I think that they will. they have the infrafrastructure in place to handle it (rev.a)

sprint does make money off of telenav, so i dont see a reason for them not to support it.

i think they will but just as they did w/ mogul they'll drag feet and miss promised dates before giving it to ya...

[pr0ject]

i thought someone said that the release date was going to be 5/7 or am i just tripping

[InvincibleLiving]

well anyone can say it.. but it just depends who that anyone was... when rev a hit the mogul there were quite a few 'sprint techs' floating around the forums touting 'firm intel' on release dates that came and went...

Where did you find the cab for the Tilt Telenav? I flashed JD's rom last night but now am getting ready to flash OMJ because that's what I had before all the gps fixes came out.

Today I use the gps with live search, google maps and sprint nav. I always seemed to connect fast and didn't use the gps viewer. Maybe the Bay Area has a good sky.

The Telenav software for the Vogue will not connect to the gps. It looks for a BT Receiver. I've been using the Telenav software for a while and really like it.

I found a SprintNav cab and installed it. (this is also telenav software) With the SprintNav my inturnal gps was found and workes great. I find that the SprintNav is not the same as the Telenav. SprintNav that I installed does not give you traffic in the map view. The menu option where view traffic should be seems to be missing some choices. I only have [Go To Cursor] [Save Location] [2D or 3D Map]. The only way to zoom in or out is by the graphic slider that shows on the map. Also the SprintNav doesn't have a full screen option.

Anyway, it the ATT version works on the Vogue I would like to try it. I'm sure that Telenav will update their software sometime up the road. I drive almost all day and do miss not having the traffic on the moving 2D map.


****** I found the cab. Just had to search the site a little. **********

It's the year 2045 and according to Sprint the Touch rom update will be out soon. Some of those waiting for the Rom update back in 2008 are according to my understanding now in nursing homes still waiting for the Sprint Rom update for their Touch........hmmmm NOT good!!!

But I would like to comment about this subject.. I am absolutely loving this new Rev A. with JD's Rom..

The entire options with windows 6.1 is great.. The phone is stable and it seemed to work out a lot of bugs I had before..


That said, I feel if sprint released their version of the Rev A. I would have NO POINT to get it. Is this how I should be thinking? I mean what's the point of an official Rev A. if this one works flawless?
Thanks

Sounds like solid logic to me! I think if they came out with a new updated ROM with RevA and GPS, our industrious chefs would ferret out the good stuff and cook them into new and more flavorful ROMs. But hey, if you're happy... as I am, let the good times roll.
I can tell you this; I am glad we have it now and don't HAVE to wait for Sprint.

I brick my touch, make sprint give me a new one. don't feel bad about it, sprint should update to rev a and gps to begin with so i don't have to go thru all this. love my new phone with gps and rev a.

[bonabob]

Well. My GPS works FLAWLESS!! I use telenav (I still don't know WHY ANYONE wouldn't) I don't mess with those other crappy versions for GPS only the best!

Dammit I wish I was as smart as you guys so I could do all that to my Touch! Oh well, I guess I will just have to get satisfaction from knowing you guys are happy. lol
