GPS Chipset?

---

Anyone know what chipset the GPS is Sirf III or ???

Hi,

Built-in+GPS_module: Supported
GPS:Protocol: NMEA 0183
GPS+Antenna: Internal antenna
Complementary_GPS-Services: Assisted GPS, QuickGPS
Navigation-Chip(set): Qualcomm MSM7201A gpsOne

wfg

starbase64

why they pulled the Sirf III i dont know, probably some stupid licencing issues from Qualcomm saying that you can use our chip but keep your mits off everything else, all or nothing, another case of corperate greed and a big f*** you to the user.

I really don't care what Chipset the Touch HD has as long as there is no GPS lag like the Touch Pro has.

gps chipset == qualcomm cpu
the reason why soo many use that
type of cpu is because it got gps, wifi, 3g on chip
which also mean the hardware performes pretty
much the same way as other devices with the same cpu

which would indicate that Touch HD would perform the same as
touch pro as they got the same cpu

Same specs like Touch Pro same problems.

Doubtfull.. Black has the AT&T fuze...a test version with no GPS lag issues.

I'm very anxious to discover whether the GPS has the same lag problems.
Looking carefully at posts about the Diamond and Touch Pro, it doesn't yet seem entirely conclusive whether the lag is due to hardware limitations of the Qualcomm chipset or if software is at least partially responsible.
Good GPS is a must-have for me. I'm used to an ETEN device which had truly superb GPS until the hardware failed!

There must be some Touch HD reviewers out there who have tested the GPS - surely ?

Yeah, this would be deal braeker for many of us... I need confirmation HTC did not fail again (Kaiser - drivers, Touch Pro - GPS, Touch HD - ...)

I bet that the Touch HD GPS will suffer the same lag problem like Touch Pro.

But, in this case, probably, I will be OK ... because I read that the lag problem will not happen if we use "external BT GPS".

I probably will just buy cheap external BT GPS

At least, there is a solution for the lag problem!
