I am wanting to locate a memory map for the wizard, I would really prefer if it included real and virtual addresses, a mapping between them if it exists, etc.
Granted some virtual addresses do not have a mapping, such as the 'syscalls' that are done, but at least their range should be identified.
I cant locate this anywhere, so if anyone has one can you point me to it?
Thanks

according to gmm the gps isn't set on the gps in the settings area of the wm. i recall seeing this option on wm5 but isn't present on wm6. it's probably a simple registry lookup if anyone can find a work around let me know.

GPS didn't work for me in Google Maps even though it was set up and working correctly with TomTom Navigator. Though I am using WM5. If it is a reg hack to make those options show up in settings they might be in the wiki.
i saw it on another sub forum. i think universal. it is somewhere in the registry.
HKLM\Controlpanel\GPS Settings
Add value "Group" (dWord)
Value "2" (show) Delete "redirect" and "hide" completely (if its there)
to rehide enter value "1" (hide)
is that to enable GPS on WM6? can i use it on my 8125?

Dammit! finally a question on this forum I actually had the answer to and several beat me to it! ;-)
Hopefully my musings will help someone or two setting this up anyway...
GMM seems to rely on the PPC "telling" it that it has a GPS, and where it is, instead of GMM "looking" for it, like most GPS software does.
The reg hack posted above will restore the GPS icon in Settings > Connections. Then you tell the utility what port your GPS is really on, and then setup what virtual port you want software to think it's on. (You can select "COM0-COM9" or "GD0-GD9- I assume the "GD" stands for GPS Device" and not what the hell is a G** D*** GD port?") Once you do this, Google Maps finds the GPS no problem.
I tried it GMM after "fixing" the GPS problem yesterday, and almost had my 8-year old son convinced the sat picture he was viewing was "live" until he noticed there was no snow in the on-screen "live camera" view of the Denver suburbs! ;-)
As a bonus, the GPS manager in WM allows you to use multiple GPS programs at once- (usually when a program connects to a COM port it gets exclusive access, but this virtual port is available to all programs.) It was a hoot switching between Mapopolis, GMM and MS Virtual Earth and comparing. (V Earth is slower downloading data over GPRS/EDGE compared to GMM, but I like having the street names superimposed over the aerial image.)
Weird heads-up in case you run into this- my usual GPS Nav software (Mapopolis) wouldn't see the GPS on the "fake" COM port unless I used one of the "GDx" ones. Any other "COMx" (other than the real one) wouldn't work. I suspect this is because Mapopolis probably checks the hardware directly for COMx ports rather than going through the OS, but is forced to go through WM for the virtual GDx ports that don't really exist in hardware, so sticking to a GDx port is probably best (it will also avoid accidentally selecting a virtual COM that conflicts with a real COM port like your IR port, etc.) I suspect the other major PPC Nav programs probably do the same as Mapopolis and go to the hardware directly since this virtual GPS port stuff is fairly new...
Hope I helped someone! ;-)

Thanks for this. I thought I did do this but only set up one of the tabs it's working perfectly now.
Any good lat long mapping programs for Kaiser/Tilt? I've downloaded google mobile maps and street names are not discernible. Likewise with mapquest. Any other mobile latlong mapping software out there?
I know you have been waiting for a reply to this question but I think no one is really sure what you are asking for.
Are you wanting A GPS mapping application (because there are just a few threads on here about them that you should use your keyboard to look at) or do you mean something else?
I have a program that sends lat/long coordinates for my phone in the event its stolen, lost, or just for fun. Once I have the lat'lonmg coordinates I need to view them through a mapping program such as google maps or mapquest. Live search doesn't offer lat/long option. These programs work well at the desktop (lots of graphic resolution) but not so on our little tilts. I'm looking for a mobile mapping program that takes lat long coordinate info and displays within reason on our little QVGA. I've used Internet Explorer and Opera Mini 4 and I am unable to zoom in enough to read street names associated with a lat/long coordinate.
The problem can be seen by putting any coordinates (ex: 33.5900, -111.850) in the following link with a tilt:
www.maps.google.com/maps
if your phone gets stolen, you want to be able to type in the lat/long of your phone, into your phone?
interesting!
I must apologise but you have lost me!
Are you wanting to view where you are on your phone?
Are you wanting to view where your phone is on a PC?
edit...
Hang on, ARE you wanting to send data between TWO phones and see where each other is???
I need software that will allow me to mark a waypoint and add a description to it for later retrieval.
Anyone know of something that works like that?
I've looked, but haven't been lucky at all.

GPS Tuner is very good. You can import/export tracklogs, waypoints etc in multiple formats, like GPX or Google Earth kml.
Memory Map (I'm assuming you're from the UK), which is Ordnance Survey mapping software, works with the internal GPS. It will record waypoints and routes and provides data like elevation, speed, etc. You can upload the data to a PC for analysis. You can find...er....evaluation copies on the net.
If you're planning on doing it with any amount of accuracy, then have a read of this thread which will be relevant to you.

I would like to use the GPS on my phone to map my position on a static map or a jpeg. I don't want to use the web at all, I want to store my maps in static images and pull up the appropriate map and be able to find my position on that map
Does anyone know if this is possible and how it would be done?
Thanks.

I realize you want to be able to import maps, something you cannot do with BeeLineGPS (http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/BeeLineGPS), but I'd still strongly recommend the program. It does not do anything over the Internet but it does do just about everything one could do with GPS data. As far as getting some kind of reference of where things are on a blank map, you can import waypoints or mark them on your phone and you can export the movement you've tracked into KML (Google Earth).
From their website: "BeeLineGPS is a high performance Pocket PC cache navigation and management software tool. Import GPX files and manage thousands of waypoints with the advanced Waypoint Manger. View, manage and hunt geocaches with ease and confidence while having fun, a perfect paperless solution. BeeLineGPS also includes active waypoint technology where a waypoint can trigger a warning window for speed traps, safety cameras or play a sound byte while on a guided tour. Other features include waypoint averaging, altitude profiling and a comprehensive trip computer. BeeLineGPS is the ultimate GPS tool for your geocaching and outdoor needs. BeeLineGPS waypoint database can support thousands of waypoints with over 120 icons to depict specific locations."
It's 30 day shareware that eventually turns into nagware but you may find it's worth the $30. Here's the cab: http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/BeeLineGPSInstall.CAB
I have not used this at all, haven't even installed it yet, but you might want to look at MyMotion
Very interesting, thanks guys.
I think MyMotion is the closest I've seen yet. I don't really care about tracking where I've been - does anyone know of any open source similar to MyMotion?

i'm newbie on gps stuff so i would like a software that i can track my phone for an example... in every 30minutes the phone autorun gps send the coords to some place on internet or something and then turn off gps again... this on background and i can track on my pc at home or something... this is usefull in a robbery... can this be done? thx in advance ;P

I think you should take a look at GPStuner. It does a lot of things
- Maps can be downloaded from the phone, or from a computer and stored on memory card. (i currently have 50 JPG covering 200 sq km)
- It records your track, gives information about your current speed, altitude, average speed...
- You set up points aywhere on the map and it will lead you to them, or search nearby points. I use it for things that do not come on Tomtom, like bus stops, libraries or free WiFi hotspots
- You can save your track and open it on Google Earth
Another similar software is tracky, but I like GPSTuner more
chinomoreno, it's not polite to hi-jack a thread... start another with your question.
You can also use LEM's TrackMe, using it off-line it will store your data on your device until you decide to upload it (by example when connected with Wifi or ActiveSync). It also stores .kml files you can use in Google Earth.
We've kind of moved off topic to tracking software as opposed to being able to find a point on a static map or image... is it really that difficult to do???
TW,
Desktop app exportable to kaiser
I use Memorymap on my desktop and it can be fully exported to pda. Incorporates standard maps and arial photographic images which you can flip between:

PathAway, but it's way more than what you're asking for. You can create a map, calibrate it, then upload it. You can do large maps, small maps, etc.. And you can pull in topo or sat maps in on the fly over the data connection too if you don't happen to have a map already made.
Hey everyone,
I'd like to connect to a windows server 2008 box in my home network to access networked files (like you would in a LAN), so I don't have to fill my SGS's memory only to realize I only have access to a very small part of my movie/music collection.
I've been looking around for guides on how to do this but I haven't found a very good one yet, so links or small tips on how to do this are always welcome, just like other solutions for my problem.
I also tried openvpn, but it seems I'll need to run some kind of Virtual Appliance with needs a lot of RAM (which my basic server box does not have).
Thx for your help guys,
