Guest mike-oh Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 I thought I had that happen the other day... but wasn't sure! :) P doh! have got to the bottom of this. I tried it with a few mobile numbers and got worried it was finding my mates houses!? "wtf" I thought. Well it turns out the contacts it was showing had addresses associated them already. So why does it ask you to choose a number or email address?! now to try GPS
Guest tony_man Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Fantastic! My only gripe is cache location. I tried to install to SD card but it ended up on device memory. I moved the installation to SD and its work fine, but Cache stilll on device memory. I put a support call in to Google; if they get back to me I'll copy any response to here!
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 I could post a tweaked CAB, wonder if they'd mind? P PS GPS supports as long as your GPS is set up correctly for the GPS intermediary driver (the GPS settings applet).
Guest tsutton Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 PS GPS supports as long as your GPS is set up correctly for the GPS intermediary driver (the GPS settings applet). I thought mine was, as it worked for other apps. But not GMM. Got the steps of setting it up? :)
Guest Webreaper Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Good app, but a couple of gripes for me: 1. The data usage is so heavy!! Just browsing around a bit (over wi-fi) I managed to clock up 0.3MB in 2 minutes. For my drive from Scotland to Surrey to see the family, that'd get a bit costly over GPRS - even with some of the bigger data tariff allowances these days... 2. The search clearly needs some work. E.g., search for 'Guildford' and it'll find it, but search for 'Farnham' (5 miles away) and it won't. Yet if I search for a Farnham postcode it finds it. :) Not bad for a first attempt though.
Guest smeg36 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I could post a tweaked CAB, wonder if they'd mind? Does it relocate both the app and cache to the storage card? That's my only gripe with GMM. I'm trying to decide between WLS and GMM, and prefer the speed of GMM but hate that it stores everything on device memory.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Unfortunately not... I could fix the CAB to install the app to Storage Card, but to move the cache they need to tweak the app. I've written to them, no response yet tho... P
Guest Confucious Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 So it looks like we can't use GPS on SmartPhones because : Unfortunately, there are two complications. First, only Pocket PC has this control panel. Smartphone does not, which makes the GPS Intermediate Driver unusable on Smartphone. We hope to announce a solution to this very soon. Second, some Pocket PC OEMs hid the GPS control panel. However, it can be unhidden by going into the registry and deleting any "Redirect" or "Hide" keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings. Is this correct?
Guest nip2k Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I notice that when you install the aplication in WM5 a Tracking Location (GPS) option appear... but when you install in 2003SE it doesnt. I have a HW6515 with WM2003SE, anyone know how to enable this gps option in this case???? Thanks in advance.
Guest tsutton Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 So it looks like we can't use GPS on SmartPhones because : Is this correct? Yes. Smartphone do not have GPS icon like Pocket PC do.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Well, that's not true. Install CamerAware on a Smartphone and use the 'Auto' connection, and it'll configure your GPSID for you :) P
Guest CaptainZok Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 Try this fix for WM5 Smartphone, its worked for my Lobster 700TV. Found on XDA Devs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293018
Guest Transform Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 i downloaded the app but then i couldnt locate it on my phone anywhere! where do downloaded files get put on c500's?
Guest aristweed Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 Hey guys, has anyone figured out the reg fix to store map data on the storage card? I went from 11m to 4m left, so I'm hurting for memory on my WM5 device! Any help would be great.. hopefully as simple as a reg fix!!
Guest aristweed Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 Please DO!!!! I'm now REALLY low on memory!!! I could post a tweaked CAB, wonder if they'd mind? P PS GPS supports as long as your GPS is set up correctly for the GPS intermediary driver (the GPS settings applet).
Guest fneeb Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 To get Google Maps working with a GPS receiver: 1) Pair the GPS receiver with your WM device using BlueTooth 2) Add 1 incoming, and 1 outgoing port to the GPS device under the BlueTooth Device settings (I used COM8 as Incoming, COM0 as Outgoing) 3) (SKIP THIS IF YOU HAVE GPS NATIVE) Get Mobile Registry Editor (here), connect the phone up over USB to ActiveSync, and go to HKLM/Control Panel/GPS Settings, change Hide to 0, and soft reset the phone to get the reg mod to take hold 5) Go to Settings, System, GPS and set the Program port to whatever you set as the incoming com port, then set the Hardware port to what you set as the outgoing com port. Confirm changes. 6) Run Google Maps Mobile, enable GPS from the menu (helps if your GPS device is up and running with a sat fix first).
Guest Megaman81 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 Does the Google maps software give you turn by turn direction when hooked up to GPS? If so,,this would be awsome!!!
Guest Confucious Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 And the latest google maps works with the built in GPS on the Athena....
