Glad to see I have managed to convert you all over to Navizon geeks. It does get a bit obsessive!! Mind you I am just a tad under 100,000 points in just under a month. (have to keep the cash out of paypal tho coz this mrs massiv is on an ebay binge at the moment

If you are using it in Portrait, did you see the GPS tab in Options? For some reason the Options screen opens right aligned, missing 2 tabs to the left side including GPS.

I've set mine to COM4 and 4800Bd and Output port off, and all works fine.

I did see the GPS tab, and tried setting it to the same as my Trinity, but that didn't work. However your settings did thanks.
Tried it out on the way to work, using 3G (normally I turn 3G off for Navizon), over my usual route. Was very surprised that it found an additional already mapped cell tower; thought I'd got all the local ones. New APs isn't a surprise, since I expect those to come and go.
German class tonight, and now I have 2 devices working with Navizon, I can kill the battery on one of them on the way there and the other on the way back! Should be lots of APs to get.

Glad it's working. I think you may be surprised hw good the battery is on the Orbit2

I reckon I'd get about 5 hours with no power save, screen on minimum brightness, GPS on, WiFi on and phone using 3G.

I put Navizon on the Orbit 1, and I've been carrying it around in my coat pocket!

neilm · 20-02-2008, 08:35 AM

I've come to a halt at present, as my journeys each week just repeat! Also, someone has beaten me to it in the Saffron Walden area! Lots of towers and AP's but no new ones for me

I guess that will happen... How about moving again Neil?

..I'll need to do the maths first

When logged into Navizon's web page in 'Coverage' select 'My Data'. This will show where you have been, which is good for identifying possible route variations, even if all they do is pick up already mapped stuff.
Reckon I'll get to my first reward later today. Is there any saving on Paypal fees by letting rewards stack up at Navizon and sending a block to Paypal at once, or does it cost the same as sending them one at a time?
Can I put someone else's Paypal account in at Navizon, since I don't have one?
If so, then please will someone (Windows I assume) PM or email me the details I need to enter at Navizon to donate my reward to 4WM.

PayPal don't charge a fee to receive a payment unless it is as a result of an online sale (Ebay etc); there is a small fee if you transfer less than £50 to a bank account though. You can alwys keep the balance in the PayPal account to set against any PP purchases, or wait to accrue £50 before transferring.

I think you can select any valid PP user email as a recipient.
