Re: GPS on XV6900 Without Data
ALMOST THERE!!!

Double checked Location is "ON" and GPS managed automatically. Installed GPS Toggle and GPS Gate 2.6.0.280. I couldn't find input "WMGPS" so selected input "COM4" and output "Virtual COM2 / (All NMEA) NMEA Filter". GPS Toggle shows "Lock: 6" and GPS Gate Green icon confirms "GPS data with valid position."

Using WMMiniGPS, I get my location!

Using iGuidance shows sat 6/7 but the lat and lon coordinates jump around. If I enter a destination, it shows I'm "Outside of Map Area" / "Off Road." I've left it to see if it just needs time to lock but nothing happens. I also installed Garmin Mobile XT but my location keeps jumping around Africa. Any thoughts on how to get the GPS to communicate with the software?
