I have a rhodium and every time i try to get a navigation program working it cant find the gps receiver, I have tried changing the external gps settings but, im not sure what im changing them to.
make sure the settings in your navi programs match your settings in external gps settings

Hello, I've read a few posts that mention a GPS control panel, one in particular gave a registry change to enable it, so I popped into the registry to turn it on, but it was already on.
My question is where is the GPS control panel? I've got TomTom on the way, so would be good if it worked!
I'm running the latest Imate ROM on my Wizard.
Cheers.
start-settings-connections tab.
Sorry, I should have said, 'why isn't it there', not 'where is it', but don't worry, I did a search and found the answer - the first registry tweak I read didn't tell me to delete the 'redirect' DWord. Deleted it and it's appeared.
Can anyone explain why it's not there by default and if it causes any problems by being hidden like this with installing GPS Devices and Navigation software?
Is there anything else hidden that I might want to turn on?
Cheers.
I own a Magician not a Wizard. I also have TT with original TT BT GPS receiver and it worked straight out of the box - no registry tweaks.

because it probably has no use with BT GPS systems. Its there because WM5 natively supports GPS systems that are built into the device, like the HTC Galaxy
Similar to GPS Gate
It's functionality (from what I've read) is supposed to be like "GPS Gate". The idea being you have one GPS receiver connected to your PPC, but you're able to "share" the GPS data with more than one application. I was only able to get it work properly with ONE piece of software (Mapopolis). You do not need it to run TomTom. I'm not sure why it doesn't work with other applications though. If I were you, I would not mess with it.
I won a 614c ....hmm lucky guy

thanks man!
what abouit igo 2008. r u using it ? mine still cannot detect satelites
I'm sorry to say we don’t have igo 8 yet
any way I cannot say I have tried it myself
but from what I have heard if you go to your device program file/igo 8 you will find a sys.txt
add these lines to what you already have there in the txt using your home pc then the program will work
pleas note that you need to have one line blank before adding
[gps]
port=6
baud=57600
set_messages=0
pleas edit the text and report
good luck

hmm I managed to start it jsut 2 times (igo2008) -> i mean the gps signal
from that time on, it stopped detectig sattelites
it's so stupid. I will try for a change with igo2006 and keep u updated.
are there any twaks that I can make to work better with my GPS/ sattelites as I don;'t have quick gps ?
can I get quick gps and install/configure from a another WM6 device ? (a friend has here a HTC touch cruise, everything works fine for him with quick gps+igo2008 )
and, can I make registry tweaking or smf, so that everytime I write sms, I automaticlly have : ABC instead of T9 ?
thanks!

if i-go 8 has problems with identifying the gps you didn't follow my instructions correctly
good luck
ok man I will try all again
maybe also hard reset the device and install everything again
thanks for your hlp !
...tried it yet
still nothig. I start to think that the problem is the space that I have outside the office. maybe its causing not to find the sattelites.
do you know what settings I need to have, in SETTINGS > EXTERNAL GPS ?
thanks!
I have
Nav N Go iGO 8 v8.3.2.64873
TomTom 7 - v7.910.9185
and for both of them, when I try to start the program... the cursor change to busy for a short while and then nothing happens...
I've had a quick look at both the iGO and TomTom 7 topic but didn't find any clue... and didn't want to post the same thing in each topic...
If anyone know how to fix it... please help.
Thanks
How have you got the settings configured?
I set the port to COM4 on Programs in External GPS.
If you mean tomtom/igo setting then i can't get in the program yet...
on iGo8, i can see the blue screen with the fancy number 8, but then it quits...
nothing whatsoever with tomtom...
some one help please....

I am using tom tom 7.450.9028 and it works good
I set my GPS hardeware port -> (none)
and set programs port to com9
I had some issues with my GPS and Quick GPS, I had enabled in use the Advance Config program, turning it off and it all started to work nicely.
Hi
Try this GPS test program - it automatically scans all ports for any GPS device and sets up the comms link.

Good luck, D
I had same problem with iGO.
I used the rar on XDA/ IGO8 and Htc HD/Blackstone page 66 and it's better.
Now it starts but get stuck into "initialising warning data".
I'll try 2 or 3 reset as some other users report it has worked after 2-3 resets.
My device has the GPS on port 4, so setting this very same port in the External GPS port doesn't seem to me as correct way.
Have you tried setting different COM port in the External GPS?
no.... i dont set anything with External GPS for Hardware, only tried Program with COM4... even tried with no port at all...
btw, I have no problem when using GPS on google maps, it turn on and track just fine...

hi, the iGO_for_HD.rar link doesnt work...
I downloaded a free GPS logger proggy that looks for the GPS on a COM port. Using the External GPS menu in Settings > System, I then changed the COM port to 7 so that WM presented the internal GPS on COM7 which is what this particular piece of software required, but it didn't work.
I cut my losses as i wasn't all that bothered and returned the setting to its default (none).
TomTom will no longer find my internal GPS device, nor can I get any other application to find it...
Short of a hard reset, is there anything else that anyone can think of trying? I can't seem to find the configuration of the internal GPS on the net so I can at least try and get HTC GPS Tool to find it...
If anyone out there knows the COM port, and baud rate of the internal GPS, I would be most grateful.
If anyone out there knows the registry keys modified/created by the External GPS settings menu, I would be even more grateful, and indeed if deleting said keys solves my problem would be willing to donate actual real money.
Thanks in advance.
should be port 4 with 57600 baud rate

Help me, please. Thanks heaps !

Hey,
(Thinking it could be daylight saving time).
- I searched on the internet and I found a few things you could try. You could update your device with through this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx
- You can try to put daylight saving time off in Outlook through
Tools | Options | Preferences | Calendar Options | Time Zone
(I found this on an old threat on the internet so I am not sure it will work, the link:
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=146800)
But before I continue is it the GPS clock or the whole phone? Did you ever connect the phone with a USB cable to a computer?

Yup, its the GPS clock which is shown in several GPS map software I mentioned above. The clock of whole phone is still set correctly
I did try to disable my daylight saving time(DST) by "advance config tool" from xda - developer but its not the solution. >> do you think that GPS signal, its self, contains a time data including DST.
Infact, my local time (+ 7 GMT Bangkok, Hanoi) is not observed by DST but GPS clock still run as if the DST is applied, one hour ahead of local time
Hey,
I really do not have a clue what the problem would be. I thought that GPS just tracked location and not time. Anyway I searched on this forum with the searchkey "GPS TIME". Maybe the following topic is helpfull:

Ps. I often update my GPS with the preinstalled ("quickgps")

In Settings from Navi-software. Maybe different in the Navisofts, for instance iGO in sys.txt or in Settings-menu, TomTom only in Settings-menu.

unfortunately, both of my Gps software (Vietmap17, papagox3) dont have setting funtion for this. Hence I have to edit some registry info, dont I ?
Sorry, don´t know both GPS-Apps. Maybe a reg-setting or a config-file.
Can't you try to call the service centre of the GPS software? Even if it is illegal you can try.

Yup, they are legal sofwares, I called service centre of Vietnam17 software. However they dont know much, too disappointed. Maybe, I will try to email Papagox3 service center about my matter.
