Has anyone used the built in GPS
Jan 29 2008, 10:09 AM EST
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone was able to use the internal GPS in the P4000.... I read on the HTC site that sprint and HTC will be launching a ROM update to enable GPS. It would be fantastic to no have to buy a blue tooth unit.

Take care

I have it active on my Telus branded P4000. GPS that is. google xda developers. Use is at your own risk as I have no hand in creating it.
It works very well, too. The rom is available for all Titan based phones (p4000, ppc6800 etc).

I read about lots of people having problems with other stuff not working... has this happened to the folks that upgraded? Do you find this valuable?

There are assorted other issues with these non-standard ROM updates - most notably, I think are weaker signal, more frequent dropping back to 1X, and programs installed to the card not running after a soft reset... I've experienced a bit of the 1X drop now and then, nothing too severe, but had no problem running apps from the card.

Again, check the threads at ppcgeeks.com and xda-developers.com; the latter in particular has threads dedicated to the different versions of the ROM with a lot of active discussion.

I use my internal GPS on my Mogul with Garmin Mobile XT. Very frustrating because every time I launch Garmin XT, it changes my system clock to something like 5 days ago at 7pm. Then I get all of my old appointments pop up and my tracking information is screwed up because of the time..
It's definitely Garmin that's having a problem with the pre release rom.

same thing happens to me but it's only the clock that changes. Well I guess that's what I get for using the keygen to be able to use the maps with my built in gps instead of using the receiver. It's still worth it! I rather not use the receiver and have my 8gb sdhc not the preloaded sd from garmin. Do you find this valuable?
