To enable the AGPS on your XV6800 install this file that will unrestrict the lock placed on the GPS by certain carriers (Cough...verizon) Thanks goes out GC14 over at XDA-Developers for creating this cab.

Valhalla Legends CAB

Next go into your System Settings for "EXTERNAL GPS" and on the Programs tab change "GPS Program Port" to Com4, on the Hardware Tab change COM Port to "NONE" and Baud Rate to "4800". On the Access Tab ensure "Manage GPS" IS checked.

NEXT

Install Franson GPSGate that will allow you to split the GPS into different programs. If you only want to use LiveSearch and/or Google Maps You Dont Need This. If you want to use TomTom 6, 7 or IGuidance you will need to install GPSGate. A free trial can be downloaded at

GPS splitter, simulator and logger. Serial port splitter. - Franson GpsGate

After installing GPSGate go into the setup and choose Input as "WM GPS", then go to Output and choose "(Virtual Com2 / (ALL NMEA)"

Now go to your Location settings and turn it to "Location ON"

Once all that is setup you can open TomTom and set it to Com2, it may take a few seconds. When using a program like TomTom you won't see how many satellites or the strength of the signal because the GPS Coordinates are being relayed not the actual Satellite information, but it works just as good there was not delay for me.

I can use Google Maps and my GPS in my Sprint Mogul, without needing to do all this. i just start up a application called VISUALGPSCE to prime my GPS (need to see the satellites anyway) and my applications start working.
