Garmin Mobile XT Gps Lag

[nuprotocol]

I searched and couldn't find a answer. I know some of you are using Garmin Mobile XT fine on your Sprint TP2's. However on my Sprint TP2, it's not exactly on point when riding down the road and being tracked. I'll pass a turn and then after a minute, the car on the screen passes the turn. I didn't have these problems on my TP, just the TP2.

My question is: Is there a way to fix the lag and make it track me faster? Or is there a problem with the phone itself? I saw the GPS configure sticky, but my GPS is already configured and is working, it's just slow.

Thanks for any help!

I use Garmin Mobile XT but on VZW, NO lag at all whatsoever

How are you using Garmin XT?
I thought that you had to use Garmin's SD card...

Can anyone help me out, I would love Garmin XT...just not sure how to get it running

[Herbal954]

well i think technically you do, not gonna say any more

PM me for the card fix & yes, they all lag (that is an inherent problem of the TP2)

Anyone claiming no lag doesn't know what lag is.

I use igo8 and have no lag whatsoever, recommend it.

Guys, there is a fix for this.

To prevent the lag for now, use GPSGate.

I told everyone to use GPSGate on the TT7 and thats the temp fix for now. Check the TT7 thread.

I dont have the TP2.

I use Garmin on the TP2 as I have on several other devices with no lag. I ran it side-by-side with both my Garmin Nuvi 265WT and Garmin Mobile on the laptop. No lag...period.

I love these threads.

There is always somebody who has "absolutely no lag whatever" when every other identical device on the planet is showing some small lag........LOL
