How do I download the GPS log?

[solmanic]

I can't seem to locate a relevant thread so I thought I would just ask the question cold...

Is there a way to download the GPS log from my D810? I know this question is probably not limited to this model but it's what I got. I was travelling off-road on the week-end and need to see fairly accurately where the GPS log of the trip was in relation to the map. I know there are programs that will let me overlay the data on the map, I just don't know how to get it out of the phone in the first place.

BTW, I was using Tomtom Navigator 6 if that helps.

Sorry, I can't help you with that. I'm still on WM5 but I just used Trinityhacks to switch my GPS on.

To clarify on both points- TomTom doesn't record GPS tracks. Co-Pilot Live and iGO 2006 both have options to do so.

GPS doesn't need 'turning on' if you have a GPS enabled ROM (as far as I know, all the cooked WM6 ROMs are GPS enabled, and WM5 Radio ROMs from 1.30 onwards are GPS enabled- as long as the last 2 digits of teh Radio ROM are .11 , GPOS is enabled)

[Edit- some of the new WM6 cooked ROMs don't update the Radio Stack, so you may need to do this in addition to the main ROM update. Radio ROM 1.38 seems the most stable, but 1.41 is OK. Avoid 1.40! ]

GPS aware applications will automatically turn the GPS receiver on as needed, as long as they point to the correct COM port.

For the Trinity/P3600 this is COM9 and the Baud rate is 57600. You must make sure that when you first use GPS you need a clear view of the sky, preferably outside, to allow the chip to download the very weak signals transmitted by the satellites. Once you have a first fix, subsequent fixes are much quicker.

That's GREAT! Thanks korben.

Now I notice that the website makes reference to a Tomtom .pgl (navigator log) file but NeilM says Tomtom doesn't record tracks. I am confused - does Tomtom log GPS routes or not? If so, where is it on my system?
