Im stumped. I upgraded the rom, and tried 3 different programs, and none can even get a single satellite, after about 10 minutes in a pretty open space.

TomTom detects GPS on COM9, and it says "No Valid GPS signal" (Instead of no GPS device if its changed to another port) while it keeps searching.

PocketStreets tells me "the communication (COM) port is available but no signal is being received. Make sure the GPS receiver is turned on and connected to the correct port".

My GPS program port is set to GPD8, Hardware Port to COM9 and Baud rate to 115200.

Not sure what that was suppose to do... but it didn't help.

Are you by any chance located in the downtown core? I have an upgraded htc 3600 and it works really well in the GTA, well the east side of gta anyway(from toronto center to durham region). But sometimes I am having trouble getting signal at the downtown core, university and elm, bay and dundas, union station, etc...

I'm out in Vancouver, and having set the GPS up today I find it to be fantastic - first experience with a GPS device and it works wonderfully.

I'm using iGuidance, and it shows me routinely with 6 or 7 out of 9 satellites.

Im in the west end, right by high park. I was also downtown, and had no luck there either.
