Gps on vogue, not mogul update, touch dual info from xda

Firstly the whole mogul update is really inspiring... Cant wait until we get ours, but I ran across this, apparently ripped from the dual enabling gps, maybe someone with a little more know how can "test" it out. I would, but there are two exe. files, and I don't know which to execute first, or even if it matters... FYI

in on juan!

I doubt it'd work as it's for the 7200, not the 7500, so right there presents a large possible... Just open both exe's and see what happens?

com7 opens but so far, no data. Same position where my Mogul got a fix in about 3 minutes

so does the Touch have a built in GPS receiver like the mogul? Or will we have to buy one if GPS gets enabled because I never saw anything about GPS getting enabled on this phone.

check out your user manual page 73. it says the touch has an internal gps antenna!

sprint touch user manual page 48, under location settings...

"Allow the mobile phone network to detect your current location via your device’s built-in GPS chip. This is especially useful in times of emergency.
On the upper right of the Phone screen, one of these icons will be shown:
LOCATION ON (your location can be detected)
LOCATION OFF (your location cannot be detected except by 911)"
