Altitute only shows after reboot - Primo 1.2

Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:45 pm

This one has me stumped.

On Primo 1 and 1.2 after unit 1st fires up (Tried on 2 different in dash 2 dins with 128mb) altitude shows as '0'.
If you reset using red off button in Primo and reopen altitude works.

Any ideas :pray:

ps: both units are 128mb

I don't normally have altitude displayed, but i tried with both my pda and pna together, The pda thinks it's 200ft higher than the pna

Both have 8.5.11.168090 Nov 17 2010
Both are connected to 8 satellites and have high accuracy
I don't know which one is right (or closest to)

Something to investigate over the weekend while it's raining...

With the winCe5 units alt is ok. I think the problem lies in winCe6 somewhere.
Further to the above post even though Alt comes up on a reboot it doesnt change its height setting in Primo or iGO8.
It was always accurate for me before.

Have you tried any other software?

Is there anything other than IGO :crazy:

No not on the win ce 6 units. Ive even had issues trying to get Garmin to even run.
What other ones show Alt?

Im still guessing there is a conflict on wince6 and the gps pcb? somewhere.

Apparently some people like to run a programme called "Tomtom", whatever that is :lol:

There are posts around here of users changing from Primo 1.1 to 1.2 and the GPS speed is erratic or the position jumps around when the device is stationary, so i guess that Primo doesn't like the way the GPS data is delivered, (Maybe that it's cached data)

My PNA i was using earlier does not cache GPS data but my PDA does and there was about 200ft altitude difference between them.
