Have you tried the "Leaked Official Verizon ROM". I ran the rom, let customazations run and the GPS works! Use VallahaGPS and HTC's Titan Quick GPS and you'll have locks in 15 seconds! Mine works great in MS Live and Google. No problems. You might have to have the phone reauthenticated, simple call to tech support to fix it if you can't do the *228 over the air programming. GOOD LUCK!

I am using the most recent version of GPSGate. I have set the input to WMGps and the output to com4, baud rate4800, also I have set the output to virtual com4 nmea no filter. When I use WMminigps it locks in to my position with no problem and the same with HTCGps viewer. When I start up IGo8 it sees my gps receiver and get plenty of satellites, but it never locks to my current position, it shows my position jumping all over the world. Its almost as if the GPS data is getting scrambled before it is sent to IGo8. I uninstalled TomTom, but the same thing happens with TomTom

Mijenix,

I think the problem is using COM4 as the GpsGate output port, since by default WM uses COM4 for internal GPS, they will interfere with each other. Try to set the GpsGate output to COM2 nmea no filter only, and then configure IGo8 to use COM2 for GPS. Good Luck!

Stevens,

I had tried that before and it didn't work. But now for some strange reason it is locking on to satellites and locking my position very quickly and accurately=D>. Lets hope that this has solved the problem. Thanks for all your input. I'll keep you informed.

Mijenix,

That's great! I think this should be it. You can also try other COM ports as long as it's not COM4. Cheers.
