Can't get GPS to work on HP iPAQ hw6915

    Can't get GPS to work on my HP iPAQ hw6915. I downloaded my one free map (London was my only choice). But before I buy an Irish map I want to make sure it works. Problem is when I open up the GPS Application it just says searching for GPS device, but never finds one! Is this available in Ireland? Do I need to switch something on, or register at a site? Do you have to have the maps installed first? Any help is appreciated!

    Does it not have a GPS util which shows you have many satellites it can see?

    If you google you will find a number of free utils that will display the status of the gps, hopefully it appears as a standard com port, if it does any of these should work.

    Bear in mind some devices can take 20-30 mins to get a first fix, you also need to do it outdoors with a clear view of the sky

    are you sure the com port and baud rate are set correctly in the satnav app.
