after LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG period of misery with portsplitter, gpsgate, pgsproxy etc...

THIS IS WONDERFUL!!!!

confirmed working, thanks go out to the programmer and to weirdo for reporting this!

Just for information people, I've tried all the fixes I could find to get Tomtom working on the wife's i900v; GPSGate, PortSplitter, GPSModDriver, GPSToggle, various ROMs, nothing worked. Tried installing IGO8 and it worked almost immediately with no fixes  
Tomtom doesn't appear to be fully compatible with the i900 despite what you read elsewhere but other software is. It took me three days of trawling forums and reloading ROMs to find this simple fact out.

Good luck to the guys and gals who have got it working but IMO forget Tomtom on this phone it's more hassle than it's worth.

Yes, I also have this same issue...

I get a fix quite quickly using this driver, but the position is not very stable... Most of the time, it's just constantly moving from one street to the other one, altough I get 7 or 8 sats... Anyone else with the same experience? Is it linked to this driver, or linked to the quality of the internal GPS of the i900 ?

[molko]

Well, i have another problem.

When i set COM2 port in windows gps settings, after a soft reset it comes back to COM4. I hope i was clear.

Can anybody help me?

[Goeroe]

Works Like A Charm  

But ehh, it refreshes kind of slow, i drive like 100 meters, and then it update's. It doesnt go fluidly with me. Like my old car nav  did. (That was a Renault Nav Software)

i never have problems to get sats but always this problem in time error.

any guy knows how to fix this?

I think the topicstarter should clearly state that he's NOT the developer and the link must be updated to the 1.51 version. The old version is prone to installationproblems and is a pain to uninstall.

If anyone has done some finetuning and made it work okay on a Omnia i900, please share your settings as my TomTom is jumping back and forth.

Anyone know where in REG I can find:

1.gps program port com 2
2.hardware com 9 baudrate 9600
3.acces manage gps automatically

I would like to include these changes in GpsModDriver_138.cab installer file.

What do you think?

cheers

I think you should check the topic of the person who made this app on XDA. (just google gps moddriver) Why the hell do you want to change this dated version?

[kingamer]

hi guys would this work on tg01 as tomtom cannot connect and it allways restarts the phone

[JohnNy_]

Thanks!  

I installed your driver on my I8000, TomTom works perfect now! Only a few seconds and i've got a good satellite connection

Running TomTom 7.916.9192 and Secany's I8000NXXJA1.

[M4tini]

Thanks for this, finally working without the battery draining portsplitter gps lock within a couple of sec

@ ALL HAVING TROUBLE TO INSTALL
I had the error after install and solved it by downloading the latest version of this app v1.51 from XDA (GpsModDriver_151.cab)
To remove the older version I did a hard reset (was flashing a new rom anyway)
Then I installed the v1.51 GpsModDriver and chose 'Device' as install location ('My Storage' gave me the same error)

It should find your gps details automatically
Just change your gps in settings->system->external gps to com2 and 9600 baud, to sync with TomTom

You can check if GpsModDriver is working by launching it from the programs menu and checking if it displays numbers and possibly sattelites. If so, all should go well when you select the 'GpsModDriver' as your 'Other NMEA Reciever' (and of course 9600 baud)

Thanks again to the creator of this app! Gonna sell my normal TomTom right away

Im not convinced you lot purchased tomtom ...

the torrent version needs gps gate etc because it was a rip from an HTC phone and can't communictly correctly with the omnia buy it though it it supports the Omnia inbuilt gps receiver without any need for any external software.

this is simply not true! I have an original version and it does not work with i900!

[alexovy]

you dont need to install anything. Just soft reset your phone, start TT, put internal GPS and voila

This is by far the best fix for TomTom I have seen!  I struggled for a month to get TomTom working on my Omnia - this did the trick in about 5 mins!!

I too have had some issues with position jumping & eratic flow.  It is much better with the 151 version than the 138 version however - worth following the link (4 posts above) for the newer version.  (I had to hard reset to get v151 to work).

I still have an issue with the time jumping if I try to use the TomTom 'Arrival Time' in the status bar display.  If I am stuck in traffic for 5 mins, my older version of TomTom (v6 on an XDA IIi) would just add 5 mins to the arrival time.  This version seems to calculate a new average speed. While stationary, my arrival time gets MUCH further away!  I think this may be a function of the GPSModDriver algorithm.   Anybody have a solution.......??

[JaCoL]

no need fix anymore Just was WEB releas a new version of TomTom works with i900 GPS (version 7.917) Check it

[magi1984]

have you try 7.917?
works now on omnia???

for me it doesn't work!

sorry for my english
