Fortuna GPSmart Bluetooth a GPS on it's way to South Korea to the manufacturer!!
German Version:
Original-Zitat des Oberhäuptlings der GPS-Nutzer Bavaria darüber warum dieses GPS auf Reisen geht:
"Äh, wir haben dann einen Unterschied zwischen dem normal sich verhaltenden GPS, dem Gut-GPS und dem Problem-GPS.
Und, äh, es ist ganz klar, dass, , dieses GPS, äh, ein Problem-GPS ist..."
Soweit das Zitat.
Das war mein erstes GPS und hat mir anfangs gute Dienste geleistet.
Aber nun ist aufgrund eines Software-Bug des SIRF-Empfängers der GPS-Empfang kaputt und dieses Gerät aus der B22-Serie lässt sich nicht patchen.
Ich habe einen Tag Arbeit, mehrere Downloads und mehrere email gebraucht, um zu dieser Kenntnis zu gelangen!
Ein Problem-GPS halt!
Nun geht es auf Reisen, am besten nach Süd-Korea zum Hersteller, um dort zu mahnen das man doch lieber Gut-GPS-Geräte produzieren soll!
Hilfst du auf der Reise?
Falls du das Ding reparieren kannst (mittlerweile ist auch ein Schalter abgebrochen) probiers und melde dein Ergebnis!
Die Ersatzteile liegen im Batteriefach. Im übrigen läuft das Ding mit Batterien, bekommt aber keinen Empfang!
English Version
The Fortuna GPSmart Bluetooth was my first GPS reciever.
I bought it because you could Bluetooth connect it to a PDA and use it seperately because it has got a display.
Unfortunately this GPS has got a software bug and the SIRF reciever cannot get a signal anymore.
We tried to fix it, patch the new software but this GPS is of series B22 which cannot be patched.
Therefore we had a closer look at the inner life of this GPS, but one of the main switches broke in the circumstances!
The GPS is now rubbish or a good Travelbug!
Please send it to South Korea to the manufacturer to let him know that they should produce high quality GPS units and not garbage which cannot be fixed!
If you are experienced in the repair of GPS units you can have a go if you like!
If you fix it - let me know!
I wasted about a whole day of work, several emails and several downloads on trying toget that thing working again.
Now it is time to say goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It Was In Our Cache, "Scouting Around" But Through The Days It Just "Vanished" And There Was No Sign Of It. Maybe Someone Took It Without Writing It Was Retreived.

My GPS told me there was a travel bug to be found so I was excited to see the travel bug tag hanging out the side, but then my excitement faded when I saw what it was attached too. As I already had a travel bug I'd picked up about half an hour ago, I decided this can stay for someone else to enjoy. Plus its combined size could make fitting it into some smaller Caches a bit of a challenge... Good read up on the story though.
