hello.
I have a diamond and i'm wondering if there is a software that i can install in my phone that send constantly the location of the phone to a server
what i want to see is the location of the phone in google maps or something like that... like 007 style
or that some one in a computer can see my location in a map
sorry for my english
So you mean something like Google Latitude?

It's an application you can install on your phone and it uses the GPRS/3G data link to send your location to selected friends. You can choose whether to send to individuals by exact location, general city location or not to send your location at all.
Google Maps for Windows Mobile already shows your exact location if you have a GPRS/3G data link and a GPS enabled phone. It's very James Bond... maybe not as fancy looking, but definitely impressive for showing off.
was promising but
it says
The Latitude iGoogle gadget is not currently available for your location
You can still download Google Maps with Latitude to your phone
so i only can use it in the phone but not the pc
Right, this is how you do it.
Download Google Maps for Windows Mobile from here...

Install that onto your Diamond.
Start > Programs > Google Maps
Click Menu then Latitude.
You need a Google login to make it work.
Click on Add Friends to add someone (using their Google login name).
You can now specify whether to share your location with them at an exact or city level.
Your friend can log into iGoogle with their login on their home PC and see your location on a mini map on screen.

Bit of a strange one, but any one aware of a software application that can do the following / alternatively several applications that can do the following.
I working London here in the UK and often need a map book, sat nav, and a client database to hand.
I have a HTC Touch Cruise/Polaris/XDA Orbit 2, so the Sat Nav is sorted, the map's i currently have a map book, but notice google offer some map software for the phone.
What I don't have is a tool that can sync,
I would like for example (let's use google as we all know it) be able to be sat at my PC, running a local version of google maps, be able to add markers and comments regarding customers, perhaps even go into deeper details that you would expect to find in CRM software and then be able to sync up my phone to my PC.
So does anything like this exist?
Is there other map software other than google maps?
Is there any kind of database software that easily sync's with my PC?
any feedback is greatly appreciated
Is there an APP that will search out a business, store, service, ect. that can accurrately save it to your contacts. I have tried White Pages, Yellow Pages, Tel Nav, Google, and others. I search for the contact, it gives me the correct result, and the option to save the information to my CONTACTS. But when I choose to save it, the information does not go into my contacts correctly, specifically the address. Live Search on my Vogue never gave me a problem.
You say you've tried "Google"--whatever that means. Have your tried the native Google Maps app. It supposed to be able to do this.
Search > Type business Name > Touch the one you want on the map > Add as a contact > Press Save
EDIT: I just tried this and it does exactly what you want. Any/all info aboiut a company gets saved to the correct field, properly formatted into your contacts. just click Save
NOPE .. Tried Google Maps, Google Maps Contacts also. Everytime I choose save as contact, the entire address including city, state, and zip goes into the first line of the address, leaving the city, state, and zip fields blank.
Various Google apps, such as maps, places, and so on have the option to save something found in a search as a contact. That would be great if only it worked.
For example, search for a local restaurant in Places. The result shows all sorts of properly-formatted data, such as name, address, phone number, and web page. When one selects Save as Contact, it does save it after a fashion. The name is all crammed into the First Name field and the address is all in the Street address field (with nothing for City, State, or postal code). The web URL isn't saved to the contact at all.
This makes no sense to me. This is a Google app passing data to another Google app. The data starts out properly-formatted. My Windows phone certainly has no trouble saving a fully-detailed, properly-formatted contact from Google Maps. The same thing, incidentally, happens with other Android apps that offer to save something as a contact, such as Bing (which also saved contacts perfectly on Windows Phone).
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Using Cyanogen mod Rom, I used to be able to share my GPS location in the middle of the lake through Google Maps. I tried to do the same with the HOX but the sharing location option is grayed out. It looks like Waypoints are not integrated into Google maps. Anybody knows how to restore the functionality or if I need an app which app?
Thank you
Not sure exactly what you wanted.
If you want record your location/track history and share it through Google Maps, you can use Google's 'My Track' app.
If you want to share your current location to your friend, sign in to Google Latitude.
when you are in a remote place, Google maps need to use waypoints or coordinates to share your exact location. In the middle of the lake, I was able to click on my GPS location get the coordinates and share them through a text message. It was easy
My tracks or latitude is not what I am looking for.
That must be some kind of Labs add-in for the GMap which is no longer available.
The Laitude reports your coordinates as well periodically. If your friends have Gmaps, it can show your location based on your reported coordinates. But if they have to use anything else, of course it won't work.
Find My Phone app allows you to locate family members or your lost device from any device (Android, Apple, Laptops etc) through WhatsApp
With the app you can create a message trigger that will send back the last location of your lost device back to you through WhatsApp and show you the location on the map (google maps).
First you create a message trigger from the main screen and whenever your lost device will receive that message through WhatsApp it will reply with a url that shows you the location of your lost device in google maps.
It's so simple that you will be amazed!
