Does this work with the Mogul's internal GPS? Or do you have to have the BlueTooth GPS receiver?

Ive heard of not searching but WoW man look up post 14 & 16. Couldn't read 20 posts?
Another site I found for some more POI's is Travel By GPS found HERE.

How do you get it to recognize the internal GPS, it just keeps scanning for a bluetooth GPS and then an attached GPS, but never picks up the internal? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.

you have to launch the gps first before loading the software...

Make sure your GPS is set up right on your phone.
Phone settings: Settings - System - External GPS, "Programs tab "should be Com 4, and the "Hardware tab" should be GPS hardware port (None) Baud rate 4800.
Garmin settings: When you launch the Garmin app go to Settings - System - Remote GPS and make sure its set to Com 4.

No dont do that.

He is saying it works best if you use a program to activate the GPS before launching Garmin. This is a problem with many of the GPS programs, but I was under the impression that Garmin could activate the GPS without an intermediary.

i am having the same issue.
i pulled the download from the garmin site in the first post. problem is it states you should have a previous / full version alreadyinstalled as it is only an upgrade.
from there just trying to run i get stuck in the above listed scanning for attatched/ bluetooth.
when i skip that part and tell it to look for another gps device i get a pop up telling me its only allowed to be used with a garmin device

I have a TomTom 720 Go, and now that I found out about this Garmin I kinda wish I never bought it. The Garmin has just about everything you need in a GPS plus the layout is really easy to use and the POI's are categorized way better than TomTom's (IMO). As previously mentioned the only downside is it doesn't pronounce street names, but for $99 and no monthly fee its awesome.
