GPS not working in Google Maps

[bMwnut1]

I have a Verizon TP2 running Winmo 6.5. Stock ROM. I downloaded Google Maps 4.0 and can't get the GPS to work.

In Google Maps - Options
- Use GPS selected
- Location selected
- GPS Settings managed by Windows

On phone - GPS settings
- GPS program port set to COM4
- GPS hardware port set to none and baud to 4800
- Access set to manage automatically

I've done QuickGPS

I've unchecked backlight and sleep so the phone stays on.

Seeking GPS satellites (0) displays in upper right, but the 0 never changes

After a few minutes I get an error message of Weak GPS signals.

It makes no difference if I'm inside or outside.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

At first glance this looks similar to what I go through occasionally.
I typically leave mine set to "GPS setting managed by windows" any other way seems to gum up the system.

I also occasionally have to do a soft reset to get it up and running properly. Sorry I can't help more, hope one of those thing helps you get up and running.
Good Luck.

it's possible that the signal is bad. GPS on the TP2 wasnt so good

6.5 and google maps are like a match made in heaven here. Maybe your gps card is going bad?

in gmaps, c,hange your gps setting from automatic to manual and set the COM to 4 in gmaps.
