GPS for Tmobile wing?

[smithjustin8]

Hey all, I did the ultimate no-no and bought a cheap, wired gps antenna off Ebay. It plugs in to my phone, and I get google maps to start, but I can't get the settings right for my gps to actually work. It keeps coming back telling me it can't locate satellites. I even go as far as to put the gps on the top of my car instead of inside to try, but it still won't work, no matter how clear the sky is, even if im in the middle of the parking lot with no buildings over a story nearby. im getting frustrated, and the guy I bought it from sent me here. so, im hoping somebody can help me out?

If you look at the devices supported in the description the Wing/Herald/p4350 isn´t mentioned. The connector on the back of you device is for external phone antennas i e GSM/GPRS and nothing to do with GPS.

This antenna is only a GPS booster, your phone must have an internal GPSchip and the Wing doesn´t. (and the TyTN mentioned doesn´t either).

Hey man, that sucks.
I do know for a fact though you can use the bluetooth function for a bluetooth GPS Reciever. I use it and it works beautifuly!!!! I've gone places I've never been too with mine, using google map, live search thats on the phone or you can download has a better maping service, its free too, tells you the gas rates near you too, good thing to have right now...but anyways...works super easy, no muss no fuss just connect like you would your bluetooth headset..just set the "external GPS" in your settings for hardware to com6 and whatever baud rate your GPS has to whatever it says your reciever has(in programs leave port to none, in "access" check the manage GPS and your good to go anywhere, also make sure google maps or live search gps settings match the com6 and baud rate. Need help ask me its cool I love the crap out of my phone its like a little laptop so friggin sweet. anyways
they sell em here, this is where I got mine.

Not very expensive either, I thought it would be.
I use mine to even track myself jogging, get my miles ran, how fast when I slowed down and all with Active Trace, you can download that, no maps but shows like the direction you went. but yeah bluetooth it, no wires put it in your pocket, dash whatever and go....
have fun
