Hi,
If you are using navigation software like:
- CoPilot
- Sygic Mobile Maps
- Sygic Aura
- Navigon
- iGo
- Or others
Please share your experience here. Let us know what you have found.
Does the GPS lock as expected?
Is it working flawlessly?
Don't forget to inform the software version as well.
Thanks.
Copilot works great. Locks quick and is accurate.
I own Sygic as well but the install / activation is too much of a pain to try as it was already activated on my N1

Using AOSP GB 0.6 on my Nexus one.
Navigon FC at start.
Hope for an update soon
Sygic aura works perfect
Navigon also FC at start
Navigon dont work
Same thing for me Navigon (european version, I'm french) does not work on my nexus S (force close at startup).
Copilot seems to work fine even if I did not really test it yet
CoPilot running like a champ, but I'm still pissed off at how long they took to update it for Froyo.
I'm finding the built in app to be just fine for me.
Sygic Mobille Maps 10 wont't work on my NEXUS S
Hello NEXUS S owners,
I don't get Mobile Maps 10 working on my NEXUS S.
Installing is no problem, but it wont't run...
My S isn't Rooted yet, is that the problem?, or because there isn't a real SD card?
Sygic Aura 2.1 is running fine.
Any idees?
Sygic is excellent, just a little expensive. CoPilot works fine except that the maps are outdated.
CoPilot full North America 2.5 GB (purchased it during Turkey Sales day)
since TomTom has not yet created a working Android version yet
I bought CoPilot Live as soon as it released, back on my G1. I had it on my Nexus One too but since Google Nav became available in the UK I've used it less and less and since I upgraded to the Nexus S in December, I am yet to reinstall CoPilot.
It was great but I just love Google Nav, especially as there is a big new bypass and road layout changes in my town and Google was, obviously, able to use it the very day it opened!
Anyone has a problem with the speed of those kind of apps?
I once saw Sygic on a Nexus One and thought it was the most sluggish thing I've ever seen. It took many seconds to input an address, to update the map, to navigate through the menus. To do anything, actually.
Have they updated it and made it faster by now?
What's

My nexus S also like that
So How can we fix that problem?
I have tried CoPilot and thought it was pretty decent, and fairly accurate, but a little difficult to figure out and set things in the menus. Once you get used to things it isn't that bad though.
I had no real complaints about the stock Sprint Navigation on my Epic, other than it takes so darn long to first start up. By the time you get it started up you're already to your destination. LOL
I'm currently TRYING to get Sygic Aura running, but I am finding it most annoying that I have to download maps via the phone, and the download is ridiculously slow! I chose only ONE small map for my state, and it is taking way too long. It has been downloading now for 1 hour and 10 minutes and it is not even quite halfway finished. That is just STUPID! I actually tried it a couple days ago and when I saw how long it would take I just gave up, but figured I'd give it another shot. I might just give up again and trash it, unless I find another source for the maps. I can only imagine how long it is going to take to download the maps of the 8 other states I really NEED for this to be functional for me.

No root is not a problem here.
I have rooted i9023, and Mobile Maps 10 also does not work
One apk give me only FC, another showing first screen of application and then closing it.
I used to use it on HTC's Hero and worked perfectly...
I dont know whats wrong...
Just wondering. My O2x can gps fix in a few seconds up to a few minutes at the longest. REcently I went to s'pore for a holiday but I tried for several hours and several places i couldn't get a lock.
Do any singaporeans face the same gps fix problem?
I'm using stock ROMv10e SEA version and because of this lock problem, i even used 'gps fix' app. Still couldn't lock. I never have any problems when I'm in indonesia.
thanks

Maybe you had no data connection or data roaming deactivated so that no AGPS was possible?
M.
I had data connection. I was using star hub. Without data connection google maps wouldn't let me run the app.
I also tried sygic maps. Couldn't lock the gps. Could it be that lg set my phone to be working in indonesia where I bought the phone?

i couldn't find it from my O2x. From PC it says that this app is not compatible with my XL (mobile provider) LG-P990. That's strange isn't it?
I Deffinitly Tried everything, I tried the hardware fix, Change The Pool To Israel, France, Europe, everywhere, I tried the gps doctors , nothing works..
I just can't find any satelites, in the gps aid app when i press the GPS doctor it's telling me that the gps status is off.. is there anything that I didn't try and could work?
Please, I'm Desprit..
I Tried and the problem is at every rom
I'm Right now using ICS RC3.1 By onecosmic..

try gps status , to see if is an app error from navigator and other gps programs or RC3.1 probleme , and if are ICS probleme try first to flash devil led kernel
and a wipe cache
I though onecosmic's RC 3.X was only for the i9000 and not i9001.
Well I Tried and looked at the gps status, I didn't really get what am i sepoused to do there, I reset and cleared all gps data and downloaded it after wards..
the app didn't show any errors ..
Try to get GPS Aids from market. Had the same problem and that fixed my gps
Tried the gps aids too... Ain't working.. anything else?...
When I tried the gps doctor at gps aids, it showed me that the gps mode status is not working (the cube near it is red) and after trying the setup and the fix everything possibility it still ain't working... any idea?

Try to download the GPS test and install it, then go to settings and select clear agps, then update agps.
Oh and dont try the gps inside your house! Try it in the middle of the street! Gps signal is always reeeally weak or undetectable inside a house.
Unhappy to say, still didn't work!
Can you post the exact ROM and kernel version you are using?
Also try the following. Disable wifi, reboot phone, try GPS test.
I had GPS problems a while ago and the workaround was to boot the phone with wifi disabled. Something todo with init scripts messing up GPS/BT.
When in Google maps do you get the GPS icon in the status bar when trying to GPS fix?
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STlb...xt=C3c039cbUDOEgsToPDskJOGd0pTyqyB6SPWL6OcwDB
Better to just send it back to samsung for them to fix if it's under warranty. If not, just sell it and get another one. I really like my SGS but i've given up hope for gps. I've just accepted it doesn't work and be happy the phone's great in everything else (like sound). Was kind of gutted having paid so much for a phone with a non-working gps but to be honest i have little need for a gps so when i need one i just use a dedicated one.
Now I'm using RC4.2 ICS By Onecosmic, Gps Still aint working well, I do get the gps icon... but still, my location ain't really accurate and I cant navigate or anything..
I tried the video that have been posted, None improvment...
Is there any thing else?..
The GPS issue with the i9000 is a mystery to me. I've tried software and hardware fixes to no avail with GB based ROMs. However, when I switched to Slim's ICS ROM my device started to register satelites again with the GPS test app from the market. Despite this when I open the maps app it takes forever to get a fix, so long infact that I give up long before it ever does
Same issue AOKP Milestone 4 ICS. Nothing on GPS Status.
I use market app GPS aid.

Hi,
I am experiencing strongly problem with GPS right now. On my N1 I have MIUI.us 2.3.23 (GB) and for some time I can't use GPS applications (except Google Maps which works perfectly!). I was trying Runkeeper, Endomondo, GPSFix - always the same problem - GPS can't find actual fix. I tried wipe to factory data reset, reflash - still nothing. But, Google Maps as I said earlier works great! It takes about 5-10 seconds to find actual position. I have no idea what could be wrong...
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

i had a problem with GPS to it was giving me inaccurate data. The problem for me was that MIUI`s GPS settings was for north america i changed the settings to europe
Steps:
1) go to settings
2) my location
3) GPS configuration
NTP Server Address: 3.europe.pool.ntp.org
SUPL Server Address: supl.google.com
SUPL Server Port: 7276
When applying those settings my GPS readings became accurate
I have the same problem.
Nexus one,
newer version of miui ( 2.3.30) it has the gps setup you just posted by default.
No gps fix on copilot, not sure if google maps catches it (it does by the internet connection on maps, but the gps is not catching a fix)
any other solutions ? i did full wipe aswell and no luck
Oh, and im in uk, but just drove through whole eu union and it wasnt working in poland, germany, belgium and france)
I used 2.3.30 from miuiandroid.com and GPS worked fine for me. Perhaps give that one a go.

I do have 2.3.30 from their website as i posted :| the damn thing just doesnt work, i even did radio re-install as i had the newest one and still same **** :/ i remember i was playing at some point back with the roms and it just stopped working, but i didint care at the moment as gmaps was enough for me. Now that i have a car its v. annoying.
In the co-pilot and gps test it doesnt show any sattelites at all. I surely hope its a software issue, but how do i go about fixing it ? what else can i do apart from reflashing roms, and radios ?
Oh so far i tried it on miui and cyanogen 7.. no luck..
Try the app GPS Status

After the applying the OTA to my developer edition One, the bus tracker app that I had been using crashed immediately upon opening when it tried to use GPS to determine my location. I thought it was the app problem so I downloaded another one. This worked fine until I let it use my GPS to find nearby buses, it crashed as well.
It doesn't seem to affect all GPS using app, as Google map seems to work fine so far.
Post here if you also have location service related problem after the update.
