Thread: Centrafuse Problems - GPS, Voice Recognition, Freezing

Hello,

I am having a couple of problems with Centrafuse that keep occuring. I've been using Centrafuse for over a year, and I'm willing to buy it soon, but I have too many problems with it to justify that yet.

1) GPS is intermittant.

This is the biggest problem. The GPS is unreliable for me. I'm using a Microsoft USB mouse (one that came with Streets & Trips a year or two ago). It works occasionally, and then part way through a route, the GPS feed seems to disappear. Rebooting doesn't seem to help, as at that point there is 0 0 satellites. Powering off, or unplugging the USB gps mouse, does not help either. I've done 10 reboots in a ra row before, and then all of a sudden it started working.

I even started using Xport 3 tand that doesnt seem to have helped.

What's going on?

2) Voice recognition has never worked for me. I installed athe SDK, voices, etc. I can train it with my USB microphone, and it seems to work in Windows just fine. In centrafuse, I can set a keyword. But then in the probgram, when I say it it doesnt pick up at all. It would be helpful if a little light came on the screen when it hears the keyword, to signify that it's been said.

Am I doing something wrong?

3) Every once in a while, the entire system will freeze up while I'm driving. I don't see any logs that signify problems on the system. How can I diagnose this?


Once these issues are resolved, I will be buying Centrafuse.

Thanks,

Kevin
