I am running Windows Mobile on an HCT (O2 Branded Flint) with a built in GPS. The device runs Memory Map and Copilot fine, with both using COM4 at 4800 and a flashing orange light on the front indicates that the GPS is running. I have tried various settings in the Inflight software with two outcomes; 1, the device hangs and needs to be re-booted, or 2, the GPS starts, as noted with the flashing orange light, but no satellites are ever found. This is odd because with the mobile in exactly the same place, Memory Map and Copilot both find satellites and work fine. There must be another setting or is a developmental problem?

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks

Ian

After all that I have just discovered a combination I hadn't tried, COM5, 57600, and it now works.....

Looking forward to trying it out in the air.....

Hi Aviator

How did you find that out, the permutations must be immense? I have the same trouble with my phone. Did you use the Native drive?  what about the check box  (use alternate port access). I am accessing other things so I know the rest is ok, so I assume its some settings  Did you just keep trying different permutations?
