Question regarding Mobile XT and WAAS/EGNOS. I was looking through the manual for Mobile XT, and it says to enable WAAS/EGNOS, to select it in the remote GPS information page. I don't see it there though. Is this option actually available?

here's a cap of the page from the manual:

Ok I have figured it out everytime I make a post about something I learn how to do it or do it better a few minutes after I post LOL
As far as the draggable maps goes when you are navigating or on the view map page all you have to do is tap the arrow and it takes you directly to the draggable screen.I found this while playing around with this less than an hour after I posted earlier.
As far as the Waas and Egnos it looks like that may only be if your using the garmin reciever that that comes up couldnt get it to come up on the internal gps of my mogul or my bluetooth as well.

I have tried tomtom and inav which booth ran ok on my 6800. Now I installed garmin xt and it does not find the gps. Is there anything extra I need to do ? I have ver 4.10.40wp.
I have updated to 4.20.50
It says connection to garmin devices only. I guess I need to downgrade to 4.20.20

I have .50w and I still have the clock problem.
Everytime I lost GPS fix, it will change my clock to 7:00 and bring up my alarm, it is annoying.
I heard if use com4 instead of intermediate driver can avoid this problem. But every time I set it to com4 it will always revert back to intermediate dunno why.

ahhh....what a cute little kitty. I think he is asking if anyone is going to cab like install and just make it start working without having to jump through any hoops. Which isn't really possible without it being a warez issue. With that, if it was ever done, you wouldn't fine a complete file package on this web site.

LOL
I think he means hes to lazy to steal the software on his own and wants someone to do the work for him.

There is a very simple way to get everything you need to run a Garmin GPS on your 6800...buy the chip w/ bluetooth GPS.
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=139&pID=10901

I love the bluetooth GPS and even found extra Nokia batteries for it on eBay, although it does charge from the same USB cable as the phone. But I couldn't get the chip to recognize the 6800's GPS and I couldn't figure out what all you digit heads were talking about with all the street and time problems, but kept on reading because I figured somewhere in this thread I could find the answer to getting the chip to find the internal GPS. The update to 4.20.50wp did the trick.

If you buy the pair above, there's no problems with files or set up or POI's. Just put in the 2gig chip and it self installs with all the roads and POI's. You can even use the memory that's left on the chip for your own files. The only thing you have to do is set the Garmin to 'Use GPS intermediate driver' instead of Bluetooth.

And I've watched my unit lose sats 4 times now while inside the house w/ no time problems.

Thanks for all the help...what a trip.
