Am having difficulties getting the GPS to work with Goole Maps and the product packaging here in Asia doesn't have TomTom.
I'm looking for a GPS testing tool to test whether I can get an initial lock onto a GPS (which I understand can take several minutes first time arond) and eventually then use Google Maps.
Google tells me there's a (freeware?) tool "GPS Viewer" by Holux / Maction but I can't seem to find a .cab file. Anybody can share a link to this or a similar tool, much appreciated.
Here is a tool for you. Setup COM4, 115200, NMEA
thanks for that ... I'm not able to set COM4, the drop down list for Port: has only "Serial_BTU COM7:"
does anyone know of a simple today plug-in that would display different gps info? like maybe lat/long, speed, direction, etc?
Isn't that going to kill battery... having GPS on all the time?

Of course it would... doesnt mean you have to have it active all the time though, i was just thinking of some instances where it would be cool to have that info but not loose all the other info on your today screen..

Hi Shogun
Seen some small apps that give basic data (no maps needed etc) but so far none that run as a plugin.

There is an app on use on WM5 called Navio that shows GPS data on a Today screen plugin. Do not know if will work on WM6. I hope to find out if AT&T would release the Tilt.
For using googlemaps, you must installing and using once tomtom. After, googlemaps is working fine.

GPS viewer is great because it actually shows you when you have a proper GPS lock.

Hey guys, I ran across this link and thought i'd share. basically its a way to kill the automatic partnership in activesync. Helps a lot if your constantly reloading roms and just use AS to transfer files. Or use the reg settings in the zip. Enjoy!
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/applications/undocumentedactivesync.htm
That's definitely something very useful that you found.
Here's a link to ACTIVESYNC PORTABLE
For USB drives and situations where you may not be able to install activesync (work, school..etc..)

Negative. I haven't even tried it yet... do tell....
Good find david, I use WM5torage when i need to transfer on the go or just email. Problem is im all over the map and cant seem to keep a flash drive handy. I actually buy the bulk packs of one gigs now =)
be careful, papamopps says there are problems with it ... so lets wait for his reply before I suggest using it... since I have never used it myself.

I need to start tracking my movements because i just recently started a new hobby where i could easily get lost. If there is either some way to track my steps or mark my location every 5mins per say.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Note: i know googlemaps has TrackMe but I do not have a data plan, so i use TT6.
This feature is usually called "bread crumbing" and I do not believe that Tom Tom has it - I have hadd almost every version of TomTom including one not on my Tilt and I cannot find it there.Bill

I have used tomtom for years as well and never seen a feature like this.
ok i've searched trying to figure out how to run trackme with tomtom but it don't work
guess im just stuck without for now.
You can try WMMiniGPS11b_Installer which will track your path, and export it to KML to view on Google maps/earth or live search
Though this won't help you if you are lost I suppose...

never worked for me with tomtom....
there are several apps to track but nothing to be comined with tomtom6....
so you need a gpsgate software so that 2apps can use 1 GPS...
good luck

So are you saying that if i download gpsgate, i will be able to run both TT and TrackMe effectively?
LOL, just to get a fix in the boston area is a pain in the ass i have to open gps router, then go to gpstest, then download quickgps, then open tomtom just to get a fix now i need gpsgate sh1t.
Thanks for your help man. i'll report back.
Fwiw, I just checked on mine with Garmin XT and it does do a selectable time Track Log as well as a POI file to store your own waypoints.

ok i'll check out garmin software soon i think tt is kinda sucking on my device. Wish i knew why.

Don't we have an application called GPS Router within WM 6.1 to take care of this?? I am using Dutties and I have. It can be found under start/programs/system tools...
Correct me if I am wrong

I installed Track Me yesterday and had fun with it all day long. Please define "Doesn't work" and lets see what we cah do to help you. There is a HUGE thread on how to make this program work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
Now - At the very TOP of this thread it indicates a couple of programs that you have to have installed on your computer -
REQUIREMENTS
Devices running Windows Mobile 5 or 6 (no Windows Mobile for Smartphones)
Microsoft Compact Framework 3.5
SQL Server Mobile 3.5
and it gives you a download link. Mine did not work either until I downloaded those.
THEN install the program. It works a treat. The only problem I have had with it is if I tell it to connect every thirty minutes and check the box to disconnect after each connection - it does not seem to connect after that.

oh sorry, i did post in that link what my problem was after i started this thread. This thread was for the purpose for another program.
Anyhow my problem is after reading that thread and following different peoples advice i cannot get a fix with any gps program when i have trackme open.
PathAway 4 Professional has a feature to upload your coordinates in a few different ways, email, and I think even a web post method. I haven't looked at the features closely yet, but check it out.
I am sorry if this sounds noob but I recently upgraded my phone to tilt from 8525
I see that it has an internal GPS, does that mean I can use a third party software to use the GPS without using data connection(like predownload the map on to the SD card)?
thanks in advance.
Yes you can. Go under the wiki and find the TomTom taster version software and try it out for yourself. You get a free small map and it works rather well. I believe you do have to have your phone turned on however because it uses the towers signals as well if I am not mistaken.
But you definitely do not need any Data Connection. Just use Wifi or something to update your QuickGPS and you'll be ready to go!
Hope this helped

thanks for the information.
I see that if I want the maps I would have to purchase them.
Does google offer similar options at free of cost?
Sir Noob, please search before posting. Your questions have both been answered many times. You don't start a new thread (that means ask a question in a new post) until you have searched for the answer first.
And yes, Google Maps or Live Search Maps are both free services and they work pretty well, depending on your needs.
Welcome to the forum.
Google maps provide mobile maps without data connection>?

does google map need data connection to download the map or is there a place i can download the map packages?
sorry for triple posting, my browser is acting up again
Wow, I thought you spazzed out or something.
I really wish you would do the Search thing. This has been covered.
On the phone navigate to Google.com then select "More" at the top. It takes you to another page. Select Maps which takes you to the page to install the Maps. Once installed go to Start- Programs- Google Maps and you have it.
Does anyone know of an application similar to the new AroundMe app for the iPhone. If you haven't seen it, http://www.tweakersoft.com/mobile/aroundme.html . Please let me know if anyone can think of anything.
Try GoogleMaps. Completely different interface but you can pinpoint your location and find businesses around you just as AroundMe seems to do.
Yea, I have google maps. But google maps doesn't already have existing categories, and AroundMe sorts people's favorites. Also, around me uses your existing location on GPS as the marker to search, which I really like.
Windows Live searches around your current gps location.

If someone could upload that .cab, I would be grateful. The links on the website they provide no longer works.
Google maps can use your gps location to find where you are. I use it when walking around london. That place is like a maze!
