I use Dutty's6.5 leo4 ROM.(which is best ever rom for me) but after 1 month of using my location changed to chatham-kent city that I never was .Playing with location setting didn't help so then I restored from back-up file and "My location" changed back to right place (san francisco ca). Now after 3 days it's changed to chatham-kent again.
What's going on? Anyone?
Google maps and TT7.9 only and it's works fine but nor of them has time zone to GPS sync feature like iGo8.

Hi all,
I have just got an MDA vario 3. I can use tomtom 6 with the built in gps fine but google maps does not have any options for gps at all! No where to set it up nothing !
Its google maps 1.7.1.4
Do I need to download any other software to enable the gps option?
It is set for com4 in setting in WM6 and Tomtom can find it and use it…
Any help?
The option is called "Show My Location". We forewarned, though, it doesn't function the same way a true GPS navigation app works. Basically, I use it to let me know when I'm getting close to a turn ... Google Maps does not (as far as I know) go turn by turn automatically based on location.
Edit: By the way, you have to turn on Show My Location before you have the option of using your current GPS location to plot your directions. You won't even see the option if you haven't told Google you have GPS with the Show My Location menu item.
thank you, I was looking for an option that said GPS!!!
Silly Me!
I wonder if any one has the same problem as I do. I upgraded google maps mobile to version 3.3.1 and deleted the old version during the install process. Since the opal has no build in gps, the positioning was done through the mobile network masts. Since the upgrade this function, also called quick location (using german version so term may be incorect) does not work very well.
Has anyone an old cab file of a previous version (not 3.3.1) of google maps mobile?
thanks a lot
EDIT: Managed to find some old direct download links in google. Fortunately you can still download the old versions directly from google. You just need the download links (or the exact Version number).

I just tried the 3.3.1 version of google maps. It zoomed in to some place in usa on first start, so I thought I have same problem as you (I am in austria). But when I zoomed in to my home location, i realized that the blue dot with circle around that indicates my location is still in same position as it was in earlier version.
Maybe that's what made you think it doesn't work anymore?

I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps its best if I describe the error I had:
I installed 3.3.1 and used its location function. Everything worked fine and the Blue Point started moving with my position (You have to know I drove in a Bus with wifi internet access). An hour later when I started google maps again, I got my new location, but after a couple of minutes, my location was obviously not correct anymore because, the blue point showed my location on the map where I was an hour earlier. Reseting Google Maps caused it to show the correct position again for like one minute. After this minute my position on the map was again my earlier position.
After the downgrade everything works fine for me again
Try to install this:
HTCSensorSDK Disabler.CAB
Deactive the HTCSensorSDK with the Fix and Googlemaps works well. Also with Version 4.0.0.
Hey all,
For some reason my location in Latitude doesn't update in the background unless I go into the app. I've got it set to update automatically.
Any ideas?

Mine was working for a few weeks then just stopped. Not sure if it's because I'm usually only running on 2G? (since Froyo 3G is unreliable in the house).
I nearly always have a 3G connection. It can't be that for me, surely.
Bumping for sweet justice
Does anyone have any idea why Latitude won't automatically update my location unless I launch the app?
Two things:
Have you checked your latitude security/privacy settings in the menu? You need to have that set to update in the background.
Also, enable the google latitude location history http://www.google.com/latitude/apps and check, i have found that my phone reports in the maps app as if it had not been updating but it in fact had. It just does not refresh the icon in maps when it does that.
If not those two items, then I do not know what.
Thanks snlu178,
I had enabled background updating. I've managed to see my location history now that's it's built up (you don't get to see it right after signing up) and I can see that it's updating in the background. Thanks a lot for the advice.

I had the same problem and I just cleared all Maps data from the Applications menu in Settings, and made sure I tapped Join Latitude instead of just enabling the Latitude layer.

Oh, just tried that, lets see how it goes
Remember it only uses cell tower location while in the background, not true gps satellites. So you won't see your location move in real time, it will only update once every 10 minutes or so.
My location and current city on weather app is not correct, my gps works fine latitude shows where I am, but on the big clock it shows diffarent city and time than where I am. I delete all cities on weather app, but current city not showing in that cities anyway, I started the phone rebooting and a while it shows my location and then finding Fort Lauderdale and shows as if the current place which I am totally in a diffarent location and time zone.
Any suggestions?

There is a setting that allows location based services to be turned on. You must have accidentally turned it off... Check Settings -> Location and Security and make sure Use Wireless Networks is turned ON.
It's the location, stupid.
I was having some troubles with Evernote and Rainy Days FCing on start, couldn't figure out why. Turns out it's because they were expecting hardware to be there that isn't -- the GPS. Downloading an app called "My Fake Location" and running it completely fixed the issue!
Now I just wish I could get it to fake location based on Wi-Fi location data. Anyone know how to do that?
