Thread: How to customise the iPaq 310

Mate i did follow your instructions to the T and still no luck with the GPS signal whats the difference between a soft resetting and full resetting as thats the only place icould have gone wrong

Sorry, I did forget something important. That's the problem with doing stuff from memory. I added a new Step 5.


5. Edit the file \ResidentFlash\IPAQ\OS\CONFIG\SYS.TXT and change 'igoautostart' from 1 to 0. This prevents the built-in nav locking the GPS receiver open. You can use Notepad to do this.

that should fix it.

you'll be wanting maps next. Search the threads here. I recommend starting with the excellent Hema Raster set, good value at $149. Lots of places have it eg http://www.gpsoz.com.au, ExploOZ etc.

Ok thanks robert tho i have done step 5 now and still no luck she still wont pick up the gps it works fin on the HP nav stuff to on ozi it wont find it was there any other steps ya missed as i know how things like that can slip ya mind like putting gearboxes back together LOL

Did you set Ozi to use COM7?
You have to reboot after changing sys.txt. Make sure you saved the change, open it after you've saved it and check:

;autostart igo
igoautostart=0

And you have to go direct into Ozi after reset, not into the streetnav first.

All is good now works fine with the topo map verry happy thanks to mick (cal415) my brother he had a play with it and ite working great now either have to find a riped copy of ozi CE or spend the $$$ and get it that way ....

No ripping of OziCE or trading of copyrighted commercial maps on this forum while I'm moderator.

OziCE is a mere $40 and it's worth much more, so register it legally. You then get upgrades for life and if that's not value I don't know what is.

www.oziexplorer.com and go to the Aussie section.

Same goes for the maps, they aren't much and put it this way, the map guys I know aren't driving new Range Rovers, so throw them the price of the maps and they'll be there in the future making new ones.
