How do you get traffic to work in the Copilot trial?
Just wondering if its disabled due to it being a trail or always on the HD2?
Don't want to pay for the software and not get traffic updates working.
All the other (useless, really) copilot live services work such as weather but traffic option is greyed out
none of alk's premium live services are available. still says coming soon on their website
Anyone recommend software that includes traffic and works perfectly on the HD2?

Hi I need some help,
My Tytn is having problem getting google map & traffic data, windows live map & traffic data and TomTom traffic service data; also, hotmail does not load with IE either. I have T-mobile internet service I have no problem go to other web site, yahoo mail and gmail both worked. This problem started about a month ago, I did not have this problem the first two month I had the phone. I pop my sim over to HTC 8125 and google map work as it should. I should mention my Tytn is running WM6 while the 8125 is on WM5. Google map and Tomtom think I don't have data connection and windows live map just show a blank page, does anyone know what the problem is? I talked to T-mobile PDA support with no help at all.
Thanks
hello,
since google maps "my location" does not work on some machines (blueangel for example):
is there an alternative ? another software ?
what about yahoo 2 go, windows live - do they have a gsm/cell-tower-location-feature ?
thank you...
I like the yahoo2go program, especially how it incorporates all of my yahoo mail and such. But I didn't use the maps much on it for some reason.
The street map program I am using is Navizon. I use it with a gps, but it can be used with cell tower triangulation and WiFi triangulation also. It updates my location a lot more frequently and accurately than googlemaps does.
You can get it here.

Good luck
hello,
yahoo2Go does not seem to have something like "myLocation".
i tried navizon also: it couldn't find my location - maybe the have good data for USA, but i doubt for europe.
keep looking for alternatives....
Hi guys!
Already asked in other sub-forum, but no reply there, hopefully more luck here.
Since GPRS and other mobile internet is expense in Belgium, isn't there an application that loads the weather report for the next week, everytime you sync your Touch Dual (or whatever HTC...) to your PC/Laptop. That way, you wouldn't have to use GPRS to get weather reports.
In my case it would drastically lower my gprs cost(since I sync every day!), and still have the eye candy of all those fancy apps you guys made here!
Grtz & thx very much!
in my country gprs is also so expensive..so I need it too..anyone can help us?
try this
1-turn on flight mode
2-sync your phone
3-tap update on weather app you use
Doesn't it work to turn on wifi (if your phone has it) and instead of using GPRS, it loads the data over the wifi? I know I've done this with Google Maps, and many other programs since I don't have a data plan.
Spb Weather does exactly what you want.
In the options you can specify to sync when docked and otherwise to sync only manually.
I'm using it since a while and had no sync through GPRS till now.
Don't know where it is getting it's info from or how, but i have just put Mobile Shell on a Himalaya, XDA II, and put a pay-as-you-go SIM in it with no credit.
Left it for a while after telling the weather bit where i am and lo and behold the weather forecast has updated.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the GPS receiver without any network data usage?
I have disabled the "use data network" option in settings>location but whenever I start an application requiring GPS, the data network icon automatically appears and indicates that data is being sent/received.
I know that Google Maps does require network for downloading maps etc. but the data network is also being activated by CoPilot and GPS Test, hence my assumption that it is the GPS radio that activates it.
Any advice on how to effectively disable network usage by GPS is highly appreciated.
Use APNdroid to disable mobile data completely.

On a similar note:
I would like a program that caches all the maps for the UK to my SD card, so I can use my phone as a SatNav without needing a data connection of any kind. So the phone worked out the route instead of Google servers as well. If you know what I mean.
Does anyone know of such an application?
I think there are a number of "offline" map applications available.
Personally, I have used MapDroyd which by the way is free, but unfortunately doesn't have a directions feature.
brut.all made some modifications on the stock Google Maps to enable offline maps and international navigation. His mod is somewhere in xda-developers (search for his name).

I think all the mapdata from the UK might take up a lot of space on your SD-card
there are offline navigation packages like Navigon for Android or sygic
the have the mapdata compressed into special packages
what I'm looking for is a map manager that can handle my own maps like military maps scanned into JPG images
i once had a program for WM5 http://www.sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=241 that did the trick but cannot find it in android

Google iGo my way, this app turns your legend into gps-navigator. Map of teh whole russia takes about 80 megabytes, so it's not the problem
Your guys don't get it, I too have the same problem, it's not a question of maps but enabling the GPS also enables your data connection for some reason, could be the "assisted" GPS kicking in.
Google Sky Map or just a simple application like GPS Status seems to enable the data connection, even when "Mobile internet" is turned off in the Settings and both applications doesn't require data, at least the first one doesn't.
In Sky Map, having cell tower positioning works fine but as soon as you enable GPS, it turns on the data connection!
My point exactly
No I got the question, and I don't know exactly how to switch off agps. I (and I guess others who have listed offline map application) was actually answering the question in post #3.
I think (haven't tried) once you have rooted you phone, you can change /system/etc/gps.conf and remove all three urls - it might stop the gps from working altogether though.

Recently, Alk Technologies let me know there will never be Active Traffic for the Benelux, due to the lack of dependable data providers (how do the other companies manage, i wonder? .... )
Would it be possible to fabricate Active Traffic files and download them on the phone regularly to get some sort of traffic info & reroute? Anyone with an Active Traffic account willing to dive into the CoPilot folders on their phone to dig up an example of traffic file(s)?
