Windows Live Search "Locate Me" feature

[antjones21]

I recently updated the Windows Live Search and I'm unable to use the "Locate Me" feature. Has anyone else had this same problem? I tried reinstalling the cab file and the Locate Me feature appeared one time and then the next time I loaded Live Search it wasn't there anymore. When I go to the settings, "Loacte Me" is grayed out

Make sure "center on GPS" is checked, and then wait until you get a gps lock. Once you do, then the Locate me option will work.

I don't see the "center on Gps" anywhere in the setting on Live search. Are u sure that isn't a setting from a different program maybe Google maps?

I am positive. When you start up live search. Click on the "Map" Option. It will then bring you to the map. Then hit menu, and "center on GPS" is the fourth option down.

EDIT: On the newest version of Live Search, instead of "Center on GPS" it says, "Track me Using GPS" when your in the Map functions Menu system (Not Settings). This is the equivalent of the Locate Me feature, since it tracks you on the map.

I just tried this as well. There is no longer an option to let WindowsMobile handle the GPS settings and WLS doesn't recognize Port3 for GPS any more.
Locate Me box is greyed out as well.
It worked fine on all previous versions.

Try port 4...

You have to check off "Intermediate Driver" for your GPS settings.

"Track me Using GPS" option works fine for me.

Figures.
I tried Ports 0-3. I tried the Intermediate Driver and No GPS as well. None worked.
Port4 works. Seems much slower to lock than previously, but no complaints.

Thats wierd. Just Checked. Both Intermediate Driver and COM 4 work great for me.

Im using Mighty's 4.2 with Telus Radio and newest version of Live Search.

Yeah, I am using the Intermediate GPS Driver on mine (OMJ 2.0 rom) but both that and Com4 work on mine. And mine locks quite quickly.
