any tips on how to get this to work, i see there was a selection for GPS Como 1-10 or something like that do i have to put it on one of those selections? and just see which works or is there one that's the most common?
gps works just fine with live search. Just make sure live search is using 'gps internediate driver' in the settings of live search.
And dont touch your external GPS settings on your device!

Well, maybe no one knows the answer...
I have google maps working just fine with gps. Though I can't help you much with your problem since I never had to do much work to get it right. My gps was just configured correctly in windows in settings -> connections -> gps (ie. other programs like tomtom can see my gps). The baudrate and com port for the gps needs to be set. Then as I started google maps I was able to select "track location" or something like that from the menu and it works.
Is it true that the onbaord GPS can self manage the GPS data to multiple apps( like the Trinity)?
Yes, that is correct.
Go to Settings, system tab, then External GPS , access tab,
then tick the option 'automatically manage GPS (recommended)'.
(It should be something like that, because I have a Dutch ROM, so this is an educated guess )

Do you know the actual port the GPS is on? I'm trying to get iGo to work and it just hangs when I do autoseek. Strange thing is that Google maps has no trouble finding and using the built in GPS-hardware. Unfortunately it won't tell me what these settings are.
ROM-versie 1.25.172.0 25-6-07
I used COM port nr 6. I didn't change the hardware-port and the baudrate settings.
However, the first time, it took me about half an hour to get a GPS fix. But once he made the first fix, the next ones were very fast. Since then, he has a fix within 20 seconds.
Could you tell me about the Google Maps application? What is it about? Could you eventualy share the files?

That's it, but beware of your mobile internet tarrifs, I think only with Dutch T-Mobile this falls under your 10 euro internet bundle.
I gave up on Igo, I just use TomTom now.
Did you notice that on long trips with bluetooth on the gps just plain disapears? like: no GPS-device present? doesn't happen with bluetooth switched off.
maybe it's just my ROM version, I'm having it flashed to release version later today (branded unfortunately: yuk!)
Update: not release, ROM-versie 1.49.172.2

Now that the retail version is available, can anyone please confirm or try to feed 2 applications that would use the GPS data feed concurrently!
ie TomTom and GPSDash.
Thanks
Kaiser & Igo
I'm using iGo 2007 with the GPS settings left as standard. When I looked at these they were com 4 and 4800 baud. Memory map 5 uses the same settings and I've had no problems with either. I let WM6 manage the setting automatically as I have with all previous WM GPS Smartphones/PDAs.

I am using Windows Live with mine and the GPS port only seems to work on Com4, but like others, I leave the HW port and baud rate alone.
If you enable the QuickGPS it will help you lock onto a satellite quicker.
I had found this pretty cool GPS tool (www.terracrosser.com), yet it's zooming does not work on HTC Diamond. I had tried to modify registry fot scrolling wheel, but I was only able to scroll the map up and down, not to zoom.
Any help would be great.
Here is the way to registry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/Terracrosser/
classname (string): #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
Mode (dword): 4
WheelCount (dword): 2
The website contains little to no information.
What does this app do?
How does it differ to Google maps?
Can it grab a map of Paris for me for me to use offline in the future?
I don't understand, it uses gps to show your location with maps from google maps.... So basically it's just google maps?

Looks like it, read the .PDF on download page
So it appears. Try using Google Maps for the Diamond instead of Terracrosser.
Damn, what a nice tool, I will certanly keep that in mind!
I have searched for a proper solution to download the google maps for a long time... that saves me a lot gprs costs
Nice tool, hoe they gonna fix the zoom-bug, then it'll be just perfect!
Not really usable for the moment but, if I understand well the documentation, the tool Mapper (wich crashes for me) should be able to save maps with different zoom levels and that would be great ! Touch screen and jog dial navgation would also be great...
I'll keep an eye on this...
so how easy would it be to download maps for offline viewing.
Can I tell it to just 'go fetch maps for Paris' and that will be enough? Thats the sort of solution I would need, a list of cities and I 'check off' which ones I would want it to download and cache

I have tested the mapper for some minutes, i am at work, so not much time to do it in detail
You have to zoom to the area you want to download by yourself, after that you choose how many zoomleves are to be saved and the rest dows the program on its own. Quite simple in my opinion.
But a feature to enter the city you want to download would be great, too
Perhabs it'll be added in the near future. It#s the first official version of this tool, as I have read on the page.
sorry but how can I control the program. I`ve added the necessary reg keys to navigate with hw keys but I can not zoom. stylus navigation isn`t supported?
Beta tester wanted
Hello!
If anybody want to betatest Terracrosser for HTC Diamond, please contact "mail at terracrosser dot com".
Thank you,
Nitisara
New Zooming method
Please use version 1.0.1 - touch screen zooming implemented (read User manual).
Great program, just what a lot of people have been after.
Why has it taken so long for someone to actually make an offline/cached map viewer??!?! I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult!
I'm having a few problems with the software that I will try and solve, hopefully this keeps getting better!
what happened to Terracrosser.com??
I get a "server stoped" message when I go to the url where terracrosser was previously found
http://www.terracrosser.com
Site Not Working
Same problem for me also. Nitisara please make the site work so we can download the latest version of terracrosser.
Loved it in Cuba.
It's a pitty that the site is down.
Luckily I already grabbed a version. And I used it in Cuba
As far as I know there are no GPS-maps available because that is not allowed.
But Terracrosser was a big help, especially when a jinetero is helping you to go to somewhere else
I have installed NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3 rom and sofar so good.
Home customizer installed aswell as some programms like pocket informant etc
All works well.
Now I heard good things about Igo8 and wanted to use it .
Got it and got it working too
Everything works fine , it finds my internal GPS and it get signals from the satelites as well.
But I can't use it because I see no details on the map , no roads or whatever..and I CAN'T tell it were I want to go because the onscreen keyboard doesn't work , the kaisers keyboard doesn't input anything either
In fact ...in menu the route option is greyed out also, can't acces thatone either.
something to do with the map????
Anyone who has the solution for this problem?

What map do you have installed for igo8? if you goto settings, about then click maps at the bottom it will tell you.
Basemap 2007.07
Sorry if it takes some time before I reply, busy at work and all
At first I thought I had to wait for the gps to get a signal but even then it doesn't work.
Still I think it must have something to do with the map since the route(?) "button "is greyed out in the navigation menu .
It the first on the right. next to search.
You need a map for the region where you are. Basemap is not it. Igo is the best software for GPS I have used so far.

You dont have a region map you just have the one that came with the program. Thats why nothing is showing and the search box is greyed out because it has nothing to search. Did you think that it would come with maps for the entire world preloaded or somthing mate lol .
Anyway theres nothing wrong with your igo8 thats the reason you cant see any details or roads. Download the region you need and put it in your maps folder and everything will be fine
Stupid of me ..haha ....will do and thanks
Got the map in the right directory and its working
Looks like you'r right ATVELL saying Igo is the best, like what I see sofar !
Thanks mskip and ATVELL for waking me up lol
i am having the same exact issues. except i think i have all the region maps, in the map folder i have a file named basemap and then also all the US states. am i missing something else?
I don't know why I can't use those offline map softwares. For Mapdroyd, everything I can see when starting up the application was a blue background and nothing more, except the scale ruler on top, and it seems that I can "zoom" to that blue background, cuz I can see some changes in the scale displayed. I tried to download some more maps from the networks, but it's useless either. I want to contact the software's website, but it's in German, no way
For Bigplanet I can see the underlying grid, but not the map. Yeah, that's all I can see. I have change to network use, but it doesn't display anything too.
Could somebody tell me how to fix those problems? Any suggestions for other offline map softwares? Thanks so much.
I have the same problem with mapdroyd in my htc magic with hero rom. Any help???
FIXED: I just tapped My Location and when I saw a cross from the GPS, I zoomed in enough and I saw the map I downloaded.
