AFAIK Its supposed to be viewed from the desktop.

Damn, this response is NOT what I wanted to hear. This SUX!

Response from Sprite:

Hi PPC6700freak,

Unfortunately Microsoft's Mobile Internet Explorer doesn't support Javascript. So it can't show web pages with Google Earth or even Virtual Earth.

The solution is to install Opera's browser on your phone, or any other browser that supports Javascript.

Many thanks

Why dont you just use google maps on the phone?

How hard would this be to build into a ROM, with complete config so it would survive a hard reset of the phone?

The average thief probably wouldn't know how to reset the phone, but if he did, one could still track the stolen phone after a hard reset.

Has anyone gotten the GPS to work without using a primer? I have to do the fast prime first for it to get me coordinates. Or else it says no SATS found... runnning the current rom... I saw someone said they found a work around for this but can find it anywhere. Read Sprite's website where they say use TomTom (or whatever app) but say you lose you phone and you dont have the luxory of starting that to get a reading through terminator?

Everytime I send an sms, it responds within 30 seconds with the correct gps coordinates. No priming required. Have been testing it for about a week now.

Lucky you. I have been trying to use this on my wife's and my Titan to no luck. Unless I "prime" it first, I get a message back sometimes hours later saying no Sat info. She is back to a stock Sprint Rom and I have a DCD Gps RoM and still no luck. We have both tried rebooting PPC's and then sending the commands and nothing. Now if we use Google Maps or something else, then it works. Now if we completely close Google Maps out and try it, doesn't work. Still not going to give up though, there must be a way as many others like yourself seem to have it working fine!
