S SteveBuckley Member Licensed User Jul 9, 2009 #1 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

agraham Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jul 9, 2009 #2 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!
