what options are there for external gps? is their just a gps receiving antana making gps tracking possible, or do you have to use a full gps system and just use the wing to integrate that data in google maps?

GPS
And the locking is extremely fast
X1 has a built in A-GPS.
I'm not sure why that's important if it's the one or the other...
The X1 has both; GPS and a-GPS
GPS is the normal GPS using signals from satellites. A-GPS uses the telephone pole signals to locate your position. GPS is more accurate than a-GPS but a-GPS is faster.
Update the satellite information using the included QuickGPS application and the locking is even faster. Mere seconds to get a lock.

Not entirely true!
"Assisted GPS, generally abbreviated as A-GPS, enhances the startup performance of a GPS satellite-based positioning system." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-GPS
There are several a-GPS solutions, but those used in pocket pc-s use the GSM or UMTS network to download the almanac data from an assistance server, thus reducing the fix time for the GPS receiver.
So let's be clear: GPS and a-GPS are NOT two different receivers, therefore a-GPS is not less accurate. a-GPS is an enhancement of GPS, and it is commonly used in all pocket pc phones or smart phones equipped with a GPS receiver.
The GSM cell based positining, what you are talking about is used mainly by Google maps, and can be applied on any smart phone without the need of a GPS receiver. The accuracy is very low. This positioning method does not have anything to do with GPS satellite based positioning system.
Anyway it's funny how every post about gps people always argue that agps is internal simple gps but can also be assisted by network.All say the same thing basically but with different words
anyway im soooo happy with the gps of X1
Is the best ive ever seen. and i had n95 8gb tytnII and diamond.
Hardware
Does anybody know the actual hardware used for the gps receiver i.e. SiRF III or something along them lines.

I have read some threads talking about activating the internal GPS.
I installed Google Maps on my Diamond, and worked OK, the GPS signal is great.
Does that meand my internal GPS is activated already?
Thanks
By default GPS is already enabled.....
i think that the activation o the gps denpend on the country that you bought your daimond from like egypt i bought my daimnd fom it and my gps is disabled
deactivate
is there a software to activate/deactivate (save battery) the gps modul???
to turn off gps radio:
start> settings> phone>
select services on the bottom tab.
"get settings" for "location setting"
Hi, I have tried every way to use Google Maps with the GPS signal, not more work, to enable the GPS diamond, so that another program ultilize the internal gps, go to Settings, external GPS, select a port that programs use the gps, ex. com2, that the first flap of the external gps in the last tab, select the option to manage the windows gps, ready, in the GPS program, ex. IGO8, select the COM port you chose in ABA First, it was!

Try a different radio if GPS continues not to be present.
Just got TOMTOM working.
The GPS on this phone is so cool
hi is there anyone who could make virtual gps working on our HP/atom´s?
it works with navigation programs like GPS, but it isn´t so accurate...
virtual GPS
however it seems, that our device have problems with cell tracking - also positioning in google maps don´t work
I have Navigon sat nav on the phone, but it wont activate the gps, I have to use google maps, wait till it finds the satelites, then turn on Navigon to piggy back it, is there a way to get Navigon to activate the onboard gps ?
Set the GPS receiver to another one and change the port and baud rate.
ok thanks, will try
I use a bluetooth receiver (external) for tomtom, mobile maps(sygicmobile) and google maps, but i can not get the external bluetooth gps receiver to work with the application tracker.nl (dutch tracking software)
On the internal gps receiver on my HTY clone it works but the fix is verry slow.
Annyone already have a solution ??
