thanks

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.
Cheers

Excellent cheers for that..
I just installed Igo8 on my touch, the program launches but can't find GPS receiver... does anyone have a clue?
I have my ports setting correct in the system setting I've tried to autoscan but no go.
Are you using an external GPS? If not, then it won't find anything as the GSM Touch does not have a GPS chipset.
I have the CDMA iphone from Sprint.
Interal GPS works when using with LIVE etc..
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

Bug: gps signal NOT visible with A-GPS, bluetooth GPS perfekt signal strength visible
GPS port: COM4
work, tested!

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 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 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 ??
