hi
i tried installing garmin mobile xt and was not aware of the small storage rom avialable to us on snapvue side..
so now im wondering what you guys are using on both the snapvue side and the PC side for gps
and since i have no clue how to transmit gps data (if that is possible) to the windows side so that google earth or some other application can use that..
so be free to elaborate as much as you can
thanks in advance !!!
cheers
For SnapView I use BeeLine gps its really good and small Excelent for basic gps work
franson gps gate with the external btgps III (bluetooth gps receiver), and garmin mobile pc.
I`m using IGO8 PC on XP side with gpsgate (activesync). It`s working perfectly but gps fix takes longer than on other devices that I have.
How do you get the inbuilt GPS on the SnapView side to communicate with the Vista side?

By following this tutorial!
I managed to pair it and it works like a charm.

Hi People,
Until the folks here @ XDA-DEV succesfully hack their way in the Shift to get :
- SD card access
- Bluetooth Access
- Wifi Access
- optional HDD access
it's still impossible to navigate using the WinMo part of this gem.
So.. I installed Microsoft Autoroute 2007 Europe, and tried to connect a bluetooth
GPS to the HTC shift.
- paired my HUDGPS (polaris brand.. also a Heads-Up-Display for in your car!!)
- pairing tells me I got two new serial ports, an SPP and serial port (com4 and com5)
- I start autoroute, configure it to use either com4 or 5, but fails. It says that the comport might actually
already be in use, or , the other port, it says : cannot open comport.
Usually, I'm not easily defeated, so I changed the comports in the device manager to 21 and 22 to
see if I could make it work this way.
Still no joy, it even deleted all comports without my consent, and had to de-pair and re-pair (aha!)
the Bluetooth GPS to get my comports back.
Even after that, I just cannot get Microsoft Autoroute 2007 to work with the BT GPS.
I will post more info (can I use other software etc...) soon, maybe someone already tried
to install navigation stuff and has a few comments.
Also, if you still own a fossil PDA like the Kaiser, checkout http://www.reperion.com/newclient

i don't want to disappoint you, but the WM side of the shift is a kaiser.
I haven't tried Microsoft's GPS navigation software, mainly because they don't have the maps (even if they did, it probably would be rather outdated) for my country.
For what it's worth, I have installed both Garmin Mapsource coupled with its nRoute program, as well as MapAsia's MapKing GPS navigation programs on my Shift, paired with my GSpace GPS receiver via BT, and both programs work. I use a "third party" gateway - Franson's GPSGate - as a go between, between the GPS receiver and both software.
Works flawlessly.

Automapa EU works well on vista side. Cheked with Rikaline GPS 6036 - SiRF Star III SOC v2 and GPS GB735 NAVIBE both without any problems
Sygic 7.53 and Igo 8 working fine on Vista side (with usb and bt gps receiver)
How do you use Igo on Vista?

I'm not dissapointed at all I actually own a Kaiser. It was more or less a joke, badly brought, I agree
By the way, thank you people for posting about your successes, this means I'm doing something wrong. How hard can it be to pair a GPS and use it ?
I'm using MS Streets and Trips 2008 (North American equivalent to Autoroute) with a Holux GPSlim240 and it is working flawlessly. I can't remember much but didn't have any issues/quirks during set up. I've just used it a couple of times to test but not since, 'cause I have a 7in touchscreen built-in nav in my car that has traffic updates through Sirius sat radio here (no need for internet), but I still like the option of course
ah ha
finally found somebody has same problem with GPS receiver with Autoroute 2007.
but seems there isn't a clear solution for this issue.
seems like the Autoroute is the problem, i tried with GPS Viewer with Correct port it recognises the gps unit and correctly indicates cordinates.
if i can't find solution soon i will try to find another software as successful users found.
Im the starter of this post, here's the promised update !
Autoroute 2007 just WON'T work on the Shift. I tried a million different combinations of COM ports and security settings, no joy,
As soon as I try to use another GPS program like VisualGPS CE it will connect to the bluetooth receiver just fine.
My best bet is that Autoroute 2007 needs a GPS receiver that is Microsoft Compatible in contrast with the other 99% GPS programs
Will download a trial of Automapa EU now. THanks everyone.

I've got it working with the Bluetooth TomTom GPS receiver.
No problems with it.
could you share with us your port settings and , by any chance, does your GPS say it's 100% NMEA 2.0 compliant ?
a creensie of your BT Comport section would be nice

Hmmm...does this mean a Kaiser ROM could be flashed to it?

No, it means it is technically the same hardware (qualcomm msm7200) with different HTC PID, different aux devices, etc. So ROMs are *NOT* compatibles.
Hi,
I'm trying to connect the Nokia GPS LD-3W with Microsoft MapPoint.
I can get a connection between Vista an the LD-3W via BT.
Set to COM3 and COM4.
When I try to configure the GPS in MapPoint I see both COMs with the text no GPS hardware found.
Any hint????
Thanks
Ommog
check my other post about Autoroute
I have same problem with Autoroute 2007.
The Bluetooth implementation on the Shift is not as good as it could be.....
But on the other hand, I can connect with www.visualgps.net software
Try the software from VisualGPS (free) and please tell if that works. If it does, not only Autoroute, but also Mappoint is messing it up !
Autoroute is part of MapPoint and I guess it's no problem with the Shift,
becaus on my Dell Latitude 830 it doesn't run too.
With other tools like G-Tool I can connect without problems, so it's more a problem with Microsoft MapPoint & Autoroute.
I found a problem on running Garmin Mobile XT 5.0.2 with Touch 3 G.
It does not show satellite signal at all but is able to navigate to destination.
Quite annoy on this. Anyone know how to fix it.
Use IGO2008, better navigation IMO And works very well on Jade.
I have the same "problem" with tomtom 7. Doesnt show data but works fine for navigating so i dont really care that much.
Have tried IGO 8 already. Feature is very good and better than Garmin but Thailand map for Garmin has more detail and POI.
I think this is a bug of GPS software (Tom Tom & Garmin ) with chipset Qualcomm. Not sure when HTC will launch the patch to fix this

Agreed, happen to me also....u cant see the GPS signal strength but the navigation working great.......
How on earth did people got IGO8 working?, I tried it, but the program looks like its starting but then disappears without any trace.
TT7 also does not show the satgraphs, but without that it does works fine.
I have disabled aGPS btw.
Found the solution now.
Garmin Taiwan just launched GMXT V5.00.00 Asian Version.
Have tested with 3G and it work very well. Also you can modify to your local language (Asian only)

May be you have problems with licenses. Also, if you are using an unoriginal IGO, you have to disable the animations.
Hi Jankos, I also tried it with no luck (8.000 and 8.3.2.6). Can't it be a problem in the sys.txt or data.zip ?
Thanks

Just you need a different license.
Use the license file from 8.3.1 54384.
While installing the 8.3.2.64873, I resolved the issue by using above versions license file.

Try this ... use GPS Intermediate Driver instead of Comm 4.
Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20W
Hi All,
I had Garmin Mobile XT 4.xx.xx work perfectly on my Touch 3g. But today, I have upgrade Garmin to 5.00.20w but it is not working. It could not detect my internal serial port (com 4). Inteads, it locks to GPS intermediate driver always. What could be the issue? Can anyone help? Thanks.
Hi!
I have installed and configured the Franson GPS gate program on both Vista and WM side.
It connects, and it shows me that GPS data is coming in but it doesn't give me a fix on my position. When viewing the GPS tool program on WM side after a long while it manages to connect to one sattelite.
I have a Xperia which gives me a fix on my location almost instantly.
Does anyone know how to get the GPS to connect to the sattelites?
I was wondering if installing the quick GPS cab which is shipped with a lot of new devices.
Help appreciated
Hi, I opened a igo PC at a resolution of 800x480 so if you ever want so that anyone exposed. Otherwise, it works well with the GPS chip HOLUX M-1200E Bluetooth connections. Everything is the current map of the whole of Europe and poi points.

Hi zpev!
Did you install iGo and the maps on the WM side and it works? If so, this must be an absolutely special edition of iGo, very, very thinnnnnnnn.....
If talking of Vista side with Bluetooth Holux GPS, then I must confess that it is for the first time that I learn about iGo for Windows. Absolutely great....
Could you plase come back with details tomorrow on the 2nd of April ....
Ano igo 8 funguje pod windows
Howdy axel TP2, yes igo works through Windows 7 vista there is not available, but I think the iGO vistama will work. Thus, the summary ... Igo 8 works via bluetooth HOLUX chip and the windows. As I have time someone exposed to it.
Igo 8
Howdy, I'm here to give it igo 8 so we can ride, but somehow it does not not know why?

Hi zpev! How are you progressing with your iGO on Win7, is it working now? If positive, please give us some details.
IGO 8.3 win 7
Hi,
Yes igo 8.3 works without problems. Only the need for an external GPS chip I bought from my company and Holux works excellent and without problems.
