is there anyway i can check my GPS position.
i've installed tomtom 7 but it doesnt work.
it says no GPS device
how do i check if my gps reciever is on or connected
thanks
Your GPS should automatically turn on with TTN7. Presuming that you have not messed around with the "external GPS" settings that can be found in the start menu -> settings page, the display in TTN7 should change from "No GPS DEvice" to "waiting for Valid GPS". This can take around 5 to 10 seconds. To get a first satalite fix, make sure you are outside, and be patient - first fix can take a while to get (upto 20 mins).
If that don't work, try setting GPS manually in your navigation application.
Set to COM4 , speed 9600 or 4800.
Have just got my TP on Vodafone UK, it does not have GPS enabled, is there any way I can enable it
What do you mean? There is no GPS in Start -> Settings?
Anyway try this "must have" tool from schaps so you can manage a lot of settings, GPS included.
NO GPS

IF I load TomTom 6, it can not fin the internal GPS, I can connect to an external GPS via Bluetooth
Sounds to me like you've got the version of tomtom that doesn't have the option of choosing the internal GPS.
Download GPSTest to see whether the GPS is automatically detected.
can i suggest u try gps test n see what that does
also try it with google maps
i think this might be a handset fault tho cant see why it would be disabled as its a selling point
Im 99% sure that TT6 doesnt support internal GPS modules, had the same problem with my N95....or come to think of it was that TT5? Hmmmm im not so sure now lol...
TT6 worked fine on my MDAC3 with internal GPS.
Funnily enough, the Voda specs page makes no mention of GPS at all

have you tried Other NMEA GPS-reciever, baudrate 4800, COM4 already?
NO GPS
Your right vodafone does not show GPS
Have tried it with Google Maps and will try it with GPStest this evening.
Spoke to Vodafone are going to send another handset
have also tried Other NMEA GPS-reciever, baudrate 4800, COM4
I have a Vodafone handset and thought the same as you.
It does have a GPS and it does work with TOMTOM 6.
1. Go to programs and slect quickgps and download.
Then go into tomtom and under showgps satus select configure and choose other NMEA GPS, slect baud rate 57600 and then load a destination.
Make sure you are outside tho and it might take 25 mins to get your first ever fix.
Mine connects within seconds now.
Good luck and let me know if I can help you further.
Could someone post the link to the Tom Tom 6 or 7 cab file for the Touch Pro?
Thanks
Regards,
Neil

The traffic subscription is registered to your account, therefore it will work on version 6 or version 7. However, your maps (6.75?) will not work with tomtom 7, but you can purchase new maps from tomtom home as the touch pro is now recognised by the tomtom home application (version 2.4 or above)

I'm also facing a similar problem. Google Maps is unable to detect the internal gps receiver.
When I run, GPS Test, it just shows the GPS starting up message (with 2 yellow bars, sometimes only one). I have run quick gps and downloaded the satellite data twice already.
Can somebody please help me?
Is there a known problem with the shared GPS port on the X7510?
If I use 3dtracking (http://free.3dtracking.net) it just locks up (the app, and sometimes the machine), but it's find on the direct port, but that locks out other GPS apps, eg. TomTom.
Recently I started using Google Latitude, and after a while with TomTom as the focus, it (TomTom) loses the satellite lock, and when I switch to Google Maps it starts with "Initializing GPS" and also picks up nothing. A reset is necessary to get GPS working again.
Anyone else had similar problems?

I'm seeing a similar issue, though no locking.
SatNav programs (TomTom and iGO8) can see the GPS Port on either COM4 or COM5
Spb Weather, which does not have any GPS Port configuration options, so must use the MS GPSID cannot obtain data from the GPS receiver.
Spb Weather can turn the GPS receiver on, as it starts the amber LED flashing, but no data is extracted, and the location query fails. It then fails to turn the GPS off again.
It works fine on the HTC Diamond
Hello,
I just recently flashed to Elite RC4, and now my GPS is not working,
I am running the 1.14.25.05 Raphael radio and have installed the corresponding rilphone.dll.
In particular, when I try to start up Visual GPS ce, I get an error message that it "cannot initialize communication buffer".
I adjusted the COM port of visual GPS to COM4, which is what I have set in my external GPS settings, but now it says "16 satellites in view", though they are all bunched up at the top of the satellite diagram.
None of the other GPS programs can get a lock.
I do not have a hardware GPS port in the external GPS settings enabled, but I do have the "automatically manage GPS" option enabled.
Can anyone suggest what I can do? Perhaps try a new ROM, or a radio?
Thank you!
Bump.
As a note I have also tried the latest Energy ROM on the phone, v 23001 and have had the same problem with the GPS not working.
having issues with my Fuze as i recently installed TOM TOM 6.032. I have tried playing around with the Baud and COM settings but i get the same message "No Valid GPS signal".
i have tried changing the GPS receiver types and also by enabling Bluetooth and etc.
Please help!!
a) can you get a GPS lock using ChartCross GPS or the HTC GPS app?
b) are you sure you set TomTom to COM4, BaudRate 4800 or 9600?
-> make sure you get a GPS lock using the apps in (a), then close that app, then launch TomTom... TomTom shouldn't take more than a minutes to get a GPS lock since this is a hot start
