as for specs, im running oem sprint on my mogul, both igo my way 6 and igo 8 both "work" persay, but the gps wont connect. even when i manually set it to look in 4 @ 4800, and it still only looks on port 3&7.

im getting ready to pull my hair out, so the sooner some one could help me the better. (and im trying to stick with igo, so "switch to tomtom" or help that hat isnt going to be helpful)

thanks in advance

The ONLY way I could get iGo8 to work for me was to use GPSGate by Franson (free 14 day trial ->http://franson.com/gpsgate/). Created a virtual COM2 port and manually configures iGo8 to use com2 instead. Seems as if iGo8 doesn't like the onboard GPS so much for me. Works like a champ with GPSGate, however

To manually configure iGo, edit the sys.txt in the root iGo8 folder. This is ALL that I have in mine:

[GPS]
port=com2
baud=9600
