Hello,
I develop a module GPS under pocket pc to display sentences NMEA.
The objective is to validate my module for the devices HTC
or it can have bug...
This soft is very simple.
Select COM GPS and RATE GPS your device and press TEST.
the soft open port COM serial and read data.
if the sentences NMEA display it's OK !
else i would like to understand why...
If you want to do a test on your device, thanks please tell me the result
(device, port com, rate , and test ok or not) !
link cab file :
http://rapidshare.com/files/89376324/GPS.CAB.html
??? can anyone ?
Downloading now. Give me a few minutes.
Doesn't seem to work on my XV6800.
I installed to main memory.
I tried with Google Maps on and locked to 6 satellites and with it off. I was set to Com 4 and a baud of 4800. No NMEA shown and lock = no. Left on until the device turned itself off.
My devices GPS need a prime for other software to work (TomTom, etc) but works great with Google Maps.
Another little thing you might think to fix. The text in the selection boxes is huge. Need to move down a few font sizes.
Let me know if I can do anything else.
thanks blazingwolf !
My soft test is ok for HTC touch cruise (Polaris)
But the problem is also P3300 Artemis...
I believe that we must activate some things for Qualcomm chip GPS..
( I do not documentation and web site Qualcomm Link is not valid ->
http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/gpsone.pdf )
GPS is as silent under my soft ->
- Sent a command on the link serial GPS to activate the chip ???
or specific sentence NMEA for activate sends sentences NMEA from GPS ???
- or the chip GPS uses a protocol other than NMEA ???
I am looking...

I do not use the framework microsoft.
fair enough. i'll try and download it this evening, see if it works on my Artemis.

Hi All
I have performed the reg edit that enables the WM5 GPS App - I also know from threads that it is intended to allow multiple pocket pc applications to use the same GPS. Can someone explain how to use the various settings?
In particular, what is the effect of the different GPS settings on the tab labelled "programs" and that labelled "hardware"? And in what circumstances should one uncheck the "manage GPS automatically box" on the "access" tab?
Many thanks
Chris
WM5 GPS Application
Hi Chris!
I have an O2 XDA Mini S and i am missing the GPS Menue in WM5 and i think it would be helpfull in connecting with my GPS Bluetooth receiver.
It sounds that you know how it is activated so that i can try some changes. Would be nice to hear from you.
Thanks in advance
Carsten

Hello,
I tried your soluce but it doesn't work on my Qtek9100 (Orange SPV M3000). The registry key is changed as shown, but after a soft reset, the "redirect" key reappears and my modifcations are not applied.
Does anyone have an idea ? :roll:
you must make sure that the changes are saved after the registry changes
otherwise as you say nothing happens
Jean,
I had the same thing, couldn't get it to work.
But using PHM regedit and saving the changes it finally did work.
The DWORD “hide” wasn’t in my Qtek.
Cheers
Is anybody able to help with my original question?

lskb: I don't use GPS and don't have one, but I enabled the GPS settings page anyway.
It seems fairly descriptive to me, but I would guess, the Programs page basically deals with programs that have difficulty connecting to certain com ports (ie it's used for com port redirection).
So eg, if TomTom MUST be configured to a GPS receiver on COM2, set your settings in the Programs tab to COM2.
Hardware is the actual "physical" com port the gps receiver is linked to. Again, depends on your bluetooth setup/hardware pairing. But eg if your GPS receiver is connected to COM4, set this to COM4. Baud will typically be dictated by your software/hardware setup.
Access is for apps that don't like sharing the bluetooth/GPS receiver. Leave it as it is, ensure the first two tabs are correct, and if you're having troubles but you're certain they're Tab 1 and 2 are correct, or you know for a fact other people have found it helpful, untick the Access checkbox.

Thanks for that, but I have a question. When you say hardware, you mean something phyiscally connected to the Wizard or by a bluetooth connection? If you mean the latter, then I am not sure that that is correct as the range of selectable baud rates looks wrong.
Thus, my bluetooth gps is installed on an outgoing com port 6 in the bluetooth settings area. The baud rate specified for my gps is 38400. Am I supposed to set the hardware com port to 6 (despite the fact that it is already set in the bluetooth area)? And if yes, how do I set the baud rate, as 38400 is not capable of selection....

well, i have exactly sam eproblems like Iskb. I set the hardware port to com 6. (Vario and Navilock BT unit). Then, when i am trying to connect to my BT module, there is no chance to establish the connection at this given port. I am forced to choose another one (ie COM7). I thought that the GPS manager would work in some way like GPSgate do, but it seems not to be true
make sure in the original com port area the bt modem is not listed on any port,
after you have enabled the com port in the new gps icon and then selected it in the navigator software, change the new gps icon port back to none, and then you can create a "New Outgoing Port" using the original com ports link.
hope this makes sense to somebody :?:
Ive installed my TomTom and its all working now, I can browse through the map and its all good. BUT! Im not recieving any GPS?
I read through a few posts about how to make it work and there was lengthy talk of downloading things to hijack my phone or something?
I thought TomTom was supposed to be compatible with the MDA Vario? Surely there should just be an option to say, CONNECT!
If anyone can explain the simplest way for it to work I would be very happy, Im using tomtom5.2
Well I just installed my TomTom yesterday and connected succesfully with my BT GPS Reciever.
What you have to do is : Enable your BT through the Soft button on the left, or by going to "Start" then "Settings" then "Connecting Tab", click on Bluetooth icon, check the "Bluetooth Enable" ( my device is in german language, maybe I write wrong translation for the words ) then below hit the devices tab, click on the New to check for any near BT device... When your PPC recognises your GPS, click and hold on it in the list, then choose edit (am not sure about the right word since mine is in german lang.) check the Seriel connect... , save it, then you goes back to BT devices list, now below hit the "COM-connects" now you see in a list two lines, choose the first one ( should begin with the word "New..." then choose COM 6 for your BT GPS, save all this... Go to your TomTom and start it, there you have to go to GPS settings and choose the same COM, in our case it is "COM 6", that's it... TomTom should now recognises your GPS.
I hope this helps.
Thanks, I think Im getting somewhere...
I have went onto
bluetooth
devices
new partnership
but all it is finding is something called HOME-C8P8OHXESF ?
When I try and hold down on this and edit it has a section that says
Select services to use from this device
But there is no options to click on ?
Well, the device name that your wizard found doesn't look like a gps, but who knows, maybe this is it's modell's name.
Well I found this tutorial from the TomTom sit itself abou how to configure your GPS to work in any PPC that runs WM5 :
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=188&SID=196&CID=223&Language=1&FID=4806
I hope this helps.
Hi,
My first post here!
I use the following in VB.NET 2005 to obtain a list of available ports in my HTC P3600:
Code:
Dim s As String
For Each s In SerialPort.GetPortNames()
Console.WriteLine(" {0}", s)
Next s
When I run this piece of code, it only finds COM3. I have a ROM in my P3600 that has the GPS activated. GPS is available on COM9, but I don't see this port in the list of portnames. When I connect directly to COM9, I get GPS data, so I know it works.
Any idea why COM9 doesn't show up with the code above? Is this port maybe hidden for developers?

Nobody able to help with this?
hi,
having a problem.. my set behaves as if no GPS is there..
leaft gps dashboard states 0 sats.
googlemaps search and search but 0
it is minutes...
is there something i am missing out? thank you
I take it you have already used program QuickGPS (should already be on your device) and downloaded latest satellite data?
thanks for replying.. yes i did !
com port is 4 under gps settings hardware : com port 0 baud 4800
windows auto manage
Are you indoors or outdoors?
both.. i saw other folks havign this prob.. but i cannot find a real solution.... arrgghhh
Ok, just trying to replicate your problem
Obviously you'll only ever going to pick up satellites if you are outside or close to a window.
Here is a few possible sloutions
Have you tried start ---> settings ----> external gps --->access---> check manage gps automatically?
and in google maps, options-->gps settings---> toggle auto/windows?
Another option is to try a tool by HTC to try and wakeup your gps. Run the file on your HD and from function menu select chip and then q7200. Choose port 4 and baud rate 4800. Then open the port and wait for a gps fix. After that close the port and exit the gps tool. Then run your gps navigator and see if it works!
Also try using HDTweak and go to settings within HD Tweak and set default value for AGPS to Disabled
Also, Advanced Config try turning off Quick GPS Fix

i get mode 2 not fixed.. 0 sats.. just lots of mambo jambo scrolling thru... must i do anything at the cold and hot stuffs?
BTW one wierd thing.. i tried to extract this on pc and ppc.. the file gets extracted.. but i dont see it in file explorer.. but when i try to extract again.. it prompts overwrite...IE the file is there somewhere...
only way to run is in the zip.. but i want to delete the real file in the filesystem too.. weird.. anyone knows?

When I tried GPS funtion the first time, I didn't see any sats for half an hour. Suddenly though, it showed 6-7 sats and since then it have worked. So, don't panik just yet.
(I had to stand still on a bridge with low buildings)
seems like HD's gps chip is kapo..
i miss my n82.. it get fixes in buildings by the window FAST..
pls guide me ,
how do i use the htcgps tool best? there are lots of settings.. mode, set, raw or mssomething, etc etc
open port? test?
what do i do? can i diagnose if my gps is working? does the streaming matrix like codes tell anythings?
it is always mode 2 fix no zero sats in radar
btw y everyone advise off a-gps? isnt it suppose to help greatly

baud should be 115200 ; everything lower let your soft loose connection with the chip evry so-and-such seconds.

You guys seem not to get that a hardwarechip NEEDS a hardware COM. In TT you should use HW= com8 SW = com6 baud = 115200 manage = AUTO ; tell TT to use other NMEA 0183 com6 baud 115200 ....

A-GPS is a software gimmick to load sat-data over internet. TT uses the GPS chip to read this data directly from the sats.

Hi all,
I am developing an application which will get GPS co-ordinates and save in to the database.
I tried a lot with sample GPS code and different code from the internet but in the result latitude is always 0.0 and longitude is as well as 0.0
I got device name on my screen and device state is "on"
I used a third party tool on the same device and it gets actual co-ordinate means GPS is working where i am wrong to configure GPS setting
I do n't know . please help me out
and yeah sorry for my bad English.
Thanking in anticipation
Could you specify language you use? C, C#?
i also wanto get the anser. warting .
