Hi Folks,
is it possible to use the HTC Trinity as an external GPS Reciver.
I plan to connect my subnotebook over bluetooth with the HTC and use map and guide or something else on the subnotebook.
is it possible?

Yes it is, however you need a third party software to accomplish this. I don't remember it's name but I've done that in the past without any problems.
I'll try to find the program name and let you know...
Cheers,
Rayan
nice
Oh thank you,
I´ll wait for the name of the SW.

Hi,
someone have tryed GPS2Blue on htc p3600 (trinity)?
Does it work with bluetooth redirection?
What parameters did you set?
I have tryed several configurations but it doesn't work.
Suggestions?
Hello
I have a htc P3600 an i loaded Lalle black Diamond, cause i had an non working gps.
So i tried with HTC GPS Tool, VirtualGPS and Google Maps, but no one of these will find my gps.
Does anyone knows, what i have to do?
I used Com9 with 4800 Baud and tried also the other possibilities.
Best Regards
Flo

I dont use tomtom i want to use google maps. how can i use it?

Is it possible, that it does not work, cause it was a dopod branded p3600?
Hey guys,
first post on this, what seems to be a great forum.
I recently bought the Jade and overall i'm very pleased with it.
Today I had some time to install gps software. I picked TomTom 7.450 because i like it more than Igo. The program itself is installed well but i just can't get the receiver activated.
I allready used several settings (disabled agps, 'built-in gps' or 'other nmea receiver' in tomtom, also with different baud rates) but it keeps saying i have a bad reception, it's waiting for a useable signal and it doesn't find any satellites.
I already installe the cab file i found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3031549&postcount=5 but that also doesn't seem to help anything.
Would someone be willing to give a step by step guide in how to get this thing fixed?
Secondly, can someone tell me what setting I should use in orde to still see the 'start button' when i'm using TomTom. With my last pda it remained there when TomTom was activated, so I could also use other programs but with the Jade i can't seem to find how to do this.
Sorry if there are some grammatical errors in this post, I'm from Belgium . Thanks in advance!
update:
i managed to get some signal and got a fix, but after about a minute it was lost again and it won't find it again.
Also I installed IgO8 but it won't start on my jade so I guess I'll have to do it with TomTom...
OK, let's try to find where is the problem .
First chceck your registry. Find out what is your settings in this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 1
Set EnableAGPS to 0
If you already installed that CAB, it should be like this. This is going to make your GPS fix slower but more accurate and reliable (or it seems to do that ).
Second, download and install GPS Tuner from http://www.gpstuner.com/ . This is a great GPS software for offroad navigation which I use when testing GPS recievers.
Do not allow it to set your GPS receiver automatically. Set your GPS in GPS Tuner to COM 4, baud rate 4800 and Type 1. Go to "GPS Panel" and click green button "Start GPS". Do not leave this tab, because you can see how your receiver is getting fix. Be patient, especially if you do not have a good view of sky. The reason why I use this to test GPS is that you can see satelite signal even if you do not have a fix. Not all GPS applications do that.
If GPS Tuner is able to get fix in some time, there is something wrong with your TT settings. If it is not, there is something wrong with your GPS receiver or registry settings.
In the gps panel tab, the following results were given after pressing start gps (after about 2-3mins):
Lateral and longitudinal positions, altitude were correct
PDOP: 3,7 (good)
Fix: 3d fix
Furthermore it found 16 sats from which 7 were active.
So i presume it's not the gps unit itself but the TT settings? Registry settings are ok i think.
Many thanks allready!
Use latest version of TT
Try to install the latest version (v7.9) of TomTom. This one works ok on the Jade and you can also use the latest maps.

Right! And normaly there is no need to change any gps settings...
I just installed the latest TomTom and everything works fine.
Hey,
i got the 7.450 version to work and it's working brilliantly. Thanks for the link to the 7.9 version Jgeerts, but i'm going to stick with the 7.450 version now it's working .
Heb trouwens even even op je link rondgesnuffeld en de flitspalen zullen erg goed van pas komen! Waarvoor dank natuurlijk.
TT version 7.9 versus v7.4

Yes, but version 7.9 gives correct status for the sattelite reception and it also supports the latest v8.15 (and higher) maps. Version 7.450 does not support the v8 maps.
To be very honest. The file you linked me to (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8910078/74070269/sharing.html) gives me an ttsystem file after unpacking without an extension (no .cab, no .exe) and i actually don't have a clue how to use it
edit:
ok, got it to work, i installed the TomTom_7.910.9185 QVGA Black. I hope this one's ok?
Correct version.

@ jgeerts -- thanks very much for linking it. Is it the exe file in the 'tomtom pda' folder that I should download? (TomTom Navigator 7.910.9185 qvga black.exe)? Or is it TTN_7.910.9185_Cracked.rar?

Tried it on Touch3G, with v7 maps and it's all working now!
Also tried new version and your v8 maps on diamond and also working like a charm! Thanks!

Wrong, I'am using 7.450 and v8.15 maps, works perfect!!!
To use v8 maps on TT7.450 use keygen v7
To use v8 maps on TT7.910 use keygen v8
That's all ;-)

I also have TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab and when i trie to install it on my HTC Touch 3G NL i'am getting a errormessage: Installation of TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab failed.
This file is okay, i had it installed on my HP iPaq hx2110 with WM5.
Anyone any idea?
TTN7.910 works now, read below how i managed it:
It allready had TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab installed on my HTC Touch 3G NL, although the Touch 3G is a QVGA device it worked (some textlines are to big for the screen).
On this thread i found following link: (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8...9/sharing.html).
There you can find: TT7_v7.910.9185_vga_via_update_van_7450.9028.rar in the tomtom pda folder.
In this download you wil find TomTom_7.450.9028.cab and 2 versions of TT7_v7.910.9185, black and blue incl. data.chk
After installing TomTom_7.450.9028.cab (or in my case TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab) all you have to do is copy the preffered version, black or blue of TomTom Navigator.exe and Data.chk to your device: in the folder (phone or storage memory)\Programmabestanden\Navigator.
Since i have a Dutch device the folder is called Programmabestanden, i don't know how it's called in English.
On my device there is also a folder Program Files, where in my case TT is not installed.
But i think most of you can figure it out yourselfs by know how it works, otherwise your not worthy a PDA.
With TTN 7.450 my HTC could find satellites but it was unable to show me how many it found. GPS receiption was good although. With A-GPS turned OFF.
With TTN 7.910 the problem above is solved, my HTC stil finds satellites and now i can see how many of them there are out there in the sky.
Another nice thing is that now although i installed VGA TT7.450 and replaced it with VGA TT7.910 i can read all text on the screen.
The text is smaller so it fits the screen but still very good readable.
Sincelry,
a big fan of TomTom.
Final solution to this problem !
Disabling AGPS is the cause of the issue we have here.
I've done some testing with AGPS enabled and GPSMode set to 1 and the results are good (quick fix and almost no lag).
Please read my reply on another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3143383&postcount=17
A cab is attached to it to make the registry changes.
Kind regards.
boring GPS fix lag...
I wonder if all Jade owners are happy w/ their GPS performance..
Despite experiencing many tweaks, it still lags too much..
Any suggestion from the guys are happy w/ it..??

I am quite happy with my GPS performance. However i am using Garmin XT. There is lag, of course but probably by a few ms (a few feet) but it does not make me miss a turn or a junction.

Wrong, 7.450 does support v8.15 maps, but only with keygen v7. don't ask me why, the answer is: because!
7.910 needs keygen v8 for v8.15 maps.
Hello,
Since a week or two I am the proud owner of the HTC Touch Cruise II. I was trying to 'fix' TomTom to make it cappable of using 'free' maps on the internet (With help of the EasyUseTool). The preinstalled TomTom didnt allow this so I used another version I found on the internet (uninstall the old and install the new). I got TomTom working with Western and Central europe map but then NaviPanel didnt load TomTom anymore. So I edited the registry to make it connected to TomTom again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3519228). But when I push Navigator now it will freeze with the turing windows thingy. Anyone got a solution?
summary:
HTC Touch Cruise II
TomTom 7.915.9169
Preinstalled TomTom deleted replaced for other TomTom. NaviPanel links do not work anymore. Fix with register -> freeze.
Thanks in advance!
Hey hey,
anyone got an answer on my question? I searched all over the internet. Thanks in advance.
Grtz,
Roben
The NaviPanel works only with the branded (original) TomTom, with PaPaGo, with CoPilot and NaviTel. Other solutions of navsoft not works with NaviPanel. I think, your installed TomTom is different from the original branded TomTom, so will NaviPanel hangs up.
Solution:
Unlock the hardware Buttons (looks here) and set up the navigation-button with your version of TomTom.
Greetz Mirko
Hey,
Thanks for trying to help but it is not that my hardware buttons don't work. I can perfectly start TomTom by pushing the navigation button (above the green horn). It is just that NaviPanel does not work completly. Before I was able to push "To home" (naar huis), "Adress" (adres), "Recent location" (recente bestemming) and "Navigation" navigatie. When I use one of those buttons now it will be stuck with the turning windows logo (after I did the reg key edit, before it didnt do anything at all).
In order words, all the navigation buttons of the NaviPanel do not work. The rest does.
Thanks in advance!
You have 4 dll-files in the "Windos" - directory.
(NaviSWMiddle_CoPilot.dll
NaviSWMiddle_NaviTel.dll
NaviSWMiddle_PaPaGo.dll
NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll)
These 4 dll-files makes the start of the navisoft in navipanel. Isn´t a link, its the dll. NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll - in this time - works only with the original branded TomTom.
In registry you can set up four other Navsoft:
CoPilot
NaviTel
PaPaGo
TomTom
(all original branded)
Greetings Mirko
So it is actually waiting for a guru who can edit the .dll? I tried to open the dll with a reshacker but I wasnt able to (I didnt try real hard). Is anyone able to make this compatible?
Grtz

Hi Mirko,
Thanks, I think you missuderstand my question, actually i am trying to add button 2 in
HKLM\software\shell\key. I add in a name there and string. I manage to delete the string but just cant manage to delete the name key.
I follow the other post to disable papago as default navigator in NaviSW. and bmomail ask to allocate button 2 to set as garmin xt. Problem start from there. Hope this is give you better picture.
Garmin XT isn´t able to set it on the NavPanel, because isn´t a dll for garmin on the Iolite. You need a specific dll like NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll for this. The dll is not editable with ressource editors.
The key, you will delete, try this with SK-Tools, this tool can delete entire regkeys. I hope, i has understand you now right.
Greetings!
Thanks for explanation. Does this mean if i am not using the papago, the navipanel hardware button will be useless for me?

So today I thought lets call HTC them self hoping they have got a solution. I called the service centre europe in the Netherlands. I explained that the phone freezes when starting up TomTom through navipanel. The guy was really trying to help but he had advices like "hard-reset the phone" and "install the original version". He also said that HTC worked together with company's like TomTom to test which PocketPC version is the best for the HTC Touch Cruise 09'. It does sound a bit like a cartel, doesn't it? You cant even choose your own navigation software because the phone doesn't support it. Actually it does support just a feature (=NaviPanel, the reason I bought the phone) doesn't. He advices to contact TomTom because HTC is not going to do anything about it. With other words... I am screwed untill some bright guy would like to do a favour for a lot of people ^^.
