Unhappy GPS help please

I just got my TP.

tried to use GPS but could not make it work.

Google maps says "initializing" forever, and eventually freezes everything.
Live search says cannot find sats. Tried multiple times, with aGPS both enabled and disabled to no avail.

Any thoughts???

Thanks

Re: GPS help please

make sure your gps is set to COM 4, BAUD 4800, and have manage gps automatically checked. BTW if you just got your TP, do a hard reset, it wont hurt
