I too a sick of waiting for the official release...but I did manage to get the update they put up on the HTC site for alltel before they took it down. Used the 4 enableGPS files and I have GPS working perfectly. I put garmin on and it works GREAT. I can get get locks inside the house and I used the navigation for a 3 hour trip I took this weekend...no problems. It even gave me the traffic updates and detours.

louie,
i think he just used the the evdo rev a rom thats been out for a while. its just not on the htc site anymore. it is on the htc servers still but no link on the htc website but u can still get it. u need to patch the rom for gps to work. its has GPS capabilities but is not officially supported. the patch its the 4 files thing.

I had a feeling that is what he was referring to. Installed them a couple of months back. Just wishfull thinking.

ok, see this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377

if u have a gps rom this will work. the key step is the unchecking and rechecking of the boxes part. must use qpst, not registry edit

it should work for the 6900

I can confirm that this does work with the 6900, after a hard reset, it will over write these settings, but still it is a long way to come, and now it does feel like there is actual GPS on the touch.

Does anyone know what WM build the new Alltel 6.1 will be? Just curious... Currently I'm using 20270.
