Guest Reuben (MY) Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Hey guys whats the default settings for the above rom? I can't get google maps or anything to lock. Can someone with this rom (DXHI3) please tell me what they have for the: External GPS - GPS Program Port COM3 GPS Hardware Port COM9 and Baud rate 9600 Manage GPS Automatically. p/s: 1. you need to be outdoor to get gps satalite 2. googlemap requires internet connection, so you need not disable GPRS. I have tried forum search and google search and none of the results work. Also, can someone tell me where to confirm the radio rom version? Settings->System->Version Cheers! there are plenty of post for GPS setting here and everyone still prefer to open new post... answers in the quoted message. i think googlemap is just a mapping software, it doesn't come with tracking and routing, does it? i'm using garmin mxt and still happy with it. in addition, you need to connect to internet (either wifi or gprs), and go Settings->System->Enhanced GPS. enable XTRA; leave autodownload as disable and press the XTRA data download button. you'll know the download is completed when the "busy" icon disappear. after all the above, start your navigation system and it should works fine.

Guest stuzathegreat Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) .... arghh..... WTF .... double, even tripple post created by "edits". Pls ignore. Edited October 7, 2008 by stuzathegreat
Guest stuzathegreat Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) ..... Thank you! All i needed to know was Com3/Com9/baud rate. And yes, the searches I did came up with nothing that worked.... why is that so hard to believe? I have found so many hits with people giving diferent settings, I tried about 10 times and after about 2 hours standing in the cold I gave up (understandably). The simple fact of the matter was, like so many people on forums you over answered the question without actually answering the question ... which you have now done, thank you! Sadly, my battery is now flatter than a thin crust pizza so I will try these tomorrow after charging. wtf: I've tried to put this edit in about 3 times now and each time its not updated - Sorry, also to add that as you embedded your answer in my quotes I missed it and for that I appologise but can I recommend you don't do this as its very easy to miss.

Guest stuzathegreat Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Just stood outside on the top of an open air car park and the settings didn't work. Route 66 says no GPS detected GoogleMaps - never gets a lock Guess these don't work for my rom, are you on exactly the same version? PDA: i900DXHI3/DXHI3 Phone: i900DXHI3

PDA: i900DXHI3/DXHI3 Phone: i900DXHI3 Hi, Try com2 instead of com3 because com3 is alocated to a IR port. In com9 (hardware) change baud rate from 4800 to 34800 (i've DXH12). ;)

PDA: i900DXHI3/DXHI3 Phone: i900DXHI3 Just to confirm, I've got the same problem with DXHI3. Worked fine under DXHI1. Didn't find a solution yet, I will paly arround with the gps-settings (althouth R66 is searching itself for gps-hardware, so no need to change any settings).

Guest stuzathegreat Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Cracked it! Combination of info from everyone ... thanks to all!!! Software - Com2 Hardware - Com9/9600 Just worked a treat with Googlemaps.... no time to test Route66 as i'm at work. Thanks again all and hope it works for you!!! ;)
Guest Octopus1968 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Also sorted it out, with the standard settings (Com 3/ Com 9 / 4800). I deleted the GPSID_log.txt and xtra.bin (after a soft reset) and the satellites were found again.

Guest bobobird Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 Sorry for going out of topic a bit but Where can we find those 2 files exactly? Thanx both files will be in the root directory of the device. xtras.bin only if you have enabled xtras and done a download
