Hi All.
Just noticed this on another site.
The GPS inside the Trinity/Dopod D810/HTC P3600 is not a SiRF III chipset.
It is part of the Qualcomm MSM6275 chipset used in the Dopod D810 and is known as gpsOne.
Specs on the Qualcomm MSM6275 chipset can be found here (http://www.cdmatech.com/docs_details/chip_tool/chip_results.jsp?chip=22).
The Official GPS equipped HTC P3300 uses the same Qualcomm MSM6275 chipset as the Dopod D810/HTC P3600.
The HTC Hermes/JasJam/Dopod 838 Pro/HTC TyTN also uses the Qualcomm MSM6275 chipset, as does the Palm Treo 750v.
The tread can be found here: http://www.mtekk.com.au/Forums/tabid/56/forumid/2/postid/72077/view/topic/Default.aspx
Following the links to the Qualcomm site I noticed that they state that gpsOneŽ position-location assisted-GPS (A-GPS) solution
With my limited understanding of GPS doesn't that mean it should download data from the network and so speed up the time taken to obtain a fix, especially when starting? I ask this as the times people are reporting would indicate it does not, eg the comparison to the P3300 posted in main GPS thread.
Is this just one more feature that is yet to be enabled? Or is this the reason they released it with the GPS disabled? Or do I simply not understand all this GPS stuff? :D
