Hello everyone, anyone here uses Garmin mobile on their shift? i cant seem to make it work on the ROM's we have available. Any advise you could provide?
Maybe you could be more explicit on what you are trying to do. Garmin works on both side.

my apologies thaihugo. i was actually referring to garmin mobile pc. after doing a lot of reading on this forum, i found the solution. i had to upgrade the garmin mobile pc to a 5.0.0.60 version thru their website. that was the only time that it detected the virtual com port that gps gate created.

Garmin Mobile XT doesn't work on it :-( it can't find my GPS :-s
UPDATE 2008-06-14:
- Installed TomTom Navigator 6, works fine!
- I am wondering, will TomTom Navcore 8 work?
Since we can't use microSD card, I think only possibility is to use Garmin Bluetooth GPS.
tomtom

The diamond works fine with Garmin Mobile XT with internal GPS on com 4
There is no Navcore8 for PPC.

Navcore8 for PNDs is Linux only. Your best hope is TomTom 7 if ever it is released. There were rumours of it built in ROM from a German site , with a limited Map.

How did you install? I have XT on a microSD but can't copy to Internal Storage, it only gives me an evaluation option or external GPS.
download install file from http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389
then serach google on getting the internal gps to work
tomtom 6
i have tomtom 6 running on my diamond. Just copy the intire map to your diamond and then run the ttn.cab file. It will install itself on youre diamond. Then when it is installed go to gps settings and select OTHER NMEA GPS (or the one thats sounds like that) and then select com4. Should run like a charm.
tomtom6
i don't know if i can upload tomtom6 to the ftp site of XDA-developers? So that we all can enjoy tomtom.

Try google and take a look on the sites where you find tomtom... They got WAREZ written all over so i advise you not to upload it anywhere as it's illegal to do so.

Hi guys how do I go about setting the internal GPS to COM 4, all the methods I've tried keeps resetting when I press OK.
My Diamond would be a lot better if I had GPS working...
i have tomtom as wel.
to be honest i do not like it so much. it seems old and outdated. the letters are really small on the diamond and it takes a few minutes to get a lock.
i am waiting for route 66 v8. i had a good experience with v7 so i hope this is better than tomtom.
if tomtom would only release new versions.....
My TT - when in use, does not keep up with where I am located - it seems always to be lagging behind when i am approaching side streets . I have full signal too.
Hi, i have tried google earth but i see i need to connect to internet to see the place i´m looking for.
I would like to know if there is any .cab in the one i don´t have to connect internet to see what i´m looking for. a complete version like in a pc.
thanks.
no there isnt, u might want to use somthing like tomtom or garmin mobile for that..
and on pc version, it does require an internet connection aswell.

I tried the Tomtom 6 but when i try to look for a street it doesn´t find the GPS.
What could i do?
Thanks
I am very happy with my HTC Shift. On this moment i got Windows Vista and Windows 7 with dual boot on the system. I installed the Gullum ROM.
Now i've got one final issue and i don't know if it is possible. I would like get my GPS connected to the windows side. I know there is a tooling named GPS tool, maybe this is the solution for that. But i don't know how to use this tool.
If it is possible could some make a short discription how to do this?
In this case it might be possible to install route66 or another routeplanner.

You can use Franson GPSgate
Hey guys
I know I posted this before asking for help with the GPS
I live in Israel, I really wish to have a working GPS to use in Israel
How can I do that, I have used the age of beauty from Thaihugo.
After that I am stuck, since I don't know how to set it up, or what to use as software. Please someone I would really appreciate if someone writes a step by step guide on how to use the GPS on the shift. And how can I have a GPS on the Vista side
I am a newbie and I rely on you guys to learn, so far from this forum, I learned how to hardspl, and install custom roms. BUT the GPS from me is a different story it is so complicated for me to look for threads to that, so please I need a step by step guide
Thanks
Dude what kind of experince are you looking for?
If its turn by turn then its going to be running software on the vista side such as Garmin PC or iGo
If its windows mobile side then at this time its only google maps....
try this
HI if you want a real good basic gps program try BeeLine GPS. Its only a small app and it works great on the shift. http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/default.htm
If you want a gps Nav, you need maps and at this stage it a "no go" because there in not enough storage on wm( no sd yet)
Guys I want GPS on PC side-
Do i just have to install the Garmin or IGO and thats it, or do I have to do something to set up the GPS from WM side, as I told u I have age of beauty running on WM side.
So please tell me what to do exactly

I belive you need to use "gps gate", there a a few post on how to that. I havent done it as I havent had the need yet.
The first or second post of Thaihugo's Age of Beauty Rom tells you how to connect GPS from WinMo to Vista side. You definitely need to follow the link, download the Windows software, install it and set up as per that website's instructions to get it working though.
I've done it and it seems to work fine and seems easier than GPSgate (which you also have to pay for whereas the one in the ROM is free)
I know it seems like an uphill battle, but honestly, really do read the forum as all the info is there
I know how to connect gps with ivsta,but i don't know how to configure it for google earth pro.can anyone help
hey guys
so many posts from me to ask your help for a newbie to install and set up a gps for my shift. I live in Israel, and I ask you kindly to tell me step by step guide to have a gps running on the vista side.
I really now reached the begging point, how much more humiliation do I need to show before someone can help
I am running age of beauty from thaihugo
Did you follow this?
http://www.paludour.net/GPS2BlueFAQ.html#USB
if not, tell me where you are stuck.
Otherwise,click on the gps2blue icon in the htc debug tools on wm side.
Make sure you install a gps progam on vista side. What's your choice?
Google Map
You should try google map. It's lighter and easy to use. Kindly ensure you activate HTCgps tool to connect with google map. It's easy and fast.
We will wait until the sd card available in our WM then we can use other GPS like garmin or others.
Cheers.
Don't change any settings in gps2blue. it must be com4.
on pc, the com you set is for your gps program. if you say com9, then configure igo to com 9.
gps2blue and pc side use tcp/ip to communicate. Have you established and activesync connection using usb tools before running everything?
just one more question, if i want to use the gps do i need to have access to the internet.
If yes, how can I use the GPS without internet, like I use it on my htc touch hd
thanks thaihugo

you don't need internet access. Just make sure you leave it a long time in an open area to get it's signal.
