

Google Maps still doesnt find anything.

Help?

I can only confirm the GPS-Tuner thing. I've got the same problem. I didn't even try Google Maps.
