Hi all,

With the new SPRINT ROM, the A-GPS is now enabled and I can use it with Google Maps (it found the A-GPS automatically) and Live Search (it found throug Intermediary GPS Driver).

However, if I want to use it for iGuidance or TomTom, it asked for the COM PORT, which I am not sure which one.

I select "Auto Scan" and iGuidance said it's on COM PORT 4, but that is the COM PORT I reserved for my Bluetooth GPS. However, when it auto-scan, the Bluetooth GPS is not connected.

So if anyone can tell me the actual COM PORT, I can manually add it to iGuidance.

com4, but it won't work with iguidance or tomtom without a launcher to properly open the port. Those older programs have not been updated to properly use the GPSID (intermediate driver) windows offers. And our gps is handled entirely by the gpsid.

Search this forum for the thread AstroGPSLauncher.
