HI,
I have finally ( omg ) got my car pc up and running.
I know a car pc is by its own definition, a dinosaur already, but it works for me :-)
I am running win 10 on a thinkpad 10 tablet.
Using Centrafuse ( yep- somebody still uses it )
I have DAB radio using a DVBt usb receiver, and remote control using an old EHome receiver
getting signals from a cheap chinese wheel attached remote.
You can probably tell, its not worth spending too much on this :-)
I have Navigator 19 embedded into the navigation screen.
It recognises the inbuilt GPS receiver in the thinkpad ( internal 4572 gps receiver)
Sometimes, it sees satellites, and works, but when I power up at the start of the day, it sometimes doesn't find a fix at all all day??
I have the correct drivers for the internal GPS, but don't understand why it would be so flakey/
The thinkpad has plenty of power supply, so I dont' think it is power related.
One thing I find funny with the config is that when i go to settings, I sometimes have to re-enter basic things like ''tick the box GPS'', and also the box that says ''start the gps receiver when navigator starts'' has to be re ticked again?
I assume that when I make these changes, the program ''remember''s them?- I cannot see a ''save'' button
I have read some of the other threads where they say problems with interfacing internal Broadcom gps receivers with navigator, but the difference is , with my system, it sometimes works fine??
Any Ideas?
My other question is why I get ''warning host directionsltd.uk can not connect'' everytime I boot up.
I am not surprised it cannot connect, as my system has NO internet connection atm.?
Lastly, can I buy the real time traffic addon for Navigator 19 free?
I was considering the option of the 200mb free data SIM using EE.
As I don't use the car tat often, I was hoping I might get away this this free amount every month for just traffic data.
To achieve this I would need to set up the Firewall to ONLY connect to ''wherever'' Navigator gets the data from?
I do not need ANY other internet connection, i only wish to use the 200 mb for traffic info.
Would anybody know the addresses I would need to let exclusively through the firewall to keep JUST traffic data flowing??
Blimey, I hope that s not too confusing.
Any help would be great
Many THanks
Pootler
