My TOMTOM navigator on Qtek 9090 is extremely slow in searching street or displaying MAP.
I've previously used it on an IPAQ2210 and it works really well.
Anyone experienced the same ?
bye
Manuel
Yeah a friend of mine has bought a QTEK9090 with the Rom version 1.22.?? and he is expriencing the same problem.
Switching from navigator to map view takes about 2 minutes.
His configuration is: TT3 Nav program and GPS driver installed in RAM and the maps are on a SD card.
We've tried several different SD cards but no luck.
I think personnaly the SD card interface is the bottle neck but haven't tried putting the map in RAM too.
This would only work for maps which are small enough to fit in memory.
Regards

Same problem for me, even worse, I simply cannot install it despite the fact I used the last updates released by TomTom.
It's not even a SD card problem since I have an 512mb Sandisk ultraII
So I'm planning to turn to Mobile Navigon 4 where there is any pb with the 9090....
i dont think it comes from the SD card, i m using Mobile navigator|4 from Navigon, my maps are stored on my SD card and it works at a very acceptable speed.
I s a bit longer to boot the software that is much bigger than TT (About 9 Mo) but once it s loaded it works quite well.
Does anyone know of a GPS SD Card which has memory as well as the GPS....???
I have found a GPS SD Card - but it doesn't have any memory which is quite useless if your trying to run a SatNav solution...
Look forward to any suggestions....??

why not get a bluetooth gps and that keeps the sd free
tomtom 3 runs on them reasonably well with bluetooth
pm me if u want recomendations etc

The benefit of SD GPS - is that the PDA can become a "Lone Worker" tracking device....
With a bluetooth device, the user would have to walk with TWO devices instead of 1.......therefore a lot easier a solution for users ------
We are bound to see the demise of Bluetooth GPS as the SD slot gets more and more useage....
Any further comments are always welcome....

Whats better...?
SD - GPS VS Bluetooth GPS
Wich works better in terms of communication, fast connection and fast response to my indications..
If you can leave here the models you think are the best!
thanks!

I preffer BT, you can use it on any device (newer models have miniSD slot)
Hello! Bt GPS is better, you will need sd slot for memory card, maps are usually big. :lol:
personally i prefer bluetooth though globealsat do an sd gps with 512 of memory in it
It's a dream: an SDIO GPS with integrated slot where you can put a(n up to) 2GB MicroSD memory card.
http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdg810.htm
It's a dream because I read that it has drivers for Windows Mobile 2003 but I didn't find drivers for Windows Mobile 2005 to make it work on my HTC Universal.
I invite you to write to them that WE WANT drivers for Windows Mobile 2005!
Here is their email address: [email protected].
It sure looks great but unfortunately the SD slot for our Universal is located at the bottom.
Also, this device requires the slot to be SDIO capable but I doubt our Universal's slot is. I hope I am wrong though
News: Spected released drivers for WM2005!

I hope it too
Here is pic of Spectec mini GPS in Jasjar

I very interested in it too, but from picture it seems to still protrude pretty considerably. Fear I might snap it. Found some on ebay for around $150, so might get one and see how I fair.
sdg 810
it does not function on jarjar or qtek 9000
somebody has you it in driver for the jarjar
ummm?
didnt think it did either. mobileplanet even specifically states it does not work with HTC PDA's. but wondered/assumed from picture in the link it was operational and not just visual. well, so much for that. probably was a bad idea anyhow. probably should go with BT GPS, but I hate idea of having so many things to charge....BT mono headphones, BT stereo headphones, BT gps, BT keyboard, and the PPC....be nice to have "BT charging technology"....wouldnt that be something.
navicon?
dunno if you guys already read about (navicon), just found out about it on couple posts from early last year. i gonna look into this as gps solution. anyhow, just wanted to share.
Tested this product, but it doesn't work on every PDA with SDIO slot and WM5.0 I tried it with.
Installed the driver, but both the GPS and the card slot refuse to do anything.
The MicroSD (tried several) won't show in the file system, as it prompts for formatting after inserting in the iPAQ hx4700. When I press OK, nothing happens and the card won't show up in the Explorer as well.
The GPS shows up in the GPS list in TomTom Navigator 5 and 6, but when I select it, the program keeps looking for a fix, without success, even after 1 hour.
I tried lots and lots of SDIO devices, but none of them seem to work. It might be a faulty sample I received from Spectec, but until that isn't sure, I say: damn what a 'pain product'.
It may be al late respond, but it works on my hx4700 as a GPS, installed with WM 6.1, only the card reader doesn't. Fast fix and with clear sky 10 satelites. It even receives indoor if you are close enough through a window.
Tomtom 6 has difficulties, but miomap 3.2, IGO 2008 work just fine.
You have to install GPS tweak first, to find the com port. It's com 6, bautrate 38400.
Swaped the SDIO for the Bluetooth model
Spectec was surprizingly helpful when I contacted them about the lack of compatibility with models the GSP SDIO was supposed to be compatible with. They gave me the Bluetooth version which worked with my ipaq 1910 and am now testing with my HTC universal. Theorectically it would work with any BT PDA even without a SD slot.... that is if you could figure out someway to power the thing.
I don't even have a Universal and even I know that it is SDIO compliant... :S
And now???
So, I've got here my NEW Qtek 9000 ready to swich from WM5 to WM6.1 ROM.
Is there anybody can say Spectec SDG-10 is finally WORKING now? (seeing satellites and reading maps on the enbedded microSD)
Spectec-sdg 813
I have a SPECTEC SDG-813 which I have tried with my Wizard (Cingular 8125) and a laptop. I have found that it does not work well with either device. It aquires satellites runs for about 30 seconds then locks up. Which than requires a reboot and repairing with BT.
So it has been very frustrating and SPECTEC support has been very poor. Their inital response to my request for help advised me how to set the device up under BT. I had to resend the message and point out to them that the device is setup and aquiring satellites and then locking up.
I have been waiting to see if there will be any further advice.
I would like to know how to disable the internal GPS.
The reason is that I have found it to lose position fairly frequently whereas the TomTom Wireless GPS MkII I was using with my old Treo never once lost it's position.
So I intend to disable the internal GPS, and use my TomTom Wireless GPS MkII instead.
WinMo 6.1
Black&White v5.0
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 4.1.0.7
thanks in advance
Paul
I can only think of settings/GPS. Maybe setting GPS Program port to '(none)' instead of com4 might disable it? Also, I just had a look and when I load tomtom on the phone and go to 'configure' where I would select a GPS receiver to use, there's one which says Tom Tom Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Would that work for your wireless? I'm just guessing here.
Thanks Roman. I don't see any way of validating 100%, but I think what's happening is when my external (TomTom Wireless GPS MkII) is connected, the phone is getting it's position from that GPS rather than the internal one.
So in theory, problem solved.
In practise however (I used it yesterday), the phone isn't losing the GPS position like before, but it seems to have lost a load of accuracy.
I need to do more testing on this.
