Have other GPS apps that work fine.
When I install and go to setup GPS it gets stuck on auto search. In setup if I manually enter correct setting port=9 & baud=4800, click box and it freezes everything- have to hit reset button. Though the GPS led starts flashing.
If I put port=9 baud=4800 in sys.txt (see below example) iGO sticks on opening window "Starting" and freezes (sometimes whole PDA).
(Here's the clincher I discovered by a brainwave) But when I fire up other GPS app first, ie wake up the gps gizmo, hey presto, it will then fire up and run as normal - and well for hours.
I've fiddled with sys.txt extensively can't fix it so far
Have also check config.sys - seems OK.
Deleted iGO8save folder and started again a few times, going through all settings. Loaded a couple of versions on a couple of SD cards, reformatted etc.
Any ideas? For example, any way of waking gps via sys.txt or other means rather than starting other app first.
I rather like iGO so would like to get it to go.
Thanks
Mark
