Fix GPS lag for HTC Touch Diamond 2

For Builtin GPS:
A. With Advanced config 3.2
1.disable A-GPS2.disable GPS logging3.logfile name must be empty4.old logfile name must be empty5.maximum size of logfile must be 06.delete the files :\windows\GPSLogFile.txt and \windows\GPSLogFileBack.txtWith those changes car usage will be quite perfect


B. Then edit registry with TotalCommanderUnder: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\

•Drivers\GpsOneDevice\PollInterval -> 100 (default is 1000)
•Drivers\InputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
•Drivers\OutputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
•Drivers\SleepOnNoData -> 100 (default is 1000)
•Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize -> 512 (by default not present, you have to create it)With those tweaks pedestrian usage will be much better but not perfect.

Tools that you need to do this:
- Registry Editor such as total commander
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3
- .NET Compact Framework 3.5

For Bluetooth External GPS:
- Download GPSGate 2.6- Run GPS Gate and select the Wizard Button
- Make Sure that Wireless Bluetooth GPS is ticked
- Click on Next Button (>)
- It will search for you Bluetooth GPS, once found click on yes
- Make sure that Share with NMEA Applications is only ticked
- In Windows Mobile Go to System Settings->External GPS
- Under Programs tab, make sure that GPS Program Port is set to None
- Under Hardware tab, make sure that GPS Hardware Port is set to none
- Under Access tab, make sure that Manage GPS Automatically is set

Now to Test It:
- Fire Garmin Mobile XT- Go to Tools (wrench icon)
- Settings->System->Remote GPS
- If you're using internal GPS, select Use GPS Intermediate Driver
- If you're using external bluetooth gps, select COM1: Franson COM1

**NOTE:
This was tested using the following:
- HTC Touch Diamond 2 with Stock ROM WM 6.5
- QStarz BT-818x- Garmin Mobile XT

You must also close GPS Gate and turn-off bluetooth once you're done using it to conserve battery life
