i use igo8 in omnia and gps signal work in port 3 baud 38400 but first time i wait 1 houre outside whit clear sky for satellite....just wait....

[hughieoh]

i use gpsgate 2.6 and to get signal and position take maximum 5 minutes with very heavy raining condition.

GPS setting

1. Configure WM6.1(OMNIA) (Settings - External GPS):
- Programs : COM2
- Hardware : COM9 baudrate : 9600
- Access : activate the check box

2. install GPSGate 2.6

3. Configure GPSGate :
- Input : COM2 baudrate : 4800
- Output ADD : Virtual COM Port . NMEA Filter
Active : Virtual COM6 / (All NMEA) Filter


4. Configure Tomtom :


- GPS Settings : Other NMEA, Speed : 4800, on Franson COM6



This is my setting for TOMTOM7 and i hope igo8 setting work same

The GPS sw has an auto GPS port detection and it works really good except once in a while, the screen went blank if left untouched for more than one minute (setting) even though the buttons were still working. It could be a power mode saving (turn off LCD after 1 min) a compatibility issue with Omnia's higher resolution WVGA screen and the 4.0 ver is more than one year old to work well with WM 6.1.

i also have the samsung omnia ( i900 )
ive tried to use google maps and few other apps but my GPS just does not want to connect. ive tried all com ports etc , on default google maps does say roughly aftyer 2 mins 3 or 4 satalites connect but only for few seconds and it seems i NEED to connect to gprs 1st.
this was outside on a clear day. am i missing something?
has any1 solved this problem ?

ive checked google and this does seem to be a bit of a problem. im with orange (seems vodafone has enhanced settings?)

are there any updates or programes that can fix this?
plz help.

Go to setings to disable external gps, after that use tweak and let windows set your gps mode, because omnia is built in gps reciever.

There is a good post here on working Omnia GPS software and some users with first hand experience.

They helped me a bit, :)

:)hi mate even i did the same thing but i am afraid to say that TOMTOM is no good for OMNIA. IF U WANT TO USE NAVIGATION ON OMNIA THEN BEST ONES ARE iGO OR BETTER THEN THAT GARMIN XT...TRY THAT...AND U CAN FIND GARMIN HERE ITSELF JUS LOOK AROUND.:)

[davey1980]

when u say tweak u mean playing about with the com ports till it works?

and thanks for the link about omnia GPS..explains alot.. will have to tryin running faster :s

Have you tried typing in *#1472365# into their Omnia2?

It brings up some extra gps settings, some of which are similar to settings that can be reached in registry but some are unique.

The main one that was of interest to me was the start up mode of GPS.

Mine was set to cold start which meant that every time i started my tomtom it did so by deleting all previous data.

This meant i was on a cold start each and every time i used it which was why it took forever to lock sometimes.

I have now changed this setting to "hotstart" and my locks are instant.
