Guest donkeykik Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I was reading this post on another site http://www.omniadevelopers.com/known-worki...e-omnia-t4.html It says you can use the Omnia for Geocaching and I also found this at GPS tuner http://www.gpstuner.com/forum/viewtopic.ph...mm&start=15 It says that HTC suffers from the same issue and there is no fix. Any one figure out how to use the omnia it for hiking or geocaching?

Any one figure out how to use the omnia it for hiking or geocaching? interesting post i noticed that when i use my garmin mobile xt it sometimes gives spurious gps fixes when im stuck in traffic and never while im on the move. now i know the reason why however when i use google maps i can see myself walking in sattelite view and it does seem to follow my exact movements, it will give me an odd reading sometimes maybe a few meters off but it sure does follow me while walking. it could be that google maps is accessing the chip differently and that does give us some hope that maybe this 'static feature' can indeed be disabled just my thoughts.... cheers
Guest donkeykik Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Its terrible for geochaing one mintue your on the money then bang your off track
Guest donkeykik Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 The plot thickens, apparently one of the guys over at the previous site mentioned has contacted Qualcomm directly read the letter written to Qualcomm, http://www.omniadevelopers.com/static-navi...-omnia-t49.html They are also referring back to this page on Modaco, any one else tried what they are suggesting? http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-h...ful-gps-tweaks/
Guest donkeykik Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Anyone else got anything on this? Any geocachers out there with an Omnia?
Guest bpivk Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Anyone else got anything on this? Any geocachers out there with an Omnia? Well i use it. I use richesse and gps proxy because richesse doesn't like omnia's gps. It's not really accurate but it's accurate enough.
Guest travelbug Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 Anyone else got anything on this? Any geocachers out there with an Omnia? i actually wanna try geocaching but the post kinda scared me i have garmin mobile xt and mapking which are basically nav sofware. will they do?
