Hi,

I have a gosget 369, and I use it with a Windows CE handheld. My issue is all is fine while I am actively using it, but when I leave it for a few minutes the handheld goes into standby within 5 mins, and within another 5 mins of no traffic between the handheld and the gps, the gps turns itself off.

My question is, is there any NMEA command for keeping a GPS device awake, even with no traffic between it and the handheld.

This would allow me to be able to not use the device for 10-15mins and then not have to turn it on again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
