How's it hanging xda? So every now and then I check to see if a new version of GMM is available so I can try to post it here first for those of you who gotta have the highest version number or cook it in roms. Not much of a hacking development, just posting for your convenience; so here's a fresh one, version 3.2.1.
Here's a vague changelog of 3.2.* but I think the only noticeable difference between this and 3.2.0 is a better layering manager. And of course the version number, they improved that a notch.

Yeah, if you're referring to Latitude.
Another thing it does that I don't remember 3.2.0 doing (but I could be wrong, maybe it had this) is give traffic for major avenues and cross streets in my city at least. Before it just gave the FDR, the West Side Highway and the bridges and tunnels whereas now you can see what's doing on Broadway, Park Avenue, 57th Street, Malcolm X Boulevard -- not all but most major arteries (I'm in NYC, btw). Very nice. Here, look:

I just flashed TPC which, though otherwise badass, included some Bing application. I begrudgingly tested its maps thing. It's sad and irritating that Microsoft is trying really hard to play copycat (but sucking at it) with Google. Man I hate that company but I've got to admit some of those Bing ads are witty.
Which reminds me, my mom's Linux laptop just arrived, gotta head over and install KDE for her. She's 65, she can barely use the television remote but loves Linux and I love that I don't get nearly as many calls for help as I did when she was using MS. I'll use GMM to see how much crosstown traffic I'm looking at.
Just put all my IRA money into Google, parenthetically.

i don't remember it giving me street traffic in nyc, but it does now
Is there a package of this? I know Google maps is a hard one to convert because there are extra settings that change after it is installed. I don't know if this version is like that or not. I think it requires B-Compare to see all the changes before and after install.
Just wondering.
Google Maps 3.2.1(#17) Update!
Google Maps 3.2.1(#17) Update! (06/10/2009)
Why no update notification
And now v3.3.1.0 is out... Every time I go searching for a new version, I can't help but wonder why Microsoft has a way to check for updates within their Bing mobile app but Google doesn't?
new thread
y'all should go to the new thread for 3.3.1 and other fun.

Paul over at MoDaCo is starting to get some interest in a new application he's developing - basically it involves developers providing some XML with their installer that ties in with some similar XML on the applications' download page on their web server.
When a new version is released, the XML on the download page is updated, "AppToDate" will check the download server and you'll be able to see that a new version is available.......
AstraWare, Developer One and SK-Tools have already expressed an interest in making their software work with "AppToDate".......what are you waiting for!?!?!
I'll stop babbling, this is what Paul posted over at MoDaCo "AppToDate"
I have a dream! OK, so it's not quite as ground breaking as some other dreams of our time, but it's a dream none the less. It goes something like this...
I have a whole bunch of software on my device. Probably 15 apps at least. I also write software, which is downloaded by a fair few people, both commercial and free. I like to ensure that my software on my device is up to date with the latest versions, and it's a right pain in the ****. Not only that, I'd like my end users to have the latest versions installed to get the best possible experience... and to facilitate that I have to write a custom update checker into each of my applications. Fine for big apps, not great for quickly rustled up apps or tweaks.
But there could be another way.

What if you could have an application that lived on the device, that wasn't tied to any one application or vendor, that could check for updates for everything installed on your device? IMHO, that would be awesome. A dream. For such an approach to work, you'd need a few things...
Someone to write the update application, and to develop it. A community project perhaps?
The update application MUST be FREE for end users and developers
The update application MUST be easy for developers to plug in to
The application needs to be used by end users!
Freeware developers need to use the application!
Commercial developers need to use the application!
Now here comes the audience participation part - if you are a user, would you like to see such an application? If you are a developer - either freeware or commercial - would you like - and would you use - such an application? Make your voice heard here, and if there's an appetite for this, let's make it happen! I'll be updating this topic to list developers who would like to be involved.
Oh, I forgot to mention... I've basically written the update application! It's simple, has plenty of scope for future development, can update itself (of course) and in order to be used by a 3rd party, just needs an XML file dropped into the updater directory from your install CAB, and a current version XML on your server!
Beautiful! The response to this topic will determine how much time I spend on getting it production ready

Lend your support to this - with all the updates for various applications flying around, it's an almost impossible task to know if you're running the latest and greatest version - hopefully it will grow into a REALLY useful tool.
Thanks for listening
Mark.
More infos here .
Great news! I'm using igo8 as i think its the best navi for UK. The only small issue was VGA resolution. Maps and letters where ok as the are adaptable to screen res but apps skin itself ... Hope its gonna be downloadable soon.

Nav N GO iGO 8
8.0.0.54000
Sep 1 2008
I really love Igo 08.
- I only have one small question. - I live in Denmark, so almost no 3d buildings. So just to show of, I created a demo route in Berlin/London/Paris, so I could show them this new cool feature (3d building). But 3d buildings dosn't show in demo routes... Do any of you know why? (Or how to make these buildings show?)
Got this version already. Any changelog? as i can't see any major differences. Anyone seen real VGA skin ?
Just tried this out today and say I believe I like it better then tomtom. I especially like the next two turns displayed all the time on the screen. I also like that it displays house/building numbers on the map as well.
Me likes.
No US Maps I see
Do they plan to release US maps, or is this an overseas app only?
In the US, it is called OnCourseNavigator
http://www.oncoursenavigator.com
any gps with 3d maps and buildings for Los Angeles?? iGo stil doesnt have buildings for LA...at least not that i know of...

Thanks

They are on the SD card/DVD you have bought (I don't know in which form the diamond version will be shipped).
Stop asking for warez.
You cannot buy the software without maps!!
TDO
There is a file inside the contents folder called maps with the Basemaps file inside it but i still dont have any maps displaying om my device, I cant enter any addresses or postcodes or anything i just wanted to get another copy of that file to replace the old one with to see if that works or weather ill have to send the whole package back!
Fixed, i found a new maps .dbl (?) file and it works fine now

There were only 11 posts and the first post has a 'more info' link. The information was there, but you decided to post your qu estion anyway. Just wanted to say you should read before you post. (You just said you didn't.)
Please take a look at the link in the first post, because this software is realy worth it. And the linknet skin (ultraskin) you can find on the pdamill forum adds even more functionality!

is an application that warns you for fixed and mobile traffic control spots and radars. It's already used widely in France and Spain. The good thing is that it is cross platform. However, I didn't find any cab for windows mobile yet. I would certainly like to try if it works, before spending e25 on it. Strange thing by the way is, that for Android it costs e10 in the android store.
wikango.com
Currently it looks like Wikango can't be downloaded. If you select the mobile list and select a phone, you will get redirected to the "buy" page instead while it can't be bought at this time. Funny thing.
you're right. They claim though to have thousands of users already!
Since you need a critical mass of users to have accurate information on radar locations, I'm very charmed by the idea of a cross platform solution like this, especially because of the ever increasing amount of smart phones.
Btw, a friend of mine bought it in the android store for e10, and it works great, I've seen it on his HTC Hero. Strangely it's free for iphone in the appstore.
Trapster
Why not try Trapster. It should work on WM
Thanks, that looks like a great tip! I'll be checking that out, see how good it is in my region.
Wikango on Android is a bit of a rip off, as they charge about 10€ for it when the iPhone version is free.
Since they released the first version, there has been no update.
Wikango runs fine on HTC G1 or Hero, but does not work on Droid and Nexus One, although there is no such info on Wikango's web site.
Finally, the devs are not answering to emails.
I have used it a lot on my G1 and, price set appart, I have been quite pleased even if, as I mentionned, there has been no updates and bugs are left uncorrected.
Since I switched to the NExus One, I'm simply unable to use it anymore :-(
Waze
Waze is well worth taking a look at too.
Great! I'll check out Waze too!
I've tried Trapster for some time, and it's not stable enough at the moment on my Topaz. When a phonecall or any other program pops at the front, the Trapster application loses its Google Maps connection, causing you to drive in a blue screen instead of on a map. It's not mature yet on WM and the devs don't respond to my message.
Trapster
Yes, I tried Trapster on my Topaz but found I could not get any display most of the time. Waze seems much better, and copes with occasional loss of data connection (important when your route home is through the countryside!)
Yeah, Waze is stable on my device. And it's fun paving roads!!
New app "(Samsung) High Fidelity Position" available in Marketplace seems to enable GLONASS support for (even better) GPS tracking.

I *really* would have liked to look at THAT XAP file...
Would you be so nice and give us a rough translation of the two options in the screenshot?
Here's an English version:
Unfortunately, I do not have XAP either, it was direct download and install through Marketplace.
I can confirm, I downloaded it from marketplace when i saw this post, but now the app disappeared
there's italian language too

I rebooted my phone yesterday and it's there now , wasn't before
thanks to geronimo_cz, this app did not disapear completely - enjoy this XAP: http://www.uloz.to/10189517/high-fidelity-position-v1-0-0-0-xap
IMO it does nothing - at least nothing significant. No difference in accuracy or speed...
Possible reason was greatly described by user Tomula on czech forum here: http://smartmania.mobilmania.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=25992&p=222286#p222286
He found, that Qualcommu Snapdragon QSD8250 in Omnia does definitely not have GLONASS support, so this app is probably for future devices with new GPS chip. Some sources are mentioned by him:
https://developer.qualcomm.com/discover/chipsets-and-modems/snapdragon
https://www.facebook.com/snapdragon/posts/189045881143225
v1.1: http://hotfile.com/dl/129241773/5affdde/high_fidelity_position_v1.1.0.0.xap.html
I'd love to have been in their office that day.
"Its uploaded now sir, all the Omnia 7 fans will get GLONASS support"
"Excellent."
*5 minutes later*
"TAKE IT DOWN TAKE IT DOWN, WE PUT TOO CHEAP A PART IN THE PHONE!"
Getting our hopes up like that. It's just shameful.
I receved update from marketplace
if glonass probably doesn't work, sure the first option works
They put the XAP to settings with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17376642
I'm curious how the Glonass can work without a firmware update, doesn't it need different hardware/firmware?
Read the thread again - it was already mentioned, Omnia 7 lacks support of GLONASS in its chipset. This tool is probably designed for future device, but the first option (using aditional device sensors) may still work on Omnia 7.
With current firmware and drivers, it probably does not do anything - functional drivers for compass will come with official Mango release.
It's funny how there were some people who noticed "a substantial improvement".
So much for the placebo effect
when i installed it the 1st time i didn't notice big improvements, but after receiving the update i mentioned in my previous post, Bing maps started to point always north as I set in the preferences and the position was more accurate than before.
Here is the new version, 1.2.0.0: http://www.ulozto.cz/10339233/high-fidelity-position-v1-2-0-0-xap
