In Google Maps you can determine your location with GPS. But on the Samsung Omnia this doesn't work by default. The Omnia has a special version of GPS, called enhanced GPS. This type of positioning is using GSM or GPRS signals to find locations faster.
1. So, first you need to make sure you have an internet connection.
2. Next, you need to set a few settings in Windows Mobile: go to 'settings' / 'control panel', then the tab 'system' and click on 'external GPS'.
In the first tab you need to select COM3
In the second tab (hardware) select COM9 and 4800 as baudrate
In the third tab (access) make sure the box is checked.
Click OK.
3. Then, you select 'Enhanced GPS' in the control panel (settings) and make sure you enable the first option (XTRA), disable the second (Automatic download).
(If things not work at the end you may need to click the button to download XTRA stuff.
Click OK.
4. Start Google Maps (from the programs) and enable the GPS by clicking menu (bottom right) and check the GPS option.
(Under options you may select manual settings for COM port and baudrate, but this is not necessary).
5. It may take a while before your position is determined. But in the end the blue circle should get smaller (meaning that the possible error in location determination becomes lower).
It works best if you take your device outside or close to the window in order to keep visual contact with satellites.
I hope it works!
