Re: Any hope of GPS unlock for Verizon Omnia?

I can confirm I have this working on the Omnia!

The basic problem with this phone and many other windows mobiles if the software either can't recognise or share the internal GPS.

The solution is to install an application called GPSGate. Below is a copy of a post from PPCSG forums for setting up TomTom, the same applies to Wherigo:



So the solution is to use the internal GPS through GPSGate.

So :

1. Configure WM6 (Settings - External GPS):
- Programs : COM2
- Hardware : COM9 baudrate : 9600
- Access : activate the check box
2. install GPSGate 2.5 (available here : GPSGate)
3. Configure GPSGate :
- Input : COM2 baudrate : 4800
- Output : COM6
4. Configure Tomtom :
- GPS Settings : Other NMEA, Speed : 4800, on Franson COM6
