It looks like the functionality is there, it is just disabled for our phones. Maybe we can enable it in the registry or something? I looked under the software keys for Google and there was't much there.

I think Google is implimenting that capability in stages, probably as they test the specific devices, they will activate it. The good thing, is that from the way things look, they only need to 'flick the switch' so to speak, not making us install a new version again every few days!!!

I have a feeling this was designed with GSM towers in mind.
The development seems to have been done by a UK team, which is almost entirely GSM. While this doesn't mean CDMA is no good, it might be a while. Mobile GMaps for java used to get coordinates off of A-GPS via a Sprint server. You had to allow the program to get by registering your ESN with the Sprint Developer network. Maybe it's something similar to that. If it is, it may only be a matter of time. Any AT&T/T-Mobile users get the My location feature to work? I don't think any Sprint users have (I haven't). At least not with the Mogul. I don't have any hard facts. These are just my musings and opinions. Last edited by qbunnie; 11-29-2007 at 12:39 AM.

I think that TeleNav used this agps in some of the sprint phones because it worked great indoors on my Sanyo 7400. It was always very accurate and I never had a problem getting a location even in malls or in my house or at work. I don't think regular gps works that well, and the article I read said that google's tech works better than regular GPS indoors.

Google Maps 2 with new "MyLocation" feature.
Google has launched version 2 of Google Maps Mobile. This beta version contains a feature called "mylocation" which attempts to use triangulation, etc to determine your location rather than GPS.
I installed it on my 6700, doesn't seem to work. Oh well. http://www.google.com/gmm/mylocation.html?hl=en Last edited by nermel; 12-02-2007 at 01:12 PM.
