Hi everyone!

I have a problem with PC Navigator 12: It doesn't recognize my inegrated gps module (SONY GPS Module CXD5400).

Is that normal?

Doesn't PC Navigator work with integrated GPS module?

Is there a way to fix this?

Thank's for your help.

if you know port and baud rate, you can manually edit settings.xml file, section GPSTMC

Thanks for your help Tomas.

But, how can I find these parameters?

My GPS module is not listed in My Computer/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/Ports (COM & LPT). It's in Captor section.

And where is the section GPSTMC?

Thank's in advance.

you could try some other program, e.g. GPSinfo
or ask manufacturer of your PC
alternatively, just keep trying one port after another

schlew

it's seems that no port is available.

I have to port it virtually but for the moment I didn't found nothing for integrated GPS module (I found for usb, Bluetooth but nothing for integrated).

I someone know a good software for this.

Thank's

tomas

but integrated modules run usually over com port
what PC do you have?

My Pc is a Sony VAIO Duo 11

tomas

have a look at this, it may be that you need to install driver

Thanks Tomas but.... it does nothing..... I really don't know what to do.

I have installed all sony's utilities for my laptop but no port com installed.

My GPS is on because when I use a GPS metro app, it gives me the good position.

Hi!

I have finally reach to make my internal gps to work but (there is allways a but) it's when i'm using "Sensor api" and not "port com". The program that I use for this was Turbo GPS.

Is there a was to use "sensor api" instead of "port com" for PC Navigator 12?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Hi, schlew.
I am also interested in the answer, because I'm waiting for the same computer and I would like to use it with MapFactor.

:-?

tomas

at this moment we do not support api in w8, but hopefully soon

schlew

Thanks Tomas.

Hope a quick update for that!

PaoloR, you have your answer.

See you

Schlew

PaoloR

Thanks.
We are waiting ...

PaoloR

There are some news?

tomas

no news, it may take some time, we may need new development tools from Microsoft

In Italy we say "campa cavallo, chè l'erba cresce" (live horse, the grass grows)

Hi.
This utility can help you?

Hi,

I don't think... This program transform the com port in sensor api. To do the reverse, creating a COM port requires a kernel driver, so it's highly unlikely that GPSDirect will ever do that (aXe answer's from turboirc forum).

Try Centrafuse Localizer:

Hi,

I've the same schlew's problem,using a Samsung ativ xe500 t1c (hybrid laptop with Windows 8 32 bit).

Pc navigator 12 can't find any gps unit,integrated,thought it is present and works fine with gmaps by dreamteam mobile.

I think it is a broadcom gnss geolocation sensor,which driver is correctly installed.

No com ports on pc.

Is it possible to use this unit with pc navigator or not?

Thank you.

PaoloR

MapFactor support says it should be imminent the release of the new version, which uses the Windows API and not COM ports.
