Hi all,
I have just got an MDA vario 3. I can use tomtom 6 with the built in gps fine but google maps does not have any options for gps at all! No where to set it up nothing !
Its google maps 1.7.1.4
Do I need to download any other software to enable the gps option?
It is set for com4 in setting in WM6 and Tomtom can find it and use it…

Any help?

The option is called "Show My Location". We forewarned, though, it doesn't function the same way a true GPS navigation app works. Basically, I use it to let me know when I'm getting close to a turn ... Google Maps does not (as far as I know) go turn by turn automatically based on location.

Edit: By the way, you have to turn on Show My Location before you have the option of using your current GPS location to plot your directions. You won't even see the option if you haven't told Google you have GPS with the Show My Location menu item.
