I'm confused, does the P3600 have a built in gps receiver?
I've done a search and it seems some do and some don't (does it require a rom upgrade to enable?).
The orange M700 has screen shots on some sites with nav software running but there is no mention of gps in the specs (I'm assuming the M700 is a re-badged P3600).
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
All HTC Trinities have GPS chip inside.... ROM updates are available to enable the GPS chip. These includes the official Orange and Dopod Roms or cooked ones

Thanks - another phone to add to my shortlist along with the p3300, eten x500 and g500 (looking to get another phone when my contract expires - currently using my xda2 as I've smashed the screen on my Mio a701)
I've just got a white m700, and in the box comes a leaflet invitation to try the Orange sat-nav free for 7 days, and the instruction book mentions GPS too.
My only problem is that I only had a quick look this morning before leaving for work. It should be charged and ready to rock and roll when I get home later
I bought the P3600i as an upgrade to my P3600 and was told that TomTom was included, however it is not!
When I bought my P3600, it came with the TomTom software. What gives?
How do I go about acquiring it?
TOMTOM

Does your P3600i have some kind of GPS quick fix program that loads the GPS satellite positions over the internet for a quicker fix ?

That´s the way it works. I have bought a Holux M1000 and it works perfect.
You will have to have 3rd party GPS software installed too though. I got Tomtom 6, Works brilliantly on Jasjam.
Cheers...
i always thought that my htc hermes did not have gps and that only the successor, tytn II does (which my brother has)..but then i noticed this in a wiki..
Most recently, it was discovered that the TyTN has an onboard GPS navigation chip, but with the antenna connection shorted out and drivers omitted from the ROM, the chip is rendered useless.

No, do a quick search and you'll find the thread which discussed the development. As said in the wiki the chip is rendered useless due to the shorts on the board and no antenna.
However, with a bluetooth GPS reciever and some navigation software (I've got Tomtom 6) you too can have GPS on your Hermes.....

people _were_ excited about this a couple years ago, as you could have found in the Hermes wiki, the conclusion is that there's no way to enable GPS, HTC smashed the GPS chip in each Hermes unit with a hammer before they ship it out so it's not usable at all.
Hello,
i am a little bit convused about the G-sensor on Jade
i have read on many previews on german websites that the jade have this sensor but i can't get it to work
In the registry i found a lot of keys if i change these noting happens.
Is there this sensor in jade if yes how i can get this to work?
i hope somebody understand my bad english *sorry*

The Touch 3G does _not_ have a G sensor.

AGPS means Assisted GPS and enhances the startup performance of a GPS. This feature goes only with GPS and Jade has both of them.
R u telling me that this phone has a gps in the same way that the touch cruise has a gps?
Yes, it has its own gps just like the Cruise.
Do you have a jade? I ask this because i cant find ANY gps software in the htc. I have igo installed and it only recognizes the bluetooth gps i use.
Another thing, some websites state GPS and agps while others only mention agps.
EDIT: which specs does the gps have? Is it sirf III? Why can't i find any specs regarding any gps, other than agps?
I have a Jade, and yes it has GPS, TT7 installed, working fine, I tweaked the phone a little and disabled aGPS, using com4 9600.
Hope this helps.
Unbelievable! For a week now i've had this phone and i have not found anything about gps. I'm using an external antenna.
Can anyone tell me the specs of the gps?
I am not sure if it is needed, but I used QuickGPS to set the hardwareport for programs on comport4.
After that I installed TT7 and placed the receiver on "Other NMEA GPS receiver, 9600b.
Working nicely, even inside although ofcourse better working outside.
What I do know that at the first time with every TT version, you have to wait a minute or so before its starting to pickup signals.
Why don't you just have a look at the official HTC specs ?
http://www.htc.com/sea/product.aspx?id=71380
or
http://www.htc.com/europe/product/touch3g/specification.html
Yes, i saw the specs on the site, but not on the phone! How do i turn it on or off? is it always on? where in the user manual do they talk about the freakin gps?!
another win for the windows mobile.

Gotta agree here. My brother got an Omnia i900 an he had a hard time figuring out how to use the GPS, too.
But I guess someone here will explain it to you. I don't own the Jade yet.
The GPS is activated only if a (navigation) software is active and configured to use the GPS, if no such soft is started the gps is not used. If you have a navigation software active/started and the gps has not the right settings like wrong com port, then the GPS is not used, so it's OFF.
oK, I'll test it today.
Yesterday i read the user manual and the only reference was to the Quick GPS app.
No where else is mentioned the gps capabilities of this phone.
How do i know its not using agps and not standard gps?
Quick GPS is only for faster positioning (download information of satellites by GPRS, WiFi or ActiveSync). Helping program only. You need of some GPS program in order to run GPS. In this program you need first to configure port and speed. Especially in Jade these settings are com-4 and speed-57600 (IGO). But in some other programs may be is different.
Kudos to you guys!
Gps is alive. Tested on both igo and tom tom.

How do you disabled aGPS ?
Is using com4 9600 enough to disabled it ?
