gps

hi guys i'm staying in singapore
i just want to know my phone ( htc diomand ) come wt quick gps
where i can get the maps for this phone

It should come with Quick GPS. If you can't find it, you can download it off "Sharing What I Use" in my signature.
You'll have to buy the maps for the device according to which program you use.

mapking if you want to buy, or if you're not a frequent user, you can use the googlemaps, you have to pay for the gprs used in downloading the maps though.

2 GPS programmes on one PDA

Hi
I've got an HTC Touch Cruise. Anyone know if I can install two GPS programmes on one PDA?
Would appreciate your input.
Thanks
Brian

Yeah, no problem. You can install them fine.
On some PDAs (Kaiser I think) you can even use them both at the same time polling the same information from the GPS antenna. Other PDAs can't do this without a separate bit of software, can't recall what it's called, but this'll bump you back up to the top and one of the helpful chaps here will contribute.

Thanks Mustang for your input. So there's no problem with special configuring: I don't want to use them together?

shouldn't have a problem. i was based in thailand and i was using powermaps. i then transfered to melbourne where i now use tomtom7. i also had my mapking 7 software installed as i was using maps for malaysia.
so to answer your question, it shouldn'd be a problem.
cheers

If you're not using them at the same time then there is no reason for a problem. You'll need to configure each app to look at the correct com port and baud rate etc if they don't auto detect, but I use Navigon 6, Google Maps, MS Live, and a couple of other GPS apps (dashboards and things) and they all sit quite happily.

GPS Problems out of the box?

Whats up guys
Just got my hands on a new touch pro, after having the titan and its a great upgrade!
However, neither sprint telenav or google maps want to get a gps fix out of the box. I can't find a settings option for GPS, only external GPS devices.
Whats going on? Is this a problem with the touch pro? Am I going to be forced to flash ROMs just to make navi work? Or should I go to the store and grab a new one?
Thanks guys
Joe
BTW: ROM v. 1.03.651.4

you tried updating the "quickgps" in PROGRAM? Mine too (xperia) wasnt getting any fix, till i update the QuickGps prog.
If this is missing, which i doubt, am sure you can get a cab in this forum. Install and update. Hopefully should work.
if still prob, get it changed

Im sorry, i dont know where i find it.. Its a few days ago...

Thanx Petulinek
Trying aswell...

Tomtom doesn't give any Resolution errors, so it should work for any resolution, but the Tomtom Version Tomtom 7.910
Tomtom 7.910 needs v 8.XXX maps, but you should be careful some map versions are only for PNAs ... You you should download the maps compatible with PDA or PDA&PNA
Tomtom is the best for Europe, but I do not like its simplicity, I like iGO 8.3.X Maps are updated monthly
Tomtom can not identify your device's com ports as well, for example, it may find your internal gps as a bluetooth gps, or viceversa.. So you should search for any kind of gps device in settings of tomtom in case if it does not recognize automatically

Its not true...
QVGA TT doesnt work on VGA or WVGA.
Maps are update continualy via map share.
TT identify COM ports without problems on all HTC devices or zou can set port manually.

any lag on tomtom?
On the videos looks like tomtom have a lag of 20 30 meters, and trying myself igo and copilot doesnt have lag at all, so, why use tomtom?

Guys here you'll find all latest TT. For sure on HD2 you should use VGA version:

I love TomTom and I use it since version 4, but on HD2 it's not so cool....

I shared QVGA version of 7.910 on one web site, but before sharing I tried it on Htc HD, Htc Diamond, Htc Diamond 2, Htc TyTN II. So these resolutions are, QVGA, VGA, WVGA.
TT sometimes identify your Internal GPS as a bluetooth GPS, I say this information if some can not find their internal GPS, aim is to help to solve issues not to say bad things about TT.
If you have licensed version you may find correct maps, but ones that do not have should be careful to download maps that are compatible with PDA.
Regards.

Anyone has the same problem?
I've tried TT 7.910, 7.915 and 7.916, but all have a refresh lag.. So normally the screen (your position) is updated every second, but at my HD2 it updates in 5 or 7 seconds!
I've tried the internal GPS as wel the COM4 and 9600 baud GPS...
Google Maps works perfect (as far as I can see).
Don't know what to do about it.
Anyone?

Xmoo, The TomTom application works indeed but as soon as it starts it says it can't find any maps and then tries to make an internet connection in order to download maps at www.htc-citymaps but it then results in an error as the webpage doesn't exist.
How do you get TomTom to work with the maps and speech ?
Note: the installation CAB was 9 MB's hardly enough to conatin a full working navigation tool so it's clear that i'm missing data.

TT Maps n voices
black vga cab is 13.3MB - no voices, no maps no htc-citymaps - no joy....
Any help...anyone?

free navitation?

Hi, i started posting this in another forum here on xda but i guess it will be better to post it here.
I am looking for a free gps-system to my HCT HD2, and by free i also mean offline!!
If anybody knows a way to reset the trial on CoPilot that would be fine too, but i'm not going to do a hard reset...
I have looked in the post with all the apps for HD2 under GPS but i cant find a free navigation system. I have tried the NavyComputer and i love the way it works, but theres no GPS inbuild (unless you record a road and then play it).
Thx Qwak

I have one, I have all the updates I need and also the location where my frends are ( the cops )

i know i might just should buy one but i know that if i buy the copilot v8, in a month there will be a CoPilot v9, so im really just looking for some freeware...
I know that i can keep saying that there will come something new out all the time and therefore i should not buy anything but i just dont need a GPS that much.. its most for fun...

Use google because there's too many apps to post. Some work in the way that you download the maps off google maps and it uses it's program to navigate through them. Just search and you'll find it. Only thing is, you get what you pay for. Some work great in some areas, but others report problems in others.

well..
I did a google search before posting but it came up with alot of programs that used the 3g-network to get the positions witch is not free, nor very precise!! Neigher of the programs had a navigations-system inbuild so it was just to see where you were and maybe record a road...
I was just hoping that someone had tried a good one and would share that with us...
Or mayeb if someone had a list of available gps-programs so i could test them myself...
Thx Qwak

such I already mentioned before, thair are two difrent gps cistems thay who worked on a stand alone based, I will mean thay have there maps on your sd and don't beet a 3g connection thay works
ore the sistems like Google maps, it is free but it needs 3g and I don't see it like a gps but more like a plan who says where you are.
by the way I don't know about withc software application you was talking about but with my full lecence I have access on evry update fore a year! and if I will next yer also have the new updates it caust me only 35$!? so I don't think a really software is so expensive!
certainly not if you can bay you a htc hd2, bay a gps license will also work!?
and if you are looking fore cracks; you lost your time here! the ruels are clear here.

Don't use google maps, use Bing maps since it has actual navigation.
I prefer it over google maps, for now.

Bing is great. you can find it in Marketplace.

thx
Thx for the bing app, its surely better than googlemaps, although its on english... anybody knows if theres a danish pack for it?

I incidently re-newed my Copilot Live 8 trial by simply removing the licp8.dat file from the windows folder! Good luck!

I have OnStar and compared it to Bing. Bing seems (MHO) a lot better than OnStar.
1. Cost is free with Bing compare to OnStar $ per year.
2. Can set up route prior to getting into car.
3. If I deviate from route, Bing immediately does a re-route without asking.
4. Bing notifies you of turns 1/2 mile, 1,000 Feet.
5. When you are close to destination, Bing tells you whether it is on the Right or Left side of road.
Again, just my opinion, any comments?

Cheers
Hi, I just wanted to say Thank you to Megarock. Removing the icp8.dat file gave me another 15 day trial to play with. Brill

omg, IT WORKS
Thanx soo much Megarock, now i have free copilot forever!!
Though, you have to set it up again every time, but i found a way around that:
1. Delete the licp8.dat form the windows folder.
2. Open copilot and set up a new account and all the other stuff
3. backup the new licp8.dat to your memory card
4. when the trial expires just delete the licp.dat and copy the other one to your windows-folder.
(the one you copy to the windows folder is the backup you made 15 days ago, just after finishing the setup)
Hoped it helped someone
Thx again, Qwak
