using internal gps with other sw

Hello! on my ita w5 trinity i can use gps with tomtom (htc bundle), and works fine.
But, when i try to use internal gps with other sw, like vito astro or gps utilities, i can't found it! so, there is some way to activate, monitor internal gps or there is some option to use ??
sorry for my poor english...
thank's to everyone...
trinity, rom 1.23.408.2, radio 1.38.00.11

The GPS is available on COM9.
I am working on a little piece of software that uses the GPS. Luckily, I found out that the GPS can be accessed through COM9. However, if you do a software search (I use VB.NET), then COM9 is not listed as available. So, it might be that other software also don't show this port.

hi try looking on the forum for a programme called "GPS TEST"

Thank's to all, i've found com9, after a lot of tries......
it works with more sw.... weeelllll !!!

GPS problem after ROM upgrade

Hi
I just flashing my cruise with the new official HTC Rom(French).
Now my gps won't work anymore. Everytime i setup my GPS port(com1-com9)in parameter "External GPS", the parameter are not saved.
Tomtom say: "no GPS device"
any idea
Thanks
PS: sorry for my bad english!!!

After flashing always make a HARD reset ( push gps button and explorer button and reset button with stylus then push green button 2 times ) and it 'll solve all your probleme

Thanks
but i does not change anything.
I just perform a hard reset and always unable to save my gps port parameters.
any other idea?

Your gps doesn't work or you can't save the port on windows gps settings?

i can't save the hardware port on windows gps settings

Why do you want to save it , when you launch tomtom/igo they found the gps automaticaly and it works fine.

There might be a problem with the settings in "External GPS" (under "connections" menu).
In my case it shows COM4 (programs tab) / (none) (hardware tab) / Manage GPS automatically (access tab)
And ofcourse both Tomtom and IGO8 are configured to use COM4.

if i am not configuring the GPS com port, tomtom are not able to find GPS device: "No GPS device found"
I try "Integrated GPS Device" and " GPS NMEA" with the same result.
I use TomTom 7.450.9028

I also use TomTom 7.450.9028 (and iGO8) with no problems........
My device is configured to use programs => COM4, hardware => (none) as I told you. Sorry if I can't help you more than this.........

i try the same parameter as you... and it works!!!
thanks

Nice to have helped you!

Radio 1.59.42.15 seems to play havoc with Destinator
After upgrading a Polaris to the most recent HTC Official WM6.1 ROM (Portuguese) I started having problems with Destinator 7.
The device detects the GPS signal and then loses it every 20 seconds or so. If you go back to the GPS settings in Destinator, you see that the GPS Antenna is OK, with 7 or satellites, and then you go back to the map and it works for a while (another 20s) before it loses GPS signal again.
I tested this on 3 HTC Cruise and it is always the same.
I tried upgrading the radio but that didnt work because Radio 1.64.xx.xx doesnt seem to work on this ROM (no sound on calls, poor GSM/3G reception).
I also tried Radio 1.58.21.23, and that still gives me problems with GSM/3G.
Here is the info on the HTC ROM
R 1.59.42.15
G 25.69.30.05H
D 3.13.00.00
Has anyone been through this and found a way out?
Thanks
Andre

Did you try this Radio Rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2787760&postcount=262
It seems to be a better/newer one

Tried the ROM but
Scotty, thanks for the suggestion - that didn´t help, though.
Now, here´s the funny part: I decided to use Destinator 6 and guess what? It worked like a charm: 8 satellites in 30s, no loss of signal. Go figure!
Destinator 7 works on all other HTC devices and used to work on the BetaPortuguese ROM I had. I don´t really understand why the radio messes up with GPS so much. Still, I´m glad I found a solution.
Thank you for the support!

I guess Tomtom you are using is for WM 6.1. X2 using WM 6.5. I use garmin XT on my HTC Kaiser (WM 6.1) and my X2 and have no problem whatsoever.

I Don't think so,because My SE.X1 runing window 6.5 too , but it can Down load the city map and run good with TOM TOM 7.7.9.10 Navigator
only X2 won't work,I fell so bad,can you tell me how to get the GAMIN.XT APP and North America MAP,and how to Install to X2,Thanks you very much.

Since you ask here and not at Tomtom service I take it you have your reasons.
I have tried to install Tomtom on my X2 without MR1 and MR2 without luck. My previous X1, no problem.
Have you had a look at gpsunderground.com?
I've bought and installed copilot ( http://www.alk.eu.com/ ) and it worked flawlessly at mr1. And it is really cheap but navigation is thereafter. I would barely recommend it, but the GPS connects nice.
If you have a look at supported devices at Tomtom you can clearly see that SE X2 isn't supported. If someone gets it running nicely at our X2 i wouldn't judge people who gets it at places as gpsunderground and similar - but hey, that's just me, it's Tomtoms loss and not ours.

You need "GPS Gate" to get TomTom working on the X2, this has been covered many, many, oh did I mention many? times.

I don’t use GPSGate and TomTom Ver 7.910 works on my X2.
On the X2 – go to Settings/System/External GPS and change GDP9 TO COM8.
Open TomTom and change the GPS Device from Built in GPS receiver to Other NMEA GPS receiver and select COM8.
Make sure you run FASTGPS and download the latest Sat Data.
Hope this helps

That does help all this time I have always used GPSGate with it as that was the only fix I heard of. Good to know this, thanks!

I'll give you a hint. NO ONE has TomTom listed as a GPS receiver, so stop looking for it! Go back and read the posts again.

i'm using destinator 7 and igo8 both work great with the X2, you just have to set com port 3 or 4 on your xperia

Gps hardware port: Nothing (porta hardware Gps in italian)
Speed (baud): 4800

I hope in a big help and i have a question: how can i see if my internal gps works fine?

Tom tom: App version 7450 (9028)
Driver gps v1.20
I also found the gps settings in tom tom but i didn't find a way to receive an acceptable signal

Hello, usually the first time when you start using TomTom it can take a while......the settings seem ok. How many satellites does it normally catch; 6 is low and it can go up to 14/15. Can you check this?
Have you tried a soft reset?

Hi Frank, thanks for your answer, tom tom catches 0 satellites, i don't know why I'm able to navigate regardless.
I read in xda that tom tom usually doesn't use very well internal gps without a software launched before who manage internal gps.... are you agree? Can u suggest me one of these software?
Ah, yes i tried a soft reset but nothing changed

:-(
Now i realize also google maps doesn't work, it's the first application who needs gps that i launched and it worked, now searching to solve my problem i noticed it doesn't work anymore.............. :-(

Hi sebaseba78,
I have de same problem that you, if you can find a solution, please say to me at: [email protected].
Thanks!!

I have same issue with previous version of tom tom 7. But installing TT7 Black theme without bluetooth work fine.
Obviously in a building has never tried any GPS device (from tom tom go and ending with the HTC and the gps marine my father). Even if the signal was low with the version you use, thanks all'agps should engage quickly. If you see the correct location on the map is not worrying phenomenon. It works equally well.
Search in this forum version of tomtom black theme without bluetooth (reactivation map needed)

hi there I have the same problem with GARMIN mobile xt and NAVITEL navigator there is no satellite signals (0 satellites) note that it was working very well before, I hope there is a solution for this problem but when i made a soft reset the problem was solved
