Exclamation Getting google maps to work on TP

Hey guys this my first post so bare with me. I was messing with the google maps mobile and figured out how to get it to connect using the TP internal GPS. I am going to lay out the steps i used and let me know if it worked for you.

1. Go to SETTINGS>ALL SETTINGS>SYSTEM TAB>EXTERNAL GPS

A. FROM HERE MAKE SURE THESE SETTING ARE APPLIED.

PROGRAMS TAB> GPS Program port = COM0

HARDWARE TAB> GPS Hardware port = None
Baud Rate = 4800

ACCESS TAB> Manage GPS Automatically = on (check the box)

Ok thats half of the Solution...

2. Open Google maps application

A. From the main screen Go to > Menu > Options >GPS settings

Click on Set Manually. Apply these Settings: COM0 and 4800

B. Make sure to press OK and then go to Menu from the main
screen of google maps and select use GPS.

And thats all, Now when you click find me you will see "seeking GPS satellites" and some numbers in Parenthesis for example (378273088 ) is what it is on my phone and after about 1 min it should find you. I did notice also you should be outside to get the best results. Even with 3 bars in my Apartment in the Bronx (New York For those who don't know where that is) i had weak gps signal.

Also I am using Mighty Rom 4.16/Telus radio so i think is should work for any Rom/radio
Hope this helps you guys.
