Thanks for the quick responses. The W.I.M.P app looks close to what I want but, the Wing doesn't have GPS.

ditto, i looked into this because i was intrigued but its pointless because the wing doesnt have an internal gps. isnt there a program that works like the "my location" feature on google maps application that gets your approximate location based on cell tower locations? something like that would be more suited for the wing.

video chatting

What is the best app for video chatting form my gtab running TnT lite lastest. My wife uses Win-win on her laptop. Are there any that are stand alone no need for an internet connection just a home network.

Not exactly answering your question I'm afraid, but Yahoo messenger works for me for video chat between my wife's laptop and my G tab (or is that the other way around?)!

Could you please give your version of Yahoo Messenger + Video plugin
My version force close.
Thanks.

Under "About Messenger", it says version 1.3.1.4583
I don't know how to find info about the video plugin?

Could you attach apk for both please?

I am not able to find Yahoo messenger in the market. I did find a Y! Suites app an installed it it had a link for messenger when I clicked on it I was prompted to login so I did. I was then shown a offer to install yahoo messenger for Android, I click on it and get a,message that the protocol is not supported.

That is Odd. I was able to install Messenger 2 weeks ago on my GTab and now the market is showing the same results as you. No Messenger available to download.
I did find that it can be searched for from the PC web page, but mine shows installed already. Can't verify if it still be sent to GTAb or not. Might want to try that route.

Glad, I am not the only one having the app not found issue. Thought I was having problems with the market. I have had problems finding other apps that have been mentioned in the GTablet forum.
Anybody have a solution or a better suggestion as to which app to use that will allow me and my wife and kids video chat. Would really like to find an app that would allow this while not necessarily connected to the internet but still connected to a wifi home network.

As far as I know, there is software that allows video conferencing, but I highly doubt that they have been ported to google apps. I know most of those out there are meant for corporate use.
but there is a simple solution to video over your home wifi. move your location so you are in close proximity to your wife and talk to her....lol.
All joking aside I wish I could help you, but until someone creates an app that allows video over private wifi, your kinda stuck.
But I can confirm that yahoo video does work.

I thought thier is a new Skype release just out.

It's possible to run my ReelPortal app within your own network, because the server software is also available for free. However, there's a catch, when you first start the ReelPortal app, it needs internet access to retrieve data to start up. After that, you can unplug the internet, and it would work fine. Another catch is P2P mode would not work without internet access, because P2P actually relies on an Adobe server. But within your own network, Client-Server mode would be fine, because you'd be using your own server.
ReelPortal is designed to run indefinitely, so unless you exit the app, you don't need to reconnect the internet. When set up properly, it can serve as a video intercom within your home/office.
A brief description of ReelPortal: http://reelportal.blogspot.com/p/read-me.html
If you're interested, here's a long thread on using it with the gTab:

This thread, with confirmation from a Skype staff member, seems to say that it IS coming for Android but will be locked to a carrier - Verizon. Not sure what this means in terms of XDA being able to hack it for other devices, but there you have it.

Of course. It seems like everything is going the way of the AT&T/iPhone. "No one else can have it." That's crap.

GPS

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/08/tethergps-brings-gps-navigation-to-nook-color-in-a-manner-of-sp/
The article above is for the nook, but there is nothing stopping us from enjoying the same benefits.

Forces closes on my tab....VEGAn 5.1
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...

We can always use something lik sharegps and use our bluetooth capability to tether our gps.
But the more options the better if it works on our tablet.

force close here as well on latest tnt-lite. i was hoping this would work so i wouldn't need to connect wifi tether and bluetooth

Yea Bluetooth is working great but would be super awesome to only use 1 app to tether GPS. TetherGPS is not able to connect properly my gtab says "not receiving location"
Hope this can get resolved soon
On vegan 1b5

Ive been using a app called "bluegps" found it from a thread here in the forums, works great with my avlabs gps. I use autopilot for my maps, but once you have tyhe gps tethered, it does not really matter what type of map u use. Just make sure you have "mock locations" enabled in bluegps and all works well.

How did you get CoPilot??
I'm trying to buy from the Market, but don't see it there. Can't tweak Market enough to be able to purchase...

Personally i see it, ive also heard of others on these forums who cant see things in the market can try to side load it, either buy it from a store or buy it from the market using an android phone and then side load it that way. Seems different market fixs and different roms seem to see different things on the market, try market enabler, saw a post for it here on the forums recently. I tried it and found it worked well. Also try the different market fixs.

[Q] best turn by turn navigation

Just investigating which one are you using for your Android phone.
I have tested Sygic which is nice but FC is high and Motonav which has good maps but UI is really bad...
So if you could help me to decide and tell me what is available for our andoid hd2 would be nice.
tnx

I use the Google Navigation, works quite good.
Only downside is that it doesn't show the speed.
I've also used Sygic Aura, but I didn't like it.

other downside is that it isn't offline navigation and uses phone data connection for maps.
I've tried it also but didn't tell you that i need "offline" maps too in the first post

I use also Google Navigation, and it is very simple and usefull.

I use Navigon at the moment, quite good but doesnt always take you the way you want to go, but all sat nav's suffer this. The trouble of knowing local roads I guesss

Im using sygic without any issue,but make sure you are using v.8.24 !
Hope it helps ;-)

If you plan your route at home, it will cache the maps needed,
so this way it works offline.
But I don't know for sure, and if you change your route, you will need a data connection.
While I was googling this, I found mapdroyd.com
seems to be Google Maps, the offline version (haven't tried myself)

I've tried most of them, but found iGo MyWay to be the best by far.

hi
I use the Google Navigation, works quite good.

any nevigation data for Pakistan ?

i use copilot, have modified the voice (italian) using funny sentences from public domain tomtom voices.. it works fine imho.

How did you get it on the HD2? Do you have to be running Sense?

Ah, I couldn't find it on the Market, and I was reading and thought it might be affiliated with HTC Sense or something.

Google maps will come with an offline version soon. http://www.androidworld.nl/84790/google-maps-navigatie-binnenkort-met-offline-kaarten/ (dutch link) This will save a lot in data traffic. I hope they add speed and speedcams to it as well.
The most usefull part of google maps for me is the very acurate traffic information, by far the best I've seen.

i use Aura sygic, it's the best GPS i've try on Android 2.3.3, can use it offline, just download maps before.

I have only used google navigator. I was most impressed by its ability to track my location and announce voice prompts when the screen is off, which saved a lot of the battery and the necessity to have a dash/windshield mount.

i use Copilot live. but i missed my iGo and tomtom on winmo

Try nDrive, it's ok, but I preffer Sygic

Can someone tell me how to make Here maps work on the Watch 3? I've downloaded and can see my location. What I can't seem to do is enter a destination location. Well, I can enter one, but nothing happens. Also, if I try to download a state map, I receive the error message saying I have no space, but I have 4 GB available on the watch.

Looks like Here needs an update for latest tizen/watch3
Not asking for the storage permision so can't download offline maps.

Am I the only one that can't see Here, either on the watch or the store?

Another fan of Here We Go maps!

So, it turns out that Australia doesn't get Here maps on the Watch3 by default
However, if you VPN your phone to the US, you can install it from there. Worked for me this morning. The app works fine once you turn the VPN off too.

Here we go pushed an update that made more faster and has offline capabilities.
