    greetings,

    my first post, so hello everybody...

    colin: to add maps to your garmin mobile pc you have to use mapsource to create an .img for mobile pc, its the same like you would upload an nüvi (do not forget that mobile pc has to be open, otherwise mapsource wont find any device)...

    Rillee: i have the same annoying problem, mobile pc takes about 3 minutes to start up, and even when i starts, it works like crap, i installed it on some other pcs and no problem there, so my guess is my graphic card, because the problemed pc is a slow carpc with integrated graphics, somewhere i have a pci radeon 9100 laying around, and ill try later that...

    regards...

    Awesome, thanks.

    After all this time, I finally got it all up and running. I didn't have the DVDs or instructions or anything so it took a while, but I wrote myself a nice set of instructions for when I install it on the actual CarPC instead of my desktop.

    Thanks

    day,

    finally i solved the problem with mobile pc running very slow... The problem was the Floppy drive in my CarPC, i dont have any diskette drive installed of course, but i forgot to turn it off in the bios, so windows thought that i have a floppy drive,...
    After i turned it off, mobile pc started to work like it should...

    I installed mobile pc on some other pcs and it looks like the problem lays in the program mobile pc - certainly i found a bug, because when i want to choose some other vehicle, the floppy drive starts to work, just bi itself...

    Rillee: i hope that i solved your problem too...

    regards...

    *** Problem with patch v.5.00.50 ***

    If anyone experienced problems after downloading updated version 5.00.50 of Garmin Mobile PC, please be advised that Garmin posted a fixed version of the file yesterday afternoon.

    Symptoms: No map is displayed after the upgrade. You see only a black (or white) space instead of map.

    Good news

    All previous versions of Garmin Mobile PC were unable to use virtual com port created by Franson GPS Gate. The current version of GMPC 5.00.50 is able to work with GPS Gate

    Bad new

    The current Garmin Mobile PC version 5.00.50 has the intersection search feature broken. Hopefully Garmin will fix this soon.

    I just use the Xport application posted elsewhere on the forums.

    Oddly enough GMPC won't work directly with the serial port created by the USB driver for my GPS device but works perfectly with the virtual port created by Xport.

    Then let me take a wild guess: You must be using a Garmin USB GPS receiver(?).

    Nope, a Wintec G-Rays I (WBT300).
