Google Maps GPS on MDA Vario II (HTC HermesS

[Guest nonker]

Hi,

This looks like a great place for me to avoid going completely insane!

I'm new here and I've just got myself my first wm5 phone in the form of a t-mobile MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes?)

This fix sounds like just the thing for my problem.... which is....

I want to use my Holox (not Holux) BT-321 GPS receiver with Google Maps.

I've tried everything - t-mobile don't give you a GPS option in the settings menu by the way.

I have done what I can with the bluetooth settings and the devices are paired.

I have installed Franson GPSgate which tells me that the GPS receiver is giving a valid location.

Google Maps always says that my GPS device is not reponding.

I tried to use your cab file (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=254817 and I changed the com port from 6 to 8 as my device does not let me choose 6 as the incoming port for some unknown reason.) but I have still had no success.

I copied the cab file to my MDA and tried to run it from there, is this correct?

Can you help me?????

Thanks for any small titbits of knowledge.

Thanks, I did indeed have an out of date version, I've just downloaded 1.2.0.4 and as far as I could see I did not have the 1.2.1 option that you mention in your post in the other thread.

I sill have the same problem although gmm now says it's searching for satellites before telling me that my bt device is not responding.

Thanks for trying
