once you start carman, press the icon in the top left hand corner and then connect the gps.

Just to report that I bought this device on eBay and works fine with Carman. The code is 1234.

The only thing I don't like too much is that it is quit long (about 7 cm).

Hi.
Carman seems to run well for me, except for the gps:
I have edited the file, but everytime it's turn back to gps=none when I start carman!:

"[CARMAN_DAEMON_SETTINGS]
time_precision=3
trip_folder=/home/user/Carman/Trips
maps_folder=/home/user/Carman/Maps
tracks_folder=/home/user/Carman/Tracks
obd_device=none
gps_device=none
last_trip_folder=/home/user/Carman/Trips/2010-10-07_11-22-02
connection_mode=normal"

An idea?
(I don't have yet the OBD2...

Thanks, I edited the file with FileBox, and check after editing: it's correctly write "internal" when I open the file again, but when I reboot, it's come back to "none" after launching Carman, or if I try to configurate the gps, it only allow me to check blutooth devices around me and that's all!
And after that the line in the file become something like this: "gps_device=00:21:04:B8:49:58"!!!
What should Carman propose for "configurate GPS"??
And there's a mistake in post 178: it's the file carmand to edit, not carman, correct?

Edit: editing the file with vi worked today!!!
And my GPS fix now!
Many thanks!
Now, I'm waiting for my OBD2 now...
Is it possible to install other themes?
