GPS Receiver Reset Utility - Sometimes GPS receivers (at least my Hamlet HBTGPS20) stop working correctely (no or unstable fix). Hamlet advice is to reset it using a desktop Windows program that they provide. Unfortunately, this requires a BT enabled desktop or laptop PC. Very unpractical indeed!
This small utility can be used to reset GPS receivers. It should work on any device with .NET Compact Framework installed and for any BT serial port GPS receiver.
Installation:
1 - extract the files from GPSReset.zip
2 - copy GPSReset.cab to your device
3 - run it, a shortcut to GPSReset.exe should appear inside Programs
or
2 - copy GPSReset.exe and OpenNETCF.dll wherever you want in your device (but not Windows)
3 - create a shortcut to GPSReset.exe
Usage:
1 - check that BT is enabled and that the GPS receiver is on
2 - run GPSReset
3 - select the serial port and and the baudrate of your GPS receiver
4 - click the Open button and wait for the Reset button to become enabled (or for an error message)
5 - click the Reset button
6 - click the Exit button, that's it
After reset it might be necessary to execute again the BT pairing procedure with the receiver.
