May 8 2008, 12:45 AM EDT Currently the internal GPS is not enabled on this device. You can use an external bluetooth GPS unit though. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 9 2008, 9:05 PM EDT "So does this phone have GPS? Has anyone been able to enable it?"Check in on www.xda-developers.com - we Titan/VX6800/P4000 users have been enjoying the built-in GPS for months, despite the GPS-enabled radio rom only being "officially" released within the last couple months, thanks to some dedicated folks there. There may be similar hope for your phone. I was about two hours from buying an external bluetooth-connected GPS module when I found the hacked ROMs to enable the internal chip. Worth looking into before you drop the coin. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 9 2008, 9:06 PM EDT BTW, it now works the other way, too - I can now connect my Titan to my laptop via Bluetooth and the laptop can make use of the Titan's GPS :) Do you find this valuable? |

There are separate forums for pretty much every HTC model, including the Touch, and I expect that if that phone HAS a GPS-capable chip, someone there has already figured out how to enable it. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.
