[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I though I was clear enough, sorry. The driver is not loading, either because GpsModDriver.dll is not in \windows or your phone does not like the dll.

Order has nothing to do with the com port assigned, it is the sequence on strtup, when the driver loads.

Finally we get to the bottom of it all. Your phone has some exception to the 'ModDriver' BuiltIn key (the only real difference between 1.5 and 1.51). If you are still interested, I can change it to, perhaps, a shorter string.

The fake entries under GPSID are not created by the installer at this time, All newer WinMo has them installed by the system. Currently for WinMo 5 or any CE version, you would have to create the keys manually first. In any case you should be able to use the values I put in the RGU I posted a short while ago, it has COM2 as the gps port. Or if you can run GpsModSetup, change the GPS port in system to 4. I added a .REG file with the required values in it for COM2.

Since you have 1.5 loading, you could also copy the dll from the first post (GpsModDriver.zip) to your \windows folder (rename the existing one first) to effectively upgade to 1.51.

I, too am fully willing to give up on making ModDriver work for your phone.

hello,

I tried it on my LEO with iGO8.3.4, and it´s unusable :(

The map shakes all the time. It shows me front to a crossroad, the back, then front ... Close from other roads it moves me to these other roads ...

I tried with Smooth on or not, but same issue.

Then I tried it on Amigo. Same behaviour. And after a few kilometers it loosed the signal and never caught it back. (An I was in open air)

I´m sad, cause I rally wanted that it works !

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Could you explain clearly in first post how to uninstall it ?

Is the only thing to do is to remove the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver] ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JaCoL_JcL:
use sk tools to remove it :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
and GpsModSetup.lnk, and what else ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] linuxis:
Have the same problem :(

Maybe anybody knows right settings. BTW I used iGO8.3.4

I thing thats because of the magnetic fields. Walking outside works well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Now, Igo says there is no GPS !!!:eek:

@Mach2003

Thx for the ModCom2.reg! Now GpsModDriver runs fine on my device, not a phone, but a pna.

Visitors using Windows CE 5.0 Core devices probably now can feel happy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
More good news, and can you use GpsModSetup now (menu exists)? If not, then try the _2003 version. I have an idea of how to change driver to work when the GPSID keys don't exist.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Could you be more specific; do you have a problem with the compass feature or with the gps position? Did you try to see if it was any better with your default gps driver com port?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matthewngsm:
I also have the problem some users recently raised. I use TomTom 7 on my Omina Pro. For some reason I have to install this ModDriver in order for it to get proper GPS signal, when I have my SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3 installed. (It couldn't detect anything before I installed this driver)

Now I detect the satellite very quickly, but they just keep blinking on and off, and that makes my navigation experience very bad when using my TT7. I am off and on the road, losing signal, re-routing... like once every 5 seconds.

Can anyone point me out the real problem here? Or what can I do in terms of the settings, to make it behaves less bizarre.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I'll capture some raw data on a road trip I have in the morning, and see if there is somthing amiss, however I have been using 1.51 since I posted it, and have not had these erratic readings, and I've had no loss of fix either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nazar78:
Hi Mach2003,

from my last post, I wasn't able to get the logs of neither MapKing nor GPsGate. It's ok I'll just stick to the port loop GPS->GpsMod->GpsGate->MapKing for now.

I've tried your latest 1.51, looks good but unfortunately I think it doesn't support Omnia II I8000's compass, the setup hangs during calibration. But I still can get sat fix with 1.51. Would you be able to support this phone in the future?

Thank you...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Yes, the compass seemed to work. But the GPS position was erratic. From time to time I saw the position was better than with the original port, but this "shaking" map is rendering iGO useless.

And finally, as I was unable to get back the original port, I had to do a hard reset :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JaCoL_JcL:
dude why HR ? WHYYY ?

It posted at first post - USE A SK TOOLS to remove driver! I posted it to! No HR needed! ACH
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
I did it via SK Tools.

BUT, iGO was then not able to see any GPS port !!!! Looks like my COM4: was also gone ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
That's weird, I have done it a million times on my hd2 and igo never had any trouble seeing the original com port. You must have done something awfully wrong I suspect...

omnia - null driver

One question for the Omnia's users:

It's possible a NULL DRIVER? In another words, the driver doesn't do nothing (IN=OUT); however, the omnia's users would be very happy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matthewngsm:
canlloindra I second that :D We don't really need any equation/calculations to make our hardware any better. My Omnia Pro's GPS really worked fine, no lag, good accuracy. Why do you need this anyway? For me, GPS wont work with SPB mobile shell.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
Hi

I am looking for a GPS driver which is allowing to switch between one (or several) bluetooth GPS devices and the internal device.

In case a external GPS bluetooth receiver is connected the driver should use this one (or even better should allow to choose)

Background: In a car it would be quite helpful to use a bluetooth GPS receiver because you can place in a better postion to receive the gps signal.

The advantage of such a driver would be that no manual selection of the gps source would be neccseary, once the different gps sources are defined inside the driver.

For the application it would always only 1 source.

Best regards,

dingolino
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
I did that before, with my Kaiser.

I used Mortscript, at start, it asks which GPS to use, then "correct" sys.txt is applied. Worked fine.

Until now, with my Leo, I didn't see the usage, sensibility off internal gps is really great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] canlloindra:
matthewngsm, I want the driver to Tomtom 7.XXX,....

With GPSMODDRIVER, you don't need anymore FransonGPS, GPSFlex,...You start Tomtom and ready!!!!!! But with Tomtom doesn't LAGs,...,is perfect :D;

other case is SYGIC (LAGS -1s,...) By the way, is there a profile for Sygic?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matthewngsm:
so do u have a working tomtom or not? my tt7 is not working well with this driver... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] canlloindra:
MAtt

"so do u have a working tomtom or not? my tt7 is not working well with this driver..."

You have reason, but you can to try this:

- Select Profile "DRIVING".

- In the section "DRIVING-TOGGLE ENABLE" profile DRIVING: All radiobutton in OFF.

- In the section "SYSTEM": You must put SMOOTH:OFF and SleepTime=100

And voila,...., in Omnia this driver works!!!

But, I must check it!

Greets!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matthewngsm:
i will try that when i m out of clas. but big thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Junoman:
First my thanks to MARCH2003 for this GPS Mod Driver. You innovated this driver in an era where as i900 omnia users had been valnarable for a long.

I have one question for you. I found that to fix GPS will take 15 -20 minutes to after a reset. Can I suppose tjis time as normal after a reset? I am with your latest GPSModDriver151 and device is i900 omnia.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JaCoL_JcL:
use xtra gps. and i have fix on myvomnia on thiscmod like max 3 min after SR so don t worrt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matthewngsm:
Alrite canlloindra now I can get back to you with your method above~ IT IS WORKING! Satellites no longer jumping around with crazy readings. I get a fix pretty much instantly (< 1min even after softreset), and the signal stays without going on and off. I guess disabling everything does the magic :D So again I want to confirm an Omnia Pro B7610 with TomTom7 (latest) and SPB Mobshell is working. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] canlloindra:
MATT,

however there's another parameters (it was an example, that I had to check) ; I think MACH2003 or others could do define Profiles, by example:

- Tomtom - OMNIA : GPSModDriver Null Driver.

- Sygic: GPSModDriverSygic (lags,....).

- OZIExplorer:....

I Think that the tool is great!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yushir:
Excuse me for the not answering earlier. I can't get the .exe to work either, though the cab does install successfully.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] puremind:
I installed the cab on my Leo in order to test the compass function

I had no port error messages.

I opened Garmin Mobile XT and it automatically switched to Com 3 GPSModDriver

I had a quick fix

I tried turning phone around, the map did not move around, direction did not change.

I shut down Garmin, then I ran QueStup, it launched Garmin again

Same results, compass had no impact on direction, the only difference is when I use Com4 GPS in Garmin, it autoswitches to Com3 GPSModeDriver (but then Com3 worked without QueSup).

Is there something else I can try or I have disregarded? Is this the normal compass behaviour for Garmin or did I do something wrong?

When I run GPSModDriverSetup, the directional data upates normally, but Garmin just doesn't seem to use it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Just set in current profile (driving), 0 for Lag, and un-check speed fix and course fix. Driver will pass through raw GPS data.

I have been thinking on this as a way to eliminate the GPSID regies from the driver. When I test this I'll allow room for several GPS devices, then ModDriver will look for valid data "from the top" of the list until it finds data.

ModDriver does not affect fix time one way or the other. Your GPS itself determins fix time, ModDriver just ises the data it provides.

You have given the first report from a Garmin user with compass, that I have seen. You might try and see what happens when you move enough to get speed to display in XT. It could be that XT ignores heading until it sees speed. Also try (tool), settings, map, arrow down, Show Location, at GPS location.

/***********/

I logged my travels today (I was on the road most of the day), and inspected them. Other than the occasional wander from one side of the road to the other, I saw no erratic position all day. So I guess that the erratic position has something to do with the hardware compass or the GPS signal at the time those folks noted the problem.

I'll look again at how the compass could affect position, as it was designed so that it would not do that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] puremind:
I have tested show GPS location and I have tried both "3 dimensional" and "show north".

I couldn't move much due to the snow here, I was only able to move inside the apartment near the windows, enough for the map to refresh once but that was all.

Is there anything I can do to help you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] summoner:
Adding celltower location

Great software!

Can I ask for a new feature? I think adding support for location by celltower (like google maps has) will be very beneficial (for times when I am not outside of course) - it can help position quickly in the beginning / for posting geotagged photos when indoors too..

would this be hard to develop?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] starchildx:
thx for the great work. i installed the gpsdriver on my hd2. the compass calibration don't work, evertime i try, the programm freeze. but i don't need the calibration, i setup my geocaching tool with the neu comport and everything works perfectly.

Nobody wants to explain why it´s not working on HD2 ?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
@ChefChaudart

I've got no problem using it on my HD2! What's your problem? Maybe I can help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
GpsModDriver is a multi open device too, so Adding VirtCom is not required unless you need raw (unmodified) GPS data for other applications too. It already allows many applications to open and use its outbound port.

Just so that others don't get confused, MS GPSID is also multi open, so this whole comment is only for pre WinMo 6.0.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] puremind:
I now tested copilot in addition to Garmin on my Leo. No success with Compass in spite of manual config to Com 3.

Google maps can use the compass natively, so for me this app is not so useful after all.

Is it working with TomTom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Sorry to hear that it doesn't do anything in garmin or copilot. Did you search through the settings to see if you can find anything that might influence the use of the heading info? Like the keep position on road setting in iGO8. Don't know about tomtom, unfortunately not many people report.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ATomCZ:
When I installed gpsModDriver on my HTC HD2 it show same errors, but after restart all work. Only my position on the map shacking. After few days stop working compass. Also original HTC Compass app show still only north. I tried uninstall mod driver, but it show error again, that some parts was not successfully removed and commpass stil doesn't work. I must go back to my SPB Backup before gpsModDriver, now compass work. Do you have somebody similar problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
That's too bad, but I think it has nothing to do with GpsModDriver, from what i know about the way it works, it would be pretty impossible...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laggflor:
Hi, I just want to inform you about some problems I had with this driver:

I am using an Omnia i900 with a custom WM6.5.3. I installed this driver and had big problems after the next soft reset. My Phone couldn't connect and the device was relatively slow. To uninstall it completely I needed to use SKTools.

The performance problems and the phone problems could be a problem on my device only, I have tons of applications running.

But you should probably fix your uninstaller.

Thank you.

Best regards, Florian.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
don´t know, I uninstalled the driver.

I will let someone else to test it before I make another attempt :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] catweazle.nl:
Hai,

I succeeded in installing the driver on my Omnia b7610.

This is the way I succeeded:

1 install the CAB-File on your memory card.

2.Unable Xtra in the GPS menu.

3. Turn your phone off!

4 Turn the phone on again

5 Use Explorer to go to the Cab-file and install.

In this way I got the driver working.

Advantige: GPS Speed Sentry works now (didn't before)

Problem with Cygic:

When folowing a given in route the map showes where you are, but it turns confused if you take an other road the the program is suggesting!.

Also, when just having a map on screen (just to follow where you are), everey turn you make, the screens turns 90 degerees and back and it looks like it can't find where you are for a few seconds (whitch is a few 100 meters if your driving 100 KM)

Same with GPS Sentry, when taking a corner, driving slowly, the speeds jumps to zero and picks up the right speed after 2/3 seconds again).

I did not have the impression that the compass was having any influence, bud maybe I just did not notice.

Laying on the table right now, the compass of GPS sentry does nothing, but I don't know if that information is coming from the Moddriver.

Anyway I'm glad I have it working and now it is time setting up better to get the best results.

Greetz, Cat Weazle
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
Hi,

sounds great that you are thinking in the same direction.

If possible please let me/us know when this feature is on your list, I really would like to try it.

The next thing would be having a "profile switcher" based whether some specific bluetooth units are connected to the phone or not, so it would be quite easy to identify whether you are sitting in your own car or in a rental car.

I mean there are solutions available which are detecting the network cell and switching on/off wireless lan for example but as far as I have seen nobody is checking the connected bluetooth devices and is making action based on that.

Anyhow this is something off topic, it would be really great to heave the mentioned bluetooth gps receiver feature inside this driver!

Best regards

i turned off smooth, and tried to turn on extended the menu, but garmin still has a great lag. i run a mda vario iv (htc touch pro) and garmin xt. Other apps like igo8 and mireo blackedition work ok, with minimum lag. I did all the tweaks, and all of your suggestions, but garmin just wont function properly :-(

any cure?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zex11:
also i have an idea.

the maps and data for the garmin xt are on the 4gb class2 storage card. is it possible that the card data transfer is to slow and that may contribute to the lag? the program itself is on my device, but the maps are on the storage card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] catweazle.nl:
Hallo Mach2003,

I've been testing the Moddriver with my Omnia B7610 today, with Sygic running, but without giving in a destination.

So, just to see where I am.

While driving about 100KM/h, the mark of my car on screen is a bit ahead on reality:

For example, when my car is just before a bridge, the mark has already past it.

One time (driving about 65 KM.h( the mark on screen was already across a roundabout while I was just entering it.

So in this case it is Lucky Luck, but the other way around:

The shadow is faster then....

Slowing down, at the point that I drove 20 KM/H, the map turns on screen and it looks like the device is kind of lost.The carmark is jumping across lanes and streets (depending where you are)

I think at that time the compass is coming in.

I calibrated the compass, driving 100KM/H in a strait line on the highway.

When I started just the compass itself before calibration, it held a stady 172 degrees. The portrait gave 89 but the landscape remained empty.

I saved and the figures remained on screen.

But just now I looked and portrait and landscape are showing zero's

I'm wondering if you have any suggestions how to ajust things to get a better result.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Greetz from Holland, Cat Weazle
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Reduce the value under LagAdvance, it is the number of milli seconds into the future to project your position (try 1000 instead of 2000, then tweek it as required).

Compass calibration does not work at this time, just enter a manual value for your magnetic variation (adjust so that compass reading is the direction you are pointing, landscape and portrait should be very close to the same).

During testing, we could not get reliable compass readings in teh car due to EMI interferance with the compass hardware itself. I'd like to hear if you are getting stable readings in teh car (use GpsModSetup, and look at the heading and dMag values).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr.Sid:
Hi .. you told me to uninstall with SKTools .. but I would have to buy it for that. Is there any other application which can do the same ? Or can I 'uninstall' the software manually ? I'm rather educated software engineer so if you tell me what all have I get rid off, there will be no problem. It is not however the Mach2003 directory, that can be erased with no problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
The windows uninstall works most of the time. Try it just after a soft reset.

The unregistered SKTools will uninstall, as long as you don't have too many other applications installed at the time (6 items in any list).

The Registry HKLM\Device\BuiltIn\ModDriver and HKLM\Software\Mach2003 can be removed. \Windows\GpsModDriver.dll, \Windows\GpsModSetup.exe plus \Mach2003 can be deleted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] catweazle.nl:
Where do I find this? Registry?

The compass gives a stady view when driving (100 kmh).

Even better than when I'm walking.

The Mod driver is in the background then, so..

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adrianmak:
does this driver work on HTC　Ｔｏｕｃｈ　ＨＤ　？
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
Use GpsModSetup LagAdvance in under each profile.

At 100 kph, the heading is most certanly GPS heading. Compass heading is used below Delta Speed (default is 5 kph). What does your heading do below 5 kph in the car? You can set Delta Speed to a higher value (say 300 = 30.0 kph) to see compass readings at a higher speed. Delta Speed is on the profile page too.

Hey, first of all: You did an awesome work, your fix works perfect on my samsung omnia i900 and iGo8.

'though I have some issues with Google Maps: When I try to set up Google Maps to use your driver (Options -> GPS Setting -> Set Manually -> Com2, which is correct and works with iGo8) it just says "GPS Connection Error. I tried every baud rate with no success.

GPS hardware port is com9 with a baud rate of 4800

GPS program port is com4

as I said, mod driver port is com2.

screenshots with my exact settings can be found at www[dot]dropbox[dot]com/gallery/184544/1/GPS_erkl?h=50ea32

I'd be thankful for any advices!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
I don't see anything wrong.

By the way Both COM4 (GPS Program Port) and COM2 (GpsModDriver port) will work with any standard baud rate, don't wate time changing these to try and find the issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] negotiable_me:
So Google Maps should work this way? Do I have any other possibilities, using QueStub in any way for example?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Google Maps works without any problem with gpsmoddriver for me. Don't know what you could try to do, surely a hard reset with a fresh install of gpsmoddriver 1.51 and google maps 3.3.1 would work, but it's a little too much to ask for perhaps...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mach2003:
QueStub won't help Google (I don't think), since it allows the selection of COM2. I have no issue with it working on my Diamond. Do you have the latest version of Google Maps on your device?

Does GM work with COM4? If not, then it will not work with COM2 either.
