Hi JAL, brilliant little program. Has finally allowed me to get TT6 running on my new Samsung Omnia i900.

I am running version 1.31, but have noticed an anomoly (or at least I think it is an anomoly).

If I enter the settings, click autostart and turn it on, then turn it off, then hit exit, all is good. Next time I start the program it flashes up momentarily and turns itself on with the correct settings then dissapears off the screen again.

If however, I then open it again, turn off the auto start feature and exit, all other settings are lost next time I reopen. So I guess what I am asking, is it supposed to only save the settings if the autostart option is ticked?

By the way, did I say brilliant little program?? :)

Cheers, Dave.

Am I the only one on the Earth that need working Garmin MobileXT on TravelPilot Lucca 3.4 PNA device.

I search each thread on the Internet to find out how to make GPS signal working.

I have Garmin MobileXT for WinCE 50020w + Port Spliter v1.31

My Garmin.mscr script is:

##############################################
Errorlevel("warn")

If(WndExists("Garmin Mobile XT"))
Show("Garmin Mobile XT")
Exit
EndIf

#Hide Taskbar
Run(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"TaskbarHide.exe")

#Run Port Splitter if not exists
If(not ProcExists("Port Splitter.exe"))
Run(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"Port Splitter.exe")
Sleep(500)
EndIf

#Copy previous stored settings to \Garmin
XCopy(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"Settings\*.*", "\Garmin", TRUE)

#Run Garmin Mobile XT.
#This script will not go to the next command before que.exe completely shut down
RunWait(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"..\Apps\WM\que.exe")

#Save new settings back to SD Card
XCopy("\Garmin\*.*", SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"Settings", TRUE)

#Stop Port Splitter before killing it
#If the port splitting are not stopped before killing the process,
#it will not work again even you run Port Splitter again without soft reset
If(WndExists("Port Splitter V1.31"))
#Stop button
SendCommand("Port Splitter V1.31", 1010)
Sleep(500)
#Exit button
SendCommand("Port Splitter V1.31", 2)
Sleep(500)
EndIf

#Kill Port Splitter process
If(ProcExists("Port Splitter.exe"))
Kill("Port Splitter.exe")
EndIf

#Show Taskbar
Run(SystemPath("ScriptPath")\"TaskbarShow.exe")
#################################################

I delete from the script -- part that starts Port Spliter, so I manually start Port Splitter before running script.


My Port Spliter settings are:

COM Port: 7 (that is Lucca 3.4 valid port)
Baud rate: 57600
Output: COM 0 (I tried all output ports but unsuccessfully)


Does anyone have a working solution for Garmin MobileXT on TravelPilot Lucca 3.4 ???


I'm frustrated :S


Thanks in advance ;)

Hello,
I'm sucessfully using port splitter to make GarminXT work on my Mio, it starts automatically and hides (with settings in the settings file) and garmin sees it fine.

The problem is when I exit Garmin - I want to "kill" COM0 that port splitter created. 2 questions: :-)

1) Does it matter for other programs if COM0: is still there? (i.e. device is slower, etc)

2) if 1) is yes :-) then, how to disable it? I tried simple kill from mscr, but then I'm unable to connect to Garmin again

Thanx and regards,
Dalibor

as soon you not needs more the com0, I advise you to press "STOP Splitter" button in order to save cpu cycles (ie, battery life)

If you kills (by brute force) portsplitter with the com0 allocated in memory then you lost this port until next softreset.

Yes, that's exactly what happens when I kill it :-) Thanx for your reply.

I was wondering whether there is an AUTOMATED solution that I could use from script to "stop splitter"?

Thanks Yosip. I am planning on getting Garmin XT, so it's encourging to hear that it works. However, I'm trying to use a program called WhereIGo. The forums for that software say I need GPSgate or Port Splitter. The former worked, but the free license expired. I'd like to try Port Splitter before I commit to buying the other.

Apologies for not reading all 21 pages of posts.

I have a Samsung Omnia running Windows Mobile 6.1. I have installed Port Splitter to allow the WhereIGo application to 'see' the GPS.

In the setting/external GPS - GPS program port is (none), GPS hardware port is COM9 and Accs is manage GPS automatically.

In Port Splitter - Input = VirtCOM Com9 and output is COM0 and COM2.

Unfortunately WhereIGo does not anything (auto ot configured). Most common error is "Error starting the gps. The GOS did not respond in a timely manner with any data." The other error relating to not being an NMEA device.

Any help appreciated.
