Hi, Nazeroth

GPS is disabled until you run the GPS aplication, like TomTom 6 or similar.

Mate i indeed worry

because there is no bloody way to enable it! TOMTOM cant find it, when i hit the GPS icon in IPAQ WIreless it shows some help instead of activate de-activate...

some advice?

Hi again,

If you do the registry hack then you have an icon in your Start/setings/system folder is it wright. If so then you tap on GPS icon and set up your GPS. GPS "Programs" set to NONE, "Hardware" set to COM7 and baudrate set to 57600, "Access" untick the "Manage GPS automatically" thats mean you must disable this function. This is it. Try this and TT6 must work on first try. The only bad thing is that you must be outside the house. Good luck.

P.S.: If you have English ROM for hw6915 please send us the link :)

Thanks mate,

Indeed i discovered yesterday after some 10 hours of fiddling that the GPS cannot be activated trought IPAQ Wireless (it only shows the status)

that the bloody gps icon is hidden in the registry (I also found an equalizer for the audio hehe)
and that TOmTom will force the GPS on once you have a map and after some 10 minutes will find satellites.

HP chat told me to send the unit for repairs (Good support dont they :D)

Anyway thanks it helped understand the virtual GPS feature, BTW mine is French version and has TT 5.3 not 6. and it gets along very well with WCE gps management

I am here for help. I learn a lot from this forum, so this is my payback to others with strange GPS problems.

Hi again,

If you do the registry hack then you have an icon in your Start/setings/system folder is it wright. If so then you tap on GPS icon and set up your GPS. GPS "Programs" set to NONE, "Hardware" set to COM7 and baudrate set to 57600, "Access" untick the "Manage GPS automatically" thats mean you must disable this function. This is it.

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem as this and need to carry out the registry hack to get the icon in start/system/settings. Would you be so good as to direct me to the right hive and entry?

Thanks in advance
Eden

hi drahtman, is there gonna be lots of different in terms of accuracy if i changed the baud rate from 4800 to 57600? because if im not wrong the default setting is 4800...

:rolleyes:This baudrate parameter is just for comunication speed beetwen internal GPS and navigation software and had nothing to do with accuracy of internal GPS.
