The Prophet is SDIO compatible, but this is going to be pretty useless to you though. If your going to use the SD Slot for the GPS, you will have no storage. You can store TomTom or other GPS software on main memory, but what about the maps? Depending on where you are in the world your looking at roughly 100MB to 200MB for the maps and extras.
You need to get a bluetooth GPS and a good size fast SD card, to really benefit from SAT NAV. I have tried TomTom and Igo, both do a good job on this phone.
heyNewSPV,
thanks for your reply...makes sense...
What are my GPS options for this phone?
I know it has the GPS chip in it for E911 but can I use TomTom too?
The Sprint phone offers GPS.. is it with the built in chip?
Which software is this?
Thanks,
J

I have no idea what you are really asking or what the problem is, but...
If you dont use the internal GPS it stays off. Turn off the MS software GPS port management and set the com port manualy in whatever software to the correct one for the GPS unit you use.
The internal one is Com5 9600 bps I think. Just dont set that and you wont use it (assuming the ms software gps management is off too).

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.
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 ?
