GPS on IPAQ Nav2 sleeve.. help?

Well.... success on most fronts after couple fo hours BUT main problem I'm having (5550 + hp gps nav system 2 sleeve) is getting the gps status to work / show even when using Memory Map software.....

The Nav system2 sleeve software came pre-installed on compact flash disk .... If this is either in or out of the sleeve I cannot get gps to work independently of the route mapping software...

I need to get Memory Map OS maps receiving gps signals... there was a separate download for the Navman sleeve for gps status check - so is there something I am missing here to get this to work with sleeve but without the hp route software??

Help?

Tried HP - bloomin useless....

Tried callback www.totalpda.co.uk and got freaked as the phone would not disconnect once I was back into their automated callback - as they phoned only they can disconnect!! Argh!

Tried the GoPilot people - they gave me Navman's sleeve download!!

Tried Memory-Map - useless...........

Argh!!!!!!!!!

I need to get me GPS sleeve up and working.... as a stand-alone NOT with roadmap!

ooerrmistyr does the GPS work with the INS software, is it when you are using the Memory Map software only it does not work???

Yes works with the INS stuff...... does not recognise gps other than with this .... I know the navman sleeve does work as gps without the road software......

Yup am here, hmm have you tried downloading the 3.1.6 serial driver?

nope.. where is it?!! Cannot find it on the www.travroute.com website as they are the makers... you are not talking Navman driver here are you?

actually yes - had done that...just checked.. that is the Navman driver. I have the HP Ipaq sleeve NOT the Navman one.....

the gps icon says sleeve not attached... also only logical choice I had in Memory Map section where you choose the gps set-up was Navman 3000 (sleeve).. ans Magellan and Garmin BUT not this one.... The HP Ipaq must be missing the driver / software otherwise it would get recognised as 'exisiting'??? OR it doesn't work as a gps other than with its own software?????!!!!
