Hi,

On my new HTC/ATT fuze (WinMo 6.1) I have noticed an odd problem. If I have more than 1 GPS app running, then if I try to load a map in BCN (From Data Center: Open...) the file list refreshes once a second, it seems. It makes it impossible to load a map thats not on the first page of the list because the refresh puts the list back to the start.It seems to be only the open file dialog that does this, the other dialogs (for example the state selector list in the USGS places form is stable. Both "GPS test" and "Google Maps" will cause this if running, I haven't tried any others. (With Google Maps "Use GPS" has to be set). All apps are using the shared winmo GPS device, and BCN need not be connected, just the another app.

Any ideas?

That was a big clue. It wasn't the other apps at all. I had enabled GPS File Logging in the registry settings for the WinMo device driver. When ever any app was connected the driver itself was writing once a GPS update (second). BCN would do it to itself if it was attached to the shared NEMA device. By setting the max log filesize back to 0 and thereby disabling logging the problem has been solved.

I had only turned it on because I had hoped it would force the driver to start up GPS all by itself so it could log, but alas it doesn't, so the setting wasn't needed.

Thanks for the quick fix!
