Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere but I have not found the solution yet, hoping you guys can help. I have Tomtom 6 installed on my device, and it is working beautigully, the only problem is My "home location" is set to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC.
I have tried changing it several times but when I close the app, and open it again it is back to the default settings. All my favourites and POIs I add myself also get deleted. It there any way to fix this?
You might want to purchase the software first.

Try this. Copy your maps folder back to your desktop. Right click on it and make sure "Read-only" is NOT checked. If it is, uncheck it, then copy it back to your SD card.

Currently there is no answer for this. Simply add your location manually and select that for the clock location. I'm doing that and have never had an issue with the fact that "my location" is in the list.
Undoing theCAB
Thanks for the reply. Any idea how to undo the CAB's removal of MY LOCATION from the list witthout a reset? Thanks.

I've never tried to remove it myself, so I can't be sure, but you could just disable and re-enable Sense in the Today settings. That should do the trick.
just wanted to share an experience i have had
i was having the same problem with the "my location" updating since i updated to the 1.6 WWE ROM
what i discovered is, when i go to central london, it works, but when i am in north london it doesnt - now for those that know london, you will recognise the town Camden - well when in central london it picks up place name Camden
i think the problem might be to do with the device being unable to recognise where you are - if i find it i will post the link to a thread i read last night (1:23am lol) that said it was possible to add custom locations to the weather widget and this might very well resolve the errors with getting weather at these locations, but i have made no changes to any settings neither felt the need to remove "my location" and it works fine suddenly

There have been a few threads on this problem - none of them have come up with a full solution as yet, though some 'workarounds' are available.
The situation you describe is typical though. Another poster described exactly the same situation for four different parts of London - 2 working - 2 not!
I did a little bit of analysis and research and I do not think the problem lies (in the main) with the phone not being able to recognise where it is. Most posters say the 'my location' in GoogleMaps works fine!
I think the problem is one of 'translation'. The location code used by GoogleMaps is a different format to the one used to query AccuWeather when you manually select a town/city on the Weather page.
Somewhere along the line, the one has to be 'translated into the other. I THINK (and I stress that deliberately), that this translation works for certain locations and not for others.
If someone actually KNOWS how this translation works (and who 'owns' the 'translation' process), I would be very interested to hear about it.

how do you do this? (add location manually). my 'add location' is greyed out. i'm not using a data plan, but using wi-fi to update the weather.
thanks
update: i figured out what was going on. the app only allows 12 cities. once you're 'full' the 'add location' greys out. and the '+add city' disappears.
Hi guys, I seem to be having a problem after using MITTY. After sucessfully following the guide for MITTY and then re-flashing Stock 1.66 my location is screwed up. I changes from were I am to Linkoping. I never had this problem before using the MITTY procedure.
Any advice guys?
Seg
Firstly, its not a problem with mtty. It is not possible that doing the mtty proceedure can affect something in a rom that is flashed after. You need to look elsewhere for your problem. (I would suggest you haven't activated location services in settings - menu - all settings - system and/or activated 'my location' in the weather tab.)

Cheers for your reply mate, but all the required settings are set correctly. As I said, never had this issue before using MITTY. I'm not saying MITTY has caused it, but rather why is it happening. I have also flashed a cooked rom this evening and same thing with that too.
Just seems strange thats all, and a pain in the arse when it adjusts your time too.
Seg
Heh, yea can see it would be a pain. Since it is adjusting your time too, all i can suggest is you double check the following
settings - menu - all settings - system - regional settings and also location services.
Aslo, check the time/date on your PC, could be that the time is being changed y that.

They are all fine mate. I'll have to keep an eye on it as there is nothing to suggest when it does it.

i searched everywhere and cannot find a solution to the problem. my weather isn't updating and my gmaps isn't locating me either. a couple observations..
1)weather does update when im connected to wifi
2) i tried different methods people used in the forum like - disabling my location, soft reset, plug into activesync, and re enable (doesn't work). i also tried going into settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections> and checking the access point name. (doesn't work). also, using advanced config>gps>turning off gps logging and setting size to 0. (doesn't work)
3) i tried flashing different radios and eventually running a task29 to see if that would fix it. nothing.
im starting to lose hope if ever fixing it. anyone please helpp

OK, i just fixed mine today, it had been showing the weather in the 20 F's and it's up to 80s here in fl. so .... i kept messing with it and I ended up accidentally pressing that little timestamp to the upper righthand corner with the circled arrows. See if that helps?
nope, didnt seem to work. the arrows just spin and spin and nothing ever updates. any other ideas?
how about run your gps and let it detect your gps hardware and also allow it to detect your location?
(if not can you exchange it with a new one and test it out from the store?)
Guys please help this guy out!!

when you say "run your gps", you mean like enable gps in google maps and let it detect? ya i did that and it works fine, with it off, its still supposed to get me a location by the towers or somethin'. with gps on or off, my weather still doesn't update
im running the cell rom and hspl and feel extremely lazy undoing everything just to do an exchange. plus no t-mobile has inventory.... i work there.. so i know lol

Yes, your location and weather won't update until it can find your location via at least aGPS. You're saying that you can open google maps and get a satellite locked position? The next thing to check is that in both your WM GPS settings and your google GPS settings, you have them set to "managed by windows"

Hmmm. What does it show in your device GPS settings (all settings-system-external GPS-"programs" and "access" tabs)? And, also in your location settings (settings tab-location)?
My location [weather] is not updated by GPS. Its updated by cell towers. The only way I know of fixing this problem is to try different radio roms.
yes the com settings match. and Google does locate my position. weather still no update. i would have to agree that it has to do with the radios. anyone know of a radio that works?
I'm on 2.08.50.xxx radio

Yeah I know, but whenever I hard-reset, I don't get my location to update until I go into gmaps and get it to achieve a lock, then my location updates immediately after that.

settings tab > location
make sure that both the aGPS and the Location Service Setting switches are set to "on"
oh ya, thats the first thing i did.
any other ideas? maybe flashing radios?
From "Home" , go to "setting" tap on "location" , MAKE SURE to check the "HTC location service" ON , that how I get my to work.

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine
Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread
I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

Hey everybody,
just got my LG optimus and after playing with all weekend I somehow managed to disable my get directions on bing maps. Its the little arrow you get on bing maps so it gives direction on how to get to your destination. I have looked everywhere anybody got an idea how I can reactivate it again?

If you open Maps you don't have the directions arrow? (the first icon)
yes excatly the I only have 2 Icons not 3 and the get direction is missing

Thats odd, have you tried to change your location in settings?
Yes this very odd and driving me crazy I have searched everywhere on the phone turned off the location turned on the location the only thing have not done yet is reset the phone but I don't really wanna go thru that in the first 2 weeks
yeah after the reset its there again!! But no idea how I lost the icon!!!!!
This issue is caused by changing the region settings of your phone.
