Tilt with HTC ROM - GPS Issue

---

I have a Tilt (8925) with the stickied HTC ROM. Everything has been great, but I am having issues with GPS. I have downloaded both Google Maps and Live, gone in and checked the GPS settings of COM4 and Baud 4800. Neither of the two applications recognize that I have GPS. Am I missing something? Do I need to enable something on the device that I do not have active?

Thanks in advance!! Best Forum on the NET!

go to settings> System > External GPS settings

Programs should be COM4:
Hardware should be (None) and 57600
Access should be "checked"

Kaiser's GPS works differently from the others (I was using the Trinity) and the GPS Streams does not update like like the trinity.

After that, go to an open space, and get a sync first.

Thereafter, its all ok.

Thanks for the input. I have made the suggested changes and will get out in the open and try again. I'll post back with results.

When on the 8925 firmware, I manually set com4/4800 in google maps. And it never could get a sync in time, despite me running quickgps. I had to use another program to jumpstart it, which would take anywhere from 1 to 4 minutes the first time.

Now that I'm on htc firmware, I just let all the gps settings at default. Didn't configure them in google maps (default there is to use windows settings). Ran quickgps. Google maps gave me the couldn't do it message 3 or 4 times. But I was just playing around still and one time it just locked on. Ever since, it gets a lock in about 5-10 seconds.

After going outside, the GPS finally enabled and I was able to use it with Google Maps and Live. Before today, I had tried to do it inside....thanks again for the tip!

I tried this; clicked okay. I tried soft reset/hard reset and neither keeps the new setting (from 4800 to 57600).

Any ideas?

Note: I just upgrade to 2.0.0.12 from 1.00 so let me see if that solves the problem. Will report back.

Note2: That solved the problem (who knew that upgrading could actually fix something).
