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

yea was wondeing how would u enable the unit to be able to be used as a gps device and software nessaary
There is no GPS hardware built in. You need to use a bluetooth gps receiver and software with maps like TomTom mobile.
thanks so tom tom will work for USA use..also any car cradle options
Hey there,
Am I the only one having to wait a very long time before I'll be actually getting a GPS fix? Using TomTom Navigator 6 on the X7500 is really a struggle, since it takes the built-in GPS 5+ minutes to actually have a fix.
This goes for both WM5 and 6.
Now, what are the best GPS settings to use?
What COM port (4 and 5 are both working for example) and at what baudrate?
Thanks!!
Goto the settings menu, choose GPS, pick a comport (Any Comport), set the Baudrate to 4800. Go into Tomtom and setup the GPS to use the same settings. The 1st GPS lock takes a bit of time, however after it loks subsiqent
locks are faster.. So to answer your question.. Yes, its "Just you".
A 9600 baud rate settings also works.
Orbit2-- GPS cannot be detected with IGO PLS HELP?!?!?
I have a HUGE problem with getting my GPS running on my Orbit2. It came from O2 with CoPilot7 preinstalled with the maps of UK and Ireland, which I dont use, because I am not located inthere, nevertheless Copilot detects GPS signal and shows positioning, but i dint have the maps for the area that i am in.
I tried to install IGO6 and then IGO8 but I have the same problem-- it cannot detect GPS device, no matter what which COMM Port and BAUD Rate I select.
How come CoPilot detects, and IGO does not? I read that Orbit2 is not locked?!?
Should I boot the whole device using some other ROM.
This may be a silly question but, have you configured the GPS in iGO?
So you are not in Europe? I ask because the CoPilot Disk allows any country (or the whole) of europe (or is that just western, can't remember).
IGO has an option to auto detect the best settings, that is what you should use.
I use IGo with Orbit2 and it works!
Use Autodetection or set the Com-Port to 4 and Baud to 57600...
Does anyone know or is it possable that the MDA is capable of running a GPS? I tried to put TOM TOM on it, but it kept saying can't find any maps. Has anyone had any luck in trying to put one on thier device?
I have a bluetooth GPS receiver and have TOM TOM on a storage card and it runs great. The maps cost money and you can manage them through the TOM TOM home application on your pc.
I have IGo installed and use an Asus BT GPS receiver, works fine.

Most people use Bluetooth GPS receivers for this kind of thing. The wizard does not have a GPS radio in it though, so you have to use an external GPS receiver.
If you're willing to sacrifice accuracy and automation for step-by-step directions that you manually step through, try Google Maps. In addition to being a very good (and very FREE) mapping tool, it can do radio triangulation so, if you're utterly lost, it can at least show you where you are within about 2000 meters. Much better than nothing at all.
I got lost once on the way to an acquaintance's house, and used Gmaps. By typing in the street address where I was lost at, and the desired destination, it got me back on track in a real hurry. Indispensable for those without funds for GPS receivers.
Hi there,
I'm terribly newbie with Jade, so sorry........
I have installed TomTom navigator 7 but GPS doesn't work (I cannot fix sats).
Which GPS must I set in TT configuration?
- integrated GPS receiver
- cabled receiver
- other receiver GPS NMES
And what about com port??
thanks

see in this post
integrated GPS receiver is the one.
When testing, dont expect it to work indoors...
Thank you, that's right for the internal receiver.
Now I've got another problem: I cannot see the sat bar during navigation (I can see the bar but it's empty - no sats locked, even if TT is working right) and I cannot see locked sats in GPS status menu.........
Moreover, when I select a destination if I press "C" letter (only C, with other letters everything is ok) TT stops working and I must reset it.
Can you help me please?
My TT version is 7.450.9028
Thank you
Hi,
