<program files/gpsserver folder, and followed the instructions requiring that you download a zip file from the web address given. You then drop the .dll files as specified into the gpsserver folder, then the folders for the programs that you want to use gps for such as google, live search.
I did this. However, i am not 100% dragging these .dll files were even necessary. But, so far:
Live Search picks up location instantly - must set settings for GPS at "GPS Intermediate Driver". I drove around with it and it followed me, so the signal is pretty static.
Google Maps also works the same. Make sure you set GPS options at at "Managed by Windows.
The good news... No need for unlocking or installing radios, or messing with AGPFix settings. Valhalla legends does the trick.
It rocks!
I haven't tried this on any other programs. But I see little reason it can't work as a full fledged GPS now.
I set GPS to com 4, (none), and Manage GPS automatically.
You may notice at work or in a building, it may not get signals. Try it in your car or in a parking lot to avoid unneeded frustration.
Now that I do not have a custom ROM, I installed the Throttle Launcher 9.5 cab file. Its very stable now and with after i installed all my apps from my storage card again, I feel like I HAVE A NEW DEVICE!

Congrats with getting Google Maps and Live Search rocking. Unfortunately apps like TomTom or iGo8 use COM based GPS, so they need to know specifically where your GPS is. I have had no luck getting iGo8 to see my GPS on its own, even though in QPST I know what COM port it is advertised on.
As you can see I am working on a number of combinations. Its a work in progress but keep up the good work.
