Yet another Ozi problem

Yea com port 4 which is the back bottom one
And your right when i set the GPS to NMEA out the LED flashes
but still get error message
when in control panel it tlls me the the USB_ seriel controller drivers are not installed.
But from memory we didnt have to do anything excpt plug and play with the converter.
Off to see the missus at Toodyay in a minute and will be going via the Julmar cons park tracks.
Up to much this weekend. I heard the tracks around Mt cook are worth a look

It's called 'Com Port Checker"

Ill check it out

Com port checker all it says is there is a sharing violation on com port 3 (ozi is set to com port 4)
and it cant find a GPS.

I installed a priner ith a set up disk could that be creating a sharing violation? thts all i can think of ive done

Davoe Try coms or config

Garmin Etrex

Hello Richard - what Pilbara Maps?...oh, hang on you mean these ones?

Pilbara 50K

Hope you find them useful.

Davoe - I set up an Etrex/Oziexplorer/USB-Serial cable the other day with no problems - so I have no experience in solving the specific issues you have as I had none. I just installed driver from disc supplied with cable which created a virtual serial port on the PC (called COMn). I tracked down the port number (com 7 in my case) via System - Device Manager (note: you have to plug in GPS and turn it for port to be created/visible in listing). I then set up OziExplorer ...Set the General COM Setting to match COM port number, in my case 7 and make sure the other settings match the GPS, for example:

Upload/download 9600

Garmin USB is NOT ticked

Use PVT is ticked - make sure the interface mode on your GPS is set to GARMIN

I did notcie that if I plugged GPS into different USB port that the assigned com port also changes....so keep that in mind.

Cheers

Given me a couple of things to muck around with. I suspect the problem les with the virtual com port and ozi path leading to it. I will muck around wih it a bit more otherwise i ill have to track down some help. Computers arnt my strong point

I think the problem lies a bit with te seriel to Usb with compatability. Often the GPS whn turned on will act as a mouse and play havoc

Davoe

I have the same E-trex and the mouse problem. make sure you do not have the GPS turned on when you plug the USB into the computer it should work then, or download the programs I gave links for above..
