Intern GPS works only with TomTom Navigator

Hi,
please can someone tell me, why the inter gps only works with TomTom
on my XDA ORBIT?
I tried MioMap from a friend, but it tells me: No GPS was found.
Same problem with other software like gpstuner / smirftech and so on.
What can i do?
Is there a trick?
Are there tools to tweak the gps ?
Please give me an tip.
Big THanks
Bye

On my MDAC3 it works fine with both Tom Tom and Memory Map and it also worked with Pocket Earth.
Regards

TomTom is not the only software that works with the internal GPS - I tried several that worked (for example, ESRI ArcPAD 7.01 and MagicMaps2GO 2).
But you are right, GPSTuner doesn't work - it locks up my device while trying to find the GPS. There is a workaround described in the GPSTuner-Forum: You have to install GPSGate (software that works as an intermediary between the GPS and any other software) (http://gpstuner.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1044).
But contrary to what the developers of GPSTuner think (namely, that TomTom locks out every other software from using the internal GPS), I don't think that's right because at least to different applications from different vendors work. There has to be something else...

Ah, big thanks!
Please tell me your config for GPS.
Why you can find the gps intern for MioMap!
I have got the same hardware like you!!
Please
Big big thanks

works ok with igo2006 and papago7 also
the problem is with destinator6 last version 6.1.1.4000
and we waiting for a bugfix from destinator tech.
a trick that can fix this prob is if you put the version with tmc and have always the tmc on,with this the com port stays open
config
com4 baud 115200
tmc on com4 9600
thiw trick was find from user Minotavrs

tomtom 6 gps problem

i have a big problem with my artemis...
i updated the B&B 3.7 rom...and tomtom dont take signal from sat...
i updated the touch fluo rom...and tomtom dont take signal
i downgraded to original italian rom...and tomtom dont take signal
so i dont know what is the problem!!
when i bought my artemis tomtom was already installed in the phone (not sda)
so i downloaded the Cab from p2p and used it...it works in every way exept gps signal
i think its a problem of tomtom because with any rom i dont recive any response from sat! on tomtom.it site i cant download any Cab to install on phone..only tomtom home but i already have it on the DVD
anyone can help me or give me an advise?

Can you receive a signal at all? Is it greyed out or nothing?
When configuring GPS Hardware. Select another NMEA wired at 4800baud on COM4.

GPS problem

hello guys,
i have a great problem trying to use my internal gps of my dutch mda compact III (artemis) i have installed the PDAviet B&B 4.1 rom.
the problem i am having is that the gps cannot be found by any aplication. and the status led doesnt shine/blink (never seen it working).
i know i am using the right settings (gps program: com4, gps hardware: none, baudrate: 4800, and automatic use).
i've searched al over the place(xdadev. google) and couldnt find a solution.
so please if any one knows what is wrong, or a way to test my gps device at all, tell me!! thanks in advance`!!

have same problems,
Went to tomtom website and got tomtom 6 update(01.01.07) to start with.
Seems I did it reght as I got new splash screen on tomtom start up, got back the option for selecting "integrated gps receiver" rather than having to select the Nmea option.
But still invalid signal for now

In any application you just need to setup port on com4 and baud on 57600 or 115200.
I have tomtom and it works I’ve used miomap and it worked too.
btw: tomtom detects gps automatically as internal gps.

a+

Agree you can set it up to 4800

no i've not an external GPS...I'm trying to use the integrated one...Am I doing something wrong???

Should work fine
External GPS = COM9 (in Settings/Hardware/External GPS)
in TomTom6 set to 'Other NMEA', 57600 Baud, COM9

thank you but in Settings/Hardware/external GPS there are 3 tabs, one called programs, one called hardware and one called access (i think...is "accesso" in italian). How I have to set the 3 tabs????
In particular...
programs makes me choose a port that the softwares will use to communicate with GPS device
hardware makes me choose a port in which the GPS device is connected and the baud.
Access ask me if I want to automatic manage the GPS
What I have to set in each tab????
Thank you so much

Shouldn't matter set Progs to GPD1, HW to Com9 57600, Manage GPS Auto ON

TomTom & AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed

Hello,
I am wondering if AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed.rar is a GPS enabled rom. I cannot seem to connect using TomTom version 6.010. If it matters, my radio version is 1.50.08.11 and I am in the US.
TomTom Settings :
GPS receiver : Other NMEA Receiver
baud rate : 9600
GPS to com9
Thank you in advance!

But why don't ask this in the AX3L ROM Thread???
Don't you think AX3L will help you better?

Oh Yea it works!

AX3L 's AX3L_OS_v3.1.2_LITE_fixed.rar works the GPS great! I have less than 50% memory usage before kicking off the TomTom 6. It's been the fasted operation I have seen on the Trinity.
I'm using the TomTom 6 from HTC and maps from everywhere. It's a lot more stable than WM5 and I'm seeing a lot less memory card corruption. (4gig SD from TopRam)
What you might try is VITO Navigator II v1.3 to trouble shoot the problem. This little app can auto find the GPS module in the Trinity and give a display of all viewable sat's in about 5 seconds. There is no enable or disable needed, that app will turn on the gps and start working. It can even show you the raw data stream coming down.
TomTom has too much over head to trouble shoot with.
Been playing with GPS units for 8 years now, Palm3 to Sony N70 to HP 5450 and now Trinity.
