works fine for me when setting the port to 4 and and baudrate to 4800 in Google maps
In START>Setting>EXTERNAL GPS
I have this setting:
programs (TAB) - DATA PORT GPS: COM4
hardware (TAB) - hardware GPS port: none
- baud 4800
Access (TAB) - Automatic GPS control (DEFAULT)
I set in google map COM4 and baud 4800, but don't work
Sorry, but I've the TYTN II fron 2 days
Use any GPS Application like TomTom to start the GPS and then switch to google maps without closing TomTom. This should work.
Goole Maps doesn't wait always long enough for a gps signal.

Ok, thank to all for reply, now I'll try...
Keep retrying till the gps gets the fix. If you get the fix with another application and then try with google maps, it will be very fast.
SOLVED
Tnx all
All solved!
All default and google maps work perfectly, without open other GPS application!!!
How, exactly, did you solve it?
that's bloody annoying he didnt share the love - i have the same problem!
I noticed that gps doesn't work when you're sitting at home. I've never had it failed on me when I was in the car, specially when the car was moving.
I used google map's and the gps feature to take me through an hour of traffic coming home from work.
GPS
I start up my GPS with GPS Photo to initialize(takes time to load) then open Google Map.
Hope this helps
Will givethe gps foto thing a go - good thinking!
Its amazing after 2 days wifi gps sniffing how many wireless AP there are

Here is what worked for me.
Goto Settings>System>External GPS, use the Kaiser defaults of GPS program port=COM4, Hardware=None, Baud rate=4800, Enable "Manage GPS automatically."
Run quickgps and download the current ephermis ?spelling data. This speeds up the time to first satellite lock.
Go outside, preferably open location with clear view of the sky.
Run gpsPhoto from the Camera app.
Allow a few minutes to obtain first satellite lock.
Once you have a satellite lock you can close the Camera app and open Google Maps and change Menu>Options>Track Location Settings to "Set by Windows". Press the OK left softkey.
Press the Right Menu softkey and select Track Location.
Bingo you should have a Satellite Lock and Google Maps should center on your location.
I only had to do this procedure once as Google Maps now aquires a lock in seconds. The Kaiser gps works better indoors than my 2 previous Blutooth GPS units, I can see which room of my house I am in. As with all GPS devices it works better in an open environment free from reflections from buildings and free from Tree cover. I am really impressed with the Kaiser GPS.
you rock dude
SOLVED
Sorry to all for my tardive reply
I've solved the problem simply without change nothing.
All default, and launcing google maps the gps start automatically (if not, initialize it with any gps software, like tomtom, gps photo, etc).
BUT - IMPORTANT
Google maps function well in open spaces, I tried it in closed, so, don't worked.
In open space, all ok, it's work fine.
N.B. I've an italian version of O.S. :
CE 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
Rom 1.56.408.5
Data Rom 08/28/07
Vers. Radio 1.27.12.11
Vers. prot. 22.45.88.07H
I feel it can help someone.
Thank's to all for your help and interesting

You said something very interesting here...you said you can see which room you're in. How is that? more of a curiosity thing than a useful thing but I guess it could be handy in large buildings (assuming you can get a fix).
Also, FYI, the new Google Maps is much better at waiting for the GPS to fire up. The timeout value is much more forgiving. I've noticed in the new Gmaps, It just works now.
How do I use a GPS Photo? I see they end up in <Computer\TyTN II\Storage Card\My Documents\My POI> as jpgs but I cant see any location data within the file info? (I have HTC camera 4.08.) BTW I did a search and could not find an answer so pls excuse if it has been covered a million times. Thnx.
Did you look in the exif data for the GPS location?
Yes I did. Nothing there.
But... Co incidentally I just loaded up the Registry Tweak tool and see that my lack of GPS Photo co ordinates is due to the applicable registry switch being off by default. Toggled it to on and I expect it will be fixed now.
Does anyone have the camera working with the gps? I would like to use this feature while hiking. I believe i have the gps working but i dont find any info stored in the Images? Thanks
Im running Alexes 6.1 rom and the latest 6.1 radio 1.64.06.04
Use this
Using any registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\ and in the folder P9 change "enabled" from 0 to 1. Now new option GPS Photo will appear in the menu.
When you take a GPS Photo it will store under a folder called POI, in pictures (pictures location depends on what you set it.) Use the attached to open a photo from the POI folder. You will see the GPS coordinates set as extended attributes.
MODs: I found the attached as a freeware when searching google. If it is not please remove, and let me know.
JKO
You can also use KaiserTweak to activate this.
I wonder if anyone can help, I've used the GPS photo mode and it seems to be working fine turning on my gps and then taking the photograph. But what happens after that I've looked at the pictures and can't see any gps info and nothing new in the properties. I can't seem to find any help searching in google. After reading this forum for the past couple of weeks I've learnt so much I'm hoping somebody out there can help me
The GPS information is only visible in the EXIF data hidden in the picture. You can access this information with programs like Adobe Bridge, Opanda EXIF and other such programs.
Its not until you start doing something like uploading your picture to the various Geotagging photo sites that it gets interesting. Right now though it seems like the more popular one, Flickr, is having trouble with the Diamond EXIF and it wont work, but some other site might work for you.
Hmmm never thought of using this but it may be nice... Is there a list of sites that support GPS metadata? I have some Picasa albums set up (and uploaded), but I just read about problems with Picasa deleting the GPS metadata?
resco photo manager can do it, plus it open google map with the picture position. It can add the gps position on any picture too.
A nice piece of software.
However, i folowed these steps :
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" to "1
But i doesn't seems to work. Is it another special option to enable ?
Folks,
I'm currently vacationing in Hawaii (Aloha!) and would like to find an easy to use tool that will allow my family and friends to track me. I'd like to be able to use my Tilt's GPS to track where I've been, upload pictures at locations I've been, and maybe add a bit of commentary for the folks back home.
I've tried wordpress blogging from Opera, but it is really, really cumbersome to upload pictures because the upload utility doesn't display thumbnails--only file names.
Is there another utility that you'd recommend?
Rutilate
Two simple steps...
Step 1: Use the GPS photo option in the phone to take a pic.
Step2: upload the pic to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ and see where you have been in google earth or google maps...
Sometimes the GPS photo takes forever to get a lock by itself so i use GPSTest to get a GPS lock and then switch to the camera.
You can also try Ozi Explorer , this app allows you to show your GPS position in real time on the map (Its called moving map mode, and the map can be a PNG image).
Have fun on your vacation!

Just make sure you use its "Turn Off Screen" mode if possible, otherwise Windows Mobile eventually goes to a deeper sleep and it stops tracking. Not a problem when it's plugged into the charger typically, and when I'm traveling on the road I always just keep the phone plugged in.
