Now back to the menu, select "Use GPS" and it works for me.

Thanks mharvey...

This helped me out alot...guess I was retarted

Re: Best GPS Mapping Software

You don't have to change it to set manually, just let Windows manage it. That's how it's designed to work.

Just tried MS Live Search and holy crap - blows Google Maps out of the water for usability and is much more stable for me.

With Google Maps my phone was crashing twice a day for no reason. MS Live Search has no problems yet and I LOVE speech recognition! Great for when you are driving.

Re: Best GPS Mapping Software

I haven't tried to install iGuidance on the Pro yet, I just use Google Maps because it's easy to install. Too lazy to hook my phone up to the PC and install the program.

Sadly no, it doesn't :( I don't think any good free ones have turn by turn navigation yet. I really do hope that someday we get that though.

MS Live Search definitely blows Google out of the water though... it's rare that I can say MS impressed me, but it seems to be happening more often the last couple of years :headbang:

Were you able to run it on the touch pro. I have iGuidance 4 and it installed properly and connected to the satellites. but when I was driving it was just not refreshing :(

Every now and then, I tap on the phone screen and it wakes up and then refreshed. kinda got annoying after a while.

Please let me know how you managed to set it up
