GPS-progams hangs/lags - due to long USB-cables?
I use the Haicom 204II, that has functioned just ok for almost 2 years now. I'm not certain wheter it is the expansion cables (maybe over 5 meters total) that makes the GPS/Carputer program hang/lag (the GPS tracking stops for some time, music I play from Centrafuse starts to repeat itself again and again, almost like a broken scratched music CD, and when I press buttons in Centrafuse the functions delays - often for a long time) Have also teste only with the original cable on GPS-unit, and I also then sometimes get the problem.
Thinking of trying with an powered USB-hub where I connect the GPS-unit, to see if it solve the problem.
BUT, I also know about to people who have had problems with the this Haicom 204II GPS-unit. In the first case, the GPS unit just died and haven't functioned since.
In the second case the GPS unit had periodic dropouts, it looked like it didn't like when the car was turned alot either left or right. It was unusable most of the time, it did somtimes function when the car was driven straight ahead.
There is maybe a similar problem with my GPS-unit, which is an identical model.
Is any of MY problems familiar to anyone? Or what about the long USB-cables, or my idea about adding a powered USB-Hub?
