GoogleMaps & WM6 - P3600 ROM Development

Has anybody had any luck with Google Maps on WM6 with respect to the GPS function??
Googlemaps installs and works OK but the GPS doesn't seem to work (although some time ago on WM5 I think it did??)
TomTom works fine and gets a lock in a few minutes??
Is there a version of GoogleMaps that works with the Trinity built in GPS?? (I did try setting in the program GPS Port 9 speed 11500, but no joy)
Any ideas?
Cheers

I have no problem with piching up a fix.

Are you using the latest version from the Google site or another one 'floating' around in the forums??

I use a cooked ROM of UDK 3.0 with WM6 and Google Maps work very fine. I have just installed the new radio 1.46.30.11 and the fix is very fast ( about 40 sec.)

If it's not from the Google site any chance of a link?? Maybe there is a 'modified' one that works with the Trinity correctly?
I assume there are no other settings to make in GoogleMaps to use the internal GPS on Port 9?
Cheers

When I first tried Google maps with GPS, it was having difficulty getting a fix. Not being able to see how many satellites you have a fix on makes it hard to see where the problem lies.
To check if the GPS was working, I initiated the GPS on the camera and got a fix. Back to Google Maps and selected 'Track Location', within seconds it got a fix.
I think Google maps are handy but a bit of a novelty. As it costs you to download the images all of the time, I prefer to use my dedicated GPS software.

QuickGPS vs SeaSGEE

I've been using SeaSGEE instead of quickGPS for a few days - the GPS fix is now within seconds whereas on QuickGPS it could be minutes - in fact I just don't think QuickGPS had any effect at all on GPS performance!
One question though - SeasGEE has an option to automatically update, but I can't see anywhere in startup or similar that would be doing something automatic, and SeasGEE is basically running straight from its EXE - I don't have an installer that might have made some reg mods or something... and with all the new ROMS around, I haven't had one on long enough without a hard reset to know if the automatic update works! Any suggestions or info?
I think u're right. I'm using the B&B 4.2 for now, and it's really a good rom. I got a fix gps within 10 seconds if I let the A-GPS connecting to Orange server, but if I just use QuickGps, my fix is as long as on my P3600...
On my phone, in France, QuickGps is like a placebo :lol: it doesn't help to get a fix quicker.
Then I'm going to try with SeaSGEE, and I'll report.
Edit : I just tried SeaSGEE, and there is no change, fix still long. But A-GPS orange rocks.
Does that make my TomTom find GPS faster ?

In theory, yes.
In fact, it doesn't on my M650, rom BB 4.2. However, A-GPS from M650 helps to find the fix within 10 seconds.
SeaSGEE rocks!
SeaSGEE rocks for me... now i have a fix in seconds, and even while i'm driving it has a fix in seconds, where before it was a pain to get a fix while driving!
using a t-mobile MDA CIII with vanilla 2.0 rom from meschle
SeaSGEE is working very well for me as well; significantly better than QuickGPS ever did. For some reason QuickGPS started failing on downloads so I decided to give SeaSGEE a try and boy am I happy I did.

TomTom freak out
Hi there, ive installed SeaSGEE, and now when i open TomTom it cant find any map... and for some reason that enables mouse mode????
What the f*** is going on???
i also use phm tray launch and the TomTom icon duplicates, lol
what can i do?

thanks
hmmmmm..... this look interesting.
Can someone post the link to SeaSGEE here??

Thank you! I've tested it some minutes ago and......so fast!!!

So easy, copy the exe to your device, go to the folder, select SeasGEE.exe and copy. Paste shortcut. Cut shortcut and paste in folder \windows\startmenu\programs\
Then go to htc home, tab programs and select a free button, then select SeasGEE!
Thank you!

Hi all,
I tried again today, with nice weather, only sun
And... I got a fix in 30 seconds... With A-gps Orange, when it's raining, I got a fix in 10 seconds.
So, do you think SeaSGEE doesnt work as well because I got a SPV M650 (running on BB 4.2) ?
I think the accuracy of the ephemeridis depends on the country you're in. That's why in France QuickGPS and SeaSGEE do not work (and i've got a P3300).

Hum then... Are you using QuickGPS or GPSRapide ? I suspect there is a difference between both of them, on the files they download. I use QuickGPS with B&B 4.2, and the first fix takes more like a minute than 10 seconds...
for me SeaSGEE works really good,
with QuickGPS i`ve got fix in about 30sec - 2minutes
now...with SeaSGEE i got fix in less then 10sec
tested on SPV M650 , Orange PL , Automapa 4.1.2

Does SeaSGEE have to be installed on the \Windows folder or it can be installed on the storage card?
I have it installed on the Storage Card - and works fine for me...!
but then how do I know it's not just the QuickGPS doing the work? Because that too updates automatically everytime I connect via activesync....
Where does it save the Downloaded file?

GPS Navigator Quick Patch(Multi-language)

actully, it is a 50kB tiny software once came with official rom......working on wm6.
it have only a simple dialog. Auto-select Multi-language.(i see some resouse in Ita, Ger... ...)
Function:it downloads a 3-days global sattelites position data into your mobile, (use GPRS about 1kb), then in next 3 days, the navigator software(like tomtom) will get sattelites signal in 5 seconds!!! no matter how you shutdown or reboot.
i have no idea how it works, but it really works wonderful !!
After data downloaded, it can be exit (the data will still working), so it won't occupy any memory.
as i said in my other threads, my english sucks, and maybe something i am posting is a ages-old-news to others, but please dont laugh at me
Works great!!!!!!
Thanks.
Can you please clarify from which "official" WM6 rom you took that out from?
Hope you are not talking about MIO A701 and it wasn't placebo effect

it is from a Dopod (oem from HTC) simplify chinese and China Mobile Company oem software wm5 rom. Should exist in some other language rom but so far no further infomation about souce.Delivered too many times before i get it.
nothing Copyright&About info in this software, but it is very well designed and someone spend lots of time to make it good and with so many languages. although it is old, the server which it gets data from is still working fast and the satellite position data is uptodate every hour. so i guess it must come from something big, like HTC company or a global orgnization.
it is ok for you to doubt its effect (because i did too)
For example, if you usually need about 2 minutes to let navigator working after a cold-reboot. Install this software and update once, then do as many reboot as you want, however the navigator will take only 5 seconds to get satellites, except you are staying in house or you run the navigator after more than 3 days from you last update.
the compare result should be obvious, But i am glad if u tell me it is not working on yours, cause i cant figure out how it working.
no problem to install the log on my trinity, but the download of the satellite base is impossible by GPRS or wifi !
thanks.
does it download data via HSDPA?
Just tried this on my Trinity. Installs fine and downloads ephemeris data via ActiveSync fine but doesn’t appear to decrease TTFF…
There’s been plenty of banter around why A-GPS (whether it’s from your carrier or pre-downloaded) won’t work with the Trinity driver for the GPSOne QualComm chip, but I thought I would try anyway. Love to be proven wrong
download ok after a soft reset.
but in TomTom, no change; so don't work on (my) trinity ...
Hi,i think like quickgps that is a placebo effect with qualcomm
installs and downloads the ephemeris file fine.
Not sure it actually doing anything- as posted by numerous other folks.
Even so, it was a very good price ;-)
this morning i tried once more, and it takes 30 seconds, didn't works as good as yesterday. but still faster then normal.
i believe the reginal setting should be setted to real location.

for me it's work fine : I've just instal and try it with TomTom. It take 20sec to do the cold first fix. If it's a placebo it's a good one!
My usually cold first fix was in 1 or 2 min.
ps : I use UDK WM6. Gps settings : com9, 57600baud / TomTom settings : other NMEA GPS, COM9, 57600baud
My S300+ is now as fast as my old MioA701.
Does not seem to work on my Trinity here in the UK,
still takes for ever to get a fix.
Guys, I don't want to pour cold water on to your dreams - but this cab is for Mio, presumably A700/A701 that contains a SiRF-III chip. This would be useful to P3300 aka Artemis - but should have no effect on those Qualcomm chips.
If someone do get the version from Kaiser working on Trinity, I'm more than happy to know
Just installed, downloaded satellite file.
Did a very very cold fix (a few months without launching TomTom) : took 5 min to fix.
My 2 cents : definitely placebo effect

I tried to use this on my P3300 for a couple of weeks and it never worked. Gave me some error about network connection not made. I just uninstalled it and went back to using the Quick GPS Fix file that redirects the DL from different servers (unknown) from HTC's. Don't know how effective it is but it downloads at least.

after i dowload the file i close quick gps...then before start tomtom i have to start quick GPS? quickGPS no need run in background? i start quick gps only for download file?

una volta scaricato il file, prima di avviare tomtom devo avviare sempre quick GPS? oppure non serve avviare quick GPS? va avviato solo per il download? non necessita sia in background?

TomTom GPS data stream problem

Hello Guys,
I manage to upgrade Vogue to WM6.1 + GPS.
When I run Google Maps it work fine. Show me exactly where I am.
When I run TomTom from AstroGPSLauncher, the TomTom showed me that it found 7 satellites.
But I do NOT see the road.
When I try to enter direction I get an error message related to the GPS data.
It is as if the GPS data is wrong. I think TomTom try to put me in a different part of the world and its completely confused.
Any Idea what I did wrong?
Thanks.

You forgot to tell us what version of TT and what map you are using!
It's unlikely to be a hardware or rom problem otherwise Google Maps would not work.
-GT
I'm using version 7.45 .
Today I also installed it on my friends phone (HTC Touch Sprint) and it was working OK.
So the TomTom version is OK, the Vogue work OK with GoogleMaps and MS Live.
What can be the reason that TomTom GPS is confused on my machine?
I also installed GPS Tuner and I saw the same problem:
The location jump all the time. Sometimes it put in in China...
Very strange....
Can someone think about something I did wrong???

No GPS signal indicators but TOMTOM 7 is working fine

Hi all,
I have a strange phenomna I installed Tomtom 7 on my new HTC touch HD. I touched it did not work. because i do not have any GPS signal indicators but nevertheless strangely enough TOMTOM 7 is working fine.
The same version is on my Fujitsu Siemens N560 and there all is woorking well with GPS indicators working.
Are there any others who have the same thing? and what to do to get these indicators working?
tomtom version 7.450(9028)
gps version v1.20
map Western Europe v720.1802
Same for me on Garmin Mobile XT. It's due the newer GPS drivers support more satellites, so you need an update for TomTom. For me it's a minor issue as it doesn't affect navigation.
Cheers

Have you tried running QuickGPSFix program before launching TomTom, it help TomTom get signals

Tomtom is getting the Satelite signals (because tomtom is working perfectly)
the only thing is that i don't see any satelites.(the signal indicators on the driving screen are showing nothing) and also at the GPS status screen no satelites are shown.
The only thing there is saying that the built in gps reciever is giving me latitude blablabla minutes seconds etc.
So GPS is working but i can't see it.
quickgpsfix did not change anything. i tried that.
But i am glad Tomtom is working, it is only strange.
regards,
I have the same issue when I used WM6.5 version, once I changed back to WM6.1, the indicator works fine. (What version are you using it?)
tested on all Dutty WM6.5 versions and none of it works.
tested on all Dutty WM6.1 versions and works fine.
tested on Miri WM6.5 and it works.
tested on Panosha WM6.5 and it works only on few radio versions.
No Ideal at all............
Same problem with the same version of TomTom here...
I updated to TomTom 7.915 (9196) and the problem was gone...
I had this issue with Garmin XT.
I fixed it (accidentally!) by changing the GPS Program Port to GPD1 instead of a COM port.
After doing that it worked, and still works after changing it back to a COM port. No idea why.
I use it on a HTC Touch HD only 1 week old
original rom, dutch version. wm 6.1
If you are using Garmin XT and is default using "Use serial GPS", switch to "use GP intermediate Driver" and you will see the signal bars.
This is on My TOMTOM as well. It was strange at first especially as we have always had signal bars now I dont care as long as it works. You know what they say.... If it aint Broke...... etc
I have the same problem, running tomtom version 7.450.
This problem (no satellites) appeared after upgrading the rom to HTC version 1.56. Before, with the previous original HTC rom, the same version of tomtom worked perfectly.
I've got the same problem, too.
After flashing new (org.) HTC ROM, TomTom works fine, but signal indicator is not showing satellites.
ditto - same problem noticed since moving to cooked ROM, but I might have had it before to be fair.
I'm happy TomTom works but I'd like to see them if i can.
Guys,
The reason for not showing the satellites in TomTom is that these versions can't handle the number of satellites available on the GPS chipset. Don't worry as it makes absolutely no difference to the operation of TomTom.
Should have mentioned that this is due to the latest HTC radios. Can't remember from which radio version the full GPS functionality was implemented in but am sure if you check you can find the information.
I have the same problem on my Diamond 2, that is to say, Tomtom Navigator 7 works but the satellite indicator doesn't work. But, this morning I SAW THE INDICATOR WORKING!!! I was so happy. Then, in the afternoon, when I started Tomtom, the indicator did not work.... I am sure I did not dream this morning...
I am wondering what happened this morning. If I knew, I could make it work again...
As the satellite indicator worked once, it maybe that the driver is there.. Maybe some registry tweak may bring it to life...
I got same problem after I update my ROM. The navigation is working fine just without satalites indicator. I'm sure Tomtom had signal indicator before the ROM update. Anyone has solution?

I have the exact same problem with TT7!... I've tried everything in settings but can't get the signal bar to appear.
Does anyone have a solution or a cab file to fix this GPS issue in 6.5 ROMs? If not, atleast, TomTom works fine...
Yep,I have the same ,no indicators,tried reinstalling no difference,would love to have them working.
Don
One more here, HTC Diamond, TomTom7, newest radio.
I think that got broken when I updated to a new ROM/Radio some time ago, same TomTom installation had no such problems before.
It is a minor thing but does help to see how quickly you are going to get the full signal )
am using duttys holy grail R0 with Manila 2.1 radio 1.17 and TOMTOM 7.915.9196 and i get GPS signal indicators now. I didn't on 7.4, which is odd.

TomTom7 Navigator problems

Hi,
I've search the forum to find my answer but with no result... Let me explain my problem:
I'm using Christians WM6.5.1 ROM (latest build). Everything works fine except TT7. I've tried several caps but none of them works perfect... The thing is that it won't recognize the build in GPS module. The app says "No GPS device!"
I allready tried to set the settings to "Another NMEA receiver" on the GPS-baudspeed of 57600 and COM:4... But it won't work...
With my TyTnII I didn't experience any problems but I'm pretty desperate to find the solution so I won't need my old Garmin Nav.System any more.
Does someone has an answer to my problem? Or maybe the same problem?
Please help!
hi.
i am also using christian's rom and i am using tomtom 7 without any problem.did you update your gpsfix data?use quick gps and update your data.if you cant get proper signal it will show 'no gps found'.once you pick up the signal it will work properly.
good luck.
Well the main problem is that the gps device that is build in the xperia x1 wil have to find the gps locations..
The first time it will take about 2 to 10 minutes before it finds the locations. After that first time it will take a few seconds to 30 seconds before it finds it's locations..
I had the same problem and it drove me crazy untill I found 2 posts on the internet that saved my life.
Just place your Xperia somewhere on a table in the garden and wait for it to load.
Greetings from Holland.
If I'm not wrong you should use the internal GPS and set the baudrate to 4800. 57600 is way too large.
Okay, I don't use Win 6.5, but also using 6.1 57600 is not working.
Hi,
I've tried your tip but without any results... TomTom tells me that there were no satalites which I was conected to but still got my location pretty pointed...
I drove the entire way on my TomTom but without GPS fix... I downloaded the newest position with QuickGPS before I ran TT7.
Could this be a bug or is it locating me on another way...?
i am using tomtom 7.915.9196.vga_black.cab without any problem.which radio version are you using?seems you are having very weird problem.good luck.
I use TTN_7.916.9189 and there are not problems
got christians rom too and tomtom 7.xx runs better than under windows 6.1 stock rom
Got it working... Don't ask how I did it Cause I really have no clue...!
But I'm really happy it finally works! Now I've got to see how I can get it into my "On The Road" panel to set it as my default navigator
also using christian's latest clean WWE rom.
it does find some satelites in tomtom 7.9xxxxxx, but still not possible to navigate or find a way.
what did you do?
i even let tomtom run till my battery got empty, but no luck?
maybe its the radio, still got the old one i think?
going to update to 7.915.9196.vga_black.cab now, hope that helps
