I use TomTom7 but you also need to use GpsGate as TomTom doesnt pick up the internal GPS on the Omnia.

I think this also may be the case for a lot of other 3rd party GPS apps.

in photos the coordinates are 0 here too, even if I wait the GPS lock (satellite icon goes white instead of gray)

it fills the altitude but the coordinates both are zero

Dear readers,
I got newly a samsung omnia. At first the TomTom software did not work with my mobile but i searched the internet and found some solutions for that. Here I write what I did to fix this problem. To mention it again TomTom6 navigation software is working with my samsung omnia mobile.

The samsung omnia have a Built-in GPS receiver but the problem is that TomTom software doesn't understand the language of this kind of receiver. So to communicate we need for a third party software to transilate the receiving signals to TomTom6.

There are two free and one pay sofwares which help you get the TomTom6 working:

Free: PortSplitter and GPSProxy
Pay: GPSgate


First you install one of them and configure it and then start your TomTom software. It works so simple.

Note: I tried PortSplitter and GPSProxy but i was getting some kind of error telling me to install first some kind of .cab file first. but the GPSgate worked without problem.

Any question? reply me. If know about it i will be happy to help.

Success people

For igo 8. Keep the phone in landscape position and it start up fine. It only works horizontal.

Great software by the way.
