I am trying to access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings. I have installed (regeditstg.exe) but am having diffilculties. Please could someone advise. I am trying to load the GPS onto the S200. I am trying to do the following;
1. Delete the DWORD marked Hide (if present)
2. Delete the DWORD marked Redirect (if present)
3. Add a DWORD called Group and give it a value of 2
4. Soft reset the device.

The GPS icon should then be available.

You need a registry editor. Check FreewarePPC.com

I recommend the free PHM Registry editor (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/).
Note, that before soft resetting you must put the device in standby for 5 secs than back on to insure the changes are saved.

Thank-you for your help. I have downloaded the regester edit. I have managed to access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings past as above. But cannot find the DWORDS and added the Group. I am having real difficulties adding the GPS to my S200 (Jamin), please feed this link to u/s more. I have tomtom and am not able to use it!!!!! How exasperating!

I have had my PDA b4 stolen, and now working off a new one. Couldn't get the last one working either!

Cheers,
