Hi folks
 ,I have finally found the solution for TomTom 7 to get it work without extras and without gpsGate. you need either GPSPROXY 2.2 or PortSplitter both are free, i recommend GPSPROXY. I have tested and TT7 catch signal within 2-3 secs  pls install latest .net CF first b4 u install GpsProxy I am also attaching GpsProxy for you.

GPSPROXY and PortSplitter have the same functionality as GPSgate, right? Share your GPS device with mutiple programs.
In other words: you still have to use a piece of extra software. What is so special about your solution? |

I can use it without any software, but it involves a reset. Here's how.
Simply start tomtom 7, then exit tt7. Restart the i900 (soft rest). Once booted launch tomtom 7 again and wait about 30sec to a 1min it will find satellites now. Its a pain but it works. Well works for me. This post has been edited by Hendrickson: Oct 7 2008, 08:03 |

except a small fix in TT7 main programs, there is no "solution" to make it work as it without any special manipulation (rest etc......).
the one you are exposing is same as using GPSGATE except it uses free software, so thanks to share it with the community |

Hi DeOS, the special is you dont have to pay for gpsProxy as its free. you dont have to use your internet/gprs so you dont have to pay 4 that too. and some other guys reported gpsGate crashes sometime. and its not about the speciality its all abt how to get it work untill TT itself pronounce patch. All you have to do is run the gpsProxy b4 tt 7/6 and run tt7. the bug is not in the phone but it is with tt7/6 itself as you can see you can run any other softs like garmin or copilot.... without extras and they work just fine -------------------- |

QUOTE(datafanatic @ Oct 7 2008, 13:31) Totally agree DF Agreed such a nicer GUI and also no need to run additional apps in the background. Routing engine seems more suited to running mobile devices than that of TomToms (in my opinion?) |

My only problem is to get the radars in. Does anyone know an easy solution ?

I tried this here with TT7 ... and it doesnt really work better than Route66 I got with my i900.
I did everything exactly like explained in the first post. It also takes at least 30 seconds with totally free sight to the sky. No improvement for me. |
