Here is what i did to get the Gps Working Smoothly. First download GPSgate.

Once you have it installed. configure it this way using manual mode.
Input-WM GPS
Output-Comm port 4 - 4800buad
Advanced - Start GPSgate after soft reset.
Soft reset your Vogue, you will get an error message stating that GPSgate didnt shutdown properly. check, never show me this message again and start after soft reset.
you will notice a GPSgate icon at the bottom of your today screen.
Start you GPS software. I.E. Windows live, Google Maps, TomTom, ect. they will get their GPS fixes quicker and more reliable. At least that is what im experiancing.
Im not sure about battery drain yet i have only been running this way for about 3 hrs.
I will post later to let you know what kind of battery drain is going to happen with GPSgate up and running all the time.
