How To: Configure GPS

[briggs]

I'm running vista 64 bit

the drivers for vista on this guide do not work for either of my generic serial devices. I've tried installing through wizard and device manager, so I'm stuck on like step 3....

Advice?

I had some trouble initially with Juicy's 2.5 because of AGPS being enabled. Since disabling it, I've had no GPS problems. You can use Advanced Config to turn it off. (I just made a cab for that and my other reg tweaks).

I tried out the Tomtom7 download with the registry entries on the first post in this thread and noticed it fudged up the gps on my Sprint Diamond. I did a hard reset and now the gps is working fine again. Is there a link to download Tomtom7 without the registry changes?

Thanks again for all your help Tobey.
The Diamond is very happy right now (so is the wife)!!!

Should i use these settings or the ones in the jpeg pic on the first page when setting up via QPST?

the pde server ip and port go in both the registry and in QPST.

use the values for your carrier for each.

his post only has telus pde server, which is a trusted server, so any phone can use it without authentication. but because sprint and metro PCS need the PDE server to do the location calculation you will want to use your respective carrier. trusted servers usually use port 8888 or 8889.


do everything the 1st post says to do, until u get to that part where u enter the pde IP and PORT into qpst and the Registry. then use the pde IP and PORT from the link above to enter your carriers PDE IP and PORT.

Is there an alternative for vista 64 bit operating systems as the provided drivers do not work?

Thanks
