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.
Does anyone have the camera working with the gps? I would like to use this feature while hiking. I believe i have the gps working but i dont find any info stored in the Images? Thanks
Im running Alexes 6.1 rom and the latest 6.1 radio 1.64.06.04
Use this
Using any registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\ and in the folder P9 change "enabled" from 0 to 1. Now new option GPS Photo will appear in the menu.
When you take a GPS Photo it will store under a folder called POI, in pictures (pictures location depends on what you set it.) Use the attached to open a photo from the POI folder. You will see the GPS coordinates set as extended attributes.
MODs: I found the attached as a freeware when searching google. If it is not please remove, and let me know.
JKO
You can also use KaiserTweak to activate this.
i want to use the GPS OPTION but when i run it from my camera i get the message
"initialing GPS........" and it didnt work.
why?
You need to start up another GPS program first, like Tomtom or CoPilot, then try the gps photo option and it will work
I tried it during my holiday to get it working... If I wait a bit on the initializing it shows a globe with some bars above it in the display.
But if I read out the EXIF tags it doesn't show a location?
Or do I need to boot a GPS app first?
Boot a GPS application, get a fix and then use it.
This way it works flawlessly.
Where can one find this GPS tagging option - I have looked high and low and its not there
You would need to edit the registry first, in order to see that option in your camera.
i'm assuming that you haven't turned on GPS tagging yet...for doing that u need to use some registry editor...search for GPS photo to get the steps needed to do it
and no, GPS tagging doesn't need to have any GPS software running in the background...when u click on GPS photo, the camera program automatically gets ur GPS co-ordinates (provided ur in the open)
these GPS co-ordinates do not however show up automatically in most photo software. the one i tested was opanda iexif reader...which can be downloaded from www.opanda.com
once u start iexif, load up the photo u just took...btw, GPS tagged photos will be saved by default into the 'My POI' folder...u can get to see the co-ordinates and GPS data in the software. Also, there is a lookup option, where u can see the photo location in google maps thru ur browser.
it works for me so far...but i guess there needs to be some program to automate the whole process
if this is a feature of the phone, why is it so hidden?
u gotta put that question to HTC i guess
My Diamond shows a GPS altitude offset of about 50 m plus to actual hight. I´ve tried different GPS applications and also cleared GPS memory without any success.
Is there a possibility to correct the offset?
Do other users face similar problems?
I believe the HTC touch diamond has a well known GPS issue... It's always 50m wrong, either in directions via GPS software of regarding altitude...
This is the divergence of the real world (geoide) from the idealized ellipsoidal model that the GPS system uses. Some GPS receivers have an internal data table with correction values for this offset. But our beloved internal GPS doesn't seem to have such.
The offset here in Germany (and probably in Swizerland) is about 42 meters lower.
Some programs do allow to enter a manual offset. Pathaway for example. IGo and TomTom don't.
Thanks for the tip, geoide was exactly the right keyword. I´ve now found more details in internet about it and even my software (noniGps) is able to correct it

Please divulge on how you did it?

With noniGPS you can specify a Geoide correction at Advanced Setup/GPS. Note that you have to suppress "Upd auto" (same setup page) otherwise the software ignores the correction. More details here >>
http://aeguerre.free.fr/Public/PocketPC/NoniGPSPlot/EN/menu.php#M62
Nasty thing is that the software has to correct the offset and that I have to adapt the correction manually depending my current location.
Calculation can be done here >>
http://earth-info.nga.mil/GandG/wgs84/gravitymod/wgs84_180/intptW.html?
I'm not a GPS expert but shouldn't the GPS HW and/or driver do this correction automatically? At least my car GPS is able to give the right altitude without manual intervention.
So let me raise the question again:
Is there a possibility to do the GEOID correction within HTC Diamond for all GPS application (e.g. Tom Tom) ???
I am looking for a program that will give me some details in the general location I am located? I don’t need to know the exact address, but I need it to work without a data connection and around the world. If can give speed altitude and coordinates would be great too. thanks
I am using GPS Tuner 5 right now which works ok, but the map has no detail and everything is in KM and not Miles. anyone know how to change that?
