Hello,

I have this weird problem : I installed D3 on my laptop and on my carputer.

When i plug de gps receiver in my laptop and start D3 : it finds the satelites, no problem. When i put the gps receiver in my carputer : the software is installed, the same way like on my laptop but with D3 : GPS not found :-(

Anybopdy ?

make sure D3 on the carputer is set to look for the GPS on the right COM port

What kind of operating system are you using? I had the same problem with
windows 98SE, upgraded to XP PRO and had no problem any more!

I was getting something similar, working intially and then 'gps not found'

Something was going crazy with my COM ports (bluetooth)
All of a sudden after unplugging the BT dongle & replugging, i get 4 more COM ports, after a while the GPS is on COM12!

I've not solved this, but will prob try a clean install soon.

if you have anyother gps software, delete it even beta or previous vice versa versions of destinator 3. Then reboot and it should work. I have the old 1.1.2 destinator installed and it worked fine but when i installed beta 1.1.3 it wouldnt detect so i deleted the Frontend folder in destinator apps and rebooted and it worked. The beta installs a frontend_prev folder . So delete any of one but not both.
