Newbie With Aussie Mobile 6, Gps? Sync?

Hi all,
I'm just hoping some you who are more familar with the trinity can give me a few pointers... to save me time and less confusion, thanks in advance and much appreciated.
I'm currently using the Australian version of Windows Mobile 6 on my trinity...
but i'm NOT sure how to get GPS running (if it's is possible), please tell how to set it up and what software etc, i require. (I'll be using the GPS in Australia)
and also in terms of syncing... after updating my trinity from mobile 5 to 6, do i need a new version of active Sync, because i'm having trouble sync now...
Thank you all~~~ I'm hoping there are nice and helpfully people around

I think you meant to write "but i'm NOT sure how to get GPS running".
If so, you do not need to install any software. GPS works. But without a software program that actually uses GPS, GPS itself is quite useless. So install TomTom 6 (if you don't have it let me know, I'll post it), follow the instructions and your GPS will work. Headsup, first fix will take some minutes, so be patient.

You need ActiveSync 4.5.

http://www.tomtom.com is the place to create an account and download a paid map, but you can use Route 66 too.
Let we start with Google Maps, that's free of charge and easy setup. I've attached the file.
ActiveSync (XP or earlier) is available at Microsoft, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista) at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx

You can download Tomtom 6.03 from rapidshare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/47514040/1.bin
http://rapidshare.com/files/47519726/1.b01
http://rapidshare.com/files/47523589/1.b02
Just rename the files:
1.bin > 1.zip
1.b01 > 1.z01
1.b02 > 1.z02
Upzip the file and copy the content from the zipfile to the root of your SD. Use File Explorer to navigate to the root of your SD card and tap on Start.exe from and TT will install itself.

Arilexed: Thanks for your Tomtom 6 links, much appreciated once again...
For those familiar with google maps and gps settings.... when i use google maps on my trinity it keeps saying seeking GPs satellites (0)... but it never finds anything....
is there something i need to do with the setting??
How about tomtom 6 do i need to change the gps setting in order to make it work?
I'm hoping someone can help me out~~~
Thanks in advance~

Doesn't GoogleMaps require you to have a constant internet connection to be able to use?

yes, i believe you are right prawnz....
piitaa, ensure you are outside, away from tall buildings and built-up areas. a first-time lock can often take 10-15 minutes to obtain.

no problem, glad to be of service. could you confirm if the download and installation has worked for you?

Hi dos anyone have this problem? I've tried installing WM6 official OZ ROM but finds that the in build memory is smaller. and since TomTom needs to be installed in the phone inbuild memory I have only small amount left to install other stuff. Plus how come there is no office in the official ROM.

hello, don't have the answer to your question but I think you would have more chance in getting a answer if you started a new thread for this. just a thought...

TomTom - making more room
Hi - you can just move the folder "Navigator" from the program files out to the Storage Card - just correct any shortcuts to point to the new location. It works fine and frees up that much space on the device...

Auto disconnect request

Ciao everybody,
First of all I'd like to tell you that you are doing great job (pratically for free and for a limited glory).
thank you very much.
from my point of view and compared with my skill some of us (udk, guybrush ect..) are definitely genius.
Could you tell me if is there any auto disconnect software working on wm6 outthere?
many thanks

Well I thought it was REALLY for free.
What you mean by autodisconnect? Is it to switch off phone, or switch off the PDA, or disconnect gprs connection, or what?
For the phone you have psshutXP
for the data you have NoData from Modaco
Both for free, use the search function to find them!

thank you for your reply.
I refer to data/gprs connection.
I know that there is an application working on WM5 (GB_SOFT GPRS auto-disconnect) but I didn't getthe change to test.
Now I'm asking if there is something similar for WM6,
Modaco Nodata main link doesn't work. I'll search
thank you again

Thanks.

Hmm is there such a cab that can auto-disconnect voice calls after say, 10 min etc?
For example..my current call plan gives me free 10 min calls to other mobiles on 3 (Australia) and it would be handy to have the phone disconnect automatically on calls where I dial out after 10 min...
Any ideas?

You can download Garmin Mobile XT from the Garmin website. (you need I think the garmin support files and basemap)
Then with their mapsource software, you can upload your maps from windows to the phone.

GPS
um..actually i am looking for free download..if you have it..

Then you went to the wrong forum...

The Opera browser does it automatically. For everything else, practically every TP2 owner has installed 'Gyrator 2' or 'screenChanger' (my favourite), which are free apps utilising the G-Sensor. They run pretty much silently and allow you to configure which programs you want to rotate etc.
Get the TP2 - You know you want to.

Yes. But only by sliding out the keyboard. You can use the G sensor, but then you have to adjust the registry.

Theres a reg hack to enable the change orientation function to be shown in the screen to change button assignments. So you can set when you hold down the send button it changes to landscape mode. And you don't have to pull out the keyboard!
I can't remember what it was mind.. but it's on these forums somewhere.

thank you all.
thank you brynweb for those programs.
thank you quarintus.
andrewrees: if you remember the post, please tell me.
thanks a lot

i have tried Gyrator, and the problem i´ve seen is that the program must be running if you want to rotate screen.
correct or im wrong?

you dont need to use any program
there is a reg hack on here to allow it to tilt auto in things like calender etc etc

I did the reg that doesnt need any program running and it works great. With a bit of modding I got it to do TomTom, too.
TomTom on PDA is OK, but it still doesnt have text to speach for spoken street names.

changeScreen does a better job of hiding itself than Gyrator. One day I'll use the reg hack, but I'm still in the tinkering stage where I can't make up my mind about what programs I want to rotate, so it's easier for me to use the program option right now.

That is correct. However, mine starts itself at startup and you can tell it to minimise when it starts, so you don't need to worry about starting it up all the time. It also doesn't use much memory, so you don't need to worry about that either.
