Getting CERegedit changes to persist on Chinese GPS   

Getting CERegedit changes to persist on Chinese GPS

Postby talljohn » Sat Jul 27, 2013 5:57 pm

Hi, New to the forum and I am hoping to get some help.

I have bought a Peaklife GPS, running Windows CE5. This already has IG080 running fine (connecting via com port 7), and I have installed a version of MemoryMap on to an SD card in the device, which by default attempts to connect via Com port 6.

I have edited (using CERegedit) the GPS_params file which is installed to Windows file on the device, but the setting is lost each time the device is re-booted. It connects fine for the session until I either reboot or reset.

I believe this is due to the registry not persisting. Anyones got ideas of how I can either get the registry change to persist, or alternatively change the com port that the GPS is trying to connect to the application through?

You can't change the registry from non-persistent to persistent, but you can use mortscript to write registry entries automatically on boot...

NT, Any chance you can point me in the right direction for the scripts I need to run?

Thanks,

Unfortunately you are going to have to write them yourself, however it's not that hard...

Just create a script that contains the registry entries you need by following the instructions in the guide.
Then either add the script to the boot process, or create a shortcut to it within your devices UI.

You could create a script to do the registry edits and start the app if you wanted.

Fatboyfun,

I am a complete novice at this, but from the instructions, it looks like I should create this:

RegWriteString ("HKCU", "software\Memory-Map-OS-5\MMPocketNav\Settings", "GPS_Params", "1,0,COM7: ,4,1,0,0,- ,1,6,100,500")
Run ("\SDMMC\MobileNavigator\mobilenavigator2.exe")
Exit

Does that look correct?

Then save the two files and add all three onto the memory card?

Thanks,
