Re: GPS on LG Fathom?

Here's a weird one:

GoogleMaps, VZnavigator, Bing all work fine with the GPS and regular settings. However, I don't wish to rely on data connections, so I prefer installing Tomtom, which has worked fine on my previous WMobile devices. On the Fathom, it does not find a gps connection with a gps launcher or even when primed with Googlemaps.

Even weirder: every time I install tomtom, it ruins bluetooth on my phone until I do a hard reset. The bluetooth in wireless manager disappears, and when I try to open the settings manually it says, "btmanager.exe is not a valid pocket pc application".

Why is GPS so much harder to utilize on this damn phone? Anyone tried software such as Tomtom, Garmin, etc, and got it to work? Suggestions? Thanks.
