Registry Editor / Registry Editor via ActiveSync
Notes: Smartphone must be app-unlocked to run third-party applications like the registry editor found above. If the registry keys and values don't exist, create them. Double-check the key and values, especially the colon at the end of the CommPort string. Make no mistake!
Restart the Smartphone following registry edits.
Alternative: Run the .cab file attached below. (Only for COM6 as shown above. Feel free to change the CommPort string to reflect your preferred COM port number if it's not COM6.) Run at your own risk!
Alternative 2: Microsoft GPSID is utility that lets you configure your Smartphone's GPS Intermediary Driver (GPSID).
"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!"
