GPSGate with Garmin Que

Hi,
Did anybody try to use GPSGate together with GarminQue?
I have a problem with GPSGate 2.5.0.210.
I installed it on HTC X7500 with WM6, the installation was perfect, I created input/output ports. On input I see "GPS data is coming in", then I created out "Virtual COM1/Garmin Emulator" and for the first time it shows "Running OK", but when I start Garmin Que and configure this port as GPS port, Que just says "GPS is Off". I tried to push button "Connect to GPS" but it doesn't help.
At the same time GPSGate shows "No clients connected" in output page.
I tried to create COM2 at the same time, tried to change COM1->COM9 but it doesn't help too.
If somebody has any ideas, please let me know.
Oleg.

Could be the QuickGPS messing around?
Try to unconfigure QuickGPS, is in the Start / Settings / System.
Once you unconfigure that, the hardware port for GPS on Athena/X7500 is COM5 at 4800, so you need to configure that in GPSGate as input (?) and then the virtual port you want to use as output... COM1 or COM2 are good choices. Maybe COM0 but some programs got troubles with that.
Other choice could be try to not to stop the QuickGPS and use COM4 as input and again COM1 or COM2 as output. Not sure if this will work. Other programs llike GPSBlue or GPSProxy allows to do that so you keep the quick finding of sats.

That´s the solution, majhong! How are you?
With search engine i found you and i tried to unconfigure quickGps (SIFenabler in A701). Now, Garmin Que, C-eMap and PTGMap run ok without problems of gps comunication. I`ve changed position of SIFenabler, from Start Up to Start Menu. Now quickgps don´t run i start of windows.
Best regards and thanks

COM 8 - is it the GPS port ?

While playing with Google Maps Mobile and HTC GPS Tool on WM6 side of the shift, I've got some reaction on COM port 8 with baudrate at 19200 and below.
2 times I had the impression, that Google Maps will show me the exact position after initialising the port. HTC GPS Tool (V. 1.1.1.0) hangs by open this port without any message.
What's behind this COM port 8 on WM6?

the GPS is on COM4 @ 57600.

I just tried using the HTC GPS tool with these settings but I continue to get a "Open COM Port Failed" message. Any tips on how you got that to work? Or is it only through Google Maps Mobile?

I just flashed a rom where GPS works out of the box.
there will be a publicly available custom rom that will of course have it working too

sweeeeeeet!
I will wait with bated breath

sweet. gps enabled shift. can't wait for the rom. If there's some beta testing to be done, I can put my shift in line...

Installing GPS apps
@ CMONEX : just dropped you a PM, if you need betatester...
I just installed PocketReperion GPS Tracking and Photo-Uploading tool
( http://ww.reperion.com/newclient ) and pointed it to COM4 at 57600 baud, no joy (yet)
I also enabled the GPS settings ICON in SETTINGS to enable hardware on port 5, and make a virtual port 4. ALso no joy,
what are the registry settings to enable this GPS ?

Help with Gps!!!

Hi, i have a Htc touch Diamond and i have a problem with my gps.
When i go into the settings, then system and then external GPS i make the gps programport to com 4 and the hardware to com 3 and the baud- speed to 4800 ( have tryed serval hardware ports programports and baud-speed adjustments) but when press the OK button in the corner of the screen and go into the external GPS again, the programport is still on com 4 but when i go into the hardwareport it says (in the small box were you can choose com 1 - 9) "nothing" (it might not be the word in english because im am danish so i havent put it on english) Is there really a thing i have missed? and btw, i have tryed with and without the auto administrate GPS I really hope you can help me!

Leave the settings alone
Just connect to Com 4 at the default baud rate with your software.

The com4 in programport or hardware?

The hardware tab is used only when using external GPS hardware. If you are using the Diamond's built-in GPS, it uses the setting on the Programs tab, and you can ignore the Hardware tab.

I have it on (checked). I have only used the GPS with Google Maps, and it works fine for me. The settings in Google Maps are to let Windows control it.

hmmm
okay thanks again

- create in the registry
1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC and add new key NaviSW
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\NaviSW and add new string value
Value name: MiddleLayerDLL
Value data: NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll
- after that take a Soft Reset

All done but when tapping navigate to my pda hangs & I've to soft reset
are theese settings corrects?
Value name: MiddleLayerDLL​Value data: NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll​
thanks
enrico

I can confirm that this works - at least it did for me with TT7!

TomTom should already be running in the background for this to work. This is very annoying as who wants TomTom running in the background.

Hi,
Is this true?
As a check I've just performed a soft reset to ensure that nothing is running and then selected the M2D Footprints tab followed by Menu -> Navigate To.
TT7 then fired up (indicated by the TT7 splash screen) before going off to look for a valid satellite signal.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that TT7 wasn't running in the background until the menu selection launched it.
Neil

huh, well, i guess i had something wrong with my setup then.

my tomtom wont's start,
when i select with footprint an image and then Menu -> Navigate To seems that somthing wants to start ( windows loading logo appears ) but after a few seconds all is out of work , i've to reset the phone

Please neil can you share your configuration indicate your rom ?
Thanks

what version are you using of tomtom

Hi
I use TomTom versione 7.915 (9196) from IOLITE.
Previous versione work ok (7.910).
Thanks
Daniele

Has anyone managed to get TomTom 7.915 working correctly with any version of Footprints on a Polaris ?
EDIT: OK so it seems TomTom 7.915 just will not work correctly with Footprints. Turns out Tomtom 7.910 DOES WORK perfectly, the only thing you are losing out on is 'navigate > to > photo' in Tomtom 7.915 (but who needs it because that was footprints is for)
I have attached, what should be, the HTC version from Diamond (slightly modified to work with other devices).
EDIT 2: Ok so I cant seem to upload the file. I have saved it to my 4shared here

in tab hardware?every i'm change baud / port after clik OK (to save i think), on hardware tab port back to (none) and baud rate back to 4800

:O could u be more precise ?! anyone else understood and have a solution ? make settings only in iGO , the phone itself is alredy OK !

1. find QuickGPS from Start manu, click and download a loccation file
2. use Google Map, and 'enable GPS'
3. under clear sky, and allow time for first time connection
4. if no luck, try a hard reset to factory default and try above again

Hi, go to Start -> Settings -> System -> External GPS (or similar, got a non-English Touch2) and check the settings for GPS.
Use this settings in your programs/apps, then it should work.
Hope this helps,
