Re: successful reflash but...

Welcome,

But you are going to get flamed on here very quickly if you cant figure out how to search out old conversations.
How-To Get GPS Working Every time (added by mindfrost82):
- Download GpsViewer.PPC300_2577.cab.zip(Holux GPS Viewer)(free)
- Run that program before you run any other GPS program
- Set it to Com4 and click Open
- Be near a window to get a fast lock on GPS (mine still works inside my house though)
- When you start to see what looks like lat/long in the display minimize it (don't close it)
- Now run Google Maps (or any other app) and set it to Com4 (or automatic should work too)
- It should pickup GPS right away since the GPS Viewer already has the locks
- Remember to close the Holux GPS Viewer when you're done or it'll constantly use GPS and drain your battery!




This works for me everytime. it does take a few minutes though.
