Re: In Europe, will GPS work on TP?

richcracker,

I do not believe that Google Maps will work properly. When I use Google Maps regularly when i'm driving, the GPS signal picks up and the Google Maps are downloaded through the EVDO internet connection.

Since EVDO does not exist in Europe, I cannot download the maps on an internet connection unless i'm on WIFI. That defeats the purpose of the GPS since I cannot travel on a WIFI connection.

So, what I'm thinking is that maybe the GPS will work if I have preinstalled maps of Moscow/St. Petersburg into my memory card and thus all I need to do is pick up a GPS signal over there.

The one thing I've heard is that GPS here in the states and GPS over there is different and not compatible. I'm not sure whether or not that is true but I think the answer might be in the link that Unknown Zone provided.
