iGuidance 4 Problem on HTC Touch Cruise/Polaris

[Turnipio]

I had been using iGuidance4 on my old Samsung i730 off a 4GB SD Card. It worked very well . I used it syncing with a BT iTrekM5+ BT GPS Receiver (MTK Chipset) in my wife's car and with a Parrot 3400 LS-GPS (it is an intergrated Hands free BT and GPS receiver).

I have recently upgraded my phone to a HTC Touch Cruise and am using iGuidance4 now on a 6GB MicroSDHC card. It works flawlessly with my Parrot and iTrek Receivers.

The problem that I am having is that iGuidance4 is barely working with the Touch Cruise inbuilt GPS. The phone runs on a Qualcomm MSM7200 (Chipset) @ 400MHz,and has bulit in GPS. The iGuidance program works in fits and starts with a very, very long lag time while running, so as to render the program unusable.

I thought that there may be a problem with the intergrated GPS on the phone, but I don't think that this is the case, because the inbuilt intergrated GPS of the Touch Cruise works perfectly with both Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search.

I wonder if anyone might have any thoughts
or suggestions on this problem.

I have also posted this on the PDAPhoneHome website (http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/pdaphone-discussion/100265-iguidance-4-htc-touch-cruise-polaris.html)

I would like to hear any updates on your problem as I intended to use iGuidance as well, mainly for its Text-To-Speech and Navteq maps.

Does anyone else have any other experience of getting iGuidance 4 to work with Touch Cruise? There seems to be a workaround using GPSGate described in pdaphonehome, but is this the only way to get it working?

On the TC, open iGuidance, go to Tool, then GPS Options, then COM Port, and select Com4
Then, go to the same area and set the Baud Rate to 9600.

If for some reason you've changed your settings, on your TC go to the Start Menu, Settings, System, and then click on External GPS to find out what your settings are.
