Gagan asked:”Does that mean we can install Garmin GPS software on Blackjack I607?”

I am not sure if the i607 has integrated GPS; however the i617 does and you should be able to use Garminn Mobile XT maps, after all it’s built for windows mobile. You can most certainly use NavTec maps (Garmin). Once installed, there are no usage charges.

Any good gps software for 6.1?

Go to this site for info on how to install Garmin XT. It has step by step instructions on how to install it. I know it works because I just installed on my 16GB micro SD card. http://www.myblackjack2.com/forum/how_to/topic_99/
You have to follow the steps closely or it will not work. GPS is very accurate, just like a Garmin NUVI. It comes with all the US & Canada maps.

Well I had a better look at my Samsung i617T (Blackjack 2 and it seems to already be unlocked. Under Menu and then options then GPS settings I have a choice to let Windows set it up or manual. Under manual you have those settings anyway.
This is the Australian version.

Hi,
I have a Samsung SGH-I780 (Sim free) mobile. I have installed Google maps, and it tells my location with in 1700 meters. But when i use “Use GPS”, it says “initilizing” and then sometiems it says “no GPS received found” or “GPS could not be connected” can anybody help what should be setting in “external GPS” setting of the phone itself (access port, hardware port, baud rate” and what should be in google maps?
Thanks

I just enabled web use with AT&T for $30 month and downloaded google maps for mobile for free. On the google map menu I pushed “use GPS” and within seconds my location came up. I picked up 6 satellites outside and 4 inside the house and I have a metal roof! Simply amazing! I walked up the road and it shows me moving!

I have a blackjack II. I don’t have internet on my phone. Do I need to have internet to use the GPS? And when I try to d/l the program on the computer. It says “Application Manager can run only when a mobile device is connected”. I did connected my blackjack with the USB cable to the computer but I don’t know why it doesn’t work. Please help. Thanks a lot I appreciate it.

I bought a bjII from the ATT store on the weekend, with a data plan. I didn’t sign up to telenav. I used the internet explorer to go to google, download the mobile version of google maps, went outside into my yard and it found my location within about 2 minutes.

The acid test will be the next time I fly cross country and decide not to bring my garmin with me for the rental car. I’m all in favor of flying with as little as possible these days.
