HELP : Beeline problems?
Hi all,
I have downloaded BeelineGPS onto the PDA (Pocket PC 2002) and started to work it out. However, when I approach a cache (or any marked waypoint), it seems to jump around and won't settle down. Any suggestions?
Also, does anyone have a recommended port splitter for PPC 2002 that I can install as a CAB file? I am using a mac, so can only deal (I think) with CAB files.
We are off overseas on Friday and I'd love to sort it out by then. Any help will be appreciated. We will definitely still be taking the real GPSr though as I understand how to operate that one!
Thanks

Re: HELP : Beeline problems?
Is that the compass mode of Beeline you are talking about as I have found that using the map mode when approaching a cache is stable and seeing the track trail helps keep me in line.nomad_penguin wrote:Hi all,

Well, I need help. I have downloaded the free 30 day version of BeeLineGPS for now and loaded it on the PDA but it gets to the stage of wanting to go back to the computer to find the GPS. What does this mean and do I have to have something else on the computer for it to read? Help needed.Any ideas??

Exactly what is the message you are getting, and what are you doing prior to getting the message?
You must have set up the GPS with the PDA. Is the GPS connected to the PDA when you see the error?
Beeline on my Windows Mobile 4 PDA will crash on startup if the GPS is not contactable. Try doing the same thing with the GPS turned on. I don't think it would need a clear satellite signal, so you could do it inside.
I think the jumping around will be more related to the GPS than the software. I assume that yo have zoomed into 3.7m resolution when you see this happen.
Do you know what chipset the GPS has? Popular ones are Nemrix and Sirf. But there are a number of others coming onto the market just now.

Re: Beeline
Um, no. I was looking on the panel screen (with the big arrow hopefully pointing to the cache). It's not only the arrow that bounces but the distance changes radically as well.roundcircle wrote:I think the jumping around will be more related to the GPS than the software.
