SIRF InstantFix on ASUS P535 ?

Hi there,
just moved from Mio A701 to Asus P535 and am quite missing this SIRF InstantFix function of GPS.
On A701, there was this app clmapp.exe that opened virtual GPS port on COM4 and used downloaded ephemeris data in any GPS application that connected to this port to acquire almost immediate fix. You can only use HW GPS port COM2 on P535, no virtualizing, no ephemeris.
Any ideas or even attemts to get similar functionality on P535?
Thanks

DL GPSGate and use it. It can fix your problem. ^^

How exactly can GPSGate help me in acquiring Ephemeris data?

I have copied several files from A701 to P535, updated registry with EE data, downloaded the ephemeris file via the control panel, set GPS virtual port to COM4, and executed CLMApp.exe - but no app was able to connect to the GPS on COM4. Only default HW COM2/4800 works.
Any ideas what to do next?

hi czbird, any improvements in your "project"?
i would be myself hardly interrested in it as well.
thanx

none, so far have tried this QuickGPS tool, but with the same result - ephemeris files downloaded ok, but not being used.

I have a bad feeling, that the gps chip or the firmware used is not capable of reading the ephemeris files directly. I say this since I've tried sirfdemo for ppc and there is no option of loading the ee file. In other GPSs is an option there, to load the ee files. So, sad as well, but I think we need asus's support for this, and as I know them, we can wait for long...

B&BV4 and GPS

Hi,
I am running on a HTC P3300, not an M650.
With 3.7 my GPS was so accurate.
Now on 4.0, it has become unusable, th emap keeps spinning and it shos the street I have crossed 20 meters back.
Had anyone got this issue?
I am running on tomtom mobile 6.03.
Should I install the M650 fix?
what does this fix do?

Hello.
Are you sure you didn't modify some settings for your gps, in fact?
I had B&B V3.7 and I dit not have any problems with Tomtom Navigator 6.03 .
I will try tonight with B&B V4 because I didn't install Tomtom Navigator just after flashing. So I will send a feedback and we'll see

nope didn't change anything,
com4
gps hrdware support=none
baud rate = 4800
manage gps automaticaly=activated

It works perfect for me. Smooth & Fast

ok ,
maybe I need a clean install because i keep copying from my sd card to the tel.
Where can I find an install file for tomtom 6.03?

Artemis = SPV M650 Orange Poland

Hello.
I have SPV M650 Orange in Poland.
I have problem with GPS, can’t find signal.
I will download QuickGPS, and execute map from micro SD card.
And I have still message “search GPS signal”, and nothing happened.
Please help.
Tom.

Try to search sattelite signal on the open space not under the roof.
First time you can wait up to 1/2 hour.
If You haven't any GPS apps download TT driver 2.06 : http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=121
Settings: choose from top drop down box "NMEA 0183v2 9600"
Second drop box "COM4" for communication .

I have the same problem I`m installed TT ,but the same, status - gps is on , but no recieving data...
PLease, somebody , help!

The setting should be set to Settings: "NMEA 0183v2 9600" for the GPS to work. I have the same phone and cannot lock to GPS unless I use this setting.

Thanks All I solve this problem.

1. Download “VisualGPSce” from http://www.freewareppc.com
2. In “Settings” (Ustawienia) “GPS” set :
3. “Software” (Programy) = COM4
4. “Device” (Sprzęt) = COM5 , 4800
5. OK.
6. Test signal from “VisualGPSce”
7. OK
8. In AutoMapa „Settings” – “GPS” set COM4, 4800 in page 1
9. Page 2 All switch Off

TMC works with igo8 and hypergps

Hello,
TMC works now with hypergps beta 5 and igo8 on the xperia.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512630
Thank you beemer!

hello i've tried this like 50 times, but it doesn't work for me.
Can someone make a step by step instruction for iGO8?
or just post the sys.txt and the system.ini and the hypergps-settings.
thx in advance.

It isn't that hard anymore. I only have to perform these steps after a rom flash:
1. Install hypergps beta 8
2. Start hypergps
3. Push 'TMC' button
4. Plugin headphones to function as antenna
5. Start iGo (you can close hypergps, but it's not necessary)
6. TMC unit is probably recognised by iGo. If not, go to Menu - Settings (page 2) - TMC and search for TMC receiver. If it's not found fast, try to set it to search for Royaltek protocol on COM9 (standard values in HyperGPS)
7. Go to navigation mode and wait for TMC messages to come in.
You can check TMC messages (messages display an envelope or warning triangle icon below 'next move' area) by pushing in the right top of the screen (battery / gps meter) and after that the TMC icon (3rd icon in the low part of the screen)
There's no need (anymore) to change any stuff in system.ini or sys.txt. If you have done so in your attempts, put a ; in front of a line to let iGo ignore it for now or just delete it.

thx i will try at home, hope it will work

igo8?!?!?!

How to auto connect to external BT-GPS

Hi every one,
I have paired an external BT GPS , and every time that i want to use it with TomTom or Oziexplorer, i have to manually connect to it as BT manager ask.
Any clue on doing this automatically as it was before in other devices with Broadcom stack?
Thanks.

Try to install "GPSGATE 2" ...
GPSGATE will create a virtual port that u can use with TT or Ozie.
for example : GPSGATE found my Royaltek (by Bluetooth) and do a virtual port com 4 (u can choose the number), after that, in tomtom or Ozie i choose my "gpsgate virtual" port 4 (i believe it's named "Franson" port) ...
...and that's all !
GPSGATE must be start with your device (see in options) ...

That is one of the things that i tried, but still asking if i want to connect it.
Thanks any away.

Strange...because, as i start TT, gpsgate look after my BT GPS and switch on automatically BT on TP2...and connect to GPS !
I do nothing, only start TT ...

I think that the difference between us is that mine is an Spanish rom.
Also i can't change the settings for external gps at wm settings page.
Perhaps it is a bug on Spanish rom, who knows.
