GMM and LiveSearch get a good fix, but every other app I've tried just get random lat and long values every second - and they seem completely random and all over the globe every second.

With GPSGate, I did like you said and used WM GPS for the input and for output I've tried various things - I assume the com port/NMEA is the correct one. My TomTom will get a satellite lock if I use the com port/NMEA I set up (com 8 ) or it will get a lock on com4. But it behaves the same either way - just random lat/long values.
But GPSGate won't go green until I fire up GMM. If I just fire up GPSGate, it won't get a fix from com4 without starting some other functional GPS app (GMM or LiveSearch).

A couple of things and please pardon if they seem trivial:

1) Phone network service is set to Location On right?
2) How did you install Valhalla? Cab or zip?

I have found that if a copy of gpsapi.dll is dropped into the directory of your fave nav app then it will work too. Again I am working through the fine details but it works well for me.

1. yes
2. I've installed it both ways (both "manually" and with cab), and to be honest I don't recall which way I did it the last time. But I have not had any issues getting GMM or LiveSearch to use GPS, with any configuration (any valid configuration, that is).

I'm probably going to start over again with the 6.1 ROM sometime this week ...
