Yes! I had the same phones as you - 6700, 6800, and now the Touch Pro. The 6800 was a great phone, but the Touch Pro? I love it! So much better.

Okay, back on topic...

I can't wait for the aGPS fix! bored GPS fix v3 baby!

Thanks bored I just did the phase II and it worked flawlessly the way you posted that it should.

just followed steps 6 though 13 and it worked like a charm.

now for some geocaching!

Until aGPS is figured out I tried this: GPS TODAY http://www.geoterrestrial.com/

It basically keeps turning on GPS @ user set time intervals - keeping it alive. I have it set from 6am to 11pm. When I woke up this morning I had sats locked in about 15 seconds. Usually after a long time out from GPS it takes lots of minutes to re-acquire a signal.

I haven't fully tested the battery drain but this DOES work well FWIW.....

I'm tellin' you guys - try this - it really works. I have fast connections all day -.....I set to receive/instantiate GPS once an hour. And it's FREE....

I get no lock at all with the geo app you mention. With GPSTool it takes awhile to get a fix indoors, but with either iGuidance or PocketMap Navigator I get locks pretty quick - whether gpstool is run or not.

I guess I'll try the geo app outside when I get a chance to see if I can get a lock that way.

Can't get QuickGPS to run. I can install it OK, but when trying to launch it I get an error about it not being signed with a trusted certificate or missing a component. I have the Windows Mobile security policy set to allow unsigned applications to run (with a prompt) - I never got the prompt - just the error.

Can someone who has successfully installed QuickGPS on a stock Verizon Touch Pro post the cab that was used? It also seems there may be some registry changes necessary (due to server name changes) - I have those but it matters little until I can get the executable to run.
