Hi,
If you want you IE home page search using Google engine instead Live Search, then this is for you. Also google search is not identified as PDA, which I think is better for the Univesal VGA Screen.
Just place de attached document (default_google.htm) in "\Windows" directory, then set it has your home page in IE.
Also if you want local search, just edit it and change where says "www.google.com" by your local google site (ie. "www.google.com.uy" in my case).
I hope someone like my little contibution.
BTW, sorry for my bad english (native spanish)
Didn't work for me. The page loaded fine, but a google search got me into windows explorer instead of google search results.

gmm 3.2.0 cab
I don't know why google makes it such a pain in the balls to get gmm cabs but here it is.
thanks mate
the link is dead...
never mind, it worked a couple of minutes later...
ya the link on their website for it isn't working.
Anyway it's nice they updated it with the new features.
Now if they would just give us lowly windows-mobile users that google-voice app that they released for everyone else.....
Sweet!
Having traffic accident info is EXACTLY what I have been hoping for.
Good F'n job Google!
Now if they can just integrate weather updates based on cell tower/gps location it would be brushing up against perfect.
(And yes I know Live Search/Bing already does this.)
don't work on Diamond2???

You installed to Memory Card, right?
As the website said, you have to uninstall, delete any files in the Program Files/ folder for Google Maps, and then restart your phone, and then re-install.
I hate Google's impossible links. Annoyingggg.

Can always count on you to deliver the goods when the manufacturer can only provide a 404.
Cheers Mate!

You know das' right my man, I deliver! Can't claim I've got the fastest connection in the world (dsl...) but my server's had 100% uptime since I flipped the switch on for blownfuze back in december.
In google's defense you don't want to be giving out your new hot software to people unless you're sure you're giving them the right version for their phone's OS and with all these different browsers for all phones and I guess it's getting hard to tell what kind of phone they've got based on their http user agent. Almost everybody who uses winmo phones are not like us, don't flash new roms of new builds of different winmo releases, don't use leaked betas of browsers... still, why not let people download from their computer like everyone else who distributes software. For example, here's a user agent that just hit my server log:
"Opera/9.50 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.2.13216/574; U; en)"
Hard to tell which OS that guy's running and google doesn't want to release crappy java versions of gmm anymore.

I hear ya.
Via devices ... makes total sense.
Via PC however, which is the only way I download CAB's, Google could save themselves tons of issues by following the lead of other manufacturers ...
Drop-Down List 1: Device (or O/S)
Drop-Down List 2: Language of GMM to download
Button: Download
... done. It's simple and requires no complex auto-detection, just a PC user who can read.
At least that's how it's done, I'm told, on Omicron Persei 8.

DUDE! We run similar sites! Except I support the T-Mobile Wing while you're all for the Fuze. But I've gotta say my site looks better: http://thewingster.com/
Hehe. That's cool that we ended up doing the same thing though!
And Screenshots of the new Google Maps: http://thewingster.com/googlemaps.aspx
Taken Directly from Googles maps page:
Supported Phones
Google Maps for mobile works on most phones, including those that run the below platforms. You can always download Maps to your phone using your cellular connection -- just visit m.google.com/maps on your device's browser, or send yourself a text message using the button at the top of this page. Some mobile phones also support the ability to sideload Google Maps onto your phone.
Android
BlackBerry
Java
Windows Mobile: Download Binary
Symbian S60 3rd Edition (most new Nokia smartphones): Download Binary
Palm OS: Download Binary
iPhone (pre-installed)
If you're not sure whether your phone runs one of these platforms, just try sending yourself a text message to get Maps. It will probably work!

So they do offer an easy way to download the cabs...
Yup ... site I usually go to ... looks like they fixed the broken links - no more 404.
What is the best maps software available for the HTC HD2 ?
I know the google maps is really good, but one thing I dislike about is that it doesnt have a built in compass.
Nokia maps had a built in compass that rotates according to your position. ( the whole map rotates as well showing what direction you're facing)
Is there such program for the HTC ?
the new google maps support the built-in compass. It doesn't rotate or change the orientation of the map, but it gives you an arrow of which direction your car is heading.
Do I need to download that google maps or is it in the version that came with the HTC ? (going to check that now)
---EDIT
Nope its not in my current version, where can I get the new one ?
---EDIT
Okay I followed : http://www.google.com/gmm
Ill see if that downloads the newest version
---EDIT
It seems I have 3.2.1 .. the newest version stated by that site is 3.3.1
Maybe that will work
Thanks for pointing out the new version, ill reply back here once I finish downloading
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575903
Thanks for the link ^^ Already got it though
And true, in the new version, the blue dot becomes an arrow and points towards what you are facing, Cool !!
Thanks
If for some reason you don't want to use Google Maps AND you live in the UK, Mapyx Quo seems to be pretty good. Check it out here: http://www.mapyx.com/
Isnt that a computer software ?
Have you seen nonigps?
It takes a track and you can set up waypoints which you can export in various formats.
It has an inbuilt compass which points to your next waypoints and also has a few dashboards to choose from

Mapyx Quo is a simple and helpful 100% Free Digital Mapping program perfect for walkers, bikers, anglers, birdwatchers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
With Quo you can connect your GPS to your PC and manage all your waypoints, routes and tracks. View information such as elevation, distance, speed, ETA and you can also print out the OS maps if you wish!
Direct access to top UK walking and biking routes are included free of charge and free UK maps are included.
Mapyx Quo software was awarded "Best Buy" by Computer Shopper and continues to receive rave reviews in computer and outdoors magazines.
“it's simpler and the OS mapping data is usually cheaper. It also has broader file support and Google Earth integration. Because of all this, it's our preferred choice for PC-based mapping”
I can't figure a way of using UK postcodes to enter a destination? Am I missing something? Or is the software basically useless?
Anyone with any pointers on how to do this? Please just tell me I am being dim. Otherwise I will stick with Copilot.
Sorry about the bump, but this is ridiculous!
Looking for PE22 0TU for example
OK, so if you enter a postcode (PE22 0TU) it won't find it. You then have to enter a partial postcode with no spacing (PE220), it won't find it.
But if you then press the blank result in the screen, not the search field, the bit that has an exclamation point followed by "Search for xxxx" it then comes up wiht a list of postcodes.
However, it is not the full list of postcodes and there are many it does not know about - PE22 0TU for one.
Absolute rubbish.
I'd like to know how to use it as well, as currently I find it pretty useless finding anything.
Got to agree, it's generally pretty crappy I think.
I've found this too. But Navigator doesnt bother me as much as it google maps though, where again it doesnt find postcodes for some reason. I've already got a tomtom so wont use navigator much, but google maps is (would be) great when i'm out and about in the city on foot.
agreed! atm I have paid ~£50 for the Navigon as it does postcode search and allows for traffic (i wasnt getting traffic thru copilot so i got a refund for it
it would also be nice to use Locations as it does not disappear when you get a phone call!
so far then it looks like i'm not the only one with this problem...at first i just wondered if i was missing how to do it.
I am not a programmer so dont know how easy this would be to implement:
Export the lat/long from Google maps into HTC Locations. This would require a data connection for a couple of minutes (while using Google maps) but would be a nice work around

That is really odd, because I have never had Google Maps not find a post code. Do you have an example?

I have been using Google Maps to navigate via post code and it was worked fine, I have had no trouble using postcode search within google maps, what happens when you try it?
i dont suppose any1 has found a solution to this yet? I've been trying hard but have come to nothing
I have just noticed this myself this morning.
I was really hoping to use the Navigation thing for all my satnav needs but without postcode entry its rubbish.
You can't even search for a street name without first putting in the city where it is.
Glad they give you a 30 day trial of it before needing to purchase.
I'm not having any problem with postcode entry in Navigator? Start navigating, select Set Destination and put the postcode in without spaces. Seems to work fine. I even tried PE22 0TU which was mentioned above and it locates and navigates to it fine.
Are you guys talking about navigation, (the google st nav), or locations/car panel, (the htc sat nav)?
Postcode in the htc one is rubbish and as you say doesnt work. Seems you have to type the address in and it finds it.
Postcode search on the google one works fine for me.
I wont be paying for the htc one after my 30 day trial is up, shame really as its a nice bit of kit but at the moment not very user friendly
Me, I'm just confused by the sheer number of navigation apps on the phone... Navigation, Car Panel, Location, Google Maps, Footprints...
But if you mean the app that is just called Navigator then it finds postcodes for me...
Search is too confusing too... Search Anywhere, Search People, Google Search, Search, Quick Lookup and then there's the search button...
Locations is the app made by HTC and TomTom in partnership. People everywhere are experiencing problems with it's post code search.
I am not sure who dropped the ball on this, HTC or TomTom, but until there is an update enabling this feature the application is virtually useless.
I have contacted HTC customer support and there only answer was, "it is a brand new application, released not so long ago and so, is still full of bugs."
Its not exactly nice to hear that when you have just paid over £400 for a phone.
Anyway... I remember that the TomTom in my car once lost all the post codes after an update. You can download a file from TomTom support and install it to regain post code search.
What I am hoping is that as the locations app does already support post code search, and is based on the TomTom maps/data, that some genius can add this full postcode database to the locations app.
I have no idea how to do this except what I have posted here. I'm hoping that some smart guy/girl will come along and do the hard part now!
I did post links to relevant information but apparently I dont have the right privileges to link external sites
Dear CoPilot users,
Over the last month I have been having a bit of a battle with the makers of CoPilot 8, ALK, with regards to my license which I purchased in early 2010.
Like many of you here, I'm a bit of a compulsive phone updater, be it new windows builds, android or this new android NAND stuff.
Anyway, every time I flashed a ROM, I'd have to reactivate Co-Pilot over the internet. No problem. However, one day, it stopped working, saying that my code was invalid!! Much to my horror, I sent ALK an e-mail asking what had happened. Here was my response.
Discussion Thread
---------------------------------------------------------------
Response (Brandt) - 08/11/2010 11.45 AM
Dear Jon,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Unfortunately the reason why you are no longer able to continue activating CoPilot is our Activation server has seen that you have reached the maximum permitted activation limit for a product.
Unfortunately there is nothing further I can do to unlock your Product Key Code to allow for further activations as this falls under excessive uses of activation.
Click to expand...

Well, I didn't realise I could only activate so many times before the product was no longer mine. So I did some fishing through my T&C's for CoPilot 8 and there is no actual figure to indicate what "the maximum permitted activation limit for a product" is.
So I replied with an e-mail to that effect, saying that there is nothing in black and white for me to have known this. A month later they finally got back to me and said that I can now reactivate my code.
Now - I can understand what's happened. From their server's point of view, lots of people could be using my code on a large number of devices. So how do you get around this?
Well, every time you go to flash a new ROM, **MAKE SURE YOU DEACTIVATE YOUR LICENSE FIRST**!!
In settings (assuming you have show all settings selected), you will see a license button. Select your map in the list of things and press deactivate.
If you do this then you will be okay. But I suspect ALK will be updating their T&C to prevent this from occurring again.
Anyway, I hope that saves some of you from some potential trouble in the future.
why dont you backup & restore using titanium?
works for me
as far as im aware the activation code is linked to your phones IMEI, so it doesnt matter how many times you change your build, (with the same os) if restoring from backup
this is common practice with drm'd software.
the solution is just not to use it.
In The windows ver .. there is a file called : licp8.dat
That keeps your lic Info ...
Wonder if there is one for thr Android ???
then it will not matter
Just Found This ..
Requirements:
- A *LEGAL* copy of CoPilot 8 for Windows Mobile and the license key
- The latest version of CoPilot 8 for Android (works in Froyo now) Link to ALK Web Site
I bought it about 8 months ago for my HD2, for Windows Mobile 6.5. Great piece of software. I contacted ALK to ask if I could transfer between OS's and they said no, it wouldn't work! It also clearly states on their web site that transfers don't work:
Link
So being stubborn, I thought I'd take my own license from WinMo and deactivate it, stick it into Android and needless to say - it works and I have a fully legal copy of CoPilot 8 running on my Android Froyo device. Those cheeky beggers at ALK!!!
So how to get it working:
•Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;
•Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can't see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);
•Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";
•CoPilot will now shut down;
•Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here;
•Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password);
•Bada Bing. That should be it, all working!
Just to clarify one further time, this is only for legally purchased licenses. No questions about dodgy software please. Thank you.
