Take it from a newb who just did this.

It WILL work if you follow shadow-techs step by step instructions.

I did not need to download any new ROM cause mine was sufficient.
So I downloaded the Enable GPS Patch, installed all four files. The two that you say didn't download, actually did. I thought the same thing but they are so fast and tiny that all you see is the flicker of the screen if you can even catch that.

Then go to Start/Settings/System (tab)/External GPS

Programs tab should be set at COM4
Hardware tab should be set at (None) and 4800
Access tab should be set at (check the box)

Soft reset (use stylus to push little button in hole right next to the memory slot)
Now I'm using Google Maps Mobile and if your using the same here are the setting for it.

Open program go to menu click on "Use GPS"

The initial satelite lock on took me approximately 5 minutes. Make sure your outside because if indoors satelites have a harder time finding you.

Seeking GPS satellites will appear on upper right hand of screen.


This is the exact process I followed and it works like a charm.
Good luck
