Thread: TomTom QuickGPSfix Update Tool

Give FastActivate a try, it can update the quick fix data as well.
Or use an oldie from my collection:

Thanks! Deleted all files out of the \ephem folder, copied across the files to that folder on the SD card and ran the GlobalLocate-QuickGPSFix.exe file. I now have a 'lto.dat' in the \ephem folder, rather than 'packedephemeris.ee' file I had previously. It looked like the exe calls the TomTom server to update the satellite details (am I right in thinking that?).

This prompts me to ask whether it would be worth also running the 'QuickGPSFix-GM.exe' from the QuickGPXFixv3.10 rar file above? Would this just mis-read/mis-report my GPS chipset as it did before? I assume it draws gps info from a different data set so would it add anything?

Cheers - again!
