Hi
very quick question ... is there a way of getting google maps to work more accurately?
I m a bit fed up with the programme constantly locating me swimming in the Thames.. if thats the best google maps can do, what are the alternatives? does not have to be freeware ..
thanks

Thats because you are being triangled by cellphone signal only
Tap on "use GPS" on the lower menu, and get a towell

It takes a while for the GPS on my x1a to activate...i'm guessing its scanning it for them...but once i get a bunch of them...the gps works perfectly.
Faster GPS
Download the satelite data with QucikGPS and the initial finding of the satelites will be much faster. See this thread ...

hi to all
i wanted to ask, if it is possible to use google maps without the internet on my diamond....
for example : is there any way to load the map of germany on my phone so i can use it without paying for internet
thanks for responses
try smart2go; similar and you can store maps...
can somebody explain me how i get that on my diamond?
i guess it´s for nokia...
new bie question
I am confused. I would like to know whether we can install the google maps on diamond? can we use it just to find our way without connecting to GPS and so on.
I am sorry I don't have so much knowledge.
thanks for your kind reply.
greetings!
sony
I use TrekBuddy for the same purpose. It works nice on the Diamond.
search for smart2go wm6
I use GoogleMaps in Colorado, and it does work with and without GPS. Here in the US, GoogleMaps will use cell towers to triangulate where you are (been off as much as a half mile before), but it is better than nothing if you have no data plan.
no, it is not possible. you need internet to download maps on the fly. gm does have limited memory where you can browse a map (via internet) and it remembers a few frames for when you arent connected

That's called AGPS. Without using GPS and internet connection, the device finds your location. Iphone uses AGPS. I have no idea whether GoogleMap on diamond uses AGPS or not. But it's really annoying that when using GoogleMap without turning data connection on, GoogleMap keeps on popping that it needs some sort of data connection and I need to cancel it constantly.
Guys, anyway to get around this?

if u do have a linux box, give it a try and let us know
i don´t have linus xD

I just started working on GL Maps this past week. It caches maps for 48 hours.
It's still very early beta though, so it probably won't fit what you need for a while.
Hi everyone,
I am from Greece and I am interesting in a program that will be able to download the whole Greek map of Google Maps in my HTC from home.
So, when I go to a mountain that I don't have Internet access I will be able to track my position.
Do you know any program that can do that?
Do you know if I can do something similar using a GPS software?
Thank you
It's way better to use a programm like GPS Tuner with the right map then using Google Maps for that!
Just my 2 Cents
Thank you for your reply animelover.
Do I have to make the maps in GPS Tuner or can I find them?
search for google navigator !

If there's an exsisting Map for the wanted region, why not? But you can also make your own maps by scanning a map of trails!
If you know to use Google, you can search for an app that can make huge GPS-ready maps using Google Earth on your desktop!
Hi all
I'm running a legitimate copy of TTN7 on an HTC Touch Diamond. I'd like to add maps of North America, but the map store does not sell them for my version, only for Navigator 6. The map version available is 6.75. Does anybody know if this map will work OK with TTN7?

Hey GarySN,
sorry, I have no solution for your problem. But maybe you are able to help me ? I've installed tomtom 6.5 but I'm not able to connect to the diamond's internal gps. Any advise ?
Many thanks !

You need to go outside on a fairly sunny day turn on the gps and let it sit on for about 5-10 minutes. First connection always takes a very long time. If thats not the problem, I cant imagine what is, as the connection to the internal gps is automatic.

you might also want to first use Quick GPS. It really helps in getting a fix faster.

Hey guys! first off i wanna say thank you for helping with some problems ive had with my TP2 and providing me with some killer .Cabs!! But i have a question. I am currently running Mobium for GPS and its great but its gonna expire. Is there any crack/keygen for this program or a GPS that i can use that works just as great? I tried aMaze and cant get it to work probably because of my location. It just seems to wanna work for Chicago and im in Central Illinois. Google Maps is laggy as hell and isnt always right on directions. Mobium's turn by turn and the voice says the streets and everything haha but im a broke college student who cant pay for it (just yet. lol). Any tips would be helpful. Also my Weather on my Today screen cant seem to pinpoint my location correctly. I have US Cellular as a provider. Its great when im in Chicago but not here. Also any tips on improving battery life and overall proformance of the phone? Thanks for any info!
first off I wouldnt go around asking for a keygen or a cracked program on this site, pretty bad idea to ask for warez here. as far as free GPS i like google maps and also live search mobile. if you want to improve performance and battery life i suggest getting phm reg editor (free) or total commander (free) and search for TP2 reg edits either here or use the google. happy hunting!
I like tomtom as a GPS app but you will have to purchase maps...
tweaks try ADVANCED CONFIG or BSB TWEAKS
power try LumosWizard for the backlight and WMlonglife for signal
GPS.....looks like you already tried all the free ones, lay down some money for a good program like garmin or tom tom...or if your really good you can dig up a torrent file....(google)
later....

no, only for Set Destination need internet connection.... when you set destination, you can turn off internet connection
is there some other apps that use just gps satelites to position??
Search for Navigon wp7 cracked software.
I am not allowed to post here cracked links so you have to search it on google...
I hope I helped
P.S. Navigon is a full gps navigation application that is working completely offline
All you need to do is download in the start up the maps and then you go offline for ever.
