I watched Google maps on sat. view track me quite accurately across a park.

Having it set to 1.. its about 4 or so feet behind. This was near a wooded area using live search.

HKLM/Software/Motorola/GPS

D-Word="Accuracy"
Default Value="256"

Change this to whatever you like.

I don't think we Q9h users have it my friend. Or perhaps it's a different path. I tried looking but I could not find...

I have a Q9H with WM 6.0 and I think the GPS path is HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\GPIO
Look for the Value = Priority256_GP and the REG_DWORD=128
I will trying changing to lower values, 128, 64, 32, 8, 1, to see if it improves the GPS accuracy or speed

This hack is great. In my Garmin Mobile Xt, it would only get 1 bar in the gps "reception" but after changing it to 2, I now get 4-5 bars for "gps reception"
