But I would rather pay for a full application like TomTom 6, which is only $100 at www.buygpsnow.com. That's already $20 cheaper than Telenav and you get to keep it forever. Also, because it resides on your device and storage card, it does not require a data connection like Telenav does. If you don't care for that then, try Google Maps Mobile at www.google.com.gmm or Microsoft Live Search at wls.live.com. Both are free and work with GPS, but like Telenav, requires a data connection. 20 out of 20 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Free GPS software Jul 3 2008, 10:00 PM EDT I have a program that I wrote, but I created it for the Sprint 6800, WM6.1. If that is a match I will send it to you to play with. It give lon, lat, elev, speed, direction, time of day, number of sats. It is based on the Sample code in MS SDK Mobile 6.0 which did not work without tunning. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

It is cool to drive down the road and see my speed and direction. No service plan required. I was thinking of adding a point capture and log feature so a mapping function could be added. 6 out of 6 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Free GPS software Jul 10 2008, 9:15 PM EDT There are two attachments available for download which will enable the GPS to work on a Mogul. It may work for other HTC phones, but it will require Window Mobile 6 to be installed. The MyGPS.CAB is an auto install which will need to be copied to the phone. Once copied, use the file explorer to activate the the install. Once it is install, it will have a menu popup on the lower right hand side. Pressing the "Start GPS" on the menu will cause you to see the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- QualComm GpsOne Card: version 0.0 SeviceState: On DeviceState: On -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once the Sats are found the display will add additional lines: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flags: 3FF5F Latitude (DD): XX.XXXXXXX Longitude (DD): XX.XXXXXXX Above Sea Level: XXX.XXXXXXXX Satellite Count: X/XX (X) Heading: XXX.X Speed: XX.X => will show 0 at rest Time: MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS AM/PM ----------------------------------------------------------------- In the future I plan to change the heading to be both degrees and compass headings 4 out of 6 found this valuable.

However, the only event it receives is the device state change event when the GPS is started ("QualComm GpsOne Card, version 0.0 On, On"). No location change events are received. At the end, I even tried a hard reset in case it was a registry problem, but to no avail. Does anyone know of this problem, and if so, how to solve it? PS: when I tried to change the GPS settings (e.g. changing the comm ports), the device does not save them; it always reverts to the previous settings when I return to the settings screen. The only thing I am able to change is "Manage GPS automatically"; but if I do change it, I do not even receive the first device state change event. Kind regards, William Do you find this valuable? |
