No such problems for me so far, except the hardware key assignment is a bit weird. :-) --Rohieb 17:57, 4 June 2011 (BST) |

| Photonav Classic | Win CE 5 | yes | serial | 0.10 (Rev 730) | COM2 / 4800. Not tested with older versions than mentioned, might work with older also. Installation requires some work: Too small screen resolution to show the ok button for the installation, no keyboard need to use script that presses enter or virtual keyboard. Install to memory card worked. GPS works after manually editing the config xml file to use COM2 port. (The virtual com port driver does not give any name to it by default, so it does not show up in configuration. Saving in the configuration screen caused gps not to work again, need to set it to COM2 manually after every config change. Able to download tiles when connected to windows xp with the sync tools. Also setting up pre-loaded tiles manually worked. |
