Thanks,
Is it COM4? how about baud rate?
com4 and 4800
I have mine sent to the default values which are COM4, Baud Rate 4800. And they work fine with Google Maps and Live Search, I use GPTest because I couldn't get GPS Viewer working, this is just a summary, but if you need more info you can do a search.
Hi Dylan,
Where do you get that GPTest ?

works fine for me when setting the port to 4 and and baudrate to 4800 in Google maps
In START>Setting>EXTERNAL GPS
I have this setting:
programs (TAB) - DATA PORT GPS: COM4
hardware (TAB) - hardware GPS port: none
- baud 4800
Access (TAB) - Automatic GPS control (DEFAULT)
I set in google map COM4 and baud 4800, but don't work
Sorry, but I've the TYTN II fron 2 days
Use any GPS Application like TomTom to start the GPS and then switch to google maps without closing TomTom. This should work.
Goole Maps doesn't wait always long enough for a gps signal.

Ok, thank to all for reply, now I'll try...
Keep retrying till the gps gets the fix. If you get the fix with another application and then try with google maps, it will be very fast.
SOLVED
Tnx all
All solved!
All default and google maps work perfectly, without open other GPS application!!!
How, exactly, did you solve it?
that's bloody annoying he didnt share the love - i have the same problem!
I noticed that gps doesn't work when you're sitting at home. I've never had it failed on me when I was in the car, specially when the car was moving.
I used google map's and the gps feature to take me through an hour of traffic coming home from work.
GPS
I start up my GPS with GPS Photo to initialize(takes time to load) then open Google Map.
Hope this helps
Will givethe gps foto thing a go - good thinking!
Its amazing after 2 days wifi gps sniffing how many wireless AP there are

Here is what worked for me.
Goto Settings>System>External GPS, use the Kaiser defaults of GPS program port=COM4, Hardware=None, Baud rate=4800, Enable "Manage GPS automatically."
Run quickgps and download the current ephermis ?spelling data. This speeds up the time to first satellite lock.
Go outside, preferably open location with clear view of the sky.
Run gpsPhoto from the Camera app.
Allow a few minutes to obtain first satellite lock.
Once you have a satellite lock you can close the Camera app and open Google Maps and change Menu>Options>Track Location Settings to "Set by Windows". Press the OK left softkey.
Press the Right Menu softkey and select Track Location.
Bingo you should have a Satellite Lock and Google Maps should center on your location.
I only had to do this procedure once as Google Maps now aquires a lock in seconds. The Kaiser gps works better indoors than my 2 previous Blutooth GPS units, I can see which room of my house I am in. As with all GPS devices it works better in an open environment free from reflections from buildings and free from Tree cover. I am really impressed with the Kaiser GPS.
you rock dude
SOLVED
Sorry to all for my tardive reply
I've solved the problem simply without change nothing.
All default, and launcing google maps the gps start automatically (if not, initialize it with any gps software, like tomtom, gps photo, etc).
BUT - IMPORTANT
Google maps function well in open spaces, I tried it in closed, so, don't worked.
In open space, all ok, it's work fine.
N.B. I've an italian version of O.S. :
CE 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
Rom 1.56.408.5
Data Rom 08/28/07
Vers. Radio 1.27.12.11
Vers. prot. 22.45.88.07H
I feel it can help someone.
Thank's to all for your help and interesting

You said something very interesting here...you said you can see which room you're in. How is that? more of a curiosity thing than a useful thing but I guess it could be handy in large buildings (assuming you can get a fix).
Also, FYI, the new Google Maps is much better at waiting for the GPS to fire up. The timeout value is much more forgiving. I've noticed in the new Gmaps, It just works now.
Hi all. I currently have a copy of TomTom5 on my Vario III. I have no idea how to get it to pick up the built-in GPS. Any idea guys?
Go to the Main Menu in TT5.
Click Change preferences.
Click the Next arrow until you get to page 4.
Click Show GPS status.
Click Configure.
Click the Next arrow until you get to Other NMEA GPS.
Click Select.
Leave the GPS baud rate at 4800 and click Done.
Choose the COM port your GPS is connected to. (My Tilt is on COM4, you can use trial and error.)
Click Done.
Hi, i install on my at&t tilt the TomTom v. 5.21 but when i set the parameters of gps in start-settings-system-external gps with the following data:
Programs: GPD1
Hardware: COM4
Baund Rate: 115200
Access: option flagged
the tilt after the reboot doesn't store the parameters that i have just selected.
What must i do to set the tomtom with internal antenna???
My best regards
Francesco
You need to install tomtom 6.032. That has intern gps in his software..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355275
I had also problems with my gps but it works. Just install GPS Test on you device and check it out.
5,21 will work fine on your device, put the GPS Aplet settings back to what they were and don't touch them, this is what is messing up your system. Start TomTom and go to change preferences/ GPS Status and press configure, set the GPS port up within the TomTom application, when the little yellow/ blue disk on the top right of the GPS Status page is spinning it is working, if it is stationary you have a setting wrong - Mike
Hi i have installed the versione 6 and i have selected "other GPS NMEA"
anyone can help me to set the tomtom and the parameters in the external gps menu??
Many Thanks!!
Francesco
i was wondering what wwere the settings for internal gps to work with some maps
i think you have to install a gps software like tomtom or else to access settings but i i donc find any option on gps on mine (only some dev app )
well i got tomtom but it says
"no satellite connetions, no gps device etc."
i remeber reading somewere that i think u gotta goto external gps device under settings and change settings
and for gps reciver i choose in tomtom
other nmea gps receiver
In TomTom, you should be able to choose "Other NMEA Receiver" then BAUD 57600 works well for me. After that click on COM4.
IF you don't find it; look in Preferences -> GPS STATUS -> Configure.
TomTom version 6.032. From Touch Cruise.

sorry guys it's a noob question but i need to know how to get my GPS up and running on my Diamond. I don't have a gps program yet but i have the HTC Gps tool. How can i make sure that my GPS is running with the HTC Gps Tool?
You can check or test your GPS by using google maps in the programs.
Google maps have a option wich works with the internal GPS.
Standard it works with the antennas so you have to choose by GPS.
You will see its more accurate.
Grtzzzz

if u dont have a gps program why do u need to run the GPS?
in THC gps tool:
port 4 br 57600
open the com port see that the data streams in the listbox and go to the satellites tab and wait till they will b found ( turn to green).
Run GPS Tool, choose COLD start/boot, and wait for your GPS to get a sat fix. This may take a while...
btw, you DO KNOW, that it won't work indoors?
