Has anyone using Ace? How is the nuvi? Am thinking of replacing my c7.

Good and smooth

I dobt have the csl but i m guessing it will not run in landscape mode because there r no 800x480 folders. Papago also doesnt run in landscape on my samsung galaxy sl. Maybe there is a way to "trick" it (like for the samsung tab) but u need to do a google search. My gut feel is that it is not possible

I am still charging my Qstarz BT-1000.
The green led should light up during charging but didn't.
Hope this is not a sign of device malfunction.

I have found two software close to your mentioning in Market:
1. Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android and
2. Bluetooth GPS Provided by mobile-j.de.

Hope you don't mind telling us which is the one you are recommending.

The one i m using is by googoo android. There's also another one called Bluetooth GPS Provider but it didnt work for me. make sure to enable Mock GPS Provider in yr phone settings and in the app

Brother ultrafire88,

Have replaced the dead BL-4C battery which is costly as it is an old model.
Have downloaded and want to try both applications once new battery is fully charged.

Run instructions for both applications are quite vague especially on "GPS" (ON/OFF).
Do we need to activate "GPS" with the PDA (SGS) when running both applications?
Since Papago X5 is running with off-line maps, therefore, unlike Google, it is not necessary to activate Wi-Fi on the PDA (SGS).

Appreciate you can confirm above.

Alright, have completed the testing of SGS pairing with a stand alone GPS receiver.
The result is very encouraging and test report is as in below.

Hardware used:
1. Samsung Galaxy S
2.Paring with Qstarz BT-Q1000 GPS Travel Recorder

Software installed on on SGS are:
1. Papago X5 with MFM-PPG-110301C
2. Bluetooth GPS Provider by Mobil-j.de
3. Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android
4. GPS Status
5. GPS Tool

Testing procedure (all above software installed):
1. Pairing Qstarz BT-Q1000 with SGS
a. power on Qstarz (to NAV position) and wait until satellite lock is completed
b. goto SGS setting
c. check Bluetooh and run "scan device" (should see iBT-GPS)
d. if required, enter passkey (0000) for pairing

2. Start either "Bluetooth GPS" or "Bluetooth GPS Provider"

3. check the program invoked is running in the background
a. goto SGS setting
b. click applications
c. click "running services", ensure the invoked program is active

4. run Papago
a. It should come up without "?" at top-right corner.
b. You should be able to hear the sweet usual turn-by-turn annoucement.
c. Start testing your routing, etc....

It is no need to activate the GPS function of your SGS while your performing above.

I have performed tests with both GPS Status and GPS Tools right after Papagpo test.
Both GPS Status and GPS Tool were not functioning as expected.
That is, there was no satellite detail display at all.
Seems both programs were not able to detect any satellites.
Not sure if it is related to SGS GPS function was not invoked.

Now, I can happily declare the new lease of life of the Qstarz BT-Q1000 and more importantly, Papago X5 is no more just sitting in the SGS (for map retrieving purpose only).

Cheers,
JC

Hi bro JC,

Sorry i missed yr earlier post but glad to c that u managed to get it working after all.

yes, u DONT need to switch on the phone gps since u r relying on the bluetooth gps. This way, yr phone battery will not be depleted. Also dont need wifi since maps r all offline.

U DO need to switch on the phone bluetooth function n pair with the bluetooth device. Also need to enable mock gps provider.

Finally, although gps test n gps status etc may not show the number of satellites (bec it is prob linked to the internal gps), u can tell if there is a proper fix bec the coordinates will appear.

I think u will find tt the external bluetooth gps is much faster to log on n is more accurate than the internal gps of the phone esp since samsung gps is notorious for its problems!

GPS status & GPS tool not function as expected,
possibility are NMEA port is not match,

so you need some gps "gateway" to switch com port to another virtual port.
then GPS status & tool can capture the virtual com port to recognize the NMEA data.

Hi ..there
Can papago be viewed on CSL Droidpad in landscape mode?

I dobt have the csl but i m guessing it will not run in landscape mode because there r no 800x480 folders. Papago also doesnt run in landscape on my samsung galaxy sl. Maybe there is a way to "trick" it (like for the samsung tab) but u need to do a google search. My gut feel is that it is not possible

the secret is in file PSU files at \Organic & \System folder.
1. but cannot modified without permission cause by EULA of copyright
2. & cannot explained here caused by rule no.6
