iGuidance with Delorme USB Receiver

muldrick · 11-20-2004, 05:10 PM

I searched, didn't find anything.
I've got the DeLorme SA (usb) receiver, works fine with DeLorme software.
I installed iGuidance 2.0 and can't get it to work. Can't get it to see my GPS receiver.
I uninstalled the Delorme crap and rebooted. I installed driver files from the Deluo website (Routis): http://www.deluo.com/support/faq/ind...&id=17&lang=en
Should they work? Routis is the same right?

Should I also install the USB to Serial adapter driver? If so, in what order do I do all this?
Has anyone done this? Could you tell how you got this to work?

yes. Delorme has an USB to Srial driver for the earthmate. I have the same thing, and got it to work. I'll search up the link for you. ok? hold on...

Yes you need the usb to serial adapter. Follow the instructions on the delorme page.

To Verify the Correct Installation

From the Start menu, point to Settings and then click Control Panel.
Double click the System option.
Click the Device Manager tab.
Click the plus sign next to Ports (COM & LPT).
Verify that the DeLorme Earthmate GPS COM device is listed

If the Device is not listed then click the plus sign next to Human Interface Devices.

If the device is listed as a USB Human Interface device, update the driver.

Make sure you do that. It is from the second link!

darn you beat me to it. good job. I had it too though.,

GruvThang · 11-20-2004, 05:36 PM

Yeah, it took me a couple of days to get it to work on my second laptop. The first one it worked just fine.

BoyNextDoor · 11-20-2004, 05:37 PM

you learn as you go here... didn't even know of the solution until i read it somwhere over here...

muldrick · 11-20-2004, 05:48 PM

Oops, deleted my thanks post, Man I must be tired or something.
Anywho: Thanks! I searched everywhere BUT Delorme, duh...
EDIT: Got the file. Thanks
Should I uninstall iQuidance first? Delorme is already uninstalled (guess I didn't need to do that) Load the "GPS Update and COM Port Emulation Drivers" and then reinstall iGuidance?

BoyNextDoor · 11-20-2004, 05:56 PM

you dont need to reinstall. just nstall the drivers, and in iguidance go to tools>gps>detect
easy as that. It'll recognise in no time.

muldrick · 11-20-2004, 06:38 PM

OK, thanks again.

Did you get it working?

masher · 11-21-2004, 03:23 AM

Ive done everything thats been said here to do and I still cant get my earthmate USB gps to work. I am using destinator. It works fine in street atlas but when I go to GPS in destinator it saysGPS not found if i search for it and if i put the info in by hand it says com port busy does anyone know of a way to fix this ive done the drivers reinstall about 500 times now and that hasnt worked. Any other advice?

muldrick · 11-21-2004, 05:11 PM

@Gruvthang, yeah man. Works great and I love it. I can now be among the ones that say SA sucks.
I was the one inquiring about the Lexus software (if anybody could get in the files) well, other that the amount of POI's, I found iGuidance similar. It is great. I still would like the Lexus 11 million POI's though.
Thanks for y'alls help.

@masher, it don't work 'cause you're staying up to freakin late

go through Gruvthang's # 4 post...

What are you showing under the "COM & LPT"?
Is it listing as: "DeLorme Earthmate GPS COM"?
