Just like the captivate you have to start Google maps 1st restart the phone and open navigator ...see if that works it worked for me ...if not then press the back button when the navigation says "searching"

Make sure that you have the latest version of Maps from the Market. That's usually the culprit.
If you have a case on the phone, it may be blocking the GPS signal.
What worked for me....
I had to download Bing, it got a lock right away, then closed it and google maps has worked ever since.
had the same issue on my Tilt 2

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC Touch Pro since october 2008 but are still unable to use the gps with google maps.
Google maps is preinstalled on my device but can never use the gps to locate my position.
Now I heart something about unlocking your gps of you htc touch pro before you can use your gps in google maps.
This is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490400
I don't know if this is suitable for my HTC Touch Pro too.
I hope somone can help me.
Thanks a lot!

what rom are you running right now? Assuming you're using a GSM phone, I doubt verizon's method would work for you. Try flashing a new rom.
Rom version: 5.05.404.1 NLD
There is no newer rom version.
I bought my HTC Touch Pro without a carrier, so my HTC Touch Pro is unlocked.
But I can't use my GPS with applications as Google Maps as long as my GPS is locked.
But I don't know if I can use the fix which is discribed in the link I placed.
In GoogleMaps: Menu > Use satellite...
and wait for a fix... (could last up to 4-5mn depending on reception conditions)
But before, check in GoogleMaps options that you have let Windows to handle (integrated) GPS.
Yea it sounds ass backwards, but what he said is true. If your turning it on hitting gps and you get nothing,, thats about right. Wait a bit and see what happens. I use my phone for geocaching almost daily, and am running the stock att rom. My gps works perfectly besides the fact that it takes around 30 secs to lock. However trying to run (most) third party apps WITHOUT googlemaps running first. It will just sit there all day and never get gps. (depends what program were talking about but most will never get lock until google maps is running)
what radio are you on?
Also, I had a terrible time getting a GPS lock with Google Maps on my unbranded Touch Pro.
Recently I downloaded the latest version from www.google.co.up/gmm (think that's right enter it into your Opera browser) and it has improved tremendously. No GPS locks a lot faster - less than 30 seconds, whilst previously it would take minutes or not at all.
Try downloading a newer version and see how that helps.
Thanks!
All of you!
I download a new version of Google Maps and installed it.
After that I set all the properties the same as I had under Start>Settings>System>GPS.
And after about 20 seconds I had a fix and it worked.
(and this was in house)
Now just at the street I get a fix in about 5 seconds and I have a log of zero until one.
So thanks all!
Has anyone tried out the new GMAPS 4.0 on their device? Has anyone got it to work when using GPS? I installed it and everytime I click on Use GPS it crashes the application. This use to happen to my old I910 with version 3.32 and not sure why.

Version 4.0 works perfect on mine and I get a quick lock on GPS. Maybe you should try reloading it.
i get a gps satellite lock inside in under thirty seconds with 4.0
I had this same issue as well. I had to revert back to v3.2.1 to use the app.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times and the same result. I also reverted back to an older version.
wow, I just got my i-920 omnia2 about 4 weeks ago and it was about 3 weeks ago I downloaded and installed google maps. it is version 3.3.0. when did they come out with version 4? the one I have works fine. takes a while to acquire satellites. I just tried out that latitude yesterday. very cool thing, but it didn't work. but the phone that I was "tracking" had latidute running then "exit". it asks if you want to still send location info and yes was selected. per google, when in this mode it sends signal based on cell tower info--does this to preserve battery life since if the gps were on constantly and sending signal if would drain it. cell tower info not as accurate. but it didn't work at all. showed essentially no movement. was going to try to leave google maps open and thus sending gps info to see if it worked that way.
oh, to original poster--didn't the i910 have gps locked so you couldn't use it except for verizon stuff?

The GPS on the I910 was unlocked. I used IGO8 as well as GOOGLE MAPS and BING.
GPS
I have the i920 and have installed the google4 with no problems. The gps was locked within one minute, didn't time it but was within 10 meters.
Just installed Google Maps 4.0 yesterday -- works AWESOME on my i920, gps lock within 30 seconds when outside. Unfortunately still no navigation like they have on the newer android devices (grr, google bastadz!) but it most certainly does not crash.
What ROM are you using, and did you uninstall the older version manually before installing the new one? Also try using SKTools' uninstaller -- that will also scan for left behind registry keys \ temp\cache files and remove them.
Well I installed the newest version which is 4.1 with the voice command and it works great.
Working great
I would make sure you have the version available for the windows 6.5. Other than that I can't think of anything that would cause this problem besides the fact you don't have the GPS turned on for both the phone and the program.
Hi hope some one can giveme some help bought a second hand htc desire s which has been rooted and ICS been loaded onto it everything seems to work ok apaert from the gps when i tick the box in settings to turn the gps on but when i try to get a gps fix in my mapping software (Viewrwnger maps) it tells me that the gps is not connected it also does not work in google maps, any help would be most greatful thanks for your time.

If it has a custom ROM on it that is probably your problem.
Most, if not all custom ROMs have their GPS set to USA.
Download FasterFix and use that to set your servers to the correct region.

Hello,
I am an old waze members and I use it everyday. I have noticed that the Android version not exactly the same as the iOS version
First, I don't know why but it look like a 1FPS, the position refresh only once per seconde instead of following the way naturally...
And then, sometime when I put an andress I just see the Loading... And I wait for more than 120sec and nothing happen... (My 3G is OK and my GPS is OK, I know because when this happen, I use Google Map Navigation and ti works)...
Works OK on mine I use it daily .
Might be better to all ask @Waze on twitter or post on www.waze.com/forum

Gps sucks on this device. Had to reboot to make it find my location and work. Old samsung issue though. Remember it since note 3 times.

So why with google map it's very smoothie..?
Maybe it is the Waze software? My GPS works great.
No one is using waze here ?
Does navigation works well w/o Compass feature?
Will it works well while drive ? Turn by turn navigation ?
Well it will work fine for turn by turn using GPS, as long as you have the location setting ended.

It has a compass doesn't it?
It doesn't have a gyroscope, not the same thing as a compass. I got my device on Friday and I haven't missed it, navigation works just fine.

I just tested skymaps and it worked fine. I tested by pointing at Polaris, and it showed correctly on skymaps.
Yes, there is definitely a compass. I have an app with a compass and the compass works perfectly.
