You have to enable the "location service" and you have to program the external gps to COM4 in software and None in hardware.
Everything is very well explained in the first post and googlemaps is working with those settings.

About Tomtom though, I was only able to use it with googlemaps accessing the gps in the background and tomtom configured to "another nemra GPS" or something like that linked to COM4...is there a workaround for that?

Thanks to everyone, I've been able to update my Telus touch without any problems!
