Default Trinity GPS Settings

Sorry about creating another one of these threads, I hate them as much as you but I really need to get GPS working in WM6 or I am going to have to downgrade. The reason I brought my trinity was because of the GPS, without it I may as well use my prophet! No matter what I try I cant get any GPS app to work, not tomtom, not gpsinfo, not pocketstreets, not even google maps!

There is no easily found information on the settings for gps within WM6, so maybe we can put that info here in order to reduce these kind of threads in the future!

If someone could answer this, it would help me and others greatly; What WORKING settings are being used under WM6 for the trinity?????
I forgot there was a thing called life, then when I'd remembered it I quickly remembered why I'd forgotten it

Not working for me either... was a SPV m700, now WM6 (lmvd? edition).. google maps says seeking satellites, but none appear. This is right out in the open, where my bt gps unit picks up 4 satellites.

I really need this to work as well

And give it some time for the very first fix...
That might take up to 10 minutes or even more...Make sure your Trinity can 'see' the sky, and just wait some more.
This applies only to first fix, after that it should be well under a minute for a 'warm' start
WM inventory:
2x HTC Raphael/TouchPRO UK
[#1: EnergyPhoenix2 WM6.5.3-28011 (091209), Radio 1.14.25.05 | #2: Stock ROM v2, Radio 1.14.25.05]
Fujitsu-Siemens Loox720, iMate Jam, and an old Casio E115 PPC2000 for nostalgia sake...

yea but it should be able to see the GPS device right?

using the settings above, tomtom still gives me nothing other than 'No GPS Device' much like the other programs I have tryed. Surely if it was seeing the GPS it would say 'No valid GPS signal' or 'Waiting for valid gps signal'

Have been advised to upgrade to latest version of tomtom which I have and it makes no diffrence.......

PS I cant thank you all enough for your help!

So you do have TomTom 6.03, right?

Better give more information if you want people to help you...

if it says waiting for gps signal it should have found the gps device... MN6 will say "no gps device" if it doesnt find it and "waiting for gps" if it found a device but is waiting for a fix
