I've posted pictures of the start of the process.

Letting this section sit in the car for a few days then we'll pull it out and beef up the back portion.

Thursday night, we'll be working on positioning.

The whole goal here is to get 3-4x more air space than what we had before for the Be 3" mid range.

Currently, it plays down to around 550, we want...

Converting your contact files to vCard format.

Posted September 29th, 2008 at 01:11 PM by Jan (Jan's Centrafuse Blog)

In my quest to find a program that would allow me to convert all of my contacts (both csv and vcard) to .adr for Opera, I stumbled across this nifty little FREE program: Dawn

It's called Dawn.

It will convert your Contact files (including those from Outlook) into vCard, or any number of other formats.

I've not tested it with Centrafuse, and probably won't be able to for some time now, but I figured I would post it for others to try and report back with...

How do I read my log files?

Posted September 22nd, 2008 at 05:50 PM by Jan (Jan's Centrafuse Blog)

By it's nature, the log files are intended for internal use for our own troubleshooting and for advanced support issues.

However, keeping in mind that we have a number of more advanced computer users, we wanted to provide a bit of information that would help those users to read these log files in order to assist them in troubleshooting.

As we have these items come into the support system, this FAQ will be updated.

Have something that you want to see added?...

Opera Desktop and Opera Mobile

Posted September 22nd, 2008 at 05:48 PM by Jan (Jan's Centrafuse Blog)

Recently I purchased a new phone - a Treo 800w, to replace my Treo 700WX.

I must say that I love the phone thus far. It has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it, compared to Windows Mobile 5 which was on my 700WX.

Naturally, as soon as I got it home, I started to look for new software to use on it. I read a post somehwere about how someone like how Opera Mobile worked on their Windows Mobile phone, so I decided I would give it a try. I must sayt hat I'm very impressed. I'm...

BlueSoleil, Bluetooth, and other Devices with Centrafuse

Posted September 22nd, 2008 at 01:48 PM by Jan (Jan's Centrafuse Blog)

I've been getting a number of support emails, calls, and requests with people asking how to get their XXX Bluetooth device to work with Centrafuse.

We can only support the phone functionality at this time. Bluetooth GPS is simply not recommended. It's not generally stable enough to be considered a good solution.

So do yourself a favor and just buy a wired GPS solution, you'll be thankful you did when you can just plug it in and have it work without any troubles.
