Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

[snowcraig]

I just did this update successfully on my xv6900. However, now my email option in Manilla 2d is locking up. Anyone else have this kind of issue?

[shadow-tech]

this will not affect anything in ur rom.

[snowcraig]

Hmm, so If I re-flash, will my phone still be aGPS capable?

[shadow-tech]

yes. as long as u have gps enabled rom.

Thanks for another great post! I just enabled my gps on my 6800 a few days ago and then I dived into your improvements yesterday and so far it is excellent. As stated elsewhere 5-8 satellites inside the house!
Questions:
Are there any gps freeware that gives voice turn by turn?

If not freeware what is the best purchased software that I can put on my 6800 for voice turn by turn and what is the downside of this software if any?

Thanks for your help,

Seems to work awesome outside... but here at work in our metal building, it cant get a fix still. Oh well, I dont expect that much!!

Is this a replacement for the 'quickgps' application?

iGo is probably the best nav software.

if u need gps to work indoors, for some reason, try: Position Calculation=PDE and GPSMode=4.

It will use a bit more data and power, not too much more.

AmAze GPS is free and does turn by turn, it requires a data service tho and if you don't have EVDO it ties up your line like other data intensive apps do, however for free, it's pretty hard to beat, it will do satellite maps and street maps and a hybrid mode of the two that looks very cool.
