Gps Questions. I've read the sticky :) Please help!
 

I have a vzw titan w/ the MR1 software. I'm running the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab w/ google maps and it works well. I tried GPS tuner and it would not find my internal gps. I am in need of the following.

1. Does anyone know of good gps software that will work for point to point use. (Example, basic outdoor garmin, no maps needed. I need to plug in gps coordinates and it give a my distance to that point.)

2. Will the valhalla legends cab work without cell reception.

3. If #2 is no, can you recommend a gps cab that will fit the bill.

I would be deeply greatful.

I've read some people use other software, but I just stick with Google maps. The maps are always up to date, has some cool features, and yes, you can enter lat/long coordinates, and it will pinpoint it. You can use those coordinates to find the travel distance from your current location, or to a destination.

As far as getting the GPS tuner to work, I don't know. Mine works, and I DEFINITELY recommend getting the aGPS fix (helps you get a GPS lock in <10 seconds.

Yeah. Stick with Google Maps. The GPS on MR1 should work without cell reception as GPS is free and works without cell tower connection on my custom ROM. I really would reccomend unlocking, using a Sprint radio, and flashing to a custom ROM. I know MR1 has wonderful battery life but a Custom ROM always beats a stock offical ROM! Ah, but you're a verizon rep, you should follow the rules and stay offical. Lol :-)

My issue is I spend time on the water and could use a basic gps program, maps are not important, just distance between points and distance to specific coordinate

i am open to a new rom if someone could
a. give me step by step detail instructions on how and what i need to perform the flash
b. someone could tell me the advantages of the rom.
as a rep for big red getting replacement phones require an act of congress. lol

Again, the search function and stickies are your friends. There are tutorials out there. You should use the kitchen. BOO pre-built ROMs. Make one in the ktichen.

You need to add that the aGPS fix requires a data connection to pull those sat locks faster.

I use GPSToday and whatever maps it uses.

richesseGPS will do what you want. its not fancy. have you ever seen the garmin gecko GPS? all it does is point you in the direction of the lat/lon you type in. its main use is geocaching. do a search i believe its a free program if it doesnt do what you want you can always delete it.
