location app that's closer than google maps?
 

google maps little blue dot is always 500-900 meters away from where I am. Is there a free or minimal cost map-app that is more accurate?

Thanks!

are you using gps when you use gmaps? im always within like 5 or 10 meters. make sure your using quickgps also!!!!

it is using whatever location sensor is inherent within the tp2.

I do not have an external gps.
I do not have quickgps - I just d/l and install a "HTC quickgps with patch" but it gives me a certificate error when I try to start it. is there a better cab?

Stock 6.5 rom. trying another quickgps

in the setting you can choose "use gps" and it will use the the phones gps

google "sdkcerts2015" and install that for the cert error

Thanks given!

The settings in googlemaps did it!

What does quickgps add to it? (I'm off to fix the cert error - I think I can only thank you once, unfortunately!

quickgps downloads the lastest sat. info for a quicker more accurate gps lock

Got a 5kb sdkcertsnew2015.cab but it doesn't fix the problem. Will go try to reinstall guickgps. again. :grin:

ya uninstall quickgps, then install sdkcerts, soft reset, install quickgps

Re: location app that's closer than google maps?
 

nope.

"the file quickgps cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificte,ore one of its components cannot be found. if the problem exists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

uninstalled quickgps (which causes a restart)
installed sdkcerts (again)
soft reset
installed quickgps (which causes a restart)

but no joy.

might not work on a stock rom...
