Since summer I use the GPSGatePPC portsplitter to be able to use more than one GPS application at one time.
In my holidays I noticed that the accu load was sinking very quick while using GPS on a bicycle tour.
Although I charge the accu while driving via a hub dynamo, the accu was empty after half a day. :sign0148:
Now I found out, that my application (using GPSSerial.dll ) as well as GPS4PPC (using serial2.dll) produce a CPU load of 100% and a power consumption of 400 mA.
This doesn't happen without using GPSGate.
And it doesn't happen with an older Version of GPS4PPC (using SerialDevice.dll) together with GPSGate.
It doesn't happen either with Oziexplorer and the medion navigator.
But it does happen as well with pocketstars.
The first pict shows as it is with GPS4PPC using SerialDevice.dll
The second pict shows how it is with my app or GPS4PPC using serial2.dll. Doesn't matter whether optimized compilation or not.
(You can see that the accu load already dropped from 99% to 96% within 1 minute)
GPSGate is the only splitter I found with that my loox and Basic4PPC optimized compilation works stable. The JAL Port Splitter doesn't work in my case.
Are there any ideas what I can do?
Thanks,
BerndB
