This ROM has been available linked to the Wiki here for a while already. However, this is the official download site for the European HTC P3600, I entered in my IMEI number and downloaded it just for the fun of it.

This is the latest one dated 03.04.07. or there abouts.
This link also gives you free TomTom 6 with one free city map but you can key**n the other maps.

Arent they they the same? your link and the link inside that thread? I dont get it.
BTW it says taster on the site, I assumed its tester or something. A test app perhaps. anyway the link you gave and the link inside are identical.

Fair enough. This link may have been posted before. I was told that there was the new update relesed on 03.04.07 and it was more to alert people of that fact. The link will obviously point to the same place because any new ROM update will be posted there. So if you alrady new this than great and if you did not know about this then even better. I was just trying to help.

Taster??? Do you mean for TomTom? Taster probably means that they will give you a small map to get you interested in TomTom, then you'll have to buy more maps.

Hi all
Does anyone know any other location to download tomtom. I tried to download from this euro site, but it wont let me. It says my s/n is invalid. I'm guessing it's because I did not purchase the phone in Europe (I'm from Australia).
Thanks
Semir

I have not tested this TomTom yet but from what I understud you get fully functional software with one free city map. So if you use key gen for the other maps you should have official version of TomTom for trinity.
BUT I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS YET BECAUSE I AM WAITING FOR MY SD CARD TO ARRIVE!

This is what it is saying on the website:
New features and improvements are available with this operating software update.
GPS receiver capability enabled.
Browser improvements (mobile CSS, WAP, Iframe, etc.).
Bluetooth improvements.
New data network icons to differentiate between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA connections.
Streaming player added.
and that is what I know about it.

Just updated and...
Hi,
Just updated my HTC3600 to ROM 1.23.405.2 and installed the TOMTOM 6 software but I am getting no GPS signal and I dont see anywhere that I can set this up (nothing in settings)

Thanks

You should have GPS settings under preferances. If you go in there and configure under "other NEMA" receiver. On mine it is on com9. It takes a couple of minutes to get "cold" start nut if little yelow and black circle in the top right corner is rotating it has found your GPS receiver. All you have to do now is go outside ar go very near to the window and wait for the "fix".

i think he has the same problem as me. latest belgian rom installed. tomtom 6.030 installed but that is a red herring.
the problem is that the GPS settings in system has disappeared! it was there a few days ago and now its just missing!
i mean start > system tab > GPS (that GPS config software has gone missing!!!)
SOLUTION:
Enable GPS Icon in Setting Tab
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
1. Delete the DWORD marked Hide (if present)
2. Delete the DWORD marked Redirect (if present)
3. Add a DWORD called Group and give it a value of 2
4. Soft reset the device.
Now check in connections...

Maybe because there is no official HTC update for your geographic area...
So far, only DOPOD's clients from Australia New-Zeland, and South-East Asia have got an official update to go further than 1.23.XX series.
But to get back to the point, GPS should already be activated on your ROM.
Further upgrade issue, it's more about, having WM6 or not having it...

SWEET! Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. Even though I'm using the Microsoft one, I still want this one as well.

Great news. Thanks¡

I tried it and couldn't get it working on auto, set the port manually to the software port and it found the GPS but couldn't get a fix, but I was inside. I went outside and it still said 0 found and I was just about to give up and the maps redrew with me as the centre (I always knew I was the centre of the universe lol) So well chuffed.
Thanks for the heads up (BTW handago still have the old version - for uk use www.google.co.uk/gmm )

I also had to configure it manually, but I got a fix!!

Just downloaded. It works on my Advantage.

Yup, Manwell from Barcelona works good for me. I shall have to do a comparison with Live! Maps. Although the Satellite locater in GAps took about 5mins to get a position.

yes..thank you that's what i'm looking for..and now my gps is working..unfortunately there is no map for Malaysia yet..so only can view from satellite view

Yes, it works for me too. Thanks for the update. Had been struggling with the old version, and not being aware of this new version. In many download sites, they still have the old version even now.
My setting that works are as follows:
1) Setting>system>GPS: Program port: none, Hardware Port: COM5 Baud rate 9600, Access: Tick Mange GPS automatically.
2) In google map, Menu>Options>Track Location Settings>Set manually Com5: Baud rate 9600.
Be sure to stand in the open space for a while for the reading to come through.

Google Map 1.2.0.2 Navigational problem
Instead of using my Copilot Live for navigation, I decided to use google map to see how good it is for navigational purposes. I used to to come up with a suggested route to go from my home to a school. Everything goes well and good. I was able to see the blinking dot that indicates my current position. When the dot is outside the unit, it does not automatically shift the map like a normal GPS software would, but not a problem as I could do this manually. The dot is a little difficult to spot if you don't pay attnetion, you may not know where you are on the map. In any case, I could see that it had successfully guided me to the school.
Then, from the school, I planned a route to come home. The map correctly shows a suggested route, and I started driving. After a while, however, I noticed something was not right, because the blinking dot stays at the school even though I have departed. When I reached home, the blinking dot is still at school!
Am I the only one having this problem. Have you guys tried it?

My setting that works are as follows:
1) Setting>system>GPS: Program port: 1, Hardware Port: COM4 Baud rate 115200, Access: Tick Mange GPS automatically.
2) In google map, Menu>Options>Track Location Settings>Set manually Com1: Baud rate 11520.
Be sure to stand in the open space for a while for the reading to come through. - needed to do this.
Interestingly I coulsn't get it to wrk using the hardware ort and had to use the program port - I seem to be the only one doing this so might help someone else who has problems using the hardware port.
Mine is now working fine with Google and TomTom and am indors at the moment and am picking up 5/6 satellites in both

Same thing happened to me. I found that Live Search is a bit faster than Google Maps...but I'm still going to keep both installed. Glad Google Maps got the GPS thing fixed once and for all.

Help! Freedom GPS 2000 Key Chain

Can someone help me with the settings to get my Titan (Alltel) to pair up with the Freedom GPS 2000 Keychain. Please give step by step (include tabs)and also what ports to use.
Also what programs can I use to test the satellite lock.

Why dont you just use the internal gps? you can use visualGPSce to test the satelites or windows live search to get actual gps

NNot using DCD ROM

Killed the internal GPS!

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

isn't the default 4800?

GPS MIUI rom ?

Hi,
Does anyone know the settings for GPS? I live in London and by default when I got installed the rom was NTP server address was America so I changed it to Europe. It works perfectly when on Wireless but when I use my mobile data it says ""Your current location is currently unavailable""
The current GPS Configuration is:
NTP server address:
3.europe.pool.ntp.org
SUPL server address:
supl.google.com
SUPL server port:
7276
Can anyone shine light?

hey
im in south london have the same settings & get an accurate gps lock from a cold start in 30secs or less
if you havent already got it try Leo AGPS Injector v0.5 from tytung:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16384028&postcount=1907
or try using gps status from the market & choose the option download extra data, other than that i couldnt say what the issue is?
also helps to add rom info

Thanks for your reply.
Do you use Leo AGPS Injector v0.5? Or does it automatically detect gps? Do you think it could be due to the lack of gps satellites in my area?

yeh, i use AGPS Injector, only once every 4-5 days, i doubt there would be a lack of satellites over London, if you try gps status it will show you how many satellites there are.

only other thing i can think of is check your settings make sure you have enabled the 3 toggles in the location settings of miui,
also check with your rom chef, see if he can help,
u still havent said which build you're using.

I did at the Developer and no luck.
The rom I am using is HD2_NDT_MIUI_GINGER_DEVELEPMENT_V30.0_MAGLDR_New
I checked the 3 toggles and it was ok.
I think the only thing left is to reinstall the rom
