Hi All,
I was reading on the htc US website that htc touch on sprint is gps enabled. Now does that mean that all htc touch are gps enabled on the hardware side. It is just a question of enabling it on the software side that GPS is not availble in elf.
I believe elf --> htc touch
elfin --> htc touch on sprint.
looking forward to replies

GSM HTC Touch with 64MB RAM/128MB ROM = Elf (no GPS chip)
GSM HTC Touch with 128MB RAM/256MB ROM = Elfin (no GPS chip)
CDMA HTC Touch = Vogue (has GPS chip)
I'm running and using GPS on my HTC Touch right now. I love it!!! Just gotta have the right ROM.

How the hell did you get GPS on the ELF. You can't unless you are using an external BLuetooth GPS on elf. This isn't what the OP was asking. You probably have the VOGUE (CDMA) not ELF (GSM) - Completely different devices even though they look the same and are both called TOUCH
A new ROM does not all of a sudden create a GPS Chip in the ELF to be able to use GPS
Please read as Dsixda has mentioned in his post and no need of any further discussion

I love the Hermes.
Is there a HTC phone with a similar spec (400 mhz) but without the slide out keyboard...and with a built in GPS antenna.
This would cut down the bulkiness of the phone. I find myself using the touch screen keybd more...
Hermes without keyboard and GPS
Hi there,
I believe the HTC device you are looking for is either the 3300 or the 3600, you can see them on the HTC website... www.htc.com
I hope this helps

Sounds like you want an HTC Trinity-based device ... Dopod D810 is how it's marketed here in Australia.
The trinity would be your best bet....
I have an M700 and XDA has helped me loads to get it where it is now. It does everything i need, but the HTC Touch looks better! Materialistic, i know but what the hell.
Don't know much about the HTC Touch, hope thats the right name for it. Seen a picture with a keypad slide down on it. Is that on all models or are there 2 versions?
So anyway, to the point, orange are offering me a upgrade, shall i take it? Presume it has built in gps, a must as i use tom tom on my m700.
Many thanks George
for many parts it's a downgrade

CDMA is commonly used in India, so you have got Touch, but the CDMA version. It's not Elf, but Vogue. It has got faster CPU (400 MHz) and in-built GPS, right? So you're writing in wrong forum.
i am using GSM one HTC Touch....
right now none of the gps software is installed.....
Try TomTom, it's one of best navigation apps.
But do you have and EXTERNAL GPS ?
no i dont have any external gps......
Then, first things first ... you have to buy an GPS to use/configure a GPS

The GSM Touch does not have builtin GPS, like said. You need to buy an external one to use GPS on the phone.
Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone knows Rogers HTC Touch ELF has built GPS and what are the steps to enable it?
Please help me out as I spent so much time search on the net.
Best regards
From what I can tell it doesn't have one. I could be wrong, but I've never found anything on mine. I had to use an external bluetooth one.
Only Vouge has a GPS built in, and Elf doesnt has GPS
As Vouge processor is diferent from Elf.
As i know Elf doesnt have GPS thing.
Don't want to beat it, but here's your answer in English.
The Rogers HTC Touch doesn't have GPS. Only the Telus & Bell versions of the HTC Touch have built-in GPS.
Hey,
im new to all the Smartphone world. I just got a cheap used HTC Touch actually with Vodafone branding. Its the Elfin version as i found out.
My problem is, i am using this nice smartphone as a navagation tool with an external gps reciever. The only problem is, i cant use TMC with it.
I have found a software to add TMC to almost all smartphones, but its required to have a radio antenna. When i read well, this phone has no radio?
The strange part is, i have read some forum posts somewhere and ppl say you can actually use radio on this phone with the original headset S200.
There is not much information out there about this.
So i ask you guys, do you have any idea how i can add this funktion to my phone ?
Thx
Search is your friend

The Elf does not have fm radio, never has, never will. It is not capable as it does not have the hardware; however, if you want to try it anyway - Try the FM Radio cab for the touch diamond.
