Best GPS software to use with our new feature?

[rambrush]

I also have the message from sprint advising I am not authorized user. So I guess that option is out as I am not paying 10.00 for it.
Google map just tried that and it locates me very well but when driving the map does not follow my location..
So whats option 3?
just say the heck with it and just my seperate gps unit I guess.

Other GPS settings might exist thereabouts.

Any idea whats these do?

And i use iGuidance...found it the easiest for me to use but the import address from contacts doesnt work that great, but text-to-speech i love

I have always liked MioMap which is identical to iGo My Way 2006. Its very customizable, but it does need 12mb minimum to run so you may have to reboot first.

Funny thing, I live in San Diego and I tested out just using Google Maps and while driving around up to 15 miles away, city/highway the little blue dot was following along with no problems. Even on the way to work this morning in the rain it worked fine. No glitches or anything. Maybe because I had it hooked up to a power source the whole time? oh well works for me, so I'm happy!

I see all this...but how do we make it work....I took a picture with GPS running and I can't find the MyPOI folder anywhere...Should we create a new value in Exif to capture the GPS info?

I honestly don't know because I don't own a Titan (Mogul), sorry. But you may have to enable "stamping" as well. By default, it adds a date and time stamp to the image. But it may also stamp GPS info into the image as well.

Go to:

\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Image\

DWORD Name: EnableStamp
Data: 1 (hex)

Be sure to check in your camera options as well.

I'm wondering if we have to use GPS software to place the current location into My POI folder in some method for the camera to read and place in the EXIF of the picture.
