818xt GPS problems

Post by baracus010 »

Hi all, i've recently purchased a Qstarz 818xt gps dongle but cannot get it working with tunerstudio. Bluetooth or usb connection is working fine, and i can successfully utilize the GPS with other software such as Racechrono and Qstars GPSview.

The problem is when used with Tunerstudio the only data i get is the number of connected satellites, no speed, no altitude, no bearing, no position etc. Can anyone help?

If you are getting the number of satellites, all the data _should_ be there.

Is your MS and MS3?

Does a Data Log contain the GPS data?

Are you selecting the GPS gauges by right clicking and selecting:
GPS --> XXXXXXXX Gauge
