I just visited ASUS Official Page on FB,and Asus says 'No GPS in North America...N.A has location GPS but not Navigation GPS to clarify'.
What's the diff between 'location GPS' and 'Navigation GPS'
So there is no GPS on board? Am I missing sth...
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#specifications
Sensor:
G-Sensor
Light Sensor
Gyroscope
E-Compass
GPS
Please post a link where it says "No GPS in North America"

You seem to be getting off on a bad foot, let me give you some help. Before posting a new thread, please look and see if there are any other threads (you know, possibly like 10 at this point) discussing the same thing. I'm not saying your input isn't valid, what I'm saying is that it would be much more constructive where it belongs. If you cannot figure out how the search feature works, at least browse the first two pages of threads to see if the topic has been discussed. Thanks, and welcome to xda.

if one installs copilot live 8 with maps. they would have a working navigator, correct?
or tether your phone that has data to the transformer, and use google maps on the transformer for navigation?

thanks. can someone try copilot live 8? I'm curious if it works, and if the UI gets scaled up to the 10" screen.
Someone posted a weird product discription, with no camera or GPS, all the models contain this.

Instead of having to find my current gps manually every time, is there a way to get windows live to automatically determine my gps location when it loads?
Please ask the question in the right section of the forum:

thank you
I figured this was a hack on windows live since the options weren't there.
can a mod just repost this in the right place for me?

Do you have the latest version?
Live Search now uses cell-id to locate you when it starts up, just like Google Maps does. Usually that is close enough to work with. Then if you need precision, you can fire up the GPS radio. The GPS radio eats my battery, I wouldn't want it to come on every time I started Live Search to look up a movie showtime, or to find a phone number.

Ok so cell-id, how does that work? Does it automatically select a location closest to you from a list of pre-specified locations or does it dynamically create the location based off where u arE?
The GPS function works fine if I'm outside but after updating to the latest google maps the triangulation by cell towers isn't. I get, your location within 43000 meters which is the city of Los Angeles, I've tried several different options
1. resetting google maps
2. turning on/off A-GPS using advanced configuration
I'm not sure what else there is to try. Having google maps find my location with 500 meters was still useful while indoors and trying to map directions. Anyone have an idea what's causing this?
Thank you!
I have this problem too. I told Google about it, and it looks like they're working on it.
If you want to chime in on the CDMA issue and let them know it's not just me who it was working for before (they're shocked that a CDMA phone was getting a location w/o GPS) then go *here* and make a post
I'm having the same issue. I just added a reply to your google forum post.

i added a reply to the thread, in the meantime, I found an older version that seems to work, 3.0.0.2
http://www.wm6software.net/navigation-gps/google_maps_v3_0.html
I've attached 3.2.1, that's the last version that it works properly in.
So am looking for a GPS navigation app for my HTC Desire, i know there is a few to choose from: NDrive, CoPilot, Sygic, Navigon, but not sure which to choose, any recommendations?
No Good All is working
This question don't have answer ! All is working ! The question is what map you want?
Mainly looking for maps of Norway and/or Scandinavia.

Do u know any navi app for Japan?
I just use Google Navigation and it's worked perfectly every time I've used it so far. The only feature I'd like that it doesn't have is saving a list of favorite places and being able to manually name them.

You could star some locations. Star = favorite in all Google's services. But I don't see possibility to name them.
Or you could create contacts with addresses - then you will be able to name them. But yeah, this is quite ugly.
A UK Magazine did a review of Nav software recently and said Google Navigation was the best and got you there in the quickest amount of time. Downside was that it requires 3G to work (Not a big deal today really is it?)

I'm using Navigon with the Europe map, mainly for when I cross the borders and roaming is out of the question.
Otherwise, I like Google Navigation.
Google navigation isn't available for Norway yet, so can't use it. Gave Navigon a try, since they have a trial, seems to be rather nice, though only possible to get English voice it seems, would rather have it in Norwegian.

Yeah if you could name your starred locations it would be perfect. Now you just have a huge list of addresses and you don't remember what's what.
It does if you're travelling to overseas, the romaing data charges are still killing people...
Perhaps Mobile Atlas Creator + RMaps / BigPlanet Tracks would be a practical solution.
It allows you to produce an offline map database and load into the SD card.
I'm using navigon which works very well on my x10. The best one in my opinion, and I've tried a few. Sort of similar to igo in wm6.

Anyone figured out yet how to change the distance units in Places? Everything else is in metric, but I get the damn distances Places in ****ing miles.
also where do you put filter on Google map search?
eg how can I limit search
oh wait there is a little icon down the bottom left which shows me the search list page.
and yes I see the distance is in eerr.. miles.. I mean who uses that old system..

And for me everything (latitude, places...) is in miles
Indeed, latitude is in miles as well.
...and google still has yet to update the android maps API. The google map-kit for iPhone is still light years ahead of the android.
It's impossible to write a decent map app that performs anywhere near as well as google maps.
I would like to see my own layers. Pics of my kids doing stuff at parks, skateboarding, etc. That would be pretty cool. Point at the ocean and see my kid do an off the top on a wave from last spring. Hah.
Just a thought.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You can do that now. You just can't get information about individual map tiles, even something as simple as onMapFinishedLoading() doesn't exist. That means your layers will (often) load before the map is loaded, which looks like crap.
Thank you very much.I Like it
Curious. Does it pull xif data from Picasa for the image overlay? You would think that would be pretty easy to pull off. I mean I would subscribe to other folks layers to see what they do, where they go,etc. So, if I follow a skateboarder and he shares his layer I can see what trick he did at places I also skate. Video embed would be even more awesome.

I installed a NAND rom and was great, but it lacks of most of google apps like Gmail and Google Maps...
I have tried searching but could not find a topic to match what I'm after.
Does anyone know of a way to get a satellite views with GPS support for use offline? Ideally I could do with GPX (routes/tracks) file support as well.
As far as I know google earth is only available for android and does not have offline cacheing - I would have to make my phone dual boot as well (I need windows for some things)
I have tried J2ME for google maps but cannot scroll and I don't think can use gpx routes.
To make it clear what I'd like is to view my current position on a satellite map with a route (gpx file) shown on there as well. I need to be able to do this without access to a phone network.
It's a shame I can't just run google earth from my HD2 since that's exactly what I'm after.
Hi mate,
how to run google earth without network access?? this wont work on your pc either.
but maybe this is helpful for you:
i recently discovered that google maps on winmo is capable to display .kmz/kml files. these are google earth exports with e.g. a track.
if you just need to display a small area, load the track in google maps. on next start up your last loaded "picture" is cached and therefore u dont need network access. otherwise if u want to navigate you should get something proper like tt or igo.
edit: this should be your match: http://www.gps-mate.de/de/produkte/GPS-Mate/beschreibung.php (using osm)

I have been trying open mobile maps but cannot find how to get satellite maps on there. I found a 1 year old thread on here about changing the maps.xml file and tried that but either doesn't work or I am missing something. There is an option at add maps with a URL but I don't know if this would work with google satellite maps and I can't find out what the url shoudl be.

This looks promising - a dumb question though can I use version 3.02 for ;pocket pc' or 'smartphone' ? I don't know if the HD2 running windows mobile is classed as either of these things?

NoniGPSPlot for "PocketPC" is running perfectly on my HD2 (and my old Trinity).
Tip: Don't remember to quit it when you don't need it anymore 'cause GPS uses lots of battery power. Tap on the main screen for a few seconds to get to the main menu.
I dont know what you are really searching for...
But I think best solution is navicomputer.com

Do you need a satellite view of the whole world?
Zoom to the interresting place an then adjust the slider how deep (that means how many zoom levels of) the images have to be downloaded.
Mobile Atlas Creator
http://mobac.sourceforge.net/
I've been using NaviComputer 0.96 on my oversea trips. I would download maps (can be satellite maps too) before leaving, add POI and have no problem using if offline while on oversea trips. Best of all, it's free. It can do gpx tracks and log file too.
