I am having problems with my ipaq rw 6815. i can't make gps work. i think it has something to do with a red spot on the upper right corner of screen. i have downloaded Navio, but nothing works. on a2b screen it says: error - no gps fix. please help! i also cannot connect to my computer by usb, but i could when i first downloaded navio and registered my product. active sync doesn't recognize my ipaq

Suppose you have a BT GPS modul??
Some basic steps to make BT GPS running, (its easy):

- turn on BT on both GPS modul and rw6815
- go to Settings / Connections / Bluetooth
- in "Mode" deselect "Make this device discoverable..."
- go to "Devices", select "New Partnership"
- chose the found BT GPS modul and pair it with your pda, you probably will have to enter the device code
- enable "Serial Port" for this device
- go to "COM ports", tap "New Outgoing Port", select the paired GPS and click "Next"
- assign COM port, preferably COM6 and deselect "Secure Connection"
Then start your navigation application and set there appropriate port - COM6. Now it should work fine.

But there could also be some problem with installation in you case. Have you tried to uninstall Navio and connect to PC after a soft reset?
