Problem making GPSSecure work with FreeDrive

**bry21317** · 07-07-2005, 03:09 PM

I have tried all that I can think of, and I am still unable to get GPSSecure to work with FreeDrive. It works fine for me with MapMonkey.

I have read the Documentation and set my settings in GPS Secure to use FreeDrive.

It tells me on my Laptop and in my Car system that it is Connected/Not Running in Red.

Here is the Information from my config.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Session xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" comPort="COM3" baudRate="4800" serverIP="67.182.214.7" port="5550" loggingID="xxxxxxxxxx" loggingPass="xxxxxxxxxx" logging="true" loggingFreqMin="0" loggingFreqSec="15" serverFreqMin="10" serverFreqSec="0" serverLog="true" SMTPLog="false" SMTPMin="5" loggingLive="true" liveRefreshRate="10" SMTPServer="" SMTPTo="" SMTPFrom="" Terra="true" MapQuest="false" connectGPS="false" connectMMonkey="false" connectFreeDrive="true" autoConnect="true" passwordPrompt="false" windowsStart="false" startMinimized="true" DUNEnabled="false" DUNName="" autoUpdate="false" skinNight="0" skinDay="0" MiniStatusBar="false" MiniDraggable="false" MiniX="0" MiniY="0" MiniOpacity="0" MiniSizeX="52" MiniSizeY="20" />

Here is the Changes that I have made to my FreeDrive SDK.ini file, so that you can see if this is the problem.

FDSPEED=RoadRunner,GPSSecure
FDSATS=RoadRunner
FDETA=RoadRunner
FDETR=RoadRunner
FDHEAD=GPSSecure
FDROAD=RoadRunner
FDLONG=GPSSecure
FDLAT=GPSSecure
FDALT=GPSSecure
FDTIME=
FDDATE=
FDEND=
FDDIST=RoadRunner
FDUNITS=GPSSecure
FDMAN=RoadRunner
FDNEXTMAN=RoadRunner
FDNEXTSTREET=RoadRunner
FDNEXTMANDIST=RoadRunner
FDMANFULL=RoadRunner
FDCAMS=

Hope that you can help me get this running.

Thanks,
Bryan

Oops, sorry I didn't see your thread. I'll have a try myself with the new version of FreeDrive and let you know. Thanks for the FYI.

Thanks man, No Problem. Just was trying to make it all work and ran into this problem. Let me know if there is anything else you need from me. I tried to give you exactly what I thought you might need.

Thanks for the great software,
Bryan

Did you ever get a chance to look at this?

Later,

Sorry, I've been on vacation. I'll check it out soon

Thats fine. Just was wondering if you had looked at it. Now I know.

Hey bry21317, sorry about the super long wait. I found the problem and fixed it in about 2 minutes

I guess CDR switched the commands FreeDrive sends out without me knowing. The 2 servers I was using to host GPSSecure are down right now so I'll PM you a differant address to get the updated version as soon as I hear back from CDR about one thing.

Alright this is fixed. There is one more thing you need to do to make sure it will work that I have added to the documentation page.
Also you will need to go to the skins folder of FreeDrive, go to the skin you a re using and open skin.ini. Then change headingindeg=1 to headingindeg=0.

I'll PM you the download link for the update.
