Here's what I do. In the tool, using "FUNCTION" I select Mode="Cold Start", CHIP="Q7500", SET Mode="Cold Start".
Com Port is Com4, Baud Rate is 4800
Then I click "Open Port" and watch a scroll of data commence in the large text box. I assumed this meant that the GPS was now functioning.
However, I notice in this screen that "Satellite Used" remains at Zero as well as "Satellite Fixed".
Then I open Google Maps , it's manually configured for Com4 @ 4800 Baud. When I select "Use GPS" I get a upper screen bar "Seeking GPS Satellites" and then an ultimate failure message "cannot find Satellite.
Am I doing anything wrong?

I have the same issue. It appears that the NMEA strings that it's receiving are screwed up and garbled. I've also tried setting google maps to manually view com4 @ 4800 baud and it says an absurdly high amount of satellites i.e. 589870980.
It would be great if this got a little more information...does this gps fix require the agps hack? Is there any way that performing the hack before applying the fix screws up the fix?
Side question: is the "Serf Telus aGPS" really required for the agps fix? (ive read different strats to use the QPST software and hacking the gpsone data.
Anyways, thanks again, hopefully we can get some educated answered on these questions.
