What app is this? Not the comm port settings is it?
If so let me know I have that.
That's the file you want ?
¡Thank you!, ¿anybody knows what setgps.exe does?.
PUSH
Anything new here??
This seems like an older version of the program. Need one of the guys with a Pre Prod model to dump the program out. Much more options in this than with GPS Test, but it doesnt fit or format to the s730 well at all. Does offer more overall options which I like though.

::reaches for sync cable::: Thanks
hehe
Messed around with these 2 programs last night, didnt make a diff in anyway. One thing i did see was that if you go into HTCGPStool.exe / Function / Cold start etc it says " please open com port first "
Any ideas ?
If you start something like 'GPS Test' the com port is activated. But it makes no difference.
Open COM using "Start NMEA Messages".
yeap
did that, it beeps and still does nothing, lol. Guess it wasnt that easy then...
Time will tell...
Strange CAB file :: Configure_GPS.cab
I found this strange CAB file in the pre-production ROM from Rafuz. It installs correctly, and after the installation I'm able to Open COM using "Start NMEA Messages". I see the messages in the textbox, but I still can't find satelites...
I used all the GPS files (GPSID.dll, GPSAux.dll, etc) from Rafuz, and even his HTCServices.dll
It seems this CAB installs a working driver for the GPS chip (GPSID_QCT.dll)

Well done
Which tool do you use to test this?

Is it true that the onbaord GPS can self manage the GPS data to multiple apps( like the Trinity)?
Yes, that is correct.
Go to Settings, system tab, then External GPS , access tab,
then tick the option 'automatically manage GPS (recommended)'.
(It should be something like that, because I have a Dutch ROM, so this is an educated guess )

Do you know the actual port the GPS is on? I'm trying to get iGo to work and it just hangs when I do autoseek. Strange thing is that Google maps has no trouble finding and using the built in GPS-hardware. Unfortunately it won't tell me what these settings are.
ROM-versie 1.25.172.0 25-6-07
I used COM port nr 6. I didn't change the hardware-port and the baudrate settings.
However, the first time, it took me about half an hour to get a GPS fix. But once he made the first fix, the next ones were very fast. Since then, he has a fix within 20 seconds.
Could you tell me about the Google Maps application? What is it about? Could you eventualy share the files?
Gr,
Forrest

That's it, but beware of your mobile internet tarrifs, I think only with Dutch T-Mobile this falls under your 10 euro internet bundle.
I gave up on Igo, I just use TomTom now.
Did you notice that on long trips with bluetooth on the gps just plain disapears? like: no GPS-device present? doesn't happen with bluetooth switched off.
maybe it's just my ROM version, I'm having it flashed to release version later today (branded unfortunately: yuk!)
Update: not release, ROM-versie 1.49.172.2

Now that the retail version is available, can anyone please confirm or try to feed 2 applications that would use the GPS data feed concurrently!
ie TomTom and GPSDash.
Thanks
Kaiser & Igo
I'm using iGo 2007 with the GPS settings left as standard. When I looked at these they were com 4 and 4800 baud. Memory map 5 uses the same settings and I've had no problems with either. I let WM6 manage the setting automatically as I have with all previous WM GPS Smartphones/PDAs.

I am using Windows Live with mine and the GPS port only seems to work on Com4, but like others, I leave the HW port and baud rate alone.
If you enable the QuickGPS it will help you lock onto a satellite quicker.
Am having difficulties getting the GPS to work with Goole Maps and the product packaging here in Asia doesn't have TomTom.
I'm looking for a GPS testing tool to test whether I can get an initial lock onto a GPS (which I understand can take several minutes first time arond) and eventually then use Google Maps.
Google tells me there's a (freeware?) tool "GPS Viewer" by Holux / Maction but I can't seem to find a .cab file. Anybody can share a link to this or a similar tool, much appreciated.
Here is a tool for you. Setup COM4, 115200, NMEA
thanks for that ... I'm not able to set COM4, the drop down list for Port: has only "Serial_BTU COM7:"
does anyone know of a simple today plug-in that would display different gps info? like maybe lat/long, speed, direction, etc?
Isn't that going to kill battery... having GPS on all the time?

Of course it would... doesnt mean you have to have it active all the time though, i was just thinking of some instances where it would be cool to have that info but not loose all the other info on your today screen..

Hi Shogun
Seen some small apps that give basic data (no maps needed etc) but so far none that run as a plugin.

Thanks much ...
There is an app on use on WM5 called Navio that shows GPS data on a Today screen plugin. Do not know if will work on WM6. I hope to find out if AT&T would release the Tilt.
For using googlemaps, you must installing and using once tomtom. After, googlemaps is working fine.

GPS viewer is great because it actually shows you when you have a proper GPS lock.

Any version will work.
i get lots of "fail to sync" and sync contact wich i dont like even thou i unheck the contact tab sync
and i tryed lots of version.
In addition to the cabs on the first page, which I'm guessing you already found, there's some good info in the posts on how to setup. I got lost after the post suggesting to install the first version, then the second, something about preventing the auto config files from running as I recall. Good luck.

I need to start tracking my movements because i just recently started a new hobby where i could easily get lost. If there is either some way to track my steps or mark my location every 5mins per say.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Note: i know googlemaps has TrackMe but I do not have a data plan, so i use TT6.
This feature is usually called "bread crumbing" and I do not believe that Tom Tom has it - I have hadd almost every version of TomTom including one not on my Tilt and I cannot find it there.Bill

ok i've searched trying to figure out how to run trackme with tomtom but it don't work

You can try WMMiniGPS11b_Installer which will track your path, and export it to KML to view on Google maps/earth or live search
Though this won't help you if you are lost I suppose...

LOL, just to get a fix in the boston area is a pain in the ass i have to open gps router, then go to gpstest, then download quickgps, then open tomtom just to get a fix now i need gpsgate sh1t.
Thanks for your help man. i'll report back.
Fwiw, I just checked on mine with Garmin XT and it does do a selectable time Track Log as well as a POI file to store your own waypoints.

ok i'll check out garmin software soon i think tt is kinda sucking on my device. Wish i knew why.

Don't we have an application called GPS Router within WM 6.1 to take care of this?? I am using Dutties and I have. It can be found under start/programs/system tools...
Correct me if I am wrong

I installed Track Me yesterday and had fun with it all day long. Please define "Doesn't work" and lets see what we cah do to help you. There is a HUGE thread on how to make this program work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
Now - At the very TOP of this thread it indicates a couple of programs that you have to have installed on your computer -
REQUIREMENTS
Devices running Windows Mobile 5 or 6 (no Windows Mobile for Smartphones)
Microsoft Compact Framework 3.5
SQL Server Mobile 3.5
and it gives you a download link. Mine did not work either until I downloaded those.
THEN install the program. It works a treat. The only problem I have had with it is if I tell it to connect every thirty minutes and check the box to disconnect after each connection - it does not seem to connect after that.

oh sorry, i did post in that link what my problem was after i started this thread. This thread was for the purpose for another program.
Anyhow my problem is after reading that thread and following different peoples advice i cannot get a fix with any gps program when i have trackme open.
PathAway 4 Professional has a feature to upload your coordinates in a few different ways, email, and I think even a web post method. I haven't looked at the features closely yet, but check it out.

Check if you have the correct regkey.

i am using 7.910 and have maps registered. if i install this, will i have to re-register my maps (north america 725.1906 or something like that)?
