I have heard alot of possibilities but nothing quite this specific.

Thanks,

Ok now the update...I installed the Valhalla cab, and not the individual files, rebooted and started GPSGate. I can confirm that iGo8 works perfectly with SAT locks in about 20 secs. Not too bad and I am such a jerk for not going with the cab initially.
Steve-
Last night I loaded Franson GPSGate (had already done the flash (twice) and Valhalla cab) and Google maps worked in 5 sec, perfectly. I fooled with it for a good while trying to get Tom Tom working as someone had posted in this thread that they had good success. It was to no avail. Today I tried google maps no go, very disappointing. Have you any idea what happened or what to do? I did blow it by letting customization go through. I don't know what to do next. Jackies solution is a bit more that I want to tackle right now.

thanks leslie
