h well it doesn't, apps haven't started to filter in to Win 8 yet given its a beta still, but I suspect once we start hitting the RCs we will see the app store getting larger with such apps, just now you need to remember that there are not many Win 7 tablets with GPS so demand is not high for your needs just yet.
Try using google earth - it works with GPS
I know this is a stretch but why not use the metro bing maps app. It does support location services.

Hi
I have a hd2 , when I install the gps2google earth (gps2ge) on my mobile , I always get lat:0 and lng:0 . I donot see the google earth. any help pls?
Not sure what causes the problem; but do you still need GPS2GE nowadays? Google earth for HD2 uses GPS directly, and if you get the newest version, you can create 'starred places' and then share them.

Doesn't exist! That's why. Look for google maps instead.
HI
That is bad! hope htc can catch up.
Thanks for you info
Try running QuickGPS first and then Google Maps. You should only have to do this once

It seems you are mixing things up here. It would not be up to HTC to code Google Earth to work with a Windows Mobile Phone. If they did that, I can hear Google's cries of IPR violations. The way I see it, Google would be quite happy to see Google Earth working only on Android phones.

Yes, you are right, moreover, I'm pretty sure that when Stephen Selby wrote Google Earth, he actually meant Google Maps and kenobe would be perfectly happy to use Google Maps instead of waiting for Google Earth! I actually find the way google maps work brilliant! Using cell towers signal to get your approximate location when you can't get a GPS fix is a great feature.

Car Menu and Google Maps Navigation. When you are out and about, Galaxy S makes finding your way around fun, easy and efficient. In the car, put Galaxy S into its mount, and weather, view map, voice search and navigation icons are instantly displayed. The Google Maps Navigation application allows you to find your destination easily and quickly even through the most complex streets. As you make your way, Galaxy’s internet-connected navigation with voice command and preinstalled Google Maps, provides three different views. Real street view, traffic view and satellite view.

Am I the only person who gets "Navigation is not available in your area" when I load the navigation app? Samsung are selling the phone with navigation as a feature, one I intended to use which is disabled because?
I was under the impression that Google Navigation was only available in the US as of right now.

I'm pretty sure they opened it up recently to the UK a short while ago, but so far I think thats it
I had the same issue, had to instal brut google maps to have working navigation. I knew google maps navigation wasn't available here, but it was kind of among to have a non working app pre installed ob a phone that is sold locally.
Sorry double post.
Just install Brut google maps
what is brut google maps? i cant find it on the market

Its a modified version of google maps and Navigation that works outside of U.S. I use it all the time here in Australia. Perfect !!
Not available in the market, but you can find it here.

Its works in Canada.. Google Navigation has been working in Canada for about a year now.

There's no google Nav in aus yet as mentioned. Brut[maps] works, but be aware there are still some small subtle oddities (which don't really affect it's use), such as going the wrong way around on roundabouts (So if it says second exit, that might mean second exit counterclockwise, NOT the correct way).
is there anyway or anywhere to get google maps on the shift without the latitude app? i just hate seeing it in my app list! i never use it and i don't see available to freeze in titanium. is it just part of maps?
Yeah latitude, places, and navigation are all part of maps.
Ok. My problem is that while trying to upgrade to a newer version of Google Maps (5.6), I had to uninstall my older version (5.2) using Titanium Backup app. But I did not know that removing Google Maps would also remove Navigation, Places & Latitude. Now all of them are gone from my phone and the new package of Google Maps (version 5.6, size 6.39MB) is also NOT INSTALLING on the phone! So what is the remedy left now? Can I download Google Maps from the Market to install it on my phone?
You should be able to just dl maps from the market to get everything back, and I'm pretty sure if u try to get rid of latitude ,or any of the others, google maps just keeps force closing

I believe that you are required to have a wifi/data connection to use google navigation. You can cache that maps manually but I think this only provides you with the maps themselves, not navigation.

Yeah been trying out the cache and that's really disappointing i was hoping to use it in my dash. they don't make it clear on their site that its required to have a data connection.
GPS works fine without WiFi. If you want to use navigation, start your route where u have a wifi connection. Or you can use a different app that has offline navigation

For offline navigation I suggest navigon

Problem with starting my route with wifi is for work i move around a lot from client to client, not always having a hotspot..that being said i was hoping to use this device without having to tether but it looks like for me thats my only option.

Yes, for now, that would be one of your only options. Another option tho, use a different navigation app.
I am travelling to a new country soon, and want to save map of tht city for offline viewing, but I simply cant seem to see that option anymore.
Please guide me, using latest updated version of Google Map.
PS: Is this option taken out ? Any alternatives ?
Maybe a Google search ?

It used to be in the menu... why is it hidden with a secret command..... wtf is going on with the world... eeverything is so fookin against end users nowadays.
Or get an alternative app?
Personally I like MapsWithMe. It doesn't run on Google Maps but on OpenStreetMap.org, which means it's quite a lot more accurate and extensive. (Even lists benches and power lines.) Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the tip - never heard of it before, just tried it and it's excellent - time to ditch CoPilot
I've used RMaps which you can download a city map to something daft like 3 feet, viewable offline, multiple map scales so you can zoom in/out offline, download via wifi, cached/downloaded maps saved to SDCard, GPS tracker and multiple maps to choose from including Google, Ordinance Survey Maps + more....
I use this before I run Google and can have clear street view before I've set foot out of the door

I use navigator. It doesn't need a data connection because you download maps either paid or free (I use the free ones and they are fine). I found even when Google maps let you download a map you still couldn't navigate on it without a data connection anyway. Which made it kind of pointless.

I just made a search in Google play for apps suggested above "RMaps" and "Navigator" and I am not able to find app as such on the play store.... ?

Unless the DEV removed Rmaps maybe (I'm sure I downloaded it from play store") well here's a link to his blog

I have tried all maps mentioned here, but none of them are as smooth and easy to understand as Google maps. Most of them are slow and laggy and also take forever to load location names and details.
Now I would be stuck without wifi and now wonder what to do....
