Any idea how I can change the resolution on my Treo. I got the Destinator
software and gps thingy so I can get GPS on my Treo but the bottom two
buttons on each side are hidden. I tried to change the settings via the pc
and going into the skins folder but just managed to crash the phone.

I am not very technical.

Thanks
Leila

Hi Leila,

Unfortunately the resolution on a Windows Mobile device can not be changed
because it is tied to the specific device. In the case of the treo 750v I
believe the resolution is 240x240. As a result, developers of software must
design their software with this in mind and will typically tell you what
devices their software is compatible with. I looked at the Destinator
compatibility website at
http://www.destinatortechnologies.net/uk/products/products/pda/destinator_6/compatibility.html
and they do not list the Treo 750v or 700w as a compatible device. Knowing
this my guess would be they do not support the 240x240 screen resolution.
As a result, I suggest you contact Destinator tech support as they would be
the ones best able to provide you with a suggestion or help.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,

Thanks for the reply, you are absolutely right about Destinator not saying
it was compatible but the company it was bought from claimed that it was
compatible which was irritating. They have agreed to take it back so my
next question is - we now have a device that I assume gets the gps data,
what software can you suggest to use with the Treo 750v?

Thanks for your help.
