| Tomtom 7 with q9h ? uilt-in or nmea.. need modaco com4 fix or not ? How are you guys getting TomTom to work with the intermediate driver ? Right now if try any of the ports with Tomtom 7 and either the NMEA or built-in mode it doesnt find th GPS data -- Is this simply bcoz the GPS is turned off or bcoz the data is not available on the com port ? In short I guess what I am asking is do I need to installl the modaco COM3/4 fix and then use the launcher by U2 ? last time I tried the modaco hack in conjuction with GPSTest it seemed to come on, but didnt find any sattelites in 15 min, and the battery started draining in 2 /3 hrs .. I assume bcoz it wasnt turning the GPS off, and maybe U 2 s launcher will solve that problem.. just wanted to ask how exactly you guys are going abt it.. Also u-2 u said u configured ur gps to COM3... how did you do that ? thx in adv for all ur help Last edited by imukherjee; 07-09-2008 at 09:42 PM. |

| Launcher is for Tomtom 6 & 7 for PPC. I had to modify it for TT7 because of odd problem: in the navigtion mode (even in the route demo mode) TT7 hanged on after 15 sec. If any button was pressed, it came back. It looks like TT7 does not work correctly with Q9h power manager. The modification is simple: every 5 sec the launcher sets power mode to "ON".

|  TomTom 7 GPS on MotoQ9h :-) After u read this. If anyone would like me to email them back the correct port and speed settings I used. feel free. motoq9howner@hotmail.com I got the MotoQ9h about four days ago and love it. TomTom 7 Works great. To set the correct port and speed settings on the internal gps chip. You will need the program Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings. That is all i used to get the gps working for TomTom7. I am attaching the info I had written for TomTom 7 a few days ago so u all can read it. Yes you can use TomTom with the Motorola Q9h. You will only need to download Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings in order to setup the correct port and speed settting on the internal gps. I have read things that people talk about having to download and use Fakecursor. Yes the MotoQ9h is not touch screen, but u still do not need Fakecursor in order to use TomTom Nav on MotoQ9h. My secret is the key between the calender key and the +0 key at the bottom of the keyboard. U can use this key to swich between typing out letters and numbers. In the case of typing out an address. U have probably seen that if u try to type out the name of a street, or the name of the city u will get numbers instead of letters on certain keys. Well folks that is where u can use what I call my magic button that I told u about ealier =]. All u do is hold the button down till u get a beep, let it go and then u can type all the letters u need in order to spell out the street or city, if u have to type in a number u hold the key down again till u hear another beep and then u can type all the numbers in u want, like for the zip code or number of street address. All u have to do to switch between inserting number and letters when typing an address route u just hold the key down till u hear a beep and can switch between using numbers or letters. Hold It down the first time it switches to inserting letters. Hold it down again it switches to inserting numbers. Hold it down again and it will switch back to letters again and will allow u to go back and forth all u need in order to put in an address. I found this is alot easier and alot faster then using that Fakecursor program. All I needed to get the gps to work with TomTom is. 1. Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings 2. TomTom Software w/ Activated Maps ( Yes I bought the Maps) So Everyone your Welcome! for the one that may use this to fix their issues for TomTom on the Moto Q9h (AT&T) Not GPS related, but for the ones that have the MotoQ9h congrads on what I believe is a very wonder and powerful smartphone. Just make sure the first thing u do with it is update it to Win Mobile 6.1. it has some great improvements. GPS works great =] To everyone I may have helped out there that has questions about using TomTom on MotoQ9h. Feel free to ask. I may work on a detailed guide for everyone out there, but do not have the time right this second. Maybe coming later.  Take care everyone and Good Luck :-) Quote:
