Re: anyone know who exactly hacked the GPS chip?

while it is certainly possible,

drivers aren't there, and other supporting code, such as the radio just isn't there. i've seen work on the hermes where they have enabled gps, but due to lack of antenna fix was very poor. the main difference with hermes though, is that gsm radios are generally compatible with similar devices, but i have not seen the same with cdma radios (starting to see that with vogue/titan though) what does this mean in short? unless a carrier decided to enable it, and the antenna is somehow added, don't count on it. As for coding your own drivers and radio, most likely too complicated, and if you were able to do it, im sure youd be able to buy a mogul every day, so why bother?
