who has GPS right now?! I am back to 2.17 also, along with many others I'm sure. I have been using TomTom, but this sounds interesting. Thanks.

I am confused - this product seems to be made by PdaFun and is their only product. I am amazed that they can call a product "Google Navigator" given how protective Google is over their name.

lol. i know. bad time to post i guess. i just saw it and thought the step-by-step voice and turn directions sounded cool. i use sprint navigation because it is free on my account. just thought others might like it.

It keeps crashing on me. An error happens. I only get as far as seeing the map of the world, and then it crashes.

alright, I'm bored. I will flash back to 3.16 and check it out.

Dont work for me....I tried this app a few weeks ago there was another thread about it. Just tried it again and still its a no go. There is a problem with the GPS I keep getting a ERROR. I must say when I had my Blackberry Google navigator rocked.

As I posted on XDA:

Quote:

The older version did not work at all because the mogul lacks a working direct3d driver, and that seems to be what this program uses to render the maps. Considering this problem affected a large number of HTC devices, hopefully the fixed the problem by using another display method.. Will try...

*edit*
Yes! From the author's website:
-Add Qualcomm CPU device support
-More stable by using new 3D engin which do not need Microsoft direct3d mobile support
-Fix the start GPS bug in some device

Have not tried yet but it looks like it will work.

Well the software does work on the mogul now...

Lets take this and throw it into the box with opera 9.405. We will label this box "SOFTWARE MOGUL USERS CANNOT ENJOY BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH RAM".

This program will gradually suck every drop of RAM then crash within two to three minutes of just browsing the map.

It did seem to be working with the GPS though. I am inside so I didn't get a fix, but it was looking for sats. You have to go in the options, uncheck bluetooth GPS, and set the baud to 4800.
