WindowsCE Hack

This is intended for the Pharos GPS 135 (PDR135) I do not know if it will with
Any other Pharos version or any other similar software.

3 attached files: PhotoAlbum.exe and realPhotoAlbum.exe and ReadMe!.txt

This will enable you to install Windows CE software including TomTom 6 which I have successfully installed.
I have not yet attempted iGuidance or any other GPS software.

Steps:
1. Connect to 135 via Active Sync also make sure you do not have the MP3player or PhotoAlbum open.
2. Open the Windows folder.
3. Copy the PhotoAlbum.exe over to the folder and select yes to overwrite it.
4. You have now lost your PhotoAlbum, I personally use that less than the MP3, if you would rather
lose the MP3 player then rename the PhotoAlbum.exe to Mp3Player.exe.
The realPhotoAlbum.exe file is a copy of the actual PhotoAlbum. You may put this in the Windows folder and
still utilize the PhotoAlbum but not via the Pharos interface.
5. Now close the active connection. Click the Photo Viewer icon and you SHOULD see a taskbar!
(The Desktop will typically NOT be visible!)
6. Now I HIGHLY SUGGEST that you set the start menu to autohide. Select Start -> Settings ->
Taskbar and Start Menu -> Auto Hide -> OK
7. Now you can install software via the Windows Explorer under "Programs".

Even if you don't install software this hack will allow you to utilize the Map and
directions WHILE listening to MP3s.

WARNINGS!
I am not responsible if this does not work with yours, follow this at your own risk!
Also, if you switch the "ON/OFF" switch you will lose your settings and need to follow these steps again.
Hitting the "Reset" button at the bottom will NOT cause you to lose the settings.

Installing TomTom? Go into the windows control panel and put the volume all the way up
as the voice will be very low otherwise.


Installing ANY GPS software?
For GPS device select "NMEA Receiver" Baud Rate of "38400" and Port Com1
