How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

[DarkLord]

I've got everything working pretty well. The only thing that's bugging me is that I'm used to my BT GPS accessing 10 satellites at a time and so far the most I get with the internal GPS is 5. Can someone please verify that's the number I should be getting?

I've seen a lot more than 5 using GPS viewer but haven't received more than 5 locks... And the ##33284 page only shows stats for 6 sats.

I have GPS to Work as I said on a Bell Touch Vogue - It works Great! Thanks Again ImCoKeMaN !! Uh, one question tho... the AllTel rom included iGuidance Launcher and TomTom Launcher - Neither really do anything. Or did I miss something. I get the windows "wait till I'm done icon" for a second then Nothing. Does anyone else have any info on this? and also What is the Best GPS Mapping Software? I Hear TomTom is best, but by how? Graphics, map detail, UI, what? I suspect no matter what software I go with I'll have to pay for new maps... Garmin works, but it is trial and I have no Idea how to get maps on there.... Any suggestions, or anyone using GPS Nav. software have any reviews they'd like to share?

I got 12 at one time - I only get 5 if I'm inside...Depends what Software you use.

Since we got GPS working on the Vogue, can we set up a thread explaing what GPS Software will work best with this and costs,etc, anything we'd need to know what is best for the Vogue.. Experiences, and trials and trbulations... I would be willing to test anyway I can. My Vogue and GPS works Great!
