ive been reading about assisted GPS usint the phones built in GPS receiver. was wondering what programs are available to make use of it? any ideas?
thanks
prophet = no gps build in!
hmmm
no what i heard was that, every phone has a gps locater in it, this can be used to locate the phone using normal network antenas, there doesnt need to be a specific gps receiver in the phone,
maybe i have been wrongly informed :d
I've just been reading in another post about this kind of software : http://www.navizon.com/

Just wondering... when I go camping far up north, there's no reception on my HTC TyTN. But, using a bluetooth GPS receiver I'm able to navigate with my TOMTOM or Google Maps. Now just wondering... since there's GPS reception, any way to use this GPS reception for phone calls? Somehow? There are GPS phones out there right? So what about making this work?
By GPS, I guess I meant Satellite.
satellite phones use different satellites than GPS units.
so...no.
Any way to connect to phone satellites with bluetooth receivers?
Hi - no you would need a completley separate phone to do this. As far as I remember calls are quite expensive.

Just an FYI. Your GPS receiver can only receive signals from the satellites. It can't send them to the satellite, so no two way communication would be possible even if they used the right satellites.

You probably meant that "it can't send them".
Hi everyone, I just tried my Freedom Input Keychain GPS 2000 bluethooth GPS receiver on my HD, the one with the MTK chipset. I have been using it with my Touch for quite a while. I noticed that when I use the internal GPS on the HD that I was not gettting what Garmin calls a differential lock or WAAS satellites. I was dissapointed to find that I get them with the blue tooth GPS. Has anyone else gotten WAAS with the HD? I flipped back and forward between the two for a while and with few exceptions got a differential lock on the BT but not never with the internal GPS on the HD.
Thanks, dhatw.

Can you turn off AGPS from settings in the phone? I think (I will check as soon as I finish this response) that I have it dissabled via HD Tweak.
Not sure, but you can through HD Tweak
hello
Does anyone know how can i use my HTC T8585 as a external GPS ?
thanks a lot
Just open compass app.
This gives you a digital compass and (as long as GPS is switch on) your lat/long reading.

But how, if I'm not using Google Maps and Internet?
Compass has no button for GPS switch on/off.

Sorry, I assumed you had apps on your phone.
I use GPS Dashboard, a free app that gives all info you could want.

Use Franson GPS Gate
You can use Franson GPS gate and in the settings after it finds your GPS and you hit Yes for Com 4. You have 4 options displayed with check boxes. Make sure you check Share with Active Sync. and connect your HD2 via cable or Bluetooth and see that the active sync is running. Then run GPS mapping app from your laptop and let it search and find it out automatically, otherwise you might need manual input.
I have used it on many long trips in the USA.
Thanks,

anyone got it working to use a Fake GPS App?
I tried using App Ninjas GPS JoyStick but it says I need to enable GPS in settings even if it is enabled.
Is there any workaround?
