Windows Mobile 6.5 and Garmin Mobile XT?

Maybe COM4 would wok but if you fire up GPS before using Garmin it can tend to freeze.

thnx MrObvious, but it is on com4 all da time... and I've tried on all other ports as well. Even after a fresh soft reset 95% of da time it finds 4-6 GPS, then drops it n says "Lost Satellite Reception"....

if all else fails, I'll do a fresh ROM installation. what r ya'll usin?!?!? I've been usin Mighty ROM 7, n i'll like to keep usin WM 6.5 (love da smooth scrolling)... any suggestion??

Hmm odd. You may wanna try to flash to a shipped ROM then back to MighyROM.

- Use Bluetooth GPS

- COM4: COM4:
- COM6: RIL on COM6:
- COM7: COM7:
- COM8: Serial on USB
- COM9: Virtual COM9

..................

Under Settings, System, External GPS,
on Programs tab, Make sure is set to COM4
on Hardware tab, Make sure set to (None) and 4800
on Access tab, Make sure is checked...

Softboot, then try changing Garmin to Intermediate Driver again...

Also, see Thread in Touch Pro Forum called something like, Does GPS ever just go Bad?

Exit google maps and try it again. If it doesn't work a second time, you may have the same issue many people are having with the GPS on Diamonds and Touch Pros. HERE's the thread in the diamond forum. I'm pretty sure the TP forum has one as well.
