Garmin Mobile XT Question

[Guest slpy07]

Hi,

I just finished installing garmin mobile xt on my omnia 2 and was wondering, in the gps connection settings area, what do i set GPS Program Port to? Mine is currently showing COM3 and what do I set GPS Hardware Port to? Mine is currently showing COM9. What shall I set the Baud Rate to as well? It's showing 4800. I have Manage GPS Automatically checked on as well. I also enabled XTRA cuz I have a data plan. One last thing, when I go into Garmin Mobile XT Remote GPS setting mine shows Use GPS Intermediate Driver is that wrong, please help. Thank you everyone!!

Hi,

Under setting - General setting - GPS :-

1) GPS program port : COM 7

2) GPS hardware port : COM 9

3) Baud Rate : 9600 ( works ok with me !!! )

4) Enable Manage GPS automatically ( Click ON )

Under Garmin XT - Click signal bar ( top left icon )

1) MAKE SURE its COM7 : COM7

2) IF NOT then click disable button

3) Click Use serial GPS - set it to COM 7

4) Then Enable it back.

5) Click View Map then wait for few minutes ( cold start time frame ) .......should be OK !!!

how do u update agps??

please remove my images bro.. go to setting, general, gps,xtra GPS. update it. also i didn't change GPS port :)

works for me. less than 10sec under the open air

I prefer to use GPS Intermediate Driver.

I use this app called GPSCycleComputer and if I have Garmin use COM7, GPSCC sometimes refuses to get a GPS fix after I've used Garmin.

before im running GMXT. im using AGPS. only needs less than 10seconds :D

[Guest tRAILeRZ]

From my experience, if you have manage to get a GPS lock before, maybe in other programs, and currently takes a ridiculously long time to get a lock, a soft reset sometimes helps.. worth a try.

Anyway my GMXT is working fine too.

For the guys using Gamin XT how is it on the Omnia II, does it perform smoothly?

Ive just been using Igo 8 R1, same version i used for my Omnia i900. It works well just a bit laggy,

Also whats the difference with XT and CN?

Thanks
