Do you allow the VZ customizations to run?

Did you install the valhalla gps gateway, or is this straight up from the rom? With customizations?

[JWhipple]

Verizon rom update, yes on the customizations, then vahalla.

make sure all settings are as they are documented on that page linked above, install vahalla, then soft reset.

Fire up Google Maps or Live Search and BINGO!

I'm going to try Tom Tom shortly.

Got the Valhalla GPS Server installed but gpsGate can't see it. Any ideas?

[JWhipple]

Hmmm not sure since I've never used gspGate.

If someone knows how to get it to work with Garmin Mobile XT and not need gpsGate that would be even better.
