G'day
I have a HP PDA with a built in Garmin GPS and Tom Tom 6 and other stuff. I also have Natmap 2008 running in Oziexplorer on an SD card.
The unit has been running fine for 16 months and has now developed a gremlin whereby it loses GPS signal on occasions. There is no fixed loss time as it is random. I am a tad annoyed at having paid close on $700 for the gear and now it won't work properly. Have spoken with the supplier who was quick to point out that the warranty had expired but asked me to send it back so that 'he' can look at it. I am happy to do that but on a previous occasion I had this particular person do some work on my laptop and it died soon afterwards.
I have a feeling that there may be a gremlin in the NMEA link between the GPS and Ozi.
Does anyone have ideas if there is a fix for this or where one could go looking on the net?
Cheers
