Could anyone give me some guidance how to setup the TomTom 6 on Kaiser.
I have already installed TomTom, but the problem is I cannot connect TomTom with the internal GPS.
With TomTom on Mobile Vista 1.3 I selected Built-in GPS receiver
With TomTom that I downloaded, I chosen other NMEA GPS receiver, COM4
But I still cannot get the GPS signal
You got the cd you got with the phone?
Otherwise search for the correct version of tomtom in the forum.
search for the tomtom cab in the forum...or better yet search for setting up tomtom
ps.wrong forum

why not search or usE the correct forum
run quickgps and update it, then use gpstest or another similar app to get a lock. Then exit that program and open up tomtom and see if that works. Also make sure you are either near a window or outside with a clear view of the sky.
I asume that Vista 1.3 is Confused Stu's rom. Are you using the correct radio? If not, you may get GPS problems. The one in his signature is 1.65.14.06 - if you don't have this radio it might be a good place to start - I always begin with the same radio as the rom cook uses to test the rom as developed.
You also don't say if you've messed with the External GPS settings on your rom - there are reports that this can mess up your GPS and require a hard reset to sort out.
I'd suggest firstly make sure you have the correct radio, then if that doesn't work, back up all your data and hard reset or flash a new rom/radio combo. The procedure I use for setting up GPS everytime I flash a new rom is in post #4 of this thread.
If this works, please edit your first post to show what you did, or link to the solution so that others searching for the same problem will find the thread AND the solution easily.

Hi everybody. Has anybody the same problem with IGO8 and GPs. When The GPS is off I can use the software for map browsing, route calculating etc.. At the moment GPS is connected to satelites the application shuts down without any message warning.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem.
I have also tested TomTom, Google navigator, GPS tuner and other navi soft and all of them work fine.
Thany x for help.

no problem here, i can use igo 8 to navigate fine with gps
Dear Matelko. Your software and whole system seems to be veeery stupid and the problem can be maybe OS related. As I know,some of your apps are working strange,but my not,even we have the same packages used. Just share iGo8 with me and we will test it this weekend(maybe) if we will have enough time and a bit less of work around the cottage or with cars.
Btw,welcome to this discussion Mathew. You need to watch it all and you will get too much infos about Raphael.

1. Update to the latest version of iGO8.
2. Disable Assisted GPS (it is off by default) using Advanced Config 3.2 found on this forum.
Works fine for me, only a little lag.
That lag I know,but I can live with it. My physicall position is 50metres before the position that shows TomTom. Btw.TomTom is working fine for me without aGPS. With aGPS I had no reliable fix available. I like TT7,because of the maps coverage in comparison with iGo. I said goodbye to iGo at all.
Ok, so I KNOW I'm probably opening myself up here for some flaming, but at this point willing to take a chance... I've seen it somewhere, but no amount of searching is turning the answer up for me again. I have a Touch Pro and need to get TomTom Home to connect to my device, but it will not do so. I'd like to do this so that I can get some maps. I have the application installed in ProgramFiles\Navigator which is where, in my understanding, it should be. Any tips?
Its not that you'll get the GPS straight on, specially while sitting at a place..
The way i got it is via setting the GPS as Internal-GPS in TomTom and drove for a while..
I can tell you that it works as i was also getting suspicious that its broken or something but however it lags a little bit.. Once the satellites are found then there is no issue using TomTom as a pedestrian..
I still couldn't find why it works sometimes and why it doesn't..

Haha, no no, I know of the lag. I'm speaking of the TomTom Home program for my PC. I'd like to be able to connect the device to my PC and install new maps, use mapshare, etc. But since you mention it, hopefully someone comes up with a real solution for the lag problem on the device.
By the way, I am speaking of TomTom Home 2... I can connect to the other just fine but it doesn't really help me.
anyone? I know I've seen it somewhere. A link would even be appreciated!
There is no way to get tomtom 7 USA maps straight foward so far. May be after at&t Fuze launch?
The solution now is log in to your tomtom home acount and choose tomtom 720 as your device. Buy the maps, save them into you PC then manually copy to your SD card. Install tomtom cab is floating around in this forum, then re-connect to tomtom home to download extra voices and maps corrections.
Right, I have all that so far. My problem is TomTom Home doesn't recognize my device at all. It just keeps the 3 step menu up that basically says "connect your device".
same problem too
Hi all,
I just got the Fuze and am having some strange problems with it's GPS. I am able to get a lock. However, the GPS data stream appears to be 'hanging' randomly.
I mean, after I get a lock, it would stream NMEA data for a few seconds, and then just randomly stops. I use the program VisualGPSCE (http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/default.htm) to see how many satellites I am picking up. This program has consistently worked on the iMate 8502, Epix, and my iPAQ 910. So I don't think it's a software problem. I am also experiencing the same problem with my GPS software, namely Garmin XT and OCN8. After a while. the program would announce that it has lost GPS lock.
Anyone experiencing this, and should I exchange it? Thanks for your feedback. Other than that, I was surprised at how much I like the device.

Having the same issue
Out of the box it was fine with Tomtom7 but since I sync'd up exchange, added a BT headset etc I am getting the same problem.
It does a toggle every 4 or 5 secs between GPS lock and no signal
Know it's not a TT issue since once it started this I sync'd my BT GPS puck and it's rock solid
Just saw that this GPS problem is a known issue with the Raphael on the various threads at xda-dev. It appears that a soft-reset seems to fix the problem, but will return later. Soft-resetting each time to use the GPS is an unacceptable solution.
Same problem with iGuidance 4.0. I would get a fix then the GPS signal will go away for a second or 2 and then comes back. This continues to happen in a 10 second interval.
I have also installed Google map on my phone and it works flawlessly.
Soooooo annoying.
Try some of these methods. I haven't tried them yet but will try as soon as i get a chance which would be tomorrow.

I have the same problem has anyone found a fix for this or something that works then always soft reset? This is so frustrating!
try a diff ROM. Stock Rom sucks!
Im really desperate because I cant use the GPS device on my Jade for a month now! No application is able to use the GPS device on my phone.
If I try IGO as example it always says "no gps device found". I tryed HTC GPS tool and switched all ports on but no luck anyway...
If I try port 3 with baudrate 57600 it opens somehow but nothing happens. If I close it again it gives me an error message saying "WaitCommEvent failed.."
There is also a issue with QuickGPS, it cant uptade anymore. Everytime I click uptade it says immidiatly "error connecting, please try again later"
Im totally punshed and have no clue what to do anymore. And please avoid answers like "do hardware reset or send to warranty"
Thanks in advanche
is nobody able to help me?
Are you using stock or cooked rom? If cooked, it may be ur radio that is making ur GPS not work, so give us more info.
Also when did it stop working, had you just installed some software etc?
You will see many people say different configurations regarding baud rates etc, personally i recommend that you leave it configured to "let windows control".
If your quick gps is not updating, then a cold gps lock could take upto 10 mins. Go out side, get google maps on screen (remember to configure both external gps & google maps to "let windows.....") and ensure google maps is set to use gps. Then wait and wait to see if u get a gps lock or not.
Get back with more info on rom, software ok?
Cheers.
Thanks for the reply!
Im using the original stock rom for my Touch 3g (jade). I dont think I installed any (important) software before my GPS failed. My GPS is controlled by Windows and yes I already tryed setting them manually up without luck.
The 10min outside thing also didnt worked
Man thats wierd, you say that quick gps doesnt work either?
Have a look through your software additions and give me a list of magor ones.
Its unusual for gps to stop working in stock rom, you might have to face upto backing up any programs, contacts etc (not registry) and get ready for a hard reset.
If that doesnt work then you know its hard ware related.
But before all that, look further.
I already faced its a really strange problem :S
After dozens of failed tryings I finally made a Hard reset. I hate it to install everything again, configure everything again etc...
Now QuickGPS is able to do Uptades and my software is able to find the GPS device like IGO as example. But why do I still dont find any Satelites ?!?
This makes me such angry that I want to run against a wall
If youve done a hard reset and not played with any settings, then it looks like you have a faulty gps unit, as much as i hate to say it, id contact your supplier if its in warranty still. Sorry mate, but there is nothing else you can do but that.
