Re: GPS on Android phone
 

I'm struggling with google already I've got some of the monthly routes saved and I can't get them to work properly on the phone... Maybe I'm a chimp but its becoming a pain already...

N Drive on HTC Desire, works a lot better than maps app. All the maps are there so don't need a signal to get maps or work out routes.

Used on bike with earphone and works OK, no volume problems. Only problem is battery life.

N Drive from the market?.

Sygic mobile maps. Traffic info, auto map update, 3d maps.
Tried co- pilot didn't like it.

If you have a problem getting a GPS fix you could try this (taken from elsewhere) do this from somewhere with a WiFi connection:

• Download App 'GPS Status'
• Turn phone off
• Take your SIM out
• Power on the device
• Turn WiFi on
• Turn GPS on
• Open application: 'GPS Status'
• Either
  A: Go into its Settings menu and click on GPS and Sensors
  B: Press Menu go in to Tools

• Click Manage A-GPS state
• Click Reset
• Click Manage A-GPS state again
• Click Download
• Now put your phone on a stable, straight surface in order to enable the phone to get a lock.
• This time, you’ll see your phone get the lock back way faster than before.
• Put your SIM back in and use the network to secure a quick GPS fix as well.

The above just worked for me, my GPS seemed to stop a while ago, I have a flashed ROM and it used to work fine with it but suddenly stoppeded.

I found this and tried it and all is good again.

I use google maps to find a destination and then 'Navigate' from there.

I also have Co-Pilot which isn't bad, I bought it a couple of years ago when I had my Hero

aye i dont get the same problems witht he insert coin rom however i do get the invalid packet issue. Any adeas that that is (usually when updating apps)

Re: GPS on Android phone
 

Just use Navigation its good enough and free

Also get your phone rooted so you can remove all the crappy apps that usually come with it. Then get a custom ROM put on so you can get the latest firmware updates instead of waiting for carrier specific ones :-)
The site below is great for info and apps etc
