Quick GPS

What is Quick GPS? Quick GPS for Pocket PC version 1.00 (build 615.715) from the HTC Corporation is included in the Windows Mobile 6 build for the AT&T Tilt. Quick GPS can speed up the amount of time for determining a users GPS position by downloading the latest satellite information via an Internet Connection (such as GPRS, ActiveSync, etc). Quick GPS is intended for use in conjunction with Telenav but will provide the same experience if a customer is using another GPS Solution.

Using Quick GPS
  1. Go to Start>Programs>Tools>Quick GPS.
    • Download time is the last time updated GPS Satellite information was downloaded to the device.
    • Valid Time indicates how much time is left before another update is needed. Each download is valid for 7 days.
Quick GPS update options
  • To view Quick GPS download options, go to Menu>Options.
You have 3 options:
  • Remind me when the data Expires: This option will prompt the user to manually download an update when the data is expired.
  • Autodownload when data expires (Recommended): Enabling this option ensures that the information is always up to date without intervention from the user.
  • Autodownload when connected to a PC via Activesync: This option requires that the device be connected to the PC and an active session of Activesync. The customer cannot use this option to update Quick GPS while away from their PC.
Troubleshooting: If you have complaints in regards to the amount of time Telenav (or another GPS solution) is taking to find your location,check the status of thelast update.
  1. Go to Start>Programs>Tools>Quick GPS.
  2. Tap on the Download tab for updated GPS satellite information even if the current download has not expired.
  3. Launch Telenav and the time it takes to determine the location should be shortenend.
If you are unable to complete the Download update using GPRS, utilize Desktop Pass-through via Activesync.
  1. Connect device to PC via USB.
  2. Open Activesync and go to File>Connection Settings and ensure that "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is checked.
  3. Disable Proxy on the device by going to Start>Programs>Tools>Proxy Manager>Disable Proxy.
Launch Internet Explorer to verify connectivity.
  1. Go to Start>Programs>Tools>Quick GPS and tap on Download.
  2. Once download is complete, have the user re-enable the Proxy (required for access to Media Net) by going to Start>Programs>Tools>Proxy Manager>Enable Proxy.
If the Quick GPS application will not open/launch:
  1. Perform a Soft Reset by inserting the Stylus into the Reset hole located on the bottom of the device.
  2. If the Quick GPS application still will not open/launch, perform a Hard Reset by going to: Start>Settings>System Tab>Clear Storage.
  3. Enter “1234” into the text box and tap Yes.
  4. If the Quick GPS application still will not open/launch after the Hard Reset/Clear Storage, contact your carrier for a possible Warranty Exchange.

I have an HTC Touch Diamond (UK version, although I'm using it in the US). I upgraded the ROM to 1.93.456.2 WWE (dated 7/10/08). It doesn't have the QuickGPS application preinstalled. Is it possible to download this application? Also, I would appreciate recommendations for GPS/map software.
