[gps-talkusers] Re: GPS 3.3 with Keysoft 7

Mike 

I've just installed ks7 on a PK with gps 3.1 already on board.  It
installed without any problems except for a minor quirk when setting the
POI folder.  I had to swtich from directory to folder view when entering
the destination folder. If I didn't it reported that it couldn't find
the storage card, which I assume is related to it being called compact
flash under ks 7.  Can I assume that I was sent the right upgrade and
don't need any extra files? 

I also was lead to believe that for 3.3 I need an extra patch to get
blue tooth to work?  Sounds odd?  Why ship something you know needs a
patch? It all seemed confused so I guess when it arrives on Tuesday I'll
find out.

For those of you who have upgraded to Keysoft 7 on the mPower or 
BrailleNote Classic, your GPS version 3.3 should continue to work. 
You might have to reinstall it but everything will work normally.

Since GPS is under the "Navigation" menu under Keysoft 7, it takes a 
while to get used to pressing N from the Main Menu instead of G, 
which will now get you Games.

On the PK with Keysoft 7, you will need a free GPS 3.3.1 version as 
the directory structure has changed on the PK to make it the same as 
the mPower. Email your serial number for your PK to 
Sheila@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for the 3.3.1 file.

You will also notice slightly different behavior under Keysoft 7 with 
regard to activating your Bluetooth GPS receiver. Under Keysoft 6 on 
the mPower, you should be very familiar with 3 steps for activating 
the receiver which are, Activate, Reset and Activate again. Under 
Keysoft 7, it is no longer necessary to reset and reactivate. All you 
have to do is to Activate Activesync once if you have performed a reset.

On the PK under KS6, you had to deactivate and reactivate after doing 
a reset. Under KS7, once you do a reset, the PK is already 
deactivated and you just have to activate it once.

You may find that you need to pause at the Main menu for 5 seconds or 
so before pressing N for Navigation, otherwise you may get a 
Bluetooth not connected message.

A new Getting Started document has been adjusted with these Keysoft 7 
connectivity details.
