Anybody get LiveSearch or Google Maps working with GPS?

My GPS receiver works fine with TomTom and SportsDo but I can't get Google Maps or LiveSearch to work with GPS.

Google Maps works fine for me, had to go into options and manually configure it rather than having it managed. Havn't tried Live with GPS

Iv'e gotten both to work, Live Search allows you to change the gps port in the program, where as google maps you have to select the port in the "external gps" in the settings/system. What really makes me mad is that after 1 min the screen turns off

Both are working on my device. I use the management piece in the settings and made mine Hardware port 7 and Software port 8, and iGuidance, Live and Google work fine. Sometimes I have to reset my device once the bluetooth receiver is turned on, but that is an oddity... honestly, I am not sure about that bug, but I would blame my receiver before I blame the unit, as the same issues occurred with my PPC-6700

Is this with the device's Internal GPS or an external bluetooth GPS?

External BT GPS adapter. There was a huge discussion about the internal GPS chip... I don't recall all the info but it either cannot be done, or there isn't even an internal GPS chip, just A-GPS.
