app that uses GPS to track lost/stolen phone?

I remember reading up here that somebody had installed an app to their X1 that enables GPS so that the position of the phone can be located if its lost or stolen? Whats the name of the app and where can I get it from?

search for rtconfig

I'm trying this app ... http://www.scenepda.com/2009/02/wimp-where-is-my-phone-v135.html
Tell me if it's work for you...

Appears to be good, installed it myself.

or you can just use google map now... it will track your phone wherever you go...

I'm seriously looking at this app because it offers you the chance to nuke the information on the device as well as lock it out and locate it.
If you're REALLY smart, you configure it and cook it into a ROM so that it will even survive a hard reset.

ok thanks for all the help everybody... now i don't know which one to pick lol

there is also MaspWare GuardMobile, with remote commands by sms to lock, get location, soft and hard reset.....

can u tell me which version of TomTom works ok?
Thx

the one I use is version 7, smart phone edition

I got TomTom installed but i wait for ever to get a satellite lock.
And I never do.How long do i have to wait to get a lock?
What settings are we supposed to set in order for it to work. My HD locks in 2 seconds when sitting next to my Snap.
Also is there a quick GPS app in the Snap?I couldnt find it.
Thx

I use Garmin Mobile XT now, check it out http://www.bupahs.com/2009/10/garmin-mobile-xt-smartphone.html

I just hope i never get your problem with mine. Im getting one in a couple of days. One of the reasons why im upgrading from my dash is so i don't have to use my bluetooth gps.
Wish me luck!
EDIT:
Well I got my phone and I've got the problem. I wait forever and i never get a lock!! What should I do?
EDIT:
Yay it works now . It was pretty obvious to fix it in the end (If it is called fixing) There is a program called quickgps in the startmenu. Press download and it downloads details about the satellite so its easier for the gps to get a lock. I have only walked around testing it and it seems to be working good so far

Best GPS app(s) working on HD2....

I am having trouble finding a good working turn by turn gps navigation app (such as tom tom) which also works on the HD2....
any help/ advice ?
Thanks in advance...

TomTom works fine on HD2.

Navigon MN7, Copilot.

what versions ? and what are your radio/rom/ wm version info's, please ?

iGO, Garmin XT...

Tomtom works fine for me too...
*edit* ttn 7.917 at the moment, probably change that to 7.918 once I get the inclination to transfer the files... Radio in my sig...

Igo works fine for me. Sometimes you need to set the GPS device port to 4 before it will pick up the internal GPS hardware.

I use this. It is fantastic.

I've got Navigon MN7 and GF is trialling Copilot8, routing is similar but we both like the MN7 interface better.
Copilot also waits until just after you turn left/right before telling you to "turn left/right shortly" which is a bit confusing.
Copilot is good VFM tho'

are there any free equivalents ?

im trying to find a cracked version of a gps program to run on my hd2. for some reason i never got a copy of it on my hd2, but i suppose its because i got it unsubsidized from asia. anywho, a free equivalent would be nice.

I use and love Waze

Warez is not permitted on XDA in any shape or form, whether requesting or providing

AFAIK there is no free turn-by-turn navigation for WM.

If you do a search on this site you will find a link to the TomTom v916 program for the HD2. The program is free, but you have to buy the maps.
You could always go to the ROM section and flash an official HTC ROM, as this comes with co-pilot. I have no idea how much the maps cost or it is a subscription as I don't use it.

There used to be one, GPS4All, until Nokia screwed them over with map licencing.

Co-Pilot ranges from £26.99 to under £100, dependant on the number of maps you buy.

daanng the maps cost money hahaha. i'll look into it. the programs eat up battery life rather easily too right?

Maybe if we're lucky, Google will port their turn by turn from Android. I wouldn't count on it though.

Yes, anything that involves GPS + leaving your screen on for an extended period of time will use the battery fast. Get a car charger...

Hello everybody. How do you do?

I've just got an Xperia X10 and I've got to say that I find using the keyboard to be a pain.
I hear that this phone can now be rooted. Can someone explain the benefits of doing that at this time? Can I upgrade to 2.1 early?
Finally, I find that they're some apps that I can't find on the market (e.g. RunKeeper, Skype) using the Xperia.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks.

use the search on the forum everything your asking has been covered over and over

Use search and for keyboard use this:

What should I search for?
If I knew that, I wouldn't be asking.

Swype or HTC Keyboard.

Hey, there are a few alternatives to Runkeeper listed here: http://superuser.com/questions/23409/runkeeper-on-android . Also, fring is going to get Skype back as soon as they fix their servers.
Edit: Nimbuzz works too, so I am told.
Android Variations: Check em out!

That's a much better keyboard.
Is there a list of top tips to get the most out of the X10?
Any other ones you'd recommend?

Thanks for that.
I have a friend with a HTC Desire and he was able to find it in the market.
Why can't I find it? Does this relate to version numbers?

GPS - stupid question

Hi everyone
I have the most stupid question.. Is the gps free? Do you have to pay for using it?
I dont wanne teat it for myself

GPS is free. but you have to pay if you want to use, for instance, google maps, because it needs a data connection. so basically, it IS free, but unless you have a (paid) internet connection, it's useless.
One exception: if you got a navigation software with offline maps, you don't need internet and money. but such apps are -really- expensive ;P

I may not advice you but google a full version for free. I am using sygic mobile maps. Try :-D

iGo MyWay 8.4.2+latest maps .do not need connection.

yep GPS is free... i use Maverick and have save google maps titles in it of my city so i could use it for free and anywhere with gps locating my position...
and use sygic for navigation purpose its also a offline app..

Hi, You have mybe a link to download this app? How much is it?
Thanks

maverick is a very cool app, buyware, but its worth
google maps saving in maverick:
be aware of updateing to version 1.95 -> google is deleted!
-> stay at 1.94
Use additonal the older mobac 1.9beta 6 and you can save a lot of maps.
maverick is less a navigation more than a tracking.
You can navigate, by checkinging the maps manually. Its not as comfortable like a real navi.
