Within GoogleMaps for WM devices, you can set it to use exactly the same triangulation method to find your approximate location.

the closest thing i know of is WIMP (where is my phone) which works great for me.

Sure?
GoogleMaps for WM 2.0.1.28 does not have that option, or it is not working propperly.

Or there aren't close enough masts to your location it works for me near my school but not at home

It works fine for me! It does need a relatively strong signal, and three or more radio masts in range...

TELUS Navigator

My HTC Touch Diamond is suppose to have GPS (as far as i know). It had a link before and a file to download TELUS Navigator. With all my customization and tweaking I seem to have deleted that.
How can I get that back, or maybe a better GPS program for my phone?
Thanks.

If you dont' need turn by turn directions, I use Google maps. It's free and works great on my telus diamond. ALso, it's free, so no monthly charge.

I can't seem to get GPS to work with Google Maps or Live Search, it wants a US address. That makes no sense lol

Did you try a hard reset?

What exactly does a hard reset do? What do I lose?

You need to tell Google to use GPS, otherwise it just triangulates from the phone masts. Click menu then "use GPS". Takes a while to lock onto satelites

gps to laptop

hello everybody this is my first post on this site. I was just wondering is there a program that sends the gps signal to a laptop on the ppc. I have a sprint mogul 6800. Just curious.

it's an excellent gps tool that I use tho its not free but you can try.
In GpsGate you can set the port to your builtin gps for input and set it to output via usb cable/bluetooth/online/ etc.

can u tell me which version of TomTom works ok?
Thx

the one I use is version 7, smart phone edition

I got TomTom installed but i wait for ever to get a satellite lock.
And I never do.How long do i have to wait to get a lock?
What settings are we supposed to set in order for it to work. My HD locks in 2 seconds when sitting next to my Snap.
Also is there a quick GPS app in the Snap?I couldnt find it.
Thx

I use Garmin Mobile XT now, check it out http://www.bupahs.com/2009/10/garmin-mobile-xt-smartphone.html

I just hope i never get your problem with mine. Im getting one in a couple of days. One of the reasons why im upgrading from my dash is so i don't have to use my bluetooth gps.
Wish me luck!
EDIT:
Well I got my phone and I've got the problem. I wait forever and i never get a lock!! What should I do?
EDIT:
Yay it works now . It was pretty obvious to fix it in the end (If it is called fixing) There is a program called quickgps in the startmenu. Press download and it downloads details about the satellite so its easier for the gps to get a lock. I have only walked around testing it and it seems to be working good so far

GPS issues

I am currently using [22 JAN] -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 [A2SD+][GRH78C][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC] on my HD2 but the Rom's thread is chaotic!
Right now it's not working at all, the gps status cannot locate and none of my gps programs (sygic aura etc) can locate.
When i was using the MDJ revolution 2.2 nand rom my gps was working fine and with WM 6.5.
Can someone please guide me step to step how to make my gps work?
Also i'm a bit of a newbie in Android
Thanks in advance.

It works but...
it takes 2-3 min to lock on. I did change the gps.config located in system/etc for the phone to look for satellites in my region (us).

All this and even more has been done a thousand of times. IT DOES NOT WORKS!

No it doesnt locate any satelites even after 5 minutes of waiting. Both gps status and ndrive did not.
My gps.config file contains these info
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Noone can help me ...?

Check the above thread, is the only one providing some more information at the moment.

use this gingerbread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
faster and gps works.. after you have installed the rom.. root your hd2 using z4root
download fasterfix.
set it to your location.
download gps status, wait for it to find gps satellites ( make sure your outside while doing this)
close all apps that are running.
your gps should now work normal

Since you already have FasterFix on board, you should change your NTP_SERVER to gr.pool.ntp.org. This way, the GPS with know you are in Greece to better lock onto the satellites faster. Also like others have said, use GPS Status and Toolbox found in the Market to load the AGPS information to help with GPS lock. Let GPS Status and Toolbox do the first initial lock (about one minute) then after that, GPS signal lock should be within 10-15 seconds. Hope this works for you.

Thanks for the reply but i think your link is wrong. The link above redirects me to the HD2 radio thread. Which gingerbread rom are you referring to?

I did what the first post was saying but still no gps. With winMO 6.5 i had a lock on satelites at 5-10 secs.
I think i'm going to revert back to winMO

For some reason I'm not able to use the GPS with nand releases. I've tried many but no luck at all. Right now I'm on cope's SD one and it is working, maybe you can give it a try.
Cheers.

Thanks... but i've never used Clockwork before.
There is a first time for everything!
Flashing now.

i too have been having gps problem pretty mucj the same with the op. i tried tens of gingbread (including the one mentioned above) and froyo nand builds and went through all steps fasterfix, gps status etc but to no avail. i wondr what the problem is.

Hi pal I had the same problem. I've tried everything and for me just one solution works- Gpsfix from market. Before I start any navigation I switch on Gpsfix. That's it. I'm hoping that was helpful.
