I ended up adjusting the suspend time from 10 min. to 30 min.  If I'm driving, I can't necessarily check it within 10 minutes.

Another thing I find annoying is that if the z does suspend, when I turn it back on, the GPS stops functioning correctly.  qpeGPS doesn't seem to have this problem, but zroadmap loses its brain.  Even if I unload and restart it, the GPS CF card blinks its little blue light, so I know it's active, but the GPSconsole screen never shows any info and zroadmap fails to track me.  I have to kill GPSconsole and gpsd and restart them for it to work again.  What a pain.

Also, I can't seem to find flite for the z or perhaps I just don't know how it's installed.  Any help on this would be great.

I ve got the Ambicom cf gps.  It works fine in zroadmap.  It however needs a good fix before it will work.  Try using the antenna.
I did get it to work in the car with the external antenna once this weekend.  I can also get it to move with the map, but I can't seem to get it to tell me much about the trip.  Also, unlike qpeGPS, it doesn't keep the Z powered on so it suspends itself.  When I power up again, I can't get a fix with the GPS.

Ethereal, are you using zroadmap on the SL-6000?  I've tried using different versions and they all fail to run.  They install fine and start but I get "An error occurred when opening the" with an OK button.  That's it.  I hit OK and it closes.  The GPS Console, however, does open but can't do much with just that.

Any help would be appreciated.
Ok, I got zroadmap to work on the sl-6000.  After carefully rereading each post, I DL'ed the usidr.rdm and moved my maps to my SD card.  Also, I modified the zroadmap.desktop file to execute zroadmap.sh which calls su -c zroadmap root.  Together that made the thing run.  

Looks nice but still having rouble getting my gps receiver working.  I've got the AmbiCom GPS CF receiver which works great under qpegps but even when loading gpsd -p /dev/ttyS3 -s 4800 from the terminal, zroadmapGPS never seems to show anything.  Anyone else seen this and gotten it to work?

tz, I'd be very greatful if you could send me v1.05.  Apparently, v1.06 is out but needs to be ported.

Software / sync SL-6000L from wireless
« on: June 18, 2004, 02:20:31 pm »
I\'m sure this has been done but I can\'t seem to find details on it.  I want to sync my SL-6000L from the wireless without having to put it in the cradle.

Can anyone give me a tip?
