Okay, I'll try somewhere else in that case

I did follow the directions (to the T), and am not experiencing the GPS enjoyment I had hoped for... :-)

What did you hope for? Does it work at all?

I'm running scrosler's first VZW rom. Anyone know what's up?

Have patience and try resetting your location (go to 911 only then Location On). Also for some reason I'm able to get locks with Garmin XT easily whereas Google Maps and HTC GPS Tool have difficulty - but be sure to be by a window when inside

I tried following the directions in the first post for a fresh install (not having done Phase I) and no joy yet. I am unable to locate this "Location ON" thing though. Can anyone describe a little bit clearly where this setting is?

This is my first winmo device so I'm a little new with the interface, but am quick to pick up on things.

From your phone dialer click menu..options...Services...Get Settings..and you'll see it

I cant say this enough. Google maps sucks! It is always the worst at locking. I speak from many hours exp on this one. If google doesnt work then try other program like Live search.

AWESOME.... It didn't work the first time, but followed steps 6-13 a second time, and it started working... btw make sure you set google maps to "manual, com4, 4800 baud"

Using the HTC GPS Tool, I can now see "Satellites Used:" increasing, seen as high as 5 or so. But nothing ever gets Fixed. And Google Maps sees nothing. Any ideas?

Am I correct to assume that since it is using the satellites now, that the GPS is "unlocked" correctly at least?

EDIT: Live Search doesn't seem to be connecting to the satellites either. Just displays "Waiting for GPS..." for a while then says it lost the connection :(
