Gps data to multiple apps???

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.

google maps 2.2

google maps 2.2 has been released, and it now allows you to get from point a to point b using public transit, even gives you the prices of the public transit as well...
problem is, does anyone konw where to get the the 2.2 cab? i've been to googles site and downloaded the link on my comp, and that ends up being ver 2.1.0.10...i've gone to google.com/gmm and it gives links to download 2.1 as well.
does anyone know where to find 2.2? all the news sites that have talked about it today haven't given a link to the 2.2 download cab. any help?

can get it here from desktop or mobile: http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/index.html
or cab below:
-edit- sorry, looks like it is version 2.1.0.10, even tho the site says 2.2

when you download google maps from either your mobile device, either via text or google.com/gmm or download from you desktop then transfer to your mobile device...the version is still 2.1.0.10 instead of 2.2
does anyone know where to get 2.2?

sweet...thanx so much man, and sorry about my post earlier, how did you find the 2.2 cab if you dont mind me asking? cuz i swear its nowhere (at present) on their website, i'd tried justabout every link google had

id really like this as well..thanks for informing me of the news

the file size is still exactly the same?
in fact i just checked, they have the same version number too..
im really interested in getting this too,
does anybody have their hands on it?

i was just about to ask...maybe my phone wasn't uninstalling 2.1 correctly, because it still shows up as that version, anyone have 2.2?

yeh, the file i posted is NOT version 2.2, its version 2.1.0.10.
Still on a hunt for 2.2....

I just clicked on the "Maps (Download)" link from my Tilt and got a 404 Not Found error. Maybe they're working on it...

can still use this link:
http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/stp-js.html
click on 'Windows Mobile' at the bottom

This is good news. I'm a big fan of google maps. Now if we can only find gmaps 2.2 ... I know several bb users were able to use and others are having problems with the official llnk.

How do I get there using public transportation?
New! Get transit directions in more than 50 cities on BlackBerry and many Java-enabled phones.
That tells me that there's not a WM update yet. Java I sort of see, but I wonder why BlackBerry gets an update before WM does?

I just got there on my tilt.. no issues. Thanx for the link

You got what version... 2.1.0.10 or 2.2?
Interesting article I came across ..
"Unfortunately, the upgraded Mobile Maps won't work on all phones that support the older version (including my Motorola Q). It only works for BlackBerry handsets and most other Java-based phones." quoted from here .. http://techblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/06/google-mobile-maps-adds-mass-t.html
In other words .. there is a 2.2 version but ONLY for jave phones and BB right now
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008/06/get-bus-and-train-directions-on-go-with.html
all it adds is mass transit directions (train, bus, ferry) nothing too huge

Hi I have a silly question to ask about google maps
Can I use google maps only through GPS? I don't have a data plan.

No, data is required for google maps. I think that the gmaps 2.2 version is the Java based gmaps, I think, at least from the video I saw at wmexperts.

No you can't.

I'm afraid not. It's because google maps rely on cell phone towers to update your location. And for it to do that, you need a data plan.
But you have the option of using Tom Tom, IGO, or Mio, etc ... because they don't require a data plan. But these navigators require maps and are not free.

I installed the 2.2 and this is what I noticed:
*NEW "Favorites..." menu option, to allow you add a star/favorites on locations and contacts.
*In "Directions": There is now a pull down menu to allow (current location, contacts, favorite) instead of a check-box for current location.
*It is a even bit more snapper than 2.1 and it has a smooth transition when doing "my location" when gps is on. (Before it had problems recognizing gps is on when doing my location even though gps was on and working.)
-It still reads 2.1 version even when all of the stuff above is added
-There is no Transit option, even in cities that have Transit routes on Google Maps on the desktop computer Internet.
Does anybody have the same result?
Also, does anybody can get Transit, and why in the video they are showing it works. (is official update only for Blackberries like on the video)
ANSWERS PLEASE...

DeviceID

Hi,
I need a little help.
I've not had my Diamond for long and new to WinMo and I'm trying to put TT7 on it, but I need to get the DeviceID, but don't know where to locate it?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
DG.

If you already installed TT then connect your phone to PC and locate navigator.bif file! openit with Notepad and there you find a lots of info, and your device ID

Also, device ID should popup when you launch the program with directions to activate the installed map. ( at leat with Tom Tom 6

If you had be using a purchased version of TT then you would not need to locate the DeviceID

Hey, had the same problem m8
heres what you do
open tomtom7, on the map in the botton right hand corner is the time and right below is satelite connecton indicator. Tap that and then tap ''version'', also botton right hand corner. And BAM there is your DeviceID.
Deeds.

Thanks guys!
I'm going to try that tonight... hope I don't have too much trouble with it... after readying here, it seems people are having a bit of a mare with it!
Windoze9t8, I know I should be using a purchased one, but after coughing up 350 queens heads on a phone, another 200 on a piece of software if a little extreme! (well, thats the cost on the tomtom site!)
I got tt7, it says its for HTC, hope it works!
Wish me luck!

Yes but where to buy TT7?

Indeed you wont need a device ID when you have purchased and or use tomtom maps legally you can see your device ID.
You cant buy tt7 (yet) tt6 will work

No joy with TT7 anyway!
The Home2Go or whatever it is could not install / run after I copied it to the phone? I'm either doing something totally wrong or I got the wrong file.
It was the legal one you get from tomtom website, then you install that and then the maps... apparently!
Any other free apps? I tried google maps, but it uses a data connection and I just want to use the GPS so it doesn't be costing me anymore monies!
Just out of interest (legal copy or not) when I connect to the phone via ActiveSync, do I just generally copy apps there and run them, or is there a way to install them from my machine to the phone via ActiveSync? For TT7 I created a folder called 'Navigation' and put it in there (obviously from reading above, it didn't work!)
If only it a drag and drop hey...
DG

sorry if i am wrong, but nobody here know that the device id is in:
settings/system/device information/identity ? are you speaking about IMEI? isn't this the device identity? i think there is also a key combination you "dial" and the phone will return you the IMEI..i don't remember which.

This is not true. If you'd previously been using TT on a different device then you will need to give the DeviceID to TomTom (direct or via www.ttcode.com) in order to reactivate your maps on the new device. I had to do this when moving from a C500 to an M600.

The DeviceID is a 'TomTom-ism' - a code that TomTom uses to uniquely identify your device. It must be obtained through some process involving fixed identities of the device and so whilst it could well be derived from IMEI it is not actually the IMEI itself.

Give the ID yes, but you dont have to locate it as the code splash screen appears with the code on - which you then provide to the site ttcode.com, if one is trying to find the code in the bif file then that method is being used as a hacked version of TT - repacked
Although you have the ability to activate TT on other devices every six months TTs agreement indicates you may only use the product once on one device.

it is £50 for the Western Europe version of TT 7.** maps and the application is around on the net.
Dont get me wrong I'm not having a go - just making a point. I am really P*Off with TT as they do not offer an upgrade policy for people who have early version maps like myself.
Good Luck

AFAIK the only official way to get TT7 is by purchasing a Diamond with it pre-installed like the German XDA form O2 (maybe other countries too) then you can get the 7.2 version maps from the TT website.

I found a cab file and got it working. the site seems to have the .jad file

It works fine on my Tilt (and it uninstalled the previous version).
Why doesn't Google Maps Mobile have an auto-update function?

has anyone in the UK managed to get the Street View feature working. Ive tried to get some street views of london but I just get an error message saying "street view not available" :-(

no more cut and paste?
dunno if anyone else noticed but there is no more cut and paste with this release / sans iPhone functionality. I may have been in the minority of folks to actually use this feature, especially with goecaching and being able to just cut and paste the coords into the search bar and go..
Anyone know if its possible to have different versions of the same app installed on the same device? I tried renaming the google directory but that disables the app..

Very very nice. That street view is pretty cool.

I have installed this but cannot seem to be able to get street view... is this not available in the UK?

[APP] JustAnotherMaps -[R]- 16.12.2010 -[V]- 1.5.0.0

Name: JustAnotherMaps
It`s Just Another Maps based on OpenStreetMaps maps data. It does not use Bing maps. This app supports these features:
• Zooming
• Routing
• Searching
• GPS/Cellular/Wi-Fi location.
The main benefit is that OpenStreetMaps have a better map precision and geographical coverage especially in Western Europe, Asia and etc. The trial mode has all features except routing.
This app is built on these projects: OpenStreetMaps, CloudMade, DeepEarth, Nominatim.
Updates:
Version 1.5: Speed up the map downloading process
Version 1.4: Improved multi-touch behavior, added “follow me”, added "route here from my current position", fixed some minor bugs.
Version 1.3: Added a locate me feature and fixed non-US locale issue
Version 1.2: Added a "Locate me" feature.
Version 1.1: Added a "run under lock screen".
Download Link: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=099fddd0-5404-e011-9264-00237de2db9e

Hi tested the test version. Please some things:
Wishes:
- Add a button for center the map to your current position (like in bing maps)
- Add to the test version a way to test the routing (maybe limited to 10 km radius)
- Add a list for "Favourite Places" and a "Home Place" (needed for fast routing)
- Maybe you can get more input here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
Corrections:
- If i search for the city "bingen" i get "Ooops something is going wrong. Please restart the application"
- Multiple finger zooming is a little bit slow (hangs)
- Scroll left right with fingers is also little bit slow (compared to ta maps / bing maps)
Conclusion:
Nice work. If i can test routing and it works well i will definetly buy it.
I would love to see your app getting in the future more to a nice little openstreetmap navigation app.

Hi,
thanks for this info its really great that you find a time to add some words on it.
"Locate me" feature will be added in next version right now Im testing it. I will look at scrolling and multitouching zooming.
Is this error message appear everytime you try to search something or only on word "bingen"? On my phone everything is okey with that query as I understand its a city in Germany=)

yes. its only with the word "bingen" and yes ... all the time dont know whats up there!

No problem with "bingen" on my end (paid app).
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express

Hi all,
I`ve got a user that have a potential error on samsung Omnia with routing. If somebody try to use this application on omnia please replay the feedback here. It would super usefull for me because I dont have such device on hands and cannot test it.
Thanks in advance,
Victor

Hi. I bought your app and will now test routing here in germany a bit.
What really would be a benefit for routing is:
- Map targeting to position your currently driving - walking like a compass.
- To add start position by searching the start (e.g. streetname) or "current position" and also to add end position by searching.
- Could you add something like "current speed" at top right corner?
Thanks for the "locate me" ... it works, but best to add a button or?
Btw. I'am a c# developer for 8 years now. Maybe i can help?

Sounds Good! Probably a silly question but If I am in usa, does the tool load the maps automatically? If I travel to south AMerica or Europe is it the same? Do we store the maps in the main memory or should we use data roaming? Thanks and happy new year

I'm wondering when google and ms stop there noncense and bring out google maps.

tested today routing with my car. really: it makes no sense having routing enabled and not moving the map with current location in centered mode. you do not really want the car driver to push every 10 seconds the "locate me" button, or?
another thing is to fade out the from/to location box on top if you start "routing" ...
Looking forward to hear anything new from your side for further updates.

Just bought your app because it looked promising - especially the routing.
Tested three smaller cities in Germany... each time the app crashes.
- Nordstemmen
- Wankheim
- Langenfeld
Maybe OpenStreetMap does not recognize the cities, i don't know.
But why does the app crashes because of that?
Routing:
Would love to have direct input of start and end.
Right now you can search a position, then point at it on the map and hope, it's correct.
Would also be nice if the map turns in the direction of driving (if this is possible)
Can the app run in the foreground all the time?
Rest is mentioned before.
At the monent the app is unuseable for routing.
I can imagine the hard work you had so far.
I hope you can fix the problems and make your app becomming a cool one.
Sorry for my bumpy english...

Nice job, looks promising. The routing feature is a good think that was missing ! But it needs some improvements. The most important to begin :
- realtime navigation : a step by step navigation, or at least (to begin) a realtime update of the position (like said oOp)...
- distance and time estimation when making a route, with options to choose shorter or faster path.

At the same moment it is on the same level as Bing maps:
1. Can locate me but does not want to use GPS
2. When routed and located does not update to nw position when one is moving
Those two things need to come in ASAP, a indicator when it s using GPS and when GSM location would help for now so I could see if GPS sucks or it does not use it. Second point needs attntion ASAP to make it usable. There was no Bing maps update mentioned for january so you are our last hope.

In this version the application does not store data on the phone between launching its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

Hi. Nice work, it really shows some POIs in Costa Rica, my country, not like Bing, it doesn't show a thing!
My big problem is that I can only download free apps from the marketplace or the trial versions. I REALLY, REALLY want to buy your app, also my girlfriend and 2 more friends that have WP7.
Please tell me if there is a way that I can pay you through Paypal and you give me some kind of workaround to install the full version. Please! I can't pay because my Credit Card needs to be from the USA, and it is from Costa Rica. Please help me, I am willing to pay twice of tha app's value.

As I understand you can use your card even it was issued outside of USA. You need to change settings on your computer: Locale, Location, In browser. And you need change it on these sites too: account.live.com, profile.live.com.

Hi Victor, thanks for the answer. I know you can use credit cards outside the US, but that is if you are in a country like UK where Marketplace is supported. In my country it is not supported (Costa Rica, Central America).
I have tried all the things you said but no luck. The only thing that works for me is setting everything to the US so at least I can download free apps.
Regards.

Its strange that you cannot buy the app. I`ve got a few friends in Russia that sucсessfully can buy apps even in Russia the phone is not supported like in Costa Rica.
