    RawGpsReceived event is not fired

    I'm running TomTom naavigator 6.031 (8341) (as supplied with the navigator SDK 6.031) and In The Hand 6.2.1

    The RawGpsReceived event is not fired, ever. I've tried "fake" data and and live gps. I've tested using the sample and a test app which basically just

    wrote something to a file when event was fired.

    Any ideas what may be wrong?

     

    Thanks

    Can you check that you have the latest version of TomTom, I believe this is 6.033.

     Hi Peter

     Thanks for getting back to me.

     I am running 6.031. I contacted TomTom about which version I should be using, this was their reply.

    The NAVIGATOR application in the SDK package (app folder) is version 6.031. This SDK should only be used with this application version. There are some other application version, but those have been made for specific devices.

     TomTom home tells me there are no updates available for navigator.

    If you believe I should be running 6.033, and by doing so it would fix the RawGpsReceived event problem could you tell me where I can obtain it.

     Many thanks

    George

    The event wont fire for fake GPS data inputted using the ExternalGPSInput stream. But it should fire for real GPS data received through an attached GPS as configured in the TomTom application. What type of GPS device are you using? Is the application running at the time the handler is added to the event?

    Having done some further testing on this I have found that the event doesn't fire if the event handler is added before the TomTom application is fully running. Therefore the sample application will not show the raw gps events if it is run and TomTom is not running - because it hooks the event immediately after calling StartApplication which is asynchronous. If you ensure that you hook up this event separately in your code when you have ensured TomTom is running it will correctly fire the events.
