Ever since upgrading ROM to 1.62 GPS sucks?

[Chrushev]

Seems like after updating the new patch they released that upgrades to 1.62 when I go to google maps and use "GPS" it doesnt work half the time.. and the other half the time it puts me off by a couple streets...

used to work just fine pre upgrade =/

bump... anyone?

maybe i have to change GPS settings on the phone? what should the ports or w/e be set to? like COMM1 or w/e?

What app are you using to map/view the coordinates?

I am interested in your problem, as I use the GPS quite often with the GPS Photo capability, but haven't updated the ROM yet. (I'm in a different country at the moment and don't want to break something that isn't broken with the upgrade without a quick solution to fix.)

I wonder if it's just a mapping issue and if you've tried different programs, (Google/MS Live Search), or if you're using TomTom.

Let me check my settings...
Programs Tab: Com4
Hardware Tab: None
Access Tab: Manage GPS checked

These settings work for me with MS Live and Google Maps. I hope this helps you. Drop some feedback on your success, or lack of, if you don't mind.

just checked.. i have settings set to same as you.

can you check if you got "assisted GPS" turned on in Keiser Tweak?

Good question. I only recently (two days ago) updated to the new Kaiser Tweak and previously used the old one. The aGPS option wasn't in the old one and I haven't used the GPS since the Kaiser Tweak upgrade.

Ok, just fired up MS Live Search and with aGPS enabled, it pulled up the map location fine.
I also have VisualGPSce installed and that works fine with the GPS. The settings on that are for Port: COM4 at 9600 baud.
Google Maps Mobile also works. It's set to the Windows default for the GPS option.

I don't know if aGPS was turned on by default before (Old Kaiser Tweak). I'll give it a try though and see if I get better results. I'm currently in Japan and aGPS system is alive and well here.

Download and try out the VisualGPSce program. http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
It will kick back data right away on what satellites it can view. Use the same settings as I do above. At least you won't have to wait for it to get a fix, to see if the GPS is working.
