I just downloaded google maps and it seems that I can not get my location. Is my gps location not on?

correct, my location is still in beta i believe and is not supported for all handsets. my mogul being on of em. it will work. you have to hit settings and select use gps. once you have a lock my location will work. if your cruising around the map, and your gps is locked and you hit my location it will take you to your location.

click "use gps" and it will work.

is there a way to get google maps to follow you as you go just like live search does. I end up having to hit my location over and over again to center the map on my location. it also doesn't recalculate when you go off route.

Use gps should center it on your postition. if not look on the screen for a return arrow or a button that says return.

I think he means that it won't follow you on a turn-by-turn basis when you put directions in. if you hit my location, it doesn't tell you what the next turns are. Don't think there's a way to get it to do that. And it definitely does not recalculate your route...
