as i see, guys you are in to it.im a noob running tkc rom on a 5600 and i have a problem with a cf gps.A bc-307.All the instructions i found on qpegps are for 5500 and i couldnt make it work.anyone can help?
thanks and sorry for the out off topic.
mpak - there are some at this site that use qpegps extensively; I mainly use zRoadMap. However, here are some of the problems that you may be encountering (I\'m using v0_9_1):
First, look for your device in the compatibility list:
http://qpegps.sourceforge.net/gps_units.html1) Did you get gpsd to work correctly?
Since I don\'t normally have gpsd running, everytime I start the application, I get an error message. The message indicates that if I hit \'Retry\', then it will attempt to start the gpsd service. It always does this successfully for me.
2) Did you change the \'Args:\' from the default device (serial) to compact flash? It should be changed as follows:
\'-p /dev/ttyS0 -s 4800\' to \'-p /dev/ttyS3 -s 4800\'
That will make it work with a CF GPS device rather than the expected serial.
3) Is your GPS card obtaining a satellite?
My card (Haicom MMF) indicates that it has obtained a satellite by the red LED flashing on and off. If this does not occur, then qpegps will show \'???\' next to the \'GPS:\', indicating that it\'s not able to obtain a GPS signal. Hope that helps!
Also, look at the Documentation section of the SourceForge page, which has quite a bit of card recognition troubleshooting information:
http://qpegps.sourceforge.net/docu.htmlLet me know if that helps-- if not, I may not be the right guy as I haven\'t used the app much more than explained here!
