DT366 basic questions
DT366 basic questions
I'm not a newbie with computers, just with WindowsCE and tablet PCs. I bought a DT366 and need to install a piece of navigation software on it and then connect a GPS. I suppose I have to connect it to my desktop using a cable or bluetooth and then manage the installation from there, like on a PDA. Can someone give me some advice.
Re: DT366 basic questions
first place to start is the navigation software you are using ce5.0 x86 compatible ? There is very little out there that seems to be which if you read through these forums you will get to understand the hatred of ce 5:) .
problem with installing like a pda is again no sync software. If and thats a big maybe the software does work on ce5.0 x86 then you can try just running it on your dt itself instead of using synx software but I suspect the software you have is ce 5 compatible but not workable with these units.

Re: DT366 basic questions
active sync can use bluetooth as well but the machine has to have the client on it .
Re: DT366 basic questions
Thanks angrymeat for your reply. I don't think my DT366 has activesync on it so I would need a cradle or cable to connect to my desktop. Would you know where I can either or in the worst case the pinout so I can manufacture a cable myself?
Re: DT366 basic questions
as far as i understand for active sync to work at all a client would be necessary. even with a cradle or a cable im pretty sure it still wouldn't work. this is the problem all of us have had with ce 5 x86 there is little to no software out there for it.
Re: DT366 basic questions
This looks like a Catch22 situation, without activesync I can't install activesync. Is it really as bad as that?
Is there a way out of this?

dont use ce5
Re: DT366 basic questions
It crossed my mind but the S/W I intend to use runs on CE only.
Re: DT366 basic questions
I just saw on the internet that you can plug in a USB flash drive into the DT366 and transfer files that way.
Does it sound doable?

Re: DT366 basic questions
you can transfer files to your dt many ways over the internet through usb from a cf card from a usb cd rom / usb hd. that isnt the problem its the apps wont install to ce 5 x86. the program you have is most likely not compatible with ce 5 x86 either
