How to set up GPS
- Open Preferences >> GPS Communication dialog
- Enable GPS if it is disabled
- Select COM port and baudrate (usually it is 4800) if you know the exact settings and press on Test button OR
- click on Detect button to let VemsTune detect the port and baudrate (this may take a while)
If everything is fine, you should see your current position (like on this dialog)
- Click on Save to save settings and close dialog, or Close to close window without saving
Expert examples (ini change)
VemsTune can show Knots instead of Km/h (unit used on boats and airplanes, 1 Knot = 1.852 Km/h )
- In file VT_install_dir/config/include/section-gpsdata.ini around line 23 change
- gpsSpeed = { rawKnots / 10 * 1.852 }
- to
- gpsSpeed = { rawKnots / 10 }
VemsTune calculates consumption in L/Knot (from GPS Speed, not roadspeed) :
- In file VT_install_dir/config/vemsTune-v3-1.2.23.ini around line 2230 change
- l_100km_temp = { roadSpeed ? (lphr * 100.0 / roadSpeed) : 255.0 }
- to
- l_100km_temp = { gpsSpeed ? (lphr / gpsSpeed ) : 255.0 }
