I have searched but can't find anything on this. I am using a tilt and running google maps and live search. I am wanting to be able to collect waypoints within either of these two apps. Does anybody know if this is possible and if so could you provide the process.
Thanks.

Hi All,
I was searching for an app that will show the GPS position of my phone realtime in Google earth. I found Ipoki (www.ipoki.com). It's a great app for tracking phones in google earth and google maps in realtime.
However.. The app keeps crashing on my phone on random intervalls. Anyone of you using this app and do you experience the same problems?
Does anyone know a replacement for this app (just in case i can't solve the crashes). It is important that the location can me viewed in Google Earth. I tried latitude, but the update frequency isn't very reliable.
Thanks in advance.
Isn't this the same as Latitude from google maps??
---EDIT---
sorry didn't read good.
Currently there doesn't seem to be any easy reliable way to track an Android device via Google Earth (apart from Ipoki which seems to have trouble on the Hero). Presumably you mean using Google Earth on a PC and creating a network link to a kml file?
The only apps that come close are Instamapper and Glympse, which offer live tracking via a map on a webpage.
I used to use http://www.mgmaps.com/ on Symbian devices; you can configure a auto-updated kml file which sits on a server and you can point to from GE for live tracking. This works really well, but the app doesn't work on Android yet (though apparently it DOES work with the custom ROMs since they support Java). Keep an eye on this as I think it will work well with the new ROM, and I believe the developer is working on porting it to Android.
It looks promising and i am running the customrom from modaco. However can you point me in the right direction? I downloaden the generic app from the site and put it on my sd card. However, the javabox doesn't show the file, so i can't open it.
Check the forums on mgpaps.com, there are users there successfully running it on the Hero.
Hi guys.
I have been using sportstracklive on my Hero to log my mountain bike rides which i then upload to the Sportstrackslive site. I have downloaded the Google Earth KMZ file which i have converted into a GPX file and assumed i would be able to use RMaps or even Google maps to then follow out on the trail, but alas no
Dose anyone know of any GPS apps or software i could download which would allow me to do this?
Also is Memory Map software compatible with the Hero? I have all the maps on the PC but can't get the phone to work with it, and as i don't know my way around the software yet am hoping i am doing something wrong.

Hey guys, im going on a vacation soon, and i really dont wanna be charged with roaming, so google maps is out of the question. And i might be out of phone reception.
I want a good app with preloaded maps, preferably satt images, not just roads as i wont be driving, and preferably free
Any ideas

how about this app?
have a look here for general info on gps and here for some nav progs, maybe some of them can also do what you need
cheers
If you don't need routing, take a look at navi computer (it's freeware): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581474 Comes with a normal windows program which allows to export maps. By default only open street maps, but if you change around the config file, you can also export google & bing sat/maps (google for 'MapSources.xml Google and Bing maps'). Plus a finger friendly windows mobile app which works pretty well and can use those exported maps without any net connection.
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there's any apps out there that will allow us to save locations in Maps. I did some search and came across this article:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5079
Basically Maps does not have a save location feature currently.
I'm also looking for a feature that will allow us to save directions from A to B for offline viewing or future reference.
Thank you everyone!
Hi I've searched the forums for a solution to this, it seems to be a common issue across multiple platforms.
I haven't been able to find a concrete reason for the error or a solution.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to overcome this please? Any further details required let me know:

xamol,
Sorry for the delay, we have bee busy today. If I understand you correctly, you are using Google Play Store, when you
go to some of the applications like Google Maps, Google Play responds with:
"Your device isn't comparable with this version"
The reason is that Google Play does a simple hardware inventory, saves it to an XML file, this XML file is
queried by certain software vendors. In the case of Google Maps, the Kindle is missing a GPS device,
this is the reason for the error. Now, we have been able to "side load" Google Maps, Latitude, Local, Navigation
and many others, you can take a peek here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36121991 if you need any help, just send us a
message. We have been able to side-load many applications.
