In the device Info page this is what it says:
ROM version: 3.14.605.1
Radio Version: 3.37.78
PRL versio: 51250
PRI version: 2.03_002
After reading most of this page http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59 Spetrillo said that he had got his GPS working with customizations so I followed what he did and I installed Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab then installed GpsGate. I then installed Garmin Mobile and copied gpsapi.dll into the Garmin folder. I set the input for GpsGate to WM GPS and output to a Virtual COM8/All NMEA. GpsGate says it gets GPS data but no position. When i open Garmin Mobile it says it is searching for satellites but I went outside and it never got a signal.
So my question is: Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can get the internal GPS to work with the offical Verizon ROM that had cuztomizations run? |
I dont use Garmin so cannot comment on it. If it is COM based then GPSGate should work. I have found that not all software works entirely perfectly. I think there is another option when picking the virtual comm port. Dont pick NMEA, unless you know Garmin is a NMEA aware app.
A couple things you could try. Does Google Maps work with GPSGate and Valhalla? That is usually the first thing I do. Its easy and gets you in the game. Once you get that going then I would move onto Garmin.
I would be happy to assist. You can reach me at
