well if you select driver setting than either you need to have a active gps device in your car or need to know for sure that someone right next to you has a gps in their car, otherwise this won't work.
You can change the option for gps port. Not sure what it is on rapheal but on kaiser it was com port 4 or if there is a option than let windows manage it automatically.
Worked for me
on fuze, menu-settings then chose intermediate driver. Clicked on new location, then use gps, did take a good minute for the satellites to acquire.

Make sure that when you go to Menu-->Settings, confirm that "GPS COM4" is selected.

The t Mobile rom, while missing many useless gadgets like touch flo, at least worked with Tomtom without a hitch & Google Maps??
ANY idea how I can go back???
None of the posts on to get tt6 going worked for me.
TT works, but never ever finds a satelite, let alone a lock....
Thx!
Had the same problem here. What I did to get it working is the following:
Firts go to External GPS settings then uncheck the manage GPS automatically box and start any gps software. You will notice nothing happens. Then turn your phone off and on. not soft-reset.
Then when your phone is running start any GPS software. Still nothing happens. Go back to the manage GPS automatically box and check it.
Now runs any GPS software and it will start as it should. Don't know what this is but I also have a vario III and I have to do this every time a flash a non t-mobile rom. But now my tomtom works. Oh and be sure you have a tomtom which supports built in GPS.
I guess that the only way to go back is if someone has a copy of the original ROM - but it's a pity that you can't get TT to work without going back.
I posted this in one of the other TT forums and it did seem to help the guy out - maybe worth a try before reflashing...
... If your phone is showing 'connecting to gps' it's possible that there is a port conflict. Try the following:
1. Start TomTom
2. Tap screen where the satellite bars are - bottom left. (look like phone signal strength bars).
3. Tap sattelites again on right.
4. On sattelite screen select 'configure'.
5. Select 'Other NMEA GPS receiver'.
6. Select baud rate. Try with the default of 4800. (Mine works with 4800 upwards).
7. Tap 'done' then select com port. Mine had com4 and com7 available. Com4 worked and com7 didn't (hung like yours did).
8. Go outside and wait 20 minutes. If you get a fix, or the message reads 'waiting for sattelites (or similar) you have the right port.
If this doesn't work, try changing the port. Possibly, also try turning off your bluetooth because I believe that this can use the same port as your GPS.

USE GPS TEST FOR CORRECT SETTINGS.
Cause mine is Com 4 9600

Has anyone got the GPS working with any 3rd party applications.
I am particularly wanting to get Memory Map working but can't find out how - must be missing something
Stuart
ill be keeping an eye on this thread as ill also want to use memory map...
I have installed Navigon Navigator and i had to set the externel GPS Port to Port 6 (in settings, second tab) and i chose in Navigator GPS on Port 6, 9600 bauds and its working!
OK, this works for me;
Go to Settings, second tab(as described above)
select External GPS
On the first tab select a com port you want to use with your application, I chose 6.
Click on Hardware TabGPS Hardware Port - None (Baud 4800)
Next tab manage GPS automatically is ticked
Exit - OK
Run Up Memory Map
tap menu>GPS>Setup
Manufacturere = NMEA
Port set to COM 6 or whatever you chose earlier
Baud 4800
Tap OK
Then show the unit the sky and wait !!!!
good luck

Yes.
I use Pocket A-Z London maps and I just set the GPS to COM4/4800 baud in the "Setup ..." option in the A-Z Map program's Tools menu and, even on the very first cold start of the GPS and sitting on the arm of my sofa inside my apartment it still locked onto 8 satellites within about 2 minutes. I couldn't believe it. Truly impressive.

it should work as tomtom too is a 3th party app
With me it's COM port 4 at baud rate 4800.
And in TomTom he locks onto 7 satellites within 10s...
It work perfect with Tomtom and the settings: Other NMEA, Comm4, and 4800. Unbelievable quick fix.
Good to hear Too bad it doesn't work with the "Built-in GPS" setting.
You may want to check Settings -> Communication -> GPS and see if the default GPS device is configured correctly.
Working flawlessly with tomtom. Just use QuickGPS first and you're set.

Of course it works with the "Built-in GPS" setting.
The first time it will take a bit longer to get a fix. And you should run QuickFix first.
Has anyone tried to run 2 GPS applications at the same time? In particular, TomTom with another? On my old P3600 (now lost) I really wanted to run TomTom for navigation and Run.GPS for tracking, but the two would not co-exist, i.e. share the gps signal. I'm hoping the TC will be different, but fear not.

I used TomTom + TrackMe briefly as my batt was low and both seem to work fine.

The same as you lose a wallet, keys etc. Easy if you know how! In this case I dropped it off a ski lift
GPS works fines for me with with TomTom, Destinator, Pocket Navigator and Google Maps. I ve tried to have two apps at the same time (tomtom, pocketnavigator) and it works. Hope this helps.
P.S. I didn't change any of the default settings for the GPS.
The Touch Pro I purchased over eBay in Australia came with TomTom 7, and I have installed it. Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to receive GPS, is it because of my location, or is GPS able to be disabled somehow? Is it true you need to be outside? Any help would be much appreciated, and I kinda need it soon, as my mum and I are going away and need direction =]
you cant enable/disable gps. it takes a minute or two to locate sattilites
configure gps to nmea gps receiver -> baud rate 4800 -> com4:

thankyou, it finally worked, but now I have another question. When you input a destination, it tells you the first step, how do you get it to tell you the next step?

by driving i guess or you can use the Demo function
My Google map GPS is telling my position within a precision of 1300 metres, lil bit useless,no.... Is there something to do?
It's using the cell towers to give your position. In the menu, select "use GPS" and give it a moment to pick up the satellite.
...Also, locate and run Quick GPS. It will download latest satellite locations for quicker lock on.
As a side note, you will discover the Google Traffic very good, at least in metro areas (NY for me).

Those 2 post are correct, but you also have to go the GPS settings in google maps, and click manual. Set the com to COM 4 and put the baud rate to 4800. That is the presice settings, and Google Maps sometimes requires you to tell it specifically what the settings are. Once those are set, click on "Use GPS" again because anytime you change the GPS settings in Google Maps, it disables the "Use GPS" option on it. Hope these 3 post help.

I didn't have to change GPS settings in Google Maps for it to work properly for me, and it finds me 'within 20 meters'. I'm using MightyROM 11/10/09.

Thats good. Like I said, its not always necessary but when it doesnt lock or you get a large radius, sometimes it helps. Im on MightyRom also. At least until the BuildOS update with our TP2 roms comes out. Then Im cookin my own.
PRBajista 9:
I just went to:
Settings>All Settings>Personal>Phone>CDMA Services>Location Setting>GetSettings> Select LOCATION ON
And my google maps started picking up sats fine. dont know if that will work for you or not.

That is your problem. Your program port is supposed to be set to "COM4" and your hardware port is supposed to be set to "None" with the baud rate at "4800" and in the access section should be set to allow windows to Manage to the GPS Automatically. Try these settings and see if you get a signal. Dont forget to run quick GPS one more time before you try. Hope this helps.
