Re: GPS on XV6900 Without Data

Hi All, I was able to finally get Garmin to work. I had to install DeviceX to disable Port 4. After, I set up GPSGate input as "WMGPS" and output as "Virtual COM4 / (All NMEA) NMEA Filter." In Garmin, it now shows I'm using device "COM4:COM4 Franson" (Franson is the maker of GPS Gate) instead previously showing "COM4:COM4" and with my coordinates jumping around all the place.

My last question is if anybody has tips regarding getting faster satellite locks? Mine usually takes 2-5 minutes, maybe even a few tries since I get impatient and toggle the GPS on and off. I saw this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=496494&page=5
but it seems to be a aGPS fix instead of a standalone GPS fix. Also, looks like there's mix results whether it really works or not.
