If you really have NO experience with GPS navigation at all, I'd suggest you to do some research before spending your money.

You can't just use any map (regardless of its quality or price, or lack of thereof). Navigation software use its own proprientary formats, so at very least maps need to be converted.

I really do have NO experience with GPS. But I am flying in 2 days, so I need to order now. Do you know if BC-337 is compatible with Zaurus?
About maps, you are saying that there are different maps for different programs?
-Also some maps can be converted so I should look for a decent map right now and see what programs are compatible with it.... Primarily if the roadmap program is compatible with it.
-I will look for such maps right now and post here.

Finding a working GPS device could be much easier than finding a mapping/navigation software and good quality maps. Unless TomTom would release their software/maps for Zaurus (and they probably never will), Personally, I use a bluetooth GPS receiver because it has it's own battery, no wires and doesn't stick out of my Z. But if you'd prefer to use a CF slot receiver, most (all?) of them would appear as serial devices, and would work as such.

Free roadmap software works, but it lacks many features. Also, finding free good quality maps might be very challenging (if not impossible). If you go with roadmap. take a look at editor cvs branch - it has nice labeling and some basic navigation support.

I see a very cheap GPS device:
[a href=\"http://www.gogocity.com/product_details.asp?dept_id=802&pf_id=C105TN202]http://www.gogocity.com/product_details.as...pf_id=C105TN202[/url]
Read forums here for GPS and found that many people use this card and for $50?  It would make my Z really usefull!
I have never had GPS but from what I understand it's very usefull when driving, it tell you where you are and how to get to a certain location. That is pretty much the only feature I need
I can buy any map and it should work with the Roadmap software right? I found a map of where I am going for $50... So I think it should be a decent map quallity.
Please correct me or give me advice since I have no idea about GPS.
Tell me if my intentions are possible.

Thank you for your time.

edit: I read on roadmap homepage that it works only in the US? Am I understanding this correctly? If I buy a map for European country, it won't work with it or are just some features missing?

Hello,
I have a c860 and want to have GPS on my Zaurus since I will be traveling to another country.
If I understand correctly, all I need is a GPS device and a map of the country, correct?

Please list GPS devices compatible with Zaurus C860 and working under pdaXrom beta1?


Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Beta4 - "overclocking/cpu Config" Fixed

« on: June 11, 2006, 05:39:51 pm »

OK I need more info about others machines (PXA255) todo a new version compatible with that... any can post the result of this comand on a PXA255 machine(SL-Cx00):

Code: [Select]

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies


With beta4 on SL-C860, the output is as follows:

Code: [Select]

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

Feel so stupid thinking FF7 was some kind of optimization

- Crash Bandicoot 2 - The Wrath of Cortex- Works very well, I think it would be playable once the FF7 is fixed. Because I actually almost finished a stage hehe

A misunderstanding of what I said I think. FF7 = Final fantasy 7.. a game , from you use of the word FF7 you seem to think its some sort of part of the PSX or emulator?

Also, crash bandicoot 2 works? I couldn't get it to load, it just froze my Zaurus. Did you do anything special to run it?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=130380\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Oh really? Hmm, I just loaded it into the same dir as the emu and it loaded just fine.
Make sure you created image correctly, that's usually the problem

I bet once the video problem is fixed Crash Bandicoot 2 Wrath of the Cortex will be very playabe game. I like the crash series games, they are graphical and fun

Just tested Road Rash (Regular) it almost works. The video is choppy because of the FF7 I think? I think it would be playable if the video was showing correctly. The speed increases ROCK! I love that you can set CPU of PSX Emulator that really helps out on some games  Regular RoadRash I think needs about 220mghz or less since it;'s not really graphic intensive as say Road Rash Jailbreak. Which is my favorite racing game of all time! Road Rash Jail Break is still stuck in the beginning where the letters appear before the game starts.

- Crash Bandicoot 2 - The Wrath of Cortex- Works very well, I think it would be playable once the FF7 is fixed. Because I actually almost finished a stage hehe
-Jet Moto 2- Still crashed with SDL thing when selecting rider.
-Tekken2- Has always been problamatic when fighting. The characters image blows up, head, body,etc.. Doesn't show correctly.
 
Awesome work! The improvement of the speed is amazing! I hope you get another release soon because I am going out of the country, it would be great if I could do a little gaming there

Really don't want this thread to die since it would mean so much to me and I think many others. Any progress, projects going on for this?
