Guys,
Ministumbler doesn't seem to recognise my Fortuna GPSmart Bluetooth GPS receiver. I've verified that the device works by running GPS software (SmartMap) on my PocketPC and connecting to the GPS device using Bluetooth.
SmartMap has a built in test utility so I know the devices are communicating using NMEA0183 with serial parameters COM5,57600,8,N,2.
I have configured Ministumbler to use these same serial parameters, as I know they work for SmartMap. I have also tried slowing down the speed to 19200 with no success.
When I launch Ministumbler it launches the Bluetooth browser, allowing me to select the GPSmart GPS receiver, but then I get "Config Error" in the status bar and no GPS data is captured.
Here's the kit and software versions I'm using:
Ministumbler Version: 0.4.0 Build 554
PDA: iPAQ3970
OS: PocketPC Version 4.20.1081 (Build 13100), aka Windows Mobile 2003
WLAN Card: Buffalo WLI-PCM-L11GP
WLAN Driver: Agere drivers for WinCE4 (Found in win_ce_driver_sr02-2.3.zip)
GPS: Fortuna GPSmart BT
GPS Protocol: NMEA 0183
Hope someone can help.
