Problem with HTC Footprints

After installing CoPilot (maybe after installing a new version of Googlemaps ?) I have a problem with Footprints, suddenly disappeared from the Footprints menu item "Show on the map" and I have no connection with Googlemaps. What should I set to be able to move to the position on the map again ? Googlemaps is operating normally as a separate application.

navigation in footprints

How to change navigation app in footprints?
There are 2 navigation apps installed (factory) in my HTC HD2 - google maps and Navitel.
If I press navigation button in footprint's photo it calls Navitel and often it can't find the point on the map. Only map of Russia installed. But google maps is much better as it can find any navigation point from photo.
I need to change default navigation program which called from footprints, but can't find how to change.

[REQ] Weather Tab: add current 'My Location'

anyone know how to do this? I live in an area that isnt in the weather database. when I am home I get to see the weather as it gets it from My Location, but when I am not there, I cant find any way to save the current My Location in the main list.
Anyone got any ideas on how to do this? Should be a 'Menu/ Add Current Location' Option
Search weather database editor and you should find an app that lets you edit and add new cities as you like.

There is a special version of weather database editor for the TP2 ( i think it"s the 2.2) You can give it a try.
But some reports says it doesn't work for all TP2 users. You can corrupt your database, so you must backup your database before.
i know about the editing of the weather database, what I am looking for is a simple add on to the menu that allows me to ADD wherever I currently am.
Me TOO!
I am looking for the same thing. How to add 'where I'm at right now' to the list of places I get weather for. It's not in the database. Where is this 2.2 weather database editor? Is it in the registry?
You can add just about any place you want to the weather database using the editor found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141.
It won't add your current location automatically, but it will let you do so manually as long as you know where you are.

How to I find out the Accuweathercode for the city I want to add?
Go to settings and enable the AGPS service.
Enable the Location Service Settings
Enable Location Service
After that, go to the home screen and tap/click on your clock and select "my location".
This will enable the weather to be on "my location" and it will update regularly based on the intervals that you determine.
Hope it helps.

How or where to " Enable Location Service" , is it the same as "Enable the Location Service Settings" ? I cant find "My location" in the cities list.
Thanks for your reply.

ok, I am lost... I loaded the file at the link above and installed it but it claims I need a newer version of microsoft.net compact framework...
the above link will let me add my city to the 'stock" weather tab on the tilt 2 (att) correct?

have you tried installing .NET Compact Framework 3.5? check this out.
check the first forum in applications and themes category.
the link in post #6 will enable you to add your city. But I am looking for some settings that will change the city automatically based on your location. Found that it wont work in CDMA but does work in Tilt2.
Thanks, I got it to work.

Updating Google maps and Opera problems

I installed the latest Google maps over my existing version, but now the map search from the bottom slide menu no longer works. I also installed Opera 10, but did not overwrite the existing version (because its a beta) and the bottom slide menu still launched Opera 9.
I'm guessing I need to edit something, but can't find what, even after a couple of hours on Google.

AFAIK, if you invoke internet using the bottom slide tab (of TF) it defaults to opera 9 because of its setting in the registry. I've tried to change the default browser to Opera10 but encountered several instabilities. You'll have to invoke Opera 10 from the programs menu.
Can you invoke google maps from the programs menu? If you can, then google maps is working fine, regardless of what browser application.
As a workaround I have added Opera 10 as a custom option in the registry for the internet widget (like YouTube), so I can select it from the in internet widget page. Opera 10 is the default browser launched by other programs, but I still can't find a way of launching Opera 10 by touching the "Launch Browser" globe in the internet widget, or from any of the bookmarks in the internet widget.
Google Maps works fine when run from the Program Menu, but the Maps Search widget no longer works.

Try changing this registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\OperaEXEfile.
Edit the contents of <OperaEXEfile> and point to Opera10.exe location. (the default is \windows\operaL.exe)
Thanks!
I didn't have that key in the registry, otherwise I would have already tried it. I added the OperaEXEfile string and it works. Can you have a quick look through your registry and see if there is one for Google maps, please?

Unfortunately, the "Map Search" was not featured in this part of the world. I installed the Google Map application and invoke it via the Programs tab, which automatically brings up the browser. It works equally fine.

GPS Logger

Hi there,
I Have made a small gps logger application for android, hope you like it.
Features:-
Get Latitude, longitude and altitude.
Change there format to Degree, Minutes, or Seconds.
Stop and Start GPS Service.
Add the location with date and name to a list.
Save the list to user defined file.
see the current location in map in both satellite view and map view.
ability to hide any of the parameters.
Get distance between two location form the list.
I have made it for my own use during ecological survey, but hope you might find it useful, so please if possible tell me what else should i add to it.
And yes the back key wont exit the application, implemented it so that accidentally we I don't exit it, Exit the application through exit option in menu.
Download it from my website:-
ww.planetngp.com/p/download.html
Click the GeoInfo Link.
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if there was a way to log the accuracy of the GPS?
What I mean is that although I don't have any use for such an app I am always wondering how well a new Rom/Modem performs. I normally just use GPS test in the car and look at it while I am driving (still safely ).
If this feature is already in there just ignore my comment (and thank you for the app).
K.
