How can I get GPS "XTRA" to work for me?

[Guest cerberez]

I've read that some people are using a kind of aGPS that downloads packets of data about where satellites will be to get a quicker lock, but they also mention going to settings under "enhanced gps settings."

Also, I don't see any "enhanced gps settings," which I hear mentioned in a bunch of threads about XTRA. I did a registry hack to show GPS settings, but I only saw "normal" GPS settings, where you choose a COM port and stuff. Can I get to those settings somehow?

I use a verizon i910. I'm currently using a BGill 6.5 CF03 ROM if that makes a difference.

Please help a clueless beginner!

Thanks so much!

The "Enhanced GPS Settings" applet is only on the i900 I believe.

As for getting quicker locks, Google for "HTC QuickGPS Omnia port" -- should net you a .cab that will periodically downoad the satellite ephemeris data and help the phone get lock quicker.
