not too long, but frankly, I dont know the exact time cause I downloaded the torrent and let it do it over night, when I was monitoring before I went to bed it said like 3 or 4 hours…

lol…my ETA keeps switching between 2 and 20 hours…cuz its based on the kb/s that its dowloading at

I really want to get this software to work. I tried twice. after the first time i reset the phone to factory settings. everything worked both times except the damn thing wont find any satellites. when i go to view map it sayes searching for satellites. when i try to go to a destination by punching in the info it works fine until i hit go…. then it says awaiting better gps accuracy. the phone thinks i am in kansas at garmin international headquarters and im in ct!!!! the home page displays a constant 2 out of 5 bars for reception. i noticed that the rear deal garmin gps recievers that my friends have get about the same. when ever i open the software and click veiw map it acts as if i am not moving even if i am on a highway in a car. i tried using good maps and it works but i would rather use this. i followed all the directions to the “T” there is no bluetooth icon on the home screen…. if i click on the bars it says “COM4:COM4:” i had to have done something wrong because i know the gps works. i would just pay for it but im not sure if thats even going to work either. its so close to working….. also i downloaded the full us map on the phones card.

the msi is correct, I did my install on Windows XP, your good to go, follow the steps you should be fine…

Be patient in waiting for reception, your location is a big factor in locating the satellites, make sure your outside with an open sky, let it sit for 3-5 minutes to lock satellites. I find on mine as well if it shows 2 bars you cant get anywhere, you need full bars for it to work properly work which means you must have locked 4 satellites (gps only works when there are 4 locked satellites)…..just be patient

flatoutfab, if your getting past the bluetooth screen in garmin then you've basically have a legit copy of garmin mobile…If you bought it im sure you would be having the same problem… Did you install the Modaco GPS hack???

is your phone aplication unlocked? Im not really sure what would be causing such a glitch?? are there any other programs running when it happens??? Im sure a hard reset would do the trick but thats last resort.

hmm well where exactly did you copy the 2 notepad files to? also try running it without phonealarm….

ohye sorry forgot…hmm pretty weird…well im sure a hard reset will fix the problem not to sure what else to say..

hbcbob3, maybe it was your location I know for fact that my phone works while using the gps, I used my gps to get to a beach about 2 hours away and had calls during that time and reception was fine except for some dead spots (went way out in the country). I had it hooked up to a power source however….but im sure it shouldnt make a difference

Ultimatix, You can always try and install the new Software update from garmin (click here), this is the newest garmin software however with this update you still have to follow the same procedures listed in this guide by just replacing the Garmin Installer with this newer one. It may just fix your problem as it will use the Intermediate drivers for the gps instead of COM4.

Give this a try and let me know how it works.

Also make sure you have Modaco GPS hack installed correctly.
