Trapster and internal GPS

[kpeters59]

Maybe I should have titled this thread just internal GPS... I thought I'd found out that the internal GPS needed to be unlocked to work with Trapster. However, unlocking didn't solve that. Maybe I HAVE to flash a new ROM?

The internal GPS does not register with either Trapster or Google Maps Mobile. I tried a bunch of different settings after default, and nothing seems to let Trapster get a lock. It just leaves me in CA...the HORROR! (It's a joke!!)

Now I've been told the GPS is NOT locked out of the box...

Can anybody please lend me a clue on how to get this working? I'd use it for golf maybe too...think how good I'd be with that!

Thanks,

All I did out of the box is run quick GPS and every GPS utility worked like a charm.
Now that's on Sprint.
Is your phone new? Are you running stock ROM? Do you have Quick GPS and have you ran it?
I know... Not an answer... But it might help get you closer to realizing how opening your eyes while driving works better than trapster. lol.

No on Quick GPS...what's that? Got a link?

Yes on stock ROM...so far...recommendations?

My eyes are open...but the little town I live in INSIDE of Houston, they've found a spot coming up the first on-ramp on the North side and hide behind the wall and stick the laser gun out...pretty hard to see. I've lived in this little town for 9 years now without any traffic tickets (every other kind of ticket!!) and I'd like to keep it that way...my 1998 Valentine is no longer reliable...

Thanks,

I have it working on my verizon stock rom. All I did out of the box was enable the gps in location settings...go to all settings-->personal--> phone, click on cdma services tab, highlight location setting and hit get settings, then make sure location is on. After that, I ran quick gps like the other suggestion stated and trapster runs fine.

If you go to your "All Programs" list, you should see "QuickGPS" it comes with stock WindowsMobile install on HTC TP2s.

Quick GPS is on verizon stock rom, you can find it in start menu, all applications.

OK...I found QuickGPS.

I got it working (YEA!!!).

The reference to QuickGPS led me down the correct path, but, I think, was not the cure. The cure, I believe, was GPS "Location" on, instead of just 911.

Now, if I get a ticket, who do I blame?

Since unlocking my phone, now Trapster will only run once and then I have to power off/on to get it to run again...

Thanks,

I was just kidding about the eyes open. I use trapster whenever I go somewhere unfamiliar.
I like to get all the help I can get and locals usually know what's up.
Also... Glad to hear you got it working.
