They really did a great job on this.
And why is it so amazing, sir?
3D and compass tracking.
I am nnot seeing the 3d maps at all. Updated, looked in big cities even
No dice..

Here;
With the latest version of Google Maps, you get that very cool 3D tilt feature, plus vector graphics for less tiling (there's still some lag, but it's definitely better), compass mode, improved caching and offline navigation rerouting so that you can still find your way even if you lose your connection.

Closest 3D support for me is Chicago. Works though. KC was showing too. Had to turn my phone off and charge it couldnt look any where else.
edit:
When you have the app open go to help and look under Cities with 3D buildings.

thanks for the heads up
Its definitely nice, 3d will only show on the strip here in vegas, but works fine. Definitely a step up in the right direction.

Ahh, sorry, didn't mean I had to turn my phone off / on to see 3D ... meant it's not supported everywhere / not every "major" city or whatever. Only looked at Chi and KC, before I had to turn my phone off to charge, is what I meant. You can see a list of 3D cities evidently from the help section.
Love the new Google Maps ... this **** is baller.
I cant see 3d maps, i used the 2 finger slide down, it tilts, but cant see the buildings

You have to zoom in more and the buildings will show up.
Dallas, TX has 3D buildings for downtown. They look pretty reasonable to me.
For those that are having issues seeing the 3D. Make sure you turn off Satellite mode.
Nice new improvements!
For people who can't see 3d buildings. Just type in empire state bulding and click search the zoom in.
btw, there's a zoom range in which you can see the buildings in 3d.. you have to get close enough.

Going on hols tomorrow and would like to know if there's a simple little program I can use that I can use on the plane to see where I am while on the plane!
Anyone know of any software that can do this? Don't want anything street level, just a good overview of where the plane is would do perfect!
Cheers.
VisualGPSce will give you altitude, heading and speed.
Personally I'd find this interesting.

I once used my kaiser (with stock 6.0) on a plane and using GPS Speed Sentry, after the speed of of the plane exceeded ~620Km, the phone lost its fix and couldn't get one until the plane landed.
Just a thought.
On my phone the gps attachment only works if radio (i.e. phone bit) is also on. That would mean I would be breaking the airline rules and maybe endangering the flight!
I had my tomtom working on a recent flight back from Malaysia. It was funny to see it trying to lock onto the london roads at 400-500mph as we were flying over towards Heathrow!!
here is a good app that can be v. useful, not sure if the gps will get a fix at those speeds.
http://www.informapusa.com//?fuseaction=product.poe
Tested it out today, counted from when I opened OCN8 and it took exactly 30 seconds to get a fix. Perfectly acceptable if you ask me, especially seeing as I'll only use it for long drives.
great to know man
Thx for sharing

With A-GPS, I don't think you can turn it off.
Only one GPS setting: Enable AGPS: Checkbox.
No, I haven't done any button mapping to the other person who asked.
Is the device as fast as shown in unwired videos?

Yep, 26 seconds for me using Garmin.
And yes, mine is as fast as the videos. Definitely an improvement over the Diamond, despite the Diamond's speed improvements with recent cooked ROM's.
Amazing what a bit of extra RAM will do...
Great, thanks for the info
Since you're using Garmin
I've always found it's notifications to be quite lower than other GPS s/w even when placing an attention tone prior
Is it any louder on the Raph speakers in comparison with Kaiser?

Make sure to download QuickGPS before you use those programs, that may be your issue.

Are you outside or inside some building?
GPS works fine for me in both Google Maps and TomTom Navigator. Indoors is not so great, but whilst in a car it was fine all the way home on a 30 minute journey!
rakdoll said:

I'm in my house, my Kaiser right next to it is working fine.
GPS isn't supposed to work indoors... If you need it indoors, you may also need to be living in a psychiatric ward. :\
I got full signal in front of my house according to OCN8's little GPS status bar, for those who care.
As mentioned earlier, QuickGPS will help (hopefully as it has been useless for me since Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs started to be cooked)
BUT
You need to give it time first to aquire GPS fix alone THEN go back to your PC to download the QuickGPS data
To make sure you have everything afterwards successful,
reboot your PDA and see if you can aquire a faster fix.
You can test with GPSTest attached here.
If it didn't solve your problem, check with other fellow Raph holder their Radio versions and yours.
If you are to flash, do not forget to HardSPL your device.
Good luck and give us more feedback

@fireblade63
I'd say the notification volume in Garmin is about the same as it is in the Kaiser, so I agree - it's certainly not the loudest, but I'm someone who likes the Sat-Nav turned down a bit anyway. I hate having the things shouting at me, especially if there are other people in the car who I'm trying to talk to.
My father-in-law, on the other hand, could never cope with the Garmin / Raphael combination because he turns his TomTom XL up to full volume, which drives me mental on the odd occasion I have to experience it!
So, no, the Raphael is no louder as far as I can tell.
I have seen a demo, of turning your camera on and having an overlay of GPS showing you directions, it does not use the map it uses your camera and arrows show you how to get to a location. It also does this while driving. You see the road thru your camera and it shows where to turn and also arrows. Has anyone else seen this ??? Or even know where to get this app. I would sure love to have it. I seen the video only once and can't find it again. I have searched and searched for this app. Could anyone help in pointing me in the right direction...????

Is it simply just not working atm, or has anyone else got it working??

It can translate some text but it is not detecting anything (Books, DVDs, Barcodes...) as seen in that promovideo with Belfiore (Video).
Btw, it seems this Mango Beta2 is different from the one MS used at Mix11 etc, because some features are missing.
I think Mango is cool but not THAT suuuper big milestone from a customers point of view. As a developer it's a lot better (APIs).
yeah i managed to get it to translate some stuff which is damn impressive!
But boo for not being able to detect anything else yet!
My guess is someone hasn't flicked the switch yet to turn it all on haha, prob still doing work on it!

I'm not having any issues with it not finding a barcode, or looking up specific things. Seem to be working fine for me.
Whether Bing vision is able to find things or lookup anything may be region specific.

Nope, it can't. The only thing about Bing Vision working flawlessly fine is text scanning.
I can't seem to get mine to work AT ALL either!!
Bing Vision for me picks up QR codes really well, but on the limited barcodes I have tried it on it has not found matches.
Sounds like it's very region specific. In the US, it's working flawlessly for me. It picks up bar codes, QR codes, it can even determine movies and music just by looking at the cover (and it's surprisingly accurate). My phone is only picking up about 20% of the text I throw at it, but it's probably because the Trophy doesn't have the best camera.
I live in indonesia and all these are useless hahaha... even local scout gives me nothing.... oh well, at least I can search my contact by company name now which is very important to me
Yep seems to be region specific. From settings /region+language change "Browser & Search Language" to English(United States) and Bing Vision works. If set to English (United Kindom) it does not.
It is working great for me! (USA) I show it a book and it finds it for me. I don't even have to scan the barcode.
Bing Visio
I cant scan any book in germany all other things works^^
Hey my name is Dominik, I´m a 17 year old developer from Germany.
Sansarom is my first game, a 3D tilt marble game.
You have to get the marble to the goal without falling down from the platforms or getting destroyed by over 20 different obstacles. You can controll the marble by tilting your device and jump by touching the screen.
There are 100 different levels in 4 worlds: Ocean - Desert - Artic - Space

The game was being rated very good by CHIP-Online, they say its very hard but makes a lot of fun. ( beste-apps.chip.de/android/app/sansarom-labyrinth-game-fuer-geschickte,com.schoendevelopment.sansaromfree/ )

Looks nice. Two things: shouldn't it be the other way around? I have to turn my phone the other way with every other game I've played.
And, much more important as I think: I would like to play it lying on my sofa, so there should be an option to level gravity. Have the ball not move when the phone is tilted 90 degrees. You see what I mean?

I know this funny problem ... On my Nexus 4 it is right, on the Nexus 10 it is the other way round. On the Galaxy Tab 10.1 it is right again.
I can´t change anything here, because this makes the Unity-GameEngine, sorry.

You could add invert controls in the setting. A turn in one direction will be handled like one in the other direction.
I have seen this in many games and asked myself what this was for.
I think android404 means that the game is turned 180 degrees, and not that he has to turn his phone in the other direction when moving the marble.
The control of the game is the same on all devices, but on some you have to turn your phone 180°, so it would look right.

I am sorry but I have not tried it yet. My phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace) has just 180 MB of internal memory and the app needs to be installed internal before it can be moved to the SD card. That is why I cannot install most new games. 28 MB are too much for me. I am sorry.
Have tried the game for a quick and short session. Seems pretty cool. At times quite challenging. keep up the good work, will give more review later.
Thank you for your feedback!
