I am not sure how to set Omnia's google map. I select the option to let win mobile manage it instead of assigning a port. when using goggle map, it keeps showing 'searching for satellite (0)'...

Under Settings>External GPS, it has 2 tabs:
1) Programs>GPS Settings - GPS Program Port
2) Hardware>GPS hardware port

which one should be used if a port is to be manually assigned in google map?

For me it worked with the standard settings, so the win mobile manage. Make sure you go outside to test.

Very true.  Also hold it in portrate mode instead of landscape if you seem to be having troubles...


I too also though i had defective GPS.  Went upstairs and leaned out the window and it picked up 10 in seconds.  Living in a old townhouse with large stone walls.

Also if you want to configure it manually in my Tom Tom 7 app, i use Com 3 port on baud 4800.
