newbie with questions...

okay, so I just bought this Navman 3450 to go with my iPAQ3765 and... nothing happens

I tried it with the SmartST Professional software that came with it, followed the quick reference etc, and I am able to look up streets in the soft, but I get no GPS

I tried it with my friends TomTom software, same problem, only here it asked for the name of an "unknown card"

so off goes TT on goes ST and I still have the same problem.

how do I know the GPS is trying to find the satelites? since I'm not sure it is - shouldn't there be a "search in progress" indicator?

next problem: to put maps on a CF card it says in the manual "put the iPAQ in the navman, then put it back in the sleeve" - ony problem is, when the navman is on the iPAQ, I can't get it in the ActiveSync sleeve

does anyone have a solution for either problem?

thx

It's been a while since I used the version of SmartST that comes with the 3450. Is it version 1.9?

Charlie,

yes, version 1.9

I'll need to check this one out. I'm sure there are no settings that can be changed for this as it automatically detects and uses the sleeve driver. Will look into it for you.

the sleeve seems to be working - I monitored it with GPS View and connected to 6-10 out of 12 satellites during this afternoons trip BUT SmartST won't connect to the GPS, even though in status window it says COM4 and the indicator is green... I'll try my friends TomTom software tomorrow, see if that wants to work with the sleeve...

[jaybee]

well it works with TT, so I'll get that package

That's good...You'll like TomTom anyway
