PathAway Support

Hi, Dont't worry too much about A-GPS. This is a technology "only" to speed up the time to first fix; after the receiver gets a fix then you can start working normally. GPS reveivers need to know where the sattelites are before being able to calculate the position; a device using SirfStarIII without...

Hello Scott,

I am not able to download map tiles from Google (ver 5.00.29). Internet connection is ok (for instance download from OpenStreetMap is working). It looks like Google changed something in the connection again.

Can you provide a fix, please?

Hello, Some time ago (aprox 1.5 years) I also had problems of loosing data with PathAway, at that time with version 4. There were mainly problems related with WM5. After upgrading to WM6 I got a much more stable platform. Anyway a backup is always a good practice, and I backup the PathAway databases...

Hello,

Sometimes I convert the KML files to GPX using the utility KML2GPX 1.2 by Derek Rosen (search in Google). Very easy to use in Windows XP and then PW5 imports the GPX files without any problem.

With this receiver M-1000, I had some trouble to use it with Tomtom software, and even some times it seemed to have some pauses tramitting data to Pathaway. After some googling, I found out a piece of software to handle some of device features, and it was interesting to find that the device can prov...

Hello Scott, When I used the receiver Holux GPSlim 236, based on a Sirf StarIII chipset, it used to have an internal setting for static navigation. With such setting enabled, the receiver could detect when I was stopped and therefore direction was "frozen". This was a convenient feature when I stopp...

Hello folks, I had recently the opportunity to sell my Holux GPSlim 236 and buy the more recent version Holux M-1000. It connects perfectly to my HTC TyTN with WM6 and it is driven by the device operating system, all I had to do in PathAway was to select the protocol Windows Mobile GPS in GPS config...

Hello Scott, let me give one idea, may be for version 5. Open and select a menu item is not very pratical if you are driving a bicyclette or other vehicle with strong vibration. Yes, I can setup 4 hard buttons on my HTC TyTN but most times they are not enough. I noticed that a short screen tap event...

Hello, I have sucessfully converted some bitmaps around 12 MB, in .png format, without any problem. However Map Manager is somewhat slow doing large conversions. If the application looses the focus in Windows, then it does not resume the progress info updating, but the program is still working. Norm...

Hi,

In my device HTC TyTN (WM6) I use the power button to resume from Pocket mode. It worked the same way when I had WM5 before.

You can find in Mi4x4 a complete Portugal cartography originally calibrated for OziExplorer, more than 600 mlitary maps! It is possible to convert the .gif + .cal files into a calibrated PathAway map using OziMapConverter , but I found the result is not so precise as I am used to, at least for the m...

Hello Oskong,

just read my coment of Jan 2th on http://pathaway.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1058. MapAway is a 3rd party utility that can download form Google maps and produce maps in .prc format, ready to copy to your device

The icon files come in the instalation package. Copy these 2 to your PathAway directory on the device.

Hello Scott, One idea is to use the temporary message window to display a text message for a warning or to confirm an action, in the same way you have it now to confirm a SMS sending after the comand "Send My Location". For instance, I have an hard button configured to toggle the Tracking status. It...

Hello Scott,

I like the possibility to edit tracks and routes and assign names to some specific points.

That could be even more useful if there is an option to enable the display of Text Labels in the map for such labeled points.

Greetings,
D.P.
