I came across the laptop program "googlemap + GPS tracker 13" but I can't get it to work with the Titan GPS... anyone have a solution?

Hate to bring this back up. Where can I fine the hack for Garmin GPS XT.

[metalgearx]

I still don't think it will lock. The GSM Tilt locks great overseas

Ok I read the thread here and havent see this.

There is simple GPS enabled cab install for the Verizon XV6800 new MR1 Rom update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...424387&page=12 thread 113 page 12.

After a simple cab install, I have Google Maps, Google Navigator, Live Search, TomTom6 and VZ Navigator working with no problems.

Well folks, it's an improvement. I can confirm that I can use the Sprint Mogul internal GPS in Germany without cell service (obviously).

I'm using ROM base 3.56 (using the Kitchen), Rom Date 6/16/2008, Radio 3.42.02

A few specifics. I used VisualGPS to monitor the lock progress. It does take a long time to get a cold lock, around 10+ minutes. Warm locks are a bit faster, perhaps 3-5 minutes with a clear view of the sky. Once it locks, it holds ok, even out the window of a moving S-Bahn.

I was also able to get a lock using TomTom7. TomTom doesn't like being in flight mode, but if you turn on Bluetooth, it fools it. Again, don't expect to use it on-demand due to the long initial lock time.

I did run into the occasional odd reboot where when trying to get a lock the PPC would suddenly reset. I'm guessing it's a bounds check or something in the driver that wasn't well debugged when accessing regions outside the US. I've never had a reboot on my current config, but got three over the last 24 hours of testing...


Anyway, let me know if there are any questions. I'll be here another couple of days if someone want's something tested.

gof... can u tell me if any of your GPS w/o internet is due to your custom ROM? I have the HTC rom with WM 6.1 (don't know the #'s) but it is the most current available from the US HTC site.... I use tomtom 7 and google etc all very well but want to know that if I ever get turned around, riding my Harley, and get myself lost in the Oregon wilderness, that I can bring up tomtom and find some cool way home... I have the HTC gps tool, but I don't think im using it right.... I hit open port (com4 usually) and #'s start flyin'.... if I wait a while it will get a lock on my position and show my coordinates and such (is this getting a "lock"?) if I hit launch nav, it dings, but nothing happens, if I open tomtom it still dials up...... am I not doing something right? or is it working right, and if there were no cell signal, it would still connect.... (havent been out of cell signal range since I got tomtom) thank u, all of you! I read here and @ xda daily and have for almost a year, I just never post......
