HELP with Asus P750

I've just bought an Asus P750 and let me tell you... It's beautiful!!! Incredibly fast and very light. The only problem is I can't make the gps to work. I've updated the setings but it just doesn't catch the signal. In the right side there is a part that says GPS that comes off. Do i need an external antena?? How can I make it work? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

p750 has an in-built gps unit,u will need to go out into the open and use a gps map navigation program like mapking or navfone.
if u r inside a building or under a shelter, the gps signal will not be strong enough.

I had problems with gps on P750 too. I use iGO6 and I had to add in Sys.txt this text:
[gps]
port=5
speed=57600
protocol=sirf
Tomtom isn't working on my P750 and iGO8 show me wrong actual position.

The best start with any new navigationsoftware on the ASUS P750 is to download the GPS Catscherfiles. Then one should let iGO or any other search for itselves, iGO+GARMIN will locate the GPS on its own.
In TT6 v6.032.8351 you choose the GPS port after choosing the other BT GPS.

Imate 8502 GPS Problem?

Hi guys,
Recently I bought Imate 8502. Everything works fine. I have installed tomtom 6.01 for wm6 (which works fine on my other htc p3600i)
Now problem in in Imate 8502 when i go in to the settings>External GPS>Hardware... it shows me "gps Hardware port "(none)". If I select any port and press ok and open it again, again it shows "(none)" in gps hardware port. So whts wrong with that.
Also tomtom is not working in Imate 8502. in tomtom software setting doesn't show gps port.(like in htc p3600i gps settings shows that gps in com9). I tried too much to solve this problem but got failure and failure. So I am asking help from any expert here.
Please help me.. I want to run GPS software in Imate 8502
Thanks in advance

waiting for your reply

tomtom cant see your build-in gps port
GPSgate will make a virtual gps comm port that gps programs able to see

Need Some knowledge
Dear Chintak i also have an 8502 but still serching for upgrade as u said u upgraded it with tomtom it realy works and how is the procedure to upgrade
will appriciate help .

hi ayesha,
I didn't upgraded anything in imate, I just installed tomtom for ppc.
but tomtom can't read gps port so m looking for another option

OK - hope this helps some....
I have the I-mate 8502, and TomTom 6 running fine.
Things I did:
- Installed TomTom...
- Went to Wireless Manager and enabled GPS. These are my GPS settings by tab (can get to them via Wireless Manager):
>Programs: GPS program port - COM9 (default setting
>Hardware: No GPS port specifed (not needed) and baud rate 4800 (again not needed) - these are default settings
>Access: Manage GPS automatically is checked (again default)
The only setup in TomTom was to set the GPS device to the IMEA option.
TomTom should see the device, but display a message that no gps satellites found or it searching. It usually takes a couple of minutes for the GPS to pass through satellite information to TomTom first time but it then works great.
Running the Telstra WM6 Rom

I followed Rathalian's instructions and it worked perfectly for me too.
I did have to select COM9 as the COM Port of the GPS device in Tom Tom Configuration.
I am also using a Telstra WM6 ROM.

Thanks everybody its working now thank you very much everyone

i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?
Good afternoon, folks
I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.
As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking:
is anybody willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.
Warm regards,
Manuel

at& fuse gps problem (not the lag/strength related kind)

ok so i bought an att fuse and like everyone here mentioned about hang ups, weak signal, etc i thought i would just use my old external bluetooth gps unit.
so breifly here is the problem, it works fine when i use a single application like google maps. but when i try to put the information in the external gps app (start>settings>external gps) i have my problem.
under the hardware section, it states:
Specify the hardware port to which your GPS device is connected.
i do so click ok and nothing.. so i go back in to see whats wrong and the gps hardware port resets its self to "none". its as if the settings never save or reset them selves. i know on my old phone (tytn) this would be somthing i considered unusual (so i am kinda familar with the mobile) os.
i am not sure if there is somthing wrong with my handheld or if at&t has some kind of block?
anyway i tried to use the forum search and really didnt turn up any information so any help would be great i really like this phone.
thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

I've never had those settings stick on any of my WinMo phones.
You don't need to use that to use a BT GPS puck anyway, you set the COM port in the Bluetooth settings.

It won't let you make a selection from that drop-down because the GPS hardware does not function by exposing a COM port as with standard hardware, it exposes a GPS0: port, that is picked up by the GPS ID, and exposed to the system as COM4:..
Now because the GPSID has been replaced by HTC's version of it, it's designed to work only with their internal GPS. If you want support for an external GPS in the GPS ID, you need to cook the stock Windows Mobile driver back into the ROM..
That being said, you don't need the GPSID unless you plan to have multiple programs connecting to the GPS at once, so you should be able to squeek by..

thanks guys i knew i would get a respoce here. unfortunatly i was hoping for a easy solution to use external gps with multiple apps i see unfortunatly its not possible without alot of work.
at any rate i am still very hapy with the device i was debating on upgrading from the tytn amd so glad i did =)

TMC usage with iGO8

Has anyone have any successful experiance with iGO8 using TMC on a PDA?
In short- I have a GNS trafficbox TMC reciever. I have iGO8 R3 and I ahve a P3600 (trinity) phone. The phone has WM6.1 operating system..
Trying to config it to be able to identify the hardware (it is physically connected to the mini USB on the phone there are 3 variables. TMC protocol (I assume GNS) , COM port, and baud rate.
I have tried any combination possible (including all auto) and get one result- 'NO TMC hardware found'
Does anyone knows how it can be configured? Another 'rumor' I read on the forum is iGO8 8.3.x does not have a working TMC at all, and that 8.0.x recognize the hardware but nothing further.
I know it is more an 'iGO' question than XDA, but it is related, and this forum is the only forum I know with responsive people and knowledge.
Thanks in advance
BigE

I've emailed NavNGO Israel about this as i wanted to use a special positioning system for a friend who's in the military.. unfortunatly, I would have to tell you that unless someone found an unformal solution which I don't know about, you will have to give it up.
you can use a TMC with bluetooth tho... http://www.gns-gmbh.com/index.php?id=72&L=1
