New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Anyone else having a problem with the Bing GPS? It can never locate me and because of that, I can't use the GPS for turn by turn directions. Is there a fix to this issue? My Google Maps works fine btw.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

might try turning your BT on, seems that it my be interconnected with the gps. also make sure you run quickgps.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

To run Quickgps, I have to set download satellites automatically on?

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

or you can manually do it, its good to do it once a week.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Ok, thanks for the help. I'll go try this out now.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

I did what you suggested and still no luck :/

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Go into your bing settings for GPS and change first select "Use GPS" then change the gps source from GPS intermediate driver to COM4. That will fix your problem.
Worked for me.

Wrong. Turning on BT has nothing to do with the GPS. (unless you use and external GPS puck).

See my post above for turning on GPS and choosing COM4 within Bing and that fixes it.

ps, I took a deep breath before I posted this. :headbang:

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Only if you're using an external BT GPS receiver.

I don't really like the new Bing as half the things I have searched for said "no result found" & Google finds those same items instantly, but Bing does find my location with no problem (so does Google)

GPS works with the new Bing for me but there is stupid-crazy lag. Of all the GPS apps I've tried I've never seen lag like I get with the new Bing app.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

I tried this and still not working :(. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Yeah, I'm having the same problem with this app the gps says always locating and doesn't do anything. I've changed the settings as a poster had stated and it didn't do anything.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

some people in a different thread said they had better luck when it was installed to main memory. Do you have it on your storage card or main memory?

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

It is installed to the card on my Sprint TP2 running the stock 6.1 ROM, COM 4 and it works ok. I prefer the detail level Goggle provides and it lags a bit more than the previous release. I find the Sprint and Nav applications though to be more responsive. Traffic has yet to work here in Paradise.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

I have it stored to my storage card. Haven't tried to store it to main memory might do that. I wonder if the other person has it to storage card too.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

just wondering if anyone could tell me of a retail GPS product that works well with the TP2? i did not want to post a new thread so i hope someone can assist. i plan on giving bing a try, but am hoping i can find something i can buy that is a little bit better on locating POIs... thanks in advance for the help..

also, i am in north america.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

I use iGuidance as my primary GPS on my TP2 and really like it. Since it is completely stored on my phone - maps and all on my storage card,there is no lag while waiting for map data to load over a 3g connection. Also, since the maps and such are loaded on the phone, a 3g connection/data is not required.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Just another thought. Do you have location services turned on? Settings>Location>Location Settings Service "ON"?

David

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Ok my bing is working now. I still have it stored to my storage card. Only things I did different was I went into quick gps and I downloaded that. I have no idea what that does and I also went into comm manager settings and turned off data connection and turned it back on. I went into bing and it finally locked onto a location for me. Who knows what if those things I did made it work but that's where Im at now.

GarminXT works great for me.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

best way I found to get this working is to download it from m.bing.com/downloads the cabs I got from here were bad and it couldnt "locate" me. Once i got it from bing directly it worked like a charm!

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Co-Sign.. Get the CAB from m.bing.com/downloads

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

And download it from IE instead of opera, works better.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

I'm one of the unfortunates, where I still can't get a signal; infinite "Locating"

My Sprint TP2 is on the stock 6.5
I downloaded from m.bing...
Loaded to my main memory
In Bing settings, changed to Com4
Under Setting, Location: it's on & HTC location service is checked
Under System, External GPS: GPS program port is set to Com 4
Under Quick GPS: I'm not using Auto Download, but I did a successful manual download
Stood outside for 10 minutes :scratch:

No connection

Any other recommendations ?

Update:
Without making any additional changes, it now works

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

I've had the same problems. Had to disable/enable all of the GPS settings. the program is buggy, but the best thing available. The locate me wouldnt work with mine, even though actual navigation would work on occassion.

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Here are working examples of bing navigation I recorded.

HTC Touch Pro 2 running Updated Bing App Free Turn by Turn Navigation:

Re: New version of Bing GPS not working on my TP2
 

Op, many users have had the same problems that you're experiencing. In order to fix it, you have to update quickGPS and then soft reset your phone. When I did this, it worked fine from then on.

Oh and by the way, I have my GPS set to the default "GPS Intermediate Driver." If you soft reset and it still doesn't work, then try setting your GPS back to that setting.

Let me know if it works.
