GPS Issues?

---

Having fixed my SMS problem, I now have another question.
Should the GPS work out of the box? I have added the googlemaps app but can't seem to pull up my location.

Should I try hard reboot? Any suggestions on how to get this working?

No, don't try a hard reset. First download the satellite updates from Quick GPS and then your device should pick up a GPS signal.

I had to set mine to com port 4 before it worked. Any slow baud rate seems to work.

My first fix took me over 20 minutes, now it's faster, but nothing compared with my HTC 3300.

Yer the GPS takes the longest to get the first fix...same with most devices....if its been offline for a while again it takes a little longer.

For example my holux bt321 says it will get a fix in 6 seconds....but the first fix was around 4 minutes.

On the Touch Pro I also had the same problem, I switched to the GPD1 port (???) and then I got a fix in Google Maps. The location indicated was a good 100 - 200 meters away from where I was though, so could the GPS be wrong? I had already downloaded the QuickGPS data before leaving the house 15 minutes earlier, so that should not be the issue.

What are the GPD ports anyways? On which port does/should the internal GPS communicate with WM6.1 / GoogleMaps?

Also, is there somewhere to enable or disable the GPS in the first place (not in the navigation software that is?)
