Modify the
HKLM -> ControlPanel -> GPS settings
by removing the Redirect entry.

Once that is done, you can pair the GPS reciever to the Omnia and use whatever GPS app you like. Google Maps and MS Live Search are good things to try out becasue they are FREE downloads. Right now I like Live Search better.

I too hope that VZ will release the update that pops the GPS loose soon. And becase the chatter on it being cracked like the Touch Pro has died down. I think that VZ will release it before any viable crack is issued. So I dusted off my HOLUX and it works just fine

Enjoy!

Thanks Shaz for the info. I really am mixed right now on whether to get an external gps or continue waiting it out. I lived w/o it on my apache and never bothered, however I really like google maps - just to name one proggy associated with gps, and would like to be able to finally have this function on my device.
