Samsung Omnia 2... GPS - the only setttings that work

More about this another day...

But have wasted so much time on trying to get Samsung Omnia II to hook up to GPS today...

Whatever you do, don't change the default settings:

Go to setting --> General Setting --> GPS --> Connection 
GPS program port: com7
GPS hardware port:com9
Baud rate: 4800
Click on done.
Go to XTRA
Enable XTRA Server
Tick "ZWhen connected to PC via ActiveSync
Enable SNTP Server (Only when you have data plan)
Click done.

These settings work!
