Re: GPS on XV6900 Without Data

Change the registry setting in Valhalla GPSServer as follows:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=0, then soft reset.

This one disables the AGPS mode to use the GPS standalone mode. So no data plan is necessary. The lock is not as fast as agps but still locks in 2 min in cold start in open ground. The satellite number is not as many either, but still OK to get Google Maps and iGuidance working.

If it doesn't lock sometimes, just soft reset the phone.

Thanks Thenikonian for the great tips!
Don't you need a data plan to get the maps? If so it totally defeats the "gps without data" in the first place, unless there is alternative software????

MR4,

As I understand it, as long as you have a gps capable radio you should be good. I don't think one is preferred over another one.
