GPS Config for BlackJack II and Q9h (and others)
We earlier mentioned the “must-install” app for the BlackJack, the hack to assign GPS to COM4. There was another one for the Q9h (the BlackJack version killed connectivity on my Q9h - beware!), but Paul of MoDaCo has discovered a better solution all around. The solution, a GPS config utility, just like your big brothers on WM Pro devices get:
It turns out that a GPSID configuration utility that exactly mirrors the Pocket PC version is nestling away in the 'Tools' directory of the Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK Refresh! If you're a BlackJack II owner, a Motorola Q9H owner or basically anyone wanting to configure GPS on a Smartphone, then you NEED this utility! - MoDaCo
So it's good news and bad news. Bad news first: “you NEED this utility,” as in “the carriers are still locking down features and/or Windows Mobile has convoluted GPS implementation.” Good news: we can fix it, we have the technology. Go get it!
