I'm using using GPS viewer to start the GPS on COM4 at 4800 then fire up Tomtom and was wondering if there is a way to create a batch file to do that automatically by the click of one button?

Exactly what i was looking for!
Thank you

Hi,
Had a quick search for this on here and google but had no joy.
I have just upgraded to TT6 and noticed that when I start it up it no longer turns the volume on for the PDA like how TT5 used to. Any ideas??
Also is there any registry settings or app that would make tomtom (or any other program) start up once it detects the device is being charged?
Thanks in advance
Neil
Hi Neil,
MortScript would be a good tool to use for this.
You could write a simple script that detects when the device is on external power and then launch the 'TomTom Navigator.exe'.
Cheers,
Dave.
Hi !
I installed the GPS-enabled ROM - and via RegistryEditor the GPS Icon in the Control Panel.
But when I install TomTom it doesn`t display the build-in GPS Receiver.
So I installed the TomTom Update for PocketPCs - then - the built-in GPS receiver is there - but TomTom is updated in a way that I have to
activate the maps again -
Is there a way to use the GPS-receiver for TomTom - but without updating TomTom - respectively activate the maps again ??
thx

If you activated your maps with the "old" version of tomtom, it should be no problem to activate them again with the "new" version, should it?
But you can use the GPS with the "old" version, you just have to select "other NMEA" and it will work...
tomtom hangs - with NMEA GPS
Hi !
I tried to...
I selected "other NMEA GPS" - 115000 bauds - COM9...
then I have to agree to the terms...after pressing "I AGREEE" it hangs and closes the application.
does anyone have an idea ??
thx

And exactly HOW LEGAL is your copy of TomTom , and which version exactly are u using ?
I'm using v6.030 and it works without any quirks...
there's an update on TomTom's website for the HTC P3600/Trinity...i installed it and that solved my problem. you can also search xda-developers for a link to the cab file. hope this helps.
Hi,
Did anybody try to use GPSGate together with GarminQue?
I have a problem with GPSGate 2.5.0.210.
I installed it on HTC X7500 with WM6, the installation was perfect, I created input/output ports. On input I see "GPS data is coming in", then I created out "Virtual COM1/Garmin Emulator" and for the first time it shows "Running OK", but when I start Garmin Que and configure this port as GPS port, Que just says "GPS is Off". I tried to push button "Connect to GPS" but it doesn't help.
At the same time GPSGate shows "No clients connected" in output page.
I tried to create COM2 at the same time, tried to change COM1->COM9 but it doesn't help too.
If somebody has any ideas, please let me know.
Oleg.
Could be the QuickGPS messing around?
Try to unconfigure QuickGPS, is in the Start / Settings / System.
Once you unconfigure that, the hardware port for GPS on Athena/X7500 is COM5 at 4800, so you need to configure that in GPSGate as input (?) and then the virtual port you want to use as output... COM1 or COM2 are good choices. Maybe COM0 but some programs got troubles with that.
Other choice could be try to not to stop the QuickGPS and use COM4 as input and again COM1 or COM2 as output. Not sure if this will work. Other programs llike GPSBlue or GPSProxy allows to do that so you keep the quick finding of sats.
That´s the solution, majhong! How are you?
With search engine i found you and i tried to unconfigure quickGps (SIFenabler in A701). Now, Garmin Que, C-eMap and PTGMap run ok without problems of gps comunication. I`ve changed position of SIFenabler, from Start Up to Start Menu. Now quickgps don´t run i start of windows.
Best regards and thanks

I need help!
I can install Garmin XT in HTC Diamond but it didn´t work.
When I try to configure the com port it returns to "none".
select GPS Intermediate Driver instead of a COM port.
The problem is with the GPS hardware port, not with the program port, in HW port can find only com ports.
i have it set to "Use serial GPS" and there are COM4 and COM7 (COM7 is BT)..and when it's set, it shows "COM:4 COM4:"
Garmin GT
Yes, you can install and use Garmin on your HTC Diamond. I'm using this GPS sw. You need to "crack" the sw, and get a serial associated to you device.. I will try to put a doc next weekend (in spanish.. sorry) to install and use de sw..Be patience
The answer is: turn off A-GPS, the GPS with Garmin XT works well now

//nortonnc: have you solved your problem?
I dont need gpsgate anymore because i own legally purchased maps and in this case garmin works with no problem .But i think new Garmin mobile xt V5 work also without garmin gps reciever on Diamond.
I have same problem too, I already installed garmin+map, but it always show searching for satellites, nothing happen, how to config the garmin? and is there any config needed from the phone? plase the answer, thanks.
sorry for my bad english.
hi, i no that the x1 does not have a built in GPS.
but i have seen videos where ppl actually use it as a gps.
maybe they install sum sort of application into the phone?
can any1 please explain how does GPS work on the x1?
THanks alot, any information is greatly appreciated...
X1 has built-in GPS so you can use Tom-Tom, Garmin, iGo, ...
Just install the program (garmin, tomtom, iGo or something else for windows mobile). If you won't be able to connect with GPS satellite just do the hard reset on the phone. Than go to Quick GPS in your programs and download the latest gps positions.

Wow sounds like someone just got the X1 out of the box.
1. Go to Start > Settings > System > GPS Settings (or something with GPS)
There you can select what COM port the GPS chipset will use to communicate with the OS or any other software.
2. Use the "HTC GPS tool" to see if you get GPS signals outdoors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
The X1 doesn't come with any GPS applications installed, but you can add a number of other programs that use the GPS facility.
For example, you can install TomTom Navigator 7, Garmin Mobile 20 or iGo8 for turn-based car satnav.
Or you can use the phone as a GPS locator for something like Geocaching (GPS based treasure hunts). GCz2 / Geocaching
Or you can use Google Maps to find out where you are and let your friends know with Latitude. Google Maps with Latitude
Or you can use the GPS facility to "geotag" photos, that is embed the location where the picture was taken inside the image data. Footprints
so is it normal that when using google map, i cant find any satellite??
if you enabled gps in googlemaps
and of cause stand outside as gps generally don't work in doors
only outside and in cars and the likes
