Looking at the picture of the back pack it seems to me that the CF slot is at the bottom. Ok this is not a problem for a wireless lan card ( i use a SD WiFi Card and it works fine) but as at the moment it dose not support Bluetooth serial port me and i am sure other people will get CF GPS cards, but there is the problem, the slot is at the bottom so do you need to use the XDA upside down. i understand if it was at the top it would cover the camera, Please some one tell me my eyes are working and the slot is on the top or at least faceing upwards

Who's the first to pop it into the XDA II?
I want one!
I tihnk it will be far more useful than a BT gps.
One can always install a redirecting antenna in his car ...
though I've got a non-metal roof
re
I have the Sandisk SD Wifi card which works very well with the xda 2 although delivers rapid power drain.
I suspect this will be the same drain on power ?
Also, if you use the SD slot for the GPS, where do you store the map files ?
Just my initial thoughts.

power for WiFi is a problem due to transmission. The way Ethernet
works, the sender "assumes" you didn't "get the message" and resend
it, unless you acknoledge it. You must also acknoledge at the same
speed that you got the data. Even if you only acknoledge in 10 bytes
every 2K you get, it is still doing lots of Transmits [note: I'm not
really familiar with WiFi details, just Ethernet in general]
the GPS is just a reciever. they claim 100mA. This should give us
approx 5 hours use on full charge, with the phone powered on and
the map running ... In fact, I'm pretty sure the BT gps would not
do better, batterywise.
On maps, you got me! I guess most cities can be loaded into
te internal memory or the \storage card. If you design a good
maping software, it will "cache" your SDcard data and ask you
to swap it only when absolutely need. Having NEVER played with
GPS software (tomtom destinator etc) I really don't know the answer.
But my Garmin has just 16Mb of memory which it claims can be used
to give detailed maps - downloading part from the PC one at a time...
so the PPC must be much better.
Also, GPS cards (ie CF) is nothing new, so someone must have the answers - so come on guys, give it to us!
re
well thats what I'm holding out for, a GPS CF card. My theory being you still have the sd slot free for memory card and plenty of detailed maps.
Plus with the back pack u get a bit more juice and the VGA out.
Can't seem to get it anywhere yet though, but accessories always seem to be slow to market, no point in mass producing stuff till there are enough machines out there I guess.
mmm I digress, sorry.

CF GPS
CF GPS card have been available for over a year, what r u talkin about?
just gogle "cf gps" or go to eg www.ecost.com.
This isn't a real solution. I can go around town with the SD GPS in
my shirt's pocket, and if I need it, I'll use it. When you or a BT GPS
user will need their's, it will be in the parked car or at home ...
mobility! mobility! mobility!
OF course, I want my XDA iii - stable OS, GPS builtin, 512Mb flash builtin,
camera 1.3Mpixel, and WiFi built in. and a larger battery, of course....
I expect to buy it early 2005.
re
lol, I was referring to the xda 2 back pack, with built in CF slot, Battery and VGA out. It's not available in the UK atm.
I didn't think the CF GPS was that big, the only thing I am not sure of is where the CF slot is in the back pack, and whether a CF GPS will fit.
Cheers, Shire
Looking at that CF bakpak the CF slot is on the bottom, so if have the CF card GPS then the GPS aerial would be upside down.
or do you try and find a program to invert your screen when you start you map software. or get a external aerial for the CF GPS.
or is it just me and the CF slot is on the top of the CF bakpack

hi
I have an XDA compact and have tweeked it loads, i have to say its the most stable XDA EVER... ITS NEVER CRASHED! even with tomtom5 and all other stuff.
Any how, I have a SD wifi card which layed dormant while I had the XDAIIi (the most unstable XDA) but I was wondering about trying to find a way to hard wire the wifi in.
I have checked the reg and it has the wifi settings ready to tweek.
what I will try is running the 2gb sd card wired with the wifi card and a scan disc driver for the 256+wifi and see if this works.
I have though about using com 1 or the USB connection too.
any ideas on this??
Hi everyone.
Today my 2gb sd memory card's body broke and I took out a tiny microchip.
Now I'm wondering if I will connect it paralell to my sd wlan card somehow will something get broken or they can really work together possibly.
Any comments are welcome.
Cheers
Not sure, but I think with proper wiring (not sure if it will work just by simply paralel-connecting them) there should be a way to do so.
The Prophet, indeed, shows the built in Wifi network card, as "SDIO Wifi".
I guess they just put a SDIO WIfi module and wire it to the SDIO slot, but still can provide the SDIO slot free for memory card.
So it seams that my OTG cable works fine for thumbdrives and the likes. But when I attach my D7000, no dice. The activity light on the camera comes on for a second or two like its trying to negotiate the USB connection and then turns off.
I check the /mnt/usbOTG OR /usbOTG folder and get nada. After reviewing some of the other threads I pulled down the USB OTG Watcher and same behavior. Thumb drivers are recognized no problem, but when the D7000 is attached its like nothing is working.
Ideas?

You don't have to use that for a dslr. It should be just going into the gallery and hook up the camera.

That was the first thing I tried. Should have mentioned that. Opening the gallery does not show me anything from the camera.
Ok asked the wife. She says it should show imported pictures in the gallery when your camera is hooked up. It is a folder and then you can import them from there.

Also it could be the root your using. I stuck to stock root on mine but never tested her dslr on it. I an going to test stock 3.2.2 when w get our xooms back from the upgrade. I am going they put in the ability to use my hdd and other stuff with the otg cable. If not rooting here I come.

my xoom only detects my d7000 when it has 2 memory cards inserted in it. Well, it opens the gallery app with only 1 card loaded but shows 0 pics regardless of whether there are jpegs on the card or not. I'm running rooted 3.2 with the tiamat kernel.
Put 2 cards in and it works great! Now if only I could figure out how to get the raw images off the camera without a card reader...

I usually just set the camera to record a Raw file on one card and a .jpeg on the other so that I can transfer the .jpeg to the Xoom for preview on it's larger screen but leave the large Raw files on the camera's card since it will take up too much space on the Xoom and not be viewable. As another option, your second card in the camera could be the Eye-Fi card which has an Android app and will wirelessly transmit all files or just jpegs to the Xoom while you shoot.

This is good know that it is working. I'll have to keep playing with it and see, maybe get another OTG cable just to be sure.
Yeah, using the wrong OTA adapter would cause you problems. If a flash drive works with the adapter, the D7000 should work too.
Alternative method to OTP
Hi..
I also have nikon d7000 but i never use otg to tranfer my files. But if you want to transfer your files you can use other alternative methods to otg such as wifi sd card which share files with wireless connection or your can use Nikon d7000 camera firmware A:104/B:1.05 which is need to be install in your OS and then you can simply work on it. For more help and other alternative ways you can use nikon d7000 manual.
hi, I've added a sim slot and at the same time I've removed the original TF slot and try to replace with a "cover back" TF slot.
However, I don't know how to connect other points except the 8 ones.
Would someone pls help to advise how to connect?
Attached is the photo of the TF slot.
Highly appreciated.
