has any one used rikaline gps system with tom tom city maps i am unable to make a connection is it somthing to do with the ir port beong switched on or off
rilkaline gps mouse
hi I also have a rilkaline 6010 gps mouse, and it does not send any valid serial output. Some characters are transmited, but they are wrong. It should operate in ASCII mode but I receive no valid signals. I tested the signal by oscilloscope and by the serial scanner. Is the problem the same?
Beams should be uncecked under settings/connections/beams. I think the gps settings should work with tomtom gps chosen or try nmea 4800, com 1.
had same prob found out it was faulty gps from ebay lol so sent back for a replacement and the replacement actually sends gps data to the xda now
Rookie question here: Is it possible to share my Trinity's GPS unit with my Wizard over a Bluetooth connection? Now I don't know if Bluetooth is required to be enabled when using GPS because the Trinity communicates to the GPS unit over BT or if it's just something to get the damn thing working but if it does actually send the GPS data over BT, how would one set the other phone to use this signal?
Thanks.

Try GPSgate http://www.franson.com/gpsgate/
I have shared Trinity's GPS with my laptop before, I don't see any reason why not between two phone.
GPS data is a one way data stream, so you can record it or redirect it to any virtual COM port on any device designed for it.
But I think GPSgate is the only app I can recall that does it nicely.
Also checkout the PocketPC Experts' reviews of GPS software for other possibilities.

You may try also GPS2Blue (http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html) - benefits: it's freeware.
Thanks fellas for your wonderful suggestions. I'm looking into them now.
Hello,
i am a little bit convused about the G-sensor on Jade
i have read on many previews on german websites that the jade have this sensor but i can't get it to work
In the registry i found a lot of keys if i change these noting happens.
Is there this sensor in jade if yes how i can get this to work?
i hope somebody understand my bad english *sorry*

The Touch 3G does _not_ have a G sensor.
its the same with gps. I've read in several sites that it had gps. Its wrong. only agps.

AGPS includes GPS ;-)

AGPS means Assisted GPS and enhances the startup performance of a GPS. This feature goes only with GPS and Jade has both of them.
R u telling me that this phone has a gps in the same way that the touch cruise has a gps?
Yes, it has its own gps just like the Cruise.
Do you have a jade? I ask this because i cant find ANY gps software in the htc. I have igo installed and it only recognizes the bluetooth gps i use.
Another thing, some websites state GPS and agps while others only mention agps.
EDIT: which specs does the gps have? Is it sirf III? Why can't i find any specs regarding any gps, other than agps?
I have a Jade, and yes it has GPS, TT7 installed, working fine, I tweaked the phone a little and disabled aGPS, using com4 9600.
Hope this helps.
Unbelievable! For a week now i've had this phone and i have not found anything about gps. I'm using an external antenna.
Can anyone tell me the specs of the gps?
I am not sure if it is needed, but I used QuickGPS to set the hardwareport for programs on comport4.
After that I installed TT7 and placed the receiver on "Other NMEA GPS receiver, 9600b.
Working nicely, even inside although ofcourse better working outside.
What I do know that at the first time with every TT version, you have to wait a minute or so before its starting to pickup signals.
Why don't you just have a look at the official HTC specs ?

or
http://www.htc.com/europe/product/touch3g/specification.html
Yes, i saw the specs on the site, but not on the phone! How do i turn it on or off? is it always on? where in the user manual do they talk about the freakin gps?!
another win for the windows mobile.

Gotta agree here. My brother got an Omnia i900 an he had a hard time figuring out how to use the GPS, too.
But I guess someone here will explain it to you. I don't own the Jade yet.
The GPS is activated only if a (navigation) software is active and configured to use the GPS, if no such soft is started the gps is not used. If you have a navigation software active/started and the gps has not the right settings like wrong com port, then the GPS is not used, so it's OFF.
oK, I'll test it today.
Yesterday i read the user manual and the only reference was to the Quick GPS app.
No where else is mentioned the gps capabilities of this phone.
How do i know its not using agps and not standard gps?
Quick GPS is only for faster positioning (download information of satellites by GPRS, WiFi or ActiveSync). Helping program only. You need of some GPS program in order to run GPS. In this program you need first to configure port and speed. Especially in Jade these settings are com-4 and speed-57600 (IGO). But in some other programs may be is different.
Kudos to you guys!
Gps is alive. Tested on both igo and tom tom.

How do you disabled aGPS ?
Is using com4 9600 enough to disabled it ?

WRONG my HTC Touch 3G aka Jade has a build-in GPS reveiver
Hi, can anyone confirm that the built in gps only reports the current position? I use tomtom 7.450 and on my diamond in the gps configuration page it would indicate satelite number, position (both in the top right circles) and signal strength for each satelite (grey/blue bars at the bottom).
My HD2 with 1.48 does not report any satelite data (at least not to tomtom), but only the position east and north. Can anyone confirm this? And is there a way to get satelite "debug" output as well?
Thanks...
EDIT: Seems to be an issue with that particular version of tomtom only.
hi mcseven,
im using tomtom7.45 as well and im getting the same results. i think you are right in your suspicions. the gps probably only outputs lat (N/S) and long (E/W). not just N and E.
the last time i used a BT gps receiver from Holux and that gave me satellite info + gps data but i felt that the lag from the BT connection was a pain and as such still use the internal gps.
what do you intend to do with the satellite info anyways?
I get the same sometimes with leo but never had the problem with Raphael.
I saw a thread discussing this issue a little while back, but I can't remember the exact cause.
I DO remember though that it is an issue with TomTom, and nothing wrong with the GPS functionality.
For example, if I run TomTom, it will locate my position, but not show an satellite connections. However, if I run CoPilot, that locates my position and shows how many satellites I'm connected to and their signal strength.
Sorry I can't remember what the agreed cause of this was, but it was definitely NOT the GPS in the phone.
hi,
i think its a tom tom thing, because if u get gps position you also get satelite data. i do a quick test with igo, copilot, visualgpsce and gpstuner. the are all showing the number of sat's, there position in the sky and the other stuff.
regards mad.
I use TomTom 7.910 and it works normally...Displays both signal strength and satellite just as before. So it's either a pb with your version of TomTom as others suggested or with your ROM.
Thank you all, I also believe it to be an issue with tomtom 7.450 only. Navigons shows sat. data as expected, and the NMEA output confirms this. So I'll simply upgrade tomtom. Thanks again...
Recently obtained a HTC HD locked to orange network with stock radio 1.09.25.14. Updated to radio 1.17.25.09 using uspl.
Previously Tomtom setting is to use "built-in" GPS and Garmin uses "Serial GPS". After the update no GPS signals displayed unless you set TomTom to use "Use other NMEA GPS" and Garmin to "Intermediate Driver".
With the new radio, Tomtom locks onto gps much quicker and show higher signal strength (tested inside house!) but Garmin show a slightly lower signal strength (subjective opinion).
Hope the above will help others and comments most welcome.
That's strange
I use radio 1.17 and tomtom says it's using internal gps.
I guess it depends which version of Tomtom you have, because mine (7.910) seems to auto-detect the gps no matter which setting its on, internal gps or nmea other device. I agree that the latest 1.17.25.09 radio is the best though, as locking on is really quick and does work in buildings nicely.
