sprint users will most likely need this info.

Should i use these settings or the ones in the jpeg pic on the first page when setting up via QPST?

the pde server ip and port go in both the registry and in QPST.

use the values for your carrier for each.

his post only has telus pde server, which is a trusted server, so any phone can use it without authentication. but because sprint and metro PCS need the PDE server to do the location calculation you will want to use your respective carrier. trusted servers usually use port 8888 or 8889.


do everything the 1st post says to do, until u get to that part where u enter the pde IP and PORT into qpst and the Registry. then use the pde IP and PORT from the link above to enter your carriers PDE IP and PORT.

Wait... so I hear different stuff... sorry if this is a noob question but...

I heard that Diamond had Tomtom already installed on the device? Is that true? Does it come on the Sprint version as well?

If so what are the steps... I don't see tomtom in the program list.

So if it's not in the list, it didn't come with it, because you're in America.

getting a lock is not my problem, it's getting this thing to report the correct position and not to lag displaying my real position. so do i still need to apply those things mentioned earlier in this section?

Okay has anyone experienced this yet.

Have followed the steps... everything looks good - phone reads back changes in QPST so I know it wrote correctly.

BUT gglmaps says no GPS found
BeeLineGPS also says GPS Connection Failed...

Thanks - it was the Com Port on the External GPS

Is there any reason why Windows Live Search wouldn't work after performing the various edits needed to enable GPS. Google maps works just fine but Live Search is non-functioning
