Does Map4PDA kill Kaiser GPS?

[Guest Lidberg]

So here's my story - I bought my AT&T Tilt last week. I stayed with the default Tilt ROM (until someone comes up with something better). Everything is working fine. I try out the GPS by running QuickGPS and then Google Maps. It worked great the first day and for the next week I fought with it and never did get it working again.

So, I broke down and hard reset my phone. It's a pain, yes, but oh well. It has been working just fine for the past couple of days. I have tried many different GPS apps including Pocket Streets, Google Maps, Windows Live Search, GPS Test, GPSinfo, Street Atlas, Virtual Earth, VisualGPSce. All of them work good and I can always get a signal lock within 30 seconds.

NOTE: I never ran QuickGPS.

Now today on my way home, some putz decides to create a huge traffic jam on I-94 west out of Minneapolis by getting in an accident. So I decided to put my time to good use by playing with my phone. I'm loving the fact that I can get a signal lock in seconds. Then, I open up MAP4PDA 1.4 because it works the same as GM and has a nice speedometer function (BTW, the speedometer in my Jetta is 2 MPH off up to about 80 MPH; after that it's about 3 MPH off).

BAM, the thing is hanging up my phone searching for the damn GPS and the ex-wife is calling me asking me when I'm going to pick up our daughter. So I soft reset. Now I can't get any of my GPS apps to work. NOTHING.

I am fairly convinced that MAP4PDA is the culprit, but I want your guys' opinions. I am off to hard reset my phone (again).

Opinions are very welcome. Have any of you guys been successful with MAP4PDA??

I had a similar experience with map4pda. I checked my gps settings after trying to get it to work and found it had changed the comm ports. ( the ultimate no no on the Kaiser ). Had to hard reset and will never install it again. Shame because it was a good app.
