Hi Everyone,
I am trying to use the Geolocation API on Windows Mobile 6 on a Mitac
Mio A701 (with built in GPS).

Unfortunately I cannot get the GPS to give me a position in Gears.
I have tried the example code and it returns my position using cell
info (well I assume that it does, because it has an error of 2670, and
is always a fixed location near where I am).  I have
enableHighAccuracy set to true.

I have copied the example code to my site and get the same problem: a
quick but inaccurate response.
My GPS is set up as per the instructions posted on
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/06/07/620387.aspx
The program port is on COM4 (actual hardware on my device is on
COM2).  GPS Applications can use COM4 succesfully.

I have also tried using gears to access the page offline, so that no
network request is attempted, but this only results in no position
being returned at all, not even a timeout.  I have left it for over 10
minutes, and it does not return.  From the code, it appears as if the
timeout is set to 1 minute to connect and 5 minutes for a fix.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks
Neil
