Hi, those of you who are using HTC HD2 with pathaway, is your GPS fix sustainable? Mine keeps disconnecting and then reconnects again and again every 10 - 15 seconds interval.

Is there any other adjustments to be made on the phone for those of you who have successfully used HTC HD2 with pathaway? Thanks.[/b]

Hi, I figured it out, u should select Magellan - NEMA and choose COM 4 instead of "Windows Mobile GPS". Then it should be fine. It might take a while to get a fix though.

Hi, is the solution still working for you? I have the same problem but can't get a fix no matter how long I wait with the setting you suggested. I wonder if other HD2 users are facing the same problem or is it just me.

If you are having a problem connecting your HTC HD2 I would like to send you a diagnostics build to try to track down the problem. Please fill in the contact form at http://pathaway.com/contact.htm to notify me that you will try out this build.

Hi jhinuk, yes, the solution I mentioned in the thread earlier works for me. It is not working for you?

Hi pingth,

I don't think so. You mentioned it may take some time to get a lock, but I waited for a long long time, but I just don't get a lock. I can see that in that mode the software can connect to the GPS module and it is sending strings but that's about it. No lock.

As I said, I'm not sure I'm alone in this. However, as you may have seen, Scott wanted to give a solution. I'll let you know if that worked for me or not. He sounded confident that it will work.

Regards.

Hi jhinuk, sorry to hear that. Yeah, let's hope Scott will be able to help.

Good news. I've been working with jhinuk and now "Windows Mobile GPS" protocol is working reliably.

Build 5.30.11 with this fix in is posted at http://pathaway.com/prerelease5/

Ensure you set your protocol to "Windows Mobile GPS".

Hi

I tested the prerelease version 5.30.11 on my HD2 today and so far as I could see on the short trip I made it now seems to work reliably.
On previous versions I had the problems mentioned above.
Thanks for fixing this problem!
