Destinator 6 gps problem ( internal)

[fcombola]

Hi, i work everyday yesterday and today trying to make the destinator 6 work,
I use the duttýs feb.08 rom and radio i also try a lot, i am using now, the 1.58.21.23 NIKI

The problem is i can found the Gps port with destination configurations on COM4, 115200 , NMEA but WHEN I PUT IN THE SCREEN TO FIND THE GPS POSITIONS, I READ A MESSAGE " GPS ANTENNA NOT FOUND"

I only make it work emulating the gps position with FRASON GPSGATE .

I think the problem is the time or delay of antennas, what ca i do?

NOTE: AFTER A DESINSTALL THE FRASON GPS GATE I DO A HARD RESET.

Flavio,

I installed destinator 6.1 and I'm having the same problem. It finds the GPs and keep changing from " GPS Antenna found" and "GPS Antenna not found" in each 2 seconds.
Is it the same problem that you are having?

I'm using Confused Stu's Windows Vista 1.3 Cooked Rom with Radio Ver 1.65.14.06 and Destinator 6 works perfectly

I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700

Destinator 7 work fine (downloaded a trial version) but id doesn`t have the language that I need, so I rather use Destinator 6.

Tried several versions of this ROM (Cube, no Cube and lite) and in everyone the same thing happens: It keep changing from "GPS Antenna found" "GPS Antenna nof found" every 3 seconds.

I think I gonna try one WM6.0 ROM to see if it works. I'll try Sleuth 1.2 first, than Confused Stu's Windows Vista 1.3 Cooked Rom.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here and I would like to share my experience with the WM6.1 update and Destinator. I had been using an Asus n30 and for that to work I had to install Destinator 6.1.1 otherwise it would loose GPS etc. When I tried the same 6.1.1 update on my Kaiser (Vodafone version) with WM6.0 it worked basically but when I drove at higher speeds above 140-160 km/h (here in Germany this is quite a normal speed on the highway) the display would freeze and stop updating and I would no longer get voice instructions from Destinator.

So I had the crazy idea to update to WM6.1 to fix this...Big mistake...at first

Well as you have also found out it made things worse and I got the "GPS Antenna not Connected" issue. :confused:

I was able to solve my problem after a lot of tinkering with different radios and two ROM images one from Vodafone UK (3.28) and the last ROM posted from Dutty - which I am using now great stuff! both are WM6.1. What helped solve the problem was to revert back to Destinator 6.0 i.e. the original version from the CD-Rom that I had bought. After deleting the 6.1.1 version and installing 6.0 everything was fine no more "GPS antenna not connected" and no more freezes even when driving at over 200 km/h (130 Mph).

My guess is that the 6.1.1 update was optimized for slower devices like my n30 but the measures taken in that update that made slower PDAs work with WM3 SE were counter productive under a more modern OS like WM6.x

Even though this took me 3 days and a lot of head scratching to figure out I am very happy I did go through this process. Now thanks to this great community I have learned to flash Hard SPLs, change my ROMs as I please and as a result I have a much more powerful Kaiser :cool:. All of this despite what the lady at the Vodafone hotline told e "you can not use an update from the UK...or from HTC" ha ha :D.

I hope this may help some of the other users who have destinator 6 trouble.

Cheers

i have an htc 8900 series(its called the ATT tilt in the States, i think its called the Kaiser everywhere else) and i'm having problems with WM6 and desitnator 6. i installed it as instructed and when i try to open the program it seems like it tries to open it, but nothing happens and i get taken back to the today screen. i've even uninstalled the program and sent all the installation files from my ASUS 696 via bluetooth to my phone's card, but that didn't work either. Dest 6 works perfectly on the ASUS.
On my phone, GPS settings are Program port Com4, GPS hardware port (none), baud rate 4800. And the phone will not let me change the baud rate or the hardward port. It doesnt' save my changes. ANy help is appreciated.
Thanks
