Pharos iGPS-SD for the SDIO and the XDA II: does it work?

---

Hello,
Did anybody try and succeeded to operate the Pharos iGPS-SD, tyats the SDIO GPS, on the XDA II, regardless of rom version?
DID anybody try and failed?

Please people, let me have input on this, as I did buy the unit but was not able to make it work on my XDA II.

Any constructive help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Works for me on my i-mate with the 1.52 ROM.

Jon,
Thanks!! now I have a lead, but, I still need your help.
Can you be more specific:
1. which drivres did you use? the ons supllied with the unit?
2. Do you use a bundle that came with the SDIO unit for maps?
3. Can you be more specific about Rom details? is it identical to any XDA II rom we know about?

Thanks again

Yuval

Jon,
Can you also please tell me which com port (serial port) is used by the SDIO unit?
None of the GPS programs I used was not able to identify it in any com.

Thanks
Yuval

I bought the package that came with the Golf software, as I already owned Ostia from another pharos product. I used the enclosed iGPS-SD driver disk, and then used Pharos Ostia from the previous product. It mapped itself to COM4, which became an issue with the I-Mate ROM 1.6x series, as it wanted to use COM4 for bluetooth, so I kept it at 1.52.

After installing the drivers, you should be able to select COM4 manually from Ostia. I found autodetection to not work properly.

Jon,
This is great help... Now I feel I am going somewhere...

Can I use the 1.52 rom on my XDAII? and if I can, where can I get it?

Thanks again

Yuval

ps - this means the driver assigns the SDIO to be com 4 ? and it must be free... ?
