It took me a few days but I was able to do all of the steps as listed above. I also installed juicy 4.13 which has quick gps which seems to work in that I can download the updates.
My GPS does not seem to work. Any ideas ? Any suggestions ?
The settings I have for the GPS on the phone in settings are
- gps program port com 4
- no hardware port and baud rate 4800
- let windows manage access
I have google maps and Tom TOm 7 from Tobeychris
for google gps settings are just 'managed by windows' . the phone looks for satellites and nothing else happens
for tom tom gps receiver is set to 'built in receiver' and says the same thing.. seeking satellites, etc...
many thanks....

In tomtom 6 my gps wouldn't work either with those settings, I used instead "other wired receiver" "com 4" but for baud rate I had to use "56400"<<<<not sure the exact number but it's the 50000 one.
Try the HTC GPS tool and see if you see satellites being found with it or look when you open tomtom, in tt6 its under preference/satellite status.
Or try the attached program to see whats happening......just put the exe. on your phone or card then click on it with file explorer to start it, select the baud and click open/start. This should at least give you and idea of what's happening.
Oh and the easiest simple thing that sometimes happens is people have their "location" turned off, just check by going to Start/settings/phone/services/ highlight Location and click get settings.....needs to be ON
