Re: GPS on LG Fathom?

hey i just got the lg fathom(in fact typing from it right now) and i spent a few hours today trying to get GPS working. I actually saw your post before when searching how to get it to work. I finally figured it out.

First you have to make sure that your GPS is turned on to "Location on" through the gps setting under cdma services under phone (accessible throuugh options through dialpad)
Then you have to set the gps com port under settings > system > external gps to com4 (com9 and 3 and com1 don't work, one of them is for bluetooth, and not sure about the others)

that should be everything you need to get gps working, Now i'm trying to get quick gps working but get the error when loading blah bla blha signed drivers

this works for me with gmaps set to managed and gpsviewer can open com4 and give location stats
