Once it starts seeing more than 4 satellites AND it fixes then it works nicely with TomTom 7 and Google maps. I've tested driving with the TomTom - it was accurate although different than my TomTom6 with GlobalSat BT359 (always seems to say double the yards until turn but tells me to turn at the right time). The person who referred to priming the pump with the HTC GPS Tool had it right. It's as though my phone needs to warm up the satellite chip/antennae etc before it will work. During the time I wrote this it finally fixed. Maybe this is a good sign. If its consistent I will be happy even if I have to wait 5 minutes to fix. It's great that lllboredlll has been able to unlock this - many thanks.
I've noticed with my OnCourse2008 that I don't need to prime my GPS like I did on my Titan but I do with everything else I use the GPS for. As far as results go, I think there are definetly some variables that will definetly affect the results. An example would be last night I was gettin 6 or 7 to lock inside my house withing 15 seconds. This morning while on my way to work, it locked in 10 sats and seen 11 within 3 to 5 seconds. I am running the Telus radio. Sometime today I might to a radio experiment to see if there is any difference. There really shouldn't be but you never know until you try.

okay I got it to work. For all of you that this happens to. I simply changed the settings in google maps from automatic to COM4/4800 and it worked instantly.
When I use Google Maps, which I don't much. I end up having to prime my GPS with the HTC GPS Tool before Google Maps with function properly.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

re: PHASE II COMPLETE

this works great. i got phase I working yesterday and installed phase II today.
FYI, in the HTC GPS tool, it seems to default back to the SIRF chipset each time I re-open the tool. but i seems to continue working just fine. It also seems to default back to 57600 baud. I've left this like this and its continues to work well also. by the way, i'm still using the stock VZW ROM 1.03.605.4.

Great fix. Thanks very much.

Nick

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

I have a program called GPS Viewer that works just like the HTC Tool but you don't have to change the Chip set. I will post it when I get home tonight if anyone is interested.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

I was a Phase I user. I uninstalled GC's banner cab from add/remove and then followed the new instructions on page 1 exactly and all is working.

Great Job!

Excited to see if you can come up with an aGPS fix.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

Does the roaming triangle have any effect on my bill or is it mainly just a cosmetic thing because I c an live with it if it has no effect on anything but if it is costing me money then it would probably be best to make that change when available.

Are you running Phase I or Phase II of this project. Phase II has all of those issues resolved.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

I did the updated ,what i thought was phase II but still have the triangle and still can not get a fix with the GPS. I can not find the place to modify my Chip settings. I am a complete Newby when it comes to mods so anyone that can help...please do.
I did all the installs as requested and every other setting seems to be good. When I opened the GPS Tool it looks like it is doing soething bit there are no satelites on it.....anyone?

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

Bored.... I guess your alias says it all. I mean releasing v2 on Christmas!? NICE work. And a great present for all of us. We should call you "Santa" for this one! I'm VZW and if you haven't had a taker on the test, I can do that later today if need be!
