OK
You Have to Install GPS GATE.
Then you can make the modification stated in POST #1.
and you can exit GPS GATE.

You don't need to run it. (it runs a small EXE on startup). so you can not uninstall.

Ok..Great thansks...Ill give it a try.
Do you think there will ever be a way of getting rid of gpsgate/portsplitter all together for tomtom use.
Thanks

instead of changing GPD1 to COM1 change to com8, no need for gpsgate/portsplitter at all! works after hard reset without any other programs, then at least iGO and Destinator works flawlessly.

Do you mean set the GPS program port under programs to COM1 and then under hardware set it to COM8?
Thanks

You change the one which is default on GDP1 to COM8 its the program, leave hardware on COM9, then set all gps programs to COM8 or auto discover.
Like i said, only tested on igo and destinator, i believe it will work on tomtom

Ok thanks....I have tried this but it dont seem to work for tomtom for me
Do you have tomtom at all you could try?...I wonder if its anything to do with the new radio i just flashed.

Does it work for google map using GPS satellites and not GPRS or Wap?

it works for copilot, the trick is to restart the device after you make the com port change before you configure gps software

yup it works also with google earth. you can see that it is acquiring satellites while browsing

thanks for this.

sorry nub....where i can find iGo in my i780?
Thanks

GPS camera in WM6

Hello everybody,
After having unpgraded to WM6 I no longer have the GPS camera function I have enjoyed in the WM5 Dopod rom...
In life you cannot have everything! Well, maybe in the Artemis (part of life) you can!
Does anyone know a tweak to enable this useful function again?
Thanx
Hello SiperX,
If you want to put in GPS Position in automatic in a picture chance the follow in registry:
Go to HKLM/ Software/Htc/Camera/P9
and set enable to '1'
Than you got to do an soft reset.
it´s the sam as WM5.
Than the funktion apears!
Have a nice day
Right nickname!

thnx for the tip... It works great now ;-)
Is it possible to use it in HTC (Elf) ?? Does it support External GPS device? Thanks
I don't think GPS Photo will work with external GPS receiver. It's also not available in some other devices with internal GPS like the Trinity.
Worked perfectly thanks
but when i activate it on the camera mode it says
"cannot initialise the gps service"
any help?
thanks
Flash Touch 3.01 or O2 Premium 2.0. Both offer working GPS Photo. Also the official WWE ROM for Asia (Europe has no GPS Photo for some reason) has this extra

2 Problems with Bepe

Hi,
i've now installed WM6 Rom from bepe. Its quite nice but i've 2 problems. The Touch Keypad looks the same like the Touch Keyboard.
My second problem is that i don't know the right port configuration for tomtom.
GDP1 and COM9 ? <- not working
Greetz
Tips..
The Touch keyboard and the Touch keypad look the same but when you go to explorer and surf the internet the Touch Keypad changes....
And with TOMTOM have you tried selecting "another NMEA GPS-reciever" then setting your "Baudspeed" to 115200 and then select GPS in com9...
works for me....

GPS Should work by default. GDP1 and COM9 are correct.
I've had this problem with Bepe's very first ROM as well. Maybe you can try a different radio version?
Now i'll try "another NMEA GPS-reciever" before it was "Internal GPS".
The Problem is, i thought it should look different the Keypad and the Keyboard.

i dont think you can fun such a utility instead u can use the combination of
quickgps to get updates about the satellites to get quick gps fixing
wififofum to get save the configuration of access point
any gps programme such as navigotn tomtom destinator
the previous author said that wififofum can do it but i could not see it in my version - can u please elaborate

I think the logs are in xml format. I haven't got it installed at the moment. You can read them with Google Earth and then export to TomTom ov (POI) files or use POIconverter for that. I don't think you can export directly to a folder in which you have a TomTom map, but what is TS looking for exactly?

[31.07.2009] TMC now working without external Hardware!!!

Hi,
Tmc work on Touch HD with a little tool (attached here).
TMC developers thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497977
beemers TMC thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512630
Load and install the two attached cab files, then:
start HyperGPS
select a free Com Port for TMC
go to menu > Test and search TMC with the arrows
message RTTMC in receive windows means TMC available (Pic 4)
if TMC found, close test windows with OK
leave HyperGPS in the background and start iGO
go to settings > TMC
search a TMC broadcaster
What is new in Beta 8:
-Full GNS protocol support. Tested under iGO and Navigon
GNS needs TMC+GPS option to be selected althought if it is not, HyperGPS will send fake GPS sentences.
-Less CPU consumption and lower memory footprint
-Optimized test program: Now RSSI is correctly shown under Royaltek mode, unused buttons are hidden under GNS mode and all the behaviour has been polished.
-RDS and TMC indicator in test program.
-Log mode redesigned to make more useful and readable logs.
-Removed fake RDS message under Royaltek mode. Not necessary with correct timmings.
-Soved an issue with block ratio not always sent.
my iGO settings in system.ini:
[tmc]
saved_config_available="0"
saved_config_classname="NMEA_GPSTMC_ROYALTEK"
saved_config_portname="COM"
saved_config_port="9"

Special thanks to beemerTPPC and all TMC developers.
with friendly greet
starbase64
You guys are incredible, and xda-dev is an amazing forum!!!!!!!
When, even iGO responsibles of the support section strictly answer that the HD isn't able to provide a TMC function with its radio receiver, you still believe that it's possible, give yourselves the means to make it happen, and success!!!!
BRAVO!!!
...'ll test this soon
it doesnt work on my hd....
tested all the com ports but no way.... it says it cannot open com port....
I have installed both the files, any help ???

TMC found in iGo, but no TMC-stations can be found in Sweden so far...
Does this work in the UK with iGO8? Reason why i ask that TMC is found in iGO8 but no TMC stations found. I have the headset plugged in and it's scanned all FM radio frequencies (testing.... no TMC signal found). The funny thing is, on the main screen where the TMC icon is, i have a yellow envelope. Clicking the car icon, then the car icon in a triangle, it takes me to a section called "Traffic Alerts" where 2 events are listed for roadworks. (1. A3211 westminster bridge - tower bridge & 2. A23 thorton - heath purley). So it must have picked up a signal at some point. Any help please ?
starbase64,
thanks a lot. I just follow in last two weeks all efforts (thanks to flywhc and other team) to obtain TMC function avalaible on htc devices. In my case I have a touch HD. Now I just installed u sw, and config and TMC signal is OK. Now remain only to test on the road...
Thanks again. I hope to give u feedback asap.
It worked once and then it broke.
It says it cant load the driver so i uninstalled,re installed beemercert.cab and then tried to reinstall the app but now it say it can't as it doesn't have permission.
WOW! This is so good. HTC dvices always have hidden options. The only bad thing is missing tmc services in my coutry, macedonia

same here aswell using dutty`s v3.3XT
Gotta be realistic, while its nice to have, this is "only" OpenTMC, in Germany known to be around 20-40 minutes behind real traffic situation. This is not TMCPro with realtime traffic data through road sensors.
But indeed it is fantastic for the masterminds behind this activation to have achieved this. Respect.

Look in many of the threads already here. In general, you can say that all the official PDA releases work. These are 8.3.2.64029, 87762 and 97313. (Maybe more). With these versions a very basic sys.txt (as supplied with these versions) will work, as long as you add:
[device]
sdcard_dsk_num=7
(It took me three days to find this out...)

I had problems getting mine to work also. All I did was a fresh install, nothing edited in sys.exe, but I replaced data.zip with a newer version and it seems to be working fine!
I am ruining 8.3.2.93122 and it runs just fine.
Just to confirm it runs ok with version 8.3.2.1972 on the TP2 with these settings in sys.txt

show_exit=1

In fact, what does it mean ?
I guess it's giving iGO the correct location of the sdcard i.e. disk number 7.
(I'm also guessing) The other 6 disks will be internal storage/ROM/backup ROM/etc.
ok, but it´s strange as App looks for "Storage card"
Code:
[folders]
App="[i]Storage card[/i]/iGo8"
... it´s just to understand ...
Whatever I install, I keep getting "Initialization error: no language files were found"
any help ?
do you have insert(copied) a Lang_YourLanguage.zip
you will find this on
-iGO
-CONTENT
-LANG

Aight, so I fixed all these problems and the program works great with all maps etc.
but it doesnt know how to determine where I am..
I'm telling it to take me to some place, and it creates a way like I'm in Jerusalem, while im not there xD...
IGO8 dont find my internal GPS???
Hi,
the programm and the maps work fine on my TP2 but he always shows me:

Schnalla,
What regional settings are you using?
For me strangly enough I found that when my local are set to anyting other then English iGo doesn't find the GPS receiver.
So try changing local to English UK or the like (might need a restart).
Then go to iGo GPS settings and run the automatic scan for GPS device.
It worked for me.
Once the GPS receiver is found you can change the Regional settings back to whatever you had before.
IGO8 Problem
Dear all,
I've got a IGO8 problem too. I've got the same version as up here. (The last version with a working TTS)
When i've touch flo 3d turned off (and using the basic windows mobile start screen) is IGO8 working perfect.
After turning on the touch flo 3d is igo working for a short time, but after an hour, when I try to start the application ==> I will get a error. I will get this message 1/2 second after pressing the igo icon and before I can see the loading screen.
the error is: "Failed to reserve virtual address space"
Can anybody help me to let it working with touch flo 3d? Or can somebody explain what the problem is?
Thanks in advance!

When I set the voice in IGO to a basic version (non TTS), close igo, reboot, start igo and set it to a TTS ==> it's working. but after shutting it down and restarting ==> TTS is not longer working. (And after a day, IGO cannot be started anymore and the device had to soft reset to let IGO run again...
