Centrafuse hibernation with IGuidance3 and BU-353

accordvsick · 05-27-2008, 08:20 PM

Here is my setup:

epia M1000
Centrafuse 1.47
Iguidance Plug in
Iguidance3
USB GPS BU-353
Xport application to split the com ports

When using hibernation I will lose the GPS receiver probably every three times or so. By losing meaning I hit the GPS button and I see 0/12 satelites and no bars. I need to reset the computer and it works fine. But after hibernating 2-3 times I lose it again.

When I do not use hibernation it works everytime. I prefer hibernation because of the speed.

Anyone encounter this issue?

Try using xport...
EDIT: woop i missed that you were already using it... i use a bu-353 and have no issues, although it may be iguidance or the iguidance plugin causing issue? You would need to ask plugin developer, or if using as an external app, not sure what else can be done... Caould be a Windows USB issue as well, try disabling power management for your usb root hubs in device manager...

I am having the same problem every time. After resume from hibernation it shows my location as being where I was when I went into hibernation. If I close CF and restart it works again. I am using a pharos GPS receiver and desitnator.

Are you using COM1? try setting nav engine to NONE in cf settings...

what i did for this problem is not pretty but it works. If you can find a way for seamless integration i would be thankful.

1) Download Devcon from microsfot here

2) Place it in the C drive

3) create a batch file to run devcon using the restart command. You can find the PID and VID of your b353 in device manager.

4) in order for it to restart the GPS, there has to be no current use of it. Meaning that you first have to exit i guidance. then run the batch file. then restart iguidance. Works every time.

I have two centrafuse buttons side by side. One is for NAV and the other is for the batchfile that i named GPSfix. When i start my car i have to exit Iguidance, touch gpsfix, then touch NAV.

You can use vb script to hide the command prompt window. but i have not yet found a way to press one button, have it terminate iguidance, run the batch file, and restart iguidance with embedding it in the centrafuse window.

But i do get a GPS fix every time

If you have any suggestion please let me know

Using com 3. When I set nav to none instead of destinator it won't even bring up nav module. It says it's been disabled. I'd use devcon as a last resort, there is acutally a FAQ I think for having it run automatically at hibernate... ( I think)

Do you have the Faq deeznudts?

It is kind of strage for me. If I do a full reboot it works, then if I hibernate from it working......it will work a few times. Maybe after hibernation #6 or so it will stop. Just stay at the last working location until I reboot.

I tried both Sirf III and nmea....any more ideas appreciated.
