We are attempting to track this problem as a 3400 is our main testing machine and we find it annoying, to say the least. This appears to be a hardware problem unrelated to GPSy TM.

#Sextmy gpsy serial

The PowerBook 3400 also appears to have a bug where the external serial port becomes unresponsive.Once it initializes, set the Macintosh location and time using GPSy and the next initialization should happen within 5 minutes. Set the Macintosh Date/Time and Map control panels to as near your current location as possible and place the Tripmate in an area with a clear view of the sky. The DeLorme Tripmate can take an extremely long time to initialize (30+ minutes) if your current Macintosh PRAM location time time-zone and daylight savings time (DST) aren't set correctly.Always use fresh batteries when trying a new machine. On some units, low batteries can cause a voltage drop on the serial output, making it work erratically with different machines.

#Sextmy gpsy software

Have you checked to make sure your unit has fresh batteries and/or is properly plugged in? It's often difficult to verify that a Tripmate or Garmin TracPak has proper power to it, so please triple check before attributing it to a software failure.

#Sextmy gpsy simulator

Move your GPS so that it has a clear view of the sky and verify it has a positional fix - or switch it to simulator mode.

Does your GPS unit have a positional fix or is it in simulator mode (many GPS units especially Magellans will not send data without a positional fix).

Only use the GRMN/GRMN protocol for data transfers (route/waypoints/tracks). We strongly recommend using NMEA-0183 for all real-time communications as it provides more data to GPSy and is less CPU-intensive. The Garmin real-time protocol can be slow and unresponsive on some units.

On Garmin units, it is better to use the NMEA-0183 protocol than the GRMN/GRMN mode.

Make sure the serial speed is set to the same 4800 bps.

Is your GPS unit on and switched to NMEA-0183 output? On Garmin units, specify NMEA/NMEA (or NONE/NMEA or RTCM/NMEA) and select NMEA-0183 version 2.0 for best results (GPSy TM will work with any version of NMEA-0183, but 2.0 has the most info).

Is your USB serial port adapter or USB GPS unit registering as a serial device? Does it appear in the popup menu for serial devices in GPSy?.

Is your serial cable plugged in and switched to the proper port?.

Check to see if GPSy TM is seeing serial port activity in the GPS Data Monitor panel (command-6).

Serial Problems: GPSy TM isn't seeing any data from the GPSДЇirst of all, GPSy TM accesses the serial ports like any other communications application.

Can I use a DGPS beacon receiver with my GPS unit and GPSy at the same time?.

What is a Framing Error or Buffer Overrun?.

Can I unplug my GPS while my computer is on?.

Why does the Keyspan USB Adaptor occasionally 'jam' when downloading waypoints in the Garmin protocol?.

How do I connect a GPS to my USB-only iMac/iBook/G3/G4 USB Port?.

I can get my position using NMEA-0183, but the Garmin/Magellan/Eagle/etc.

Can I use my Palm Pilot serial adaptor as a generic GPS adaptor?.

I'm having serial problems, GPSy TM is reporting 'No Data'.
