You made sure all the configurations are correct?
If so you might need to await a couple of minutes while you move around or are open to a clear sky to receive a signal. To help improve the satellite lock time try searching for a GPS launcher. There are some specific for Tom Tom.
These launchers not only initiate the GPS but once it is warmed up it will run Tom Tom after. It doesn't really help 100% but it does help speed up the lock time abit.

tnx> i got it working but its not very accurate on the position. sometimes its really off

I had the exact same issue. My external gps antenna came one day later than the phone did. I plugged the antenna in, and then it found two satelites indoors. Unplugged it, and it stayed working. I walked down the street it sorta tracked my position. Hope this helps anyone else having this issue..
Edit: I found this thread via a google search and didn't realize I was in a Titan thread. My phone is the Polaris/Touch Cruise. Sorry...

Problems with Sygic Aura

Hi All,
I bought Sygic Aura because it seemed to be a good software, but i have problems with it.
With GPS Test and GPS Status it seems my phone doesnt have any gps issues since i get up to 10 satellites with good signal, but with sygic i get a lot less like 2 to 3 satellites, anyone had this problem?
Thnks

Well, if navigation works flawlessly, who cares how many satelites does it say in settings ;]

I use Sygic too and recently drove all the way from London via France to Sweden without any problems apart from a couple of GPS locks issues that are SGS' and not Sygic's.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I probably didn't explain myself good. GPS Status and GPS Test show that my device gets signal without problem, but when i use sygin instead of having for example 7 satellites i have only 2 or 3 and they appear and disapear with frequency which means that with sygic i have signal issues,i have difficult getting sats with sygic and not with other softwares.

but have you froyo o ginger?

I have Gingerbread JVA.

The JVA is one of the first release of Gingerbread...... try to update to JVH-JVO or better to 2.3.4 (JVQ-JVR).
On my Galaxy S with JVR, Sygic Aura works very good

Yes, it works both in China and Russia. You may need to wait a long time for the mobile to communicate with the satellite.

do you have the offline gps maps? The one I purchased has only online Bing .

works fine in UK

It works semi-fine in Canada for me. And by that, I mean it takes longer than what I have been used to with my android devices to pick up an accurate signal. Of course as everyone knows, my compass is dead as of Mango

Works in India too!

Yes - I've used mine in Spain, Canada, Scotland, England, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and the U.S.

Hi, my GPS on the DVP wont work, somebody have the same problem??? some issues to repair?!!
Thanks

try to use wifi when youre in maps and see if you get a rough general fix. if the circle doesnt shrink past 350m or something like that then youve got the common gps bug. its in more wp devices than just the dvp.. Lots of mango-ed devices report it.. Reverting back to premango fixes it. Or in lots of cases, it just fixes itself.. Mine did after a few restarts and a few days.
You can also download a gps testing app (e.g. gps test) off the marketplace to see if you get raw data from gps.. If not, highly likely the bug. wait it out a little?

Gps & ANG2 UPDATE

Is someone expierience gps problems after the last update or is just me?

Yeah I have a GPS issue but just updated to ANG2 with a new S5 so can't compare to the previous firmware.
My GPS works with sat-nav & it finds satellites with GPS test apps but the S5 won't share the GPS info with my pebble and its not the pebble as switching to a tablet sends the location info straight away.

GPS Issues Nexus 6P running latest stable Cyanogenmod

Hi Guys,
So I am having a bit of an issue with cyanogenmod and GPS where my phone can only get location from Cell Phone Towers and WiFi and never actually connects to GPS signals when I am trying to uses Google Maps/HERE Maps. I could live with out GPS if my WiFi network gave me the right location but it never does so What do I need to do to fix this headache.
Thanks in advance, Tech.

I have the same problem at this moment, I'm running PureNexus rom and my GPS was working super bad while in USA and right now I'm in Russia and it doesn't work at all here, just like you've described.
Could you please tell me if you find some sort of solution?
