Does anyone know if it's possible to change a setting for the built-in maps application (I'm talking registry level) in order to get Ordnance Survey maps when zoomed appropriately? If not, does anyone fancy writing an app for OS maps via Bing?
Thanks

I have not found anything on google maps and I wonder how well WindowsLive performs on the Pro and if it allows to do so...
Any ideas / opinions?
You can in google maps, you search for a location and then you can add it to your favorites list.
Can you tell me how... maybe I am blind... I cannot find any favorite list in the menu...
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.
i know this is a great feature but i have a very limited dataplan and would prefer not to download the streetview picture at destination since it seems to use QUITE abit of data (~1mb each time).
anyone know how to disable it?
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.
I can customize maps with both Google Maps and Mapquest, on the desktop, by dragging points. Does anyone know if there's any way to do this on my Note, using any of the following?
1. Android apps (Google Maps, Mapquest or something else?)
2. Desktop website through browser on Android
3. Mobile website through browser on Android
Mapquest offers the option to "click and drag" a point on a route, using their desktop website, but as I can't "click," this isn't terribly useful.
Any ideas?
As a related topic, when I do have a map in the browser and want to copy the URL using the link icon, I can select the link, but the copy/cut/paste options don't pop up.
