Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to figure out how to get Google Maps to be the default navigation tool on the Sensation?
It seems that HTC are forcing people to use their own navigation tool.
E.g.:
In the calendar, if you have a location in an event, you click to navigate, and it opens up the HTC app.
There does not seem to be any way of changing it. Has anyone figured this one out?
From HTC themselves:

Thank you for the reply. I have done further research regarding the issue, HTC navigation is the only application which is linked automatically to the Locations. Google Maps is an independant mapping application on the HTC Sensation.

DAMN! Im 110% its not on mine
I dont have any GPS software on my device, that sucks!
Anyway I can get a copy from your device?????
THANKS!
I have a better idea. Why don't you check out this thread chock-full-o applications for the Diamond. Scroll down and you'll find Google Maps and you may find other things that interest you as well. As the Diamond is very similar to the Touch Pro it should work. I got my iGo nav software up and running by reading a thread posted in the Diamond forum. So if you don't find what you're looking for over here, try over there. You may also want to try Windows Live Search. I believe the url is wls.live.com which you can download directly via your s...l...o...w... EDGE connection. Let us know how it works out.

thank you!!!!
i got it on my device but it will not show my location, it says looking for satelite.
tnx again
Also, if you're trying to download from www.google.com/gmm, make sure you use pocket IE. if you go to that website using opera, it identifies itself as a desktop browser and hence you get the error.

If you haven't already then try doing this:
1) Run QuickGPS and download latest satellite data.
2) In Google Maps select Menu->Use GPS.
Be patient the first time, it will take longer than usual to acquire a signal the first time you use it. QuickGPS should help to acquire a signal faster. If you are having trouble then make sure you are outside or close to a window with a direct view of the sky to test it, but it will probably work in the interior of your home too.
Ok so I used Internet Explorer as suggested on the board and was able to load it with no problem.
Thanks again and hope this post helps someone else.
Hi,
Quick question and I am sure the answer is simple too, I have a HTC HD2 and are using the Google maps but cannot find out how to change the view from North up to direction up! any ideas?
In the good ol' days of my WinMO HD2, a small app was created by a helpful XDA-er to make it possible to add locations (such as mine) that apparently 'don't exist' when trying to add them to the stock weather widget. I seem to be having the same problem with my new Sensation - apparently 'Kettering' in the UK doesn't exist. The weather app finds it when I'm *in* Ketteirng by using GPS, but I can't seem to add it as a location when I'm elsewhere
Anyone know if there's an app, or a fix, that will allow me to add my home town?>
Thanks guys
I think it requires root to edit the database
Think I'll bump this, seeing as we now have root!
I'd love to add other places too...any solutions anyone?

Thanks for the links.
Actually my phone isn't rooted - so I guess I'm stuck until I've done this
Hi all,
good to be a part of this great forum!
i recently bought an HTC Wildfire S loaded with android v2.3 (gingerbread). my only issue here is that i am unable to start the GpsSetup2 app which allows one to configure the gps settings in much detail as is the case with Samsung galaxy series.
also i have noticed that gpssetup2 does not work on any htc android phone which i came across.
can someone pls help me find out whats happening here? is there some other code for the HTCs or is it deliberately blocked by htc guys just to prevent fiddling...
ps: i couldnt even find it using the ANYCUT app.
kindly reply ASAP.
Thanks
bump...anyone?
Hi
I would like to create an application for Windows Phone 7 which posts my location on facebook.
I made it so that it posts a bingmaps location. Though today I have read that there is Facebook Check-in for this, though I couldn't find a tutorial or whatsoever related to this.
Only this:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/checkin/
but this doesn't help at all...
Does somebody know a way to implement this?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
