GPS Problems

Hi,

I am very new at all this. I am trying to write a simple GPS application. I started using the demo example but when I get a connection the code line:
GPS1.GPSStream(Serial1.InputString)
causes an OutOfMemoryException error (continue Yes/No MsgBox).
I am using a XDA (O2) PDA phone. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Regards
Steve

I assume you are using the GPS and Serial2 libraries. As it's an XDA it is probably a rebadged HTC which isn't compatible with the .NET Serial Port class. Read the sorry tale here http://www.b4x.com/forum/questions-help-needed/972-gps-outofmemoryexception-since-wm6.html

If it is a WM5.0 or later device then you need to use the GPSDriver library instead.

Questions and Help would probably have been a better topic to post in but Erel can move the thread there if he wants too!

agraham,

Many thanks for your slightly curt but never the less extremely helpful response.
As I said "I am very new at all this". Anyway I have now made contact with my
GPS device.
