Hi Guys,
Thanks for lots of things on the website, I just got my mogul 2 days back and I am installing lots of app. One thing I really wanted was free GPS app. Now I liked msn live better then Google, specially as it was giving ding sound before turn. But I still wanted audibles. So, I downloaded nav4all. But it was pain in the xxx as it will only work some time. Even I kept google maps running in the back so it can lock but when I start nav4all app it will not lock. It only worked 2 times for 10 minutes.
So finally found following app and it worked like champ. I will give outdoor try tomorrow bit it was easy to install, good clear sound. Lots of setting and 2 different option to save bandwidth. I did not have to do anything to even lock on the satellite. It just worked. I tried some entering address and all that stuff and it worked great. I will let you all know more tomorrow after some test. Give it a shot as it is free.

how did you get this to work i get an apply screen. i will look deeper into this im also using the mogul. thanks for exposing this app though
same
ive got the same screen
Did y'all follow instructions and write down the username and password they put up on the download page for Windows Mobile?
Apply Screen
Make sure to write down your user name & password, record it from the site download screen.
Pretty cool
Very cool, and it's free, but mine says it's Alpha version, and it looks like it does not have all the features it claims to have for other mobile devices. Also, for some reason, it does not show areal view (I am in Florida, USA). But I like the idead of hearing voice directions. I'll let you know later when I am on the road.

Hi Guys, I tried it today going to work and it worked really really good. I think UI is better then my Magellan. It shows POI's nearby and text is really clear. Route calculation was really quick. I am pretty much impressed. Now one problem is if you zoom fully and driving on the highway, it sometimes lags on refresh but if you are one level less zoom it works good. Man this is too good to be true but it works and the voice pretty loud. As this is just alpha version I think they should be able to improve it more.
This is too good to be true
I know it's alpha, but I have a few issues:
- US Maps are old - didn't have my area which is over four years old.
- Keep having to enter username/password each time I start - no way I'm going to remember that every time.
- doesn't remember settings (imperial vs. metric, etc.)
Anyone else having these issues?
Installed, ran...unimpressed
I don't really see the point for this app in the U.S. I don't know how LiveSearch and Google maps work in other countries....but this app gave zero new features...in fact, the aforementioned worked better.
In my humble opinion, US buyers, move on.

I don't know why you say that, it is not like you are paying anything for the app. It is free, gives you voice prompt. If you are like me who has unlimited data, you don't worry about updating maps as they will be always updated and it just works.
Also it has an no satellite option which will just give you direction arrows and voice prompt in which it will download map for the whole route so, even if you are going to the place where there is no data service available you will still able to navigate as long as you are on the course and as I said it worked much better then I expected.

No, I have to enter username only once and also I don't have to enter setting again. Seems like you have some write permission issue as it just to storing some values to say, don't need to enter password and other setting. I also have my favorites saved. I use it on HTC Mogul.
Just d\l it an looks good. Demo plotted course well but no audio. Tried WM5 and WM6 and sound is greyed out on the options menu. Anyone getting turn by turn audio?

I am getting turn by turn audio. I did not have to make any changes for that.
I tried this app about a week or so ago and it didn't work on my Mogul -- I just tried it again (downloaded the "now available" WM6 version) and it indeed works... Map coverage in my area is a bit weak, but I'm going to give the app a workout and see how it goes...
The price is right...
I tried this on my Mogul yesterday and it drove me absolutely insane! The maps for my area is seriously outdated and the navigation on the map is painfully annoying. Love the "Turn left at next intersection" voice though. Microsoft's Live Search is still my "free" GPS program of choice.

Thanks for the info. I only tried it in the demo mode and I'll take it on the road tomorrow to check it out. I may be one of the only ones, but I love Nav4All, also free, and doesn't need an active internet connection after the course is plotted so I figure I'll play around with this one over the weekend...
Good stuff considering it's free...but i prefer the tomtom over this any day! but then again in the free category this beats google and live only because it gives you turn by turn directions! In googlemaps u take the wrong turn, the course stays plotted but your blue dot goes awry! GoogleMaps doesn't even warn you that you've gone the wrong way!
need help
when i go to the menu map center on gps. all i keeps on saying is No Sattelites.
is there a way to turn on my gps on my Titan

Do you have a Radio ROM that has the GPS enabled? If you're Verizon, for example, you're going to need to flash a new ROM. There's plenty of discussion on how to do so here and on PPCGeeks.
Anyone got buzz.google.com working on the Nexus One? I always get the desktop view when I go to that site.
and I have Cyanogen 5.0Beta4. I seem to lost the ability to use mobile websites like espn, instead i get the full desktop version.

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.
You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!
Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?
I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.
update google maps in the market
Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?
heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol
I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

After a few tries I got to post a buzz both from the page in the browser, and from google maps.
But, now I can't delete the two posts...
Lots of spinning wheels. Seems unfinished.
But I like the idea. Hope it will work better in the coming days

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess
Dayz
Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.
I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?
The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?
Anyway I'll wait and see how it goes.

yes, you can install an app, but not it will not activate without having it already configured
AntiDroidTheft is a very good one
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.antidroidtheft
and then you can find your phone online
http://www.antidroidtheft.com/
unfortunately for it and all other similar software to work, you will need to have had it pre-installed and configured
Anti DT requires the least config to work
if you have a smart Coder friend, maybe he can upload a new version of this App modified to install and start automatically with a predefined secret password
then you install it from the new Android Market
and it will install and activate itself on its own, and you might have a chance at finding your phone, and trace it to where the guy live
will tmobile be able to help at all if i call them because none of my frienda would be able to make that program. thanks though please any ideas

You can download this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.gtmedia.findMyPhone remotely to your phone.
Then send a SMS to your phone with the secret code and command. The default secret code is 1234.
List of commands:
1234 help
1234 locate
1234 alarm
1234 wipe (wipe sd card is not set by default)
1234 calls
Unless your gps is on, the location of your phone isn't going to be accurate. Just hope that if a person did steal the phone, they won't be removing the app. Since when the phone receives the message, it will play the ringtone and notifications will pop up.
hmm... interesting
trying that as we speak to see if it works

whhat is the name of the new app?
Also how do i know what the code is if i dont have my phone?
I'm only asking because you didn't mention it specifically, but did you try the simplest method first of calling you're own number and seeing if someone answers? Also, send a text message to the phone saying please call me.
You said "seems like" someone took it. Maybe you dropped it or left it and an honest person has it and will gladly return it. Worth a shot if you haven't yet.

Did you actually try it yet? It works for me. I tested it.
Go to the market and have it remotely downloaded onto your phone. Then send the phone commands.
If you can't get the app (or any other app) downloaded onto your phone for whatever reason, then of course this won't work or any other method that I can think of.
I wouldn't be suggesting it if it didn't work. What's the point in doing that? I got nothing to gain from it.

I'll confirm this works. I just went to the link you provided earlier on my CR-48, then told the Market to install it to my phone which is across the room from me.
I waited a few minutes, then used my Google Voice web account to send the "1234 Locate" to my phone. A few seconds later I heard a text message arrive on the phone. A few seconds later I got a text message back from the phone that said my location would be determined in under 5 minutes, and then about a minute later I got another message from the phone that was the latitude and longitude of the phone, and then another link with a link that opened Google Maps on my laptop to right where my phone is.
AWESOME.
I've got WaveSucure & MobileDefense both on my phones, and this is simpler and easier than either of those. Good find.
The only negative here is that on my other two phones when I tried to install it on them, the Market told me that I hadn't logged into the Market on those phones in a while and that I would have to open the Market on those phones before I could remotely install. I'd have been screwed on those phones.

Can anyone shed some light on any existing or soon in development apps for utilizing the onboard GPS in the TF/Honeycomb?
In particular apps from companies such as Garmin, Tomtom, Navigon or even IGO where the maps are stored on the device itself using the GPS chip for nav. Coming from apple IOS I am familiar with their apps but I cannot find any seemingly stable counterparts in the marketplace.
Not looking to shell out $50 to $100 plus on something that was meant for a phone . . .
coPilot has been out for years.
google map for me, although you would need to cache your map first (do it by setting the destination first when you are connected to internet) but that's another option for you
Are there any apps to cache a preset area/zoom level of google maps? Not that I have an issue using my phone as an AP...
I'm pretty satisfied with Google Maps / Navigation. I just wish Asus would fix the mic to add voice search capabilities.
There is also aura made by sygic which is pretty good... (not sure if there is an honeycomb version though...)
Damn, can't wait to get my transformer so i can stop stalking this forum and actually play with this thing! :O
For Map-on-SDcard solution, everyone seems to be happy with coPilot(also cheapest in the market I think). Navigon is also available in the market, and Igo has an Android version but seems to be OEM distributed only.

aura's bottom menu buttons don't play nice with honeycomb, the status bar obscures the bottom section of the screen. Copilot works prefectly though

I just bought co-pilot today. It asked for my 15 digit Google Order number which I did NOT enter because the order number in my email had like 50 digits so I just hit next and it said "registered."
Looks kind of "blown up" on the TF ,,,,, I think they need a higher res tablet edition. Officially they don't support it either on this device or on Honeycomb.

You should receive a very long number key from Copilot after purchase. They ware not real fast sending it out so it could take several days. Once you have it, you can go to the register screen and enter it. Keep it in a safe place as you will need it if you change devices or get something new.

The google number is 15 digits long...that's the number you need.
If you got one that's ALOT longer...then you need to email them and give them that number to get it straightened out and they will send you the proper check out number.
then you input the number that they gave you and you're good to go

There is already an android app that scans documents, corrects for camera angle, enhances text, optimizes contrast and converts the page to a PDF. It's called CamScanner and I use it almost daily to save receipts and fax documents. (I fax them for free using Files Anywhere) There are also several OCR apps on the Play Store so there's no reason this couldn't be done. That's one feature I would love to have.
That's an awsome idea, finding texts etc using your eyes rather than Ctrl+F. This requires accurate eye movement tracing I guess?
