I read that google maps are included on this- can anyone tell me if they are cacheable or do you have to DL them each time you use them? I can imagine data charges skyrocketing if they dont.....
maybe i will just stick tomtom on it.....
Once the data is downloaded initially, it is then cached. However, when you zoom in or out, it has to refresh and that is downloaded as well. But once you have it, it's saved.
can i do this from a wifi connection at home (free)?
Sorry, Google Maps does insist on an active internet connection when you try and run it, so that it can download as required. I doubt there's a way to spoof it. You're probably better off getting TomTom or iGo or something.

Yes you can....am doing with my diamond!
Google Maps? Where to find...
I also have my HD now for about a week now, and searched for Google just to try it out. However, I still haven't found it anywere; nor on on CD, neither on my HD (which they direct you to from the manual; Start - Programs - Google Maps). Are there different versions going round with or without it? I read somewhere that another dutch man had it on his one....

It's a lot easier to go directly to www.google.com/gmm...
By the way, it was not installed on mine (WWE version, bought in Switzerland)
its on the programs page, middle slot, top row.
@Rolud: Thanks for the link! Going to try it out (although I read that TT is better to use though...).
@indup: I tried both from Touch3D programs, all programs and from WM programs section, all were not showing up Google... But I've installed it now via the link of Rolud.
I guess there are different models out then; with and without Google Maps pre-installed. Would like to know more differences between them actually...

I hope its finally possible to get GPS working! I tried a lot of different versions of google Maps on my Hermes with external bluetooth GPS Keychain 2000, I never succeed to get it work. It realy s*cks!
Maybe the UK version has Google Maps, but the Dutch version doesn't? And that other person you mentioned had one that wasn't from Holland?
The other Dutch person also have an WWE version, just like me (don't know who exactly, but just read it somewhere here at another tread which I cannot find anymore due to the many treads and pages there are from HD users... ).
But I got it installed now, and at the HD it is working with GPS without any problems. It even got a good GPS signal although I'm in my room and it was very well positioned (2 to 3 meters difference)!
It also looks great on the screen of the HD
Some versions don't have Google Maps preinstalled.
Was looking at the HD at a shop the other day and there was no Google Maps on it, and the manual says
10.1 Google Maps (Available by Country)

My Belgian bought WWE version with firmware 401 didn't have Google Maps, but then I flashed it with the latest WWE firmware 405 release (made after the date I received mine apparanty) and that one did have google maps by default.
All the other european language ones I've seen so far all have the 401 level of firmware.
So with the ones delivered from now on, there might be Google maps installed with non WWE devices that have a 405 level firmware on them.
I bought mine today, and it has GMM preinstalled on it.
Mine didn't have GM preinstalled either
UK version bought in Belgium
ROM version: 1.14.401.3 (22273) WWE
It was not pre-installed on my HTC Touch HD. I could not follow the link win Opera. I used IE to download Google Maps and install. Hopefully it detected the correct version.
Much better getting Tomtom. If you're using google maps, with gps and 3G hard at work, you're gobbling the battery something insane.
I'm more curious to how to get GM as a tab like Manila2D had.
I only see it for sale with the entire European navigation package....for £130. I only want the UK and will pay up to £60, where is this available?
hi first post on the forum!
just wondering if this would work on a HTC magic?
Brought it today (cheap reduced in sale)
cant find out how to install it!! check around and a few people have had problems with it on different htc phones!
please help!
thanks Jord
as far as known ... garmin has not release any version for android phones yet ....
search on market "map" or "gps" or "routing" for available mapping & routing software for android...
