ok i think u chagning the wrong setting.

there are 3 tabs in the 'External GPS' settings menu.
they are 'Programs', 'Hardware', 'Access'

under 'Programs' tab:
GPS program port: COM4

under 'Hardware' tab:
GPS hardware port: (None)
Baudrate: 4800

under 'Access' tab:
Manage GPS automatically: Enabled (Check mark is there)



in google maps,

goto menu\options\GPS Setting...

Managed By Windows: enabled (mark is there)

i tried the first enable gps .cab, couldnt find the ''4 .cabs'' everyones talking about.
got the new cab that supposedly has the 4 cabs already enabled, set all the gps settings correct and still gps does not work.

Re: GPS on alltel 6800 - easy way
 

did u see the troubeshooting section? did you go through each step to ensure you are set up correctly?

go back to post #1 and read the troubleshooting section.

Re: GPS on alltel 6800 - easy way
 

yep, all the settings are correct, did many soft resets and even *228, i even went as far as to walk outside last night and literally hold my phone up in the air because it was wide open and clear outside and i still got nothing.


on a second note; i did notice that my external gps is under system instead of connections like it was sated in the troubleshooter in 1st post, not sure but i think i remember seeing with new rom update it said it wuz supposed to move exteral gps into the connections tab, but mine is still in settings/system tab..... dont know if that has anything to do with my problem

Re: GPS on alltel 6800 - easy way
 

Hey these is cool ti find again lol i had erased it but i got it back thanx

Re: GPS on alltel 6800 - easy way
 

What does it say when you push Use GPS on Google Maps? Does it say it is looking for Satellites?

Re: GPS on alltel 6800 - easy way
 

if u had the zip file with the 4 cabs then it will be in system, the cab i made moves it to connections. this doesnt make a difference where it is.

i have updated the 1st post. u will need to check it again. it has all the trouble shooting steps. if it doesnt work then u are doing something wrong or have done something wrong. all u need to do is install a cab and soft reset. i dont know what to say other then read the troubleshooting section. read it again very carefully and dont skip over it. if u resolve ur issue please share what u did. perhaps u have a problem that i am unaware of. good luck
