In the pda:
Settings -> System -> External GPS (It says external but it actually controls the internal gps also) ->
GPS Program Port = 4 (all gps programs must be changed to use this port #)
GPS Hardware port = None (only used if you have a bluetooth gps or serial gps)
Manage GPS Settings Automatically
MUST BE CHECKED (this allows windows mobile to connect to internal gps chip)
In iGo 8:
GPS Settings -> Try Autodetect... if it does not work try:
Port = 4
Baud Rate = 57600
Windows Mobile 5.0 and above uses an intermediate gps driver. When Windows Mobile automatically manages the gps chip (as you should have checked), the gps chip sends the raw nmea satellite data to this intermediate driver via the physical port 4 and then the intermediate driver acts as a gateway and splits the data for all gps programs to access the satellite data. The reason Franson GPSGAte works is because it is doing the exact same thing as the built-in intermediate driver (why use Franson when it is already built in to windows mobile??). So in reality, when iGo is set to port 4, it is actually accessing the intermediate driver via a virtual port 4 (and not the physical port 4) because you set the settings to GPS Program Port 4. This is the correct method because the intermediate driver stores the satellite data in memory. Also, this allows you to connect an infinite amount of gps programs and show a gps signal in each program.
If the settings are not checked to automatically manage your gps settings, then any gps program such as iGo, or google maps or Route 66 will connect to the physical port that the gps chip is connected to and not the intermediate driver. This is the wrong method because every time the gps program connects to gps chip, it must download all the satellite data again taking a very long time. Also, you will only be able to connect one gps program at once.
Makes sense?

Hi crave4speed
Thanks for the explanations and your effords to help me with this subject that has been bothering me,
I did everything you told me, but no go
, however if you read my previous posts you will see that this is exactly what I did. I did all those setting already and because I didn't get a solution I posted my question on the forum.
Your method DOES NOT work and I don't know how else I can run my IGO 8.3.x with my Samsung Mondi apart from using FRANSON.
Currently it's impossible to run the IGO on the Samsung Mondi without the Franson.
Anybody got an idea ?
here are some screenshots of my settings of IGO and internal and extrnal gps settings of Samsung Mondi,
(ok, it's a MDA Compact V, but this really doesn't matter...)
