GPS with no data?
 

hey guys i just flashed my sprint touch and am now using dharvey4651's rom. my question is how can i access gps and use maps without having a data connection(i only have a voice and txt plan). I'm pretty sure you have to download maps or something, but i dunno how or where to get them. Thanks!

Re: GPS with no data?
 

i think its if you put your phone on airplane mode you can still use gps.
try it and see if it works!

Re: GPS with no data?
 

You need a program that installs its own maps, like Garmin XT, Tom Tom, or IGO8.

thx chicubs but google maps tells me it needs a data connection. but gps viewer works in airplane mode.

Re: GPS with no data?
 

Well, obviously it requires a data connection... those maps don't just materialize on your phone!! It just needs the connection to be able to download the maps as you move.

rite but now how and where can i find a program that installs a gps nav and USA maps on my touch?

Re: GPS with no data?
 

See mr. casper post. U have to buy it and install in ur phone. Then ur good to go. U don't need data connection after u install it either. Just like using a regular GPS system by garmin,tomtom navigon etc.

k guys i got tomtom 6 and its up n running other than the fact that i cant get a valid gps signal. i ran google maps and gps viewer and still nada. n e ideas?

Re: GPS with no data?
 

Have you run the proper PPST?

Re: GPS with no data?
 

no, wuts ppst?

Re: GPS with no data?
 

Some roms require a PPST update that configures your phone for proper gps utilization. Also anyone know of a gps system that can be used for hiking and stuff, also no data connection just imagine if you were wanting to go camping etc.?

Re: GPS with no data?
 

yea ill try and look for a ppst app thing, and no sry i dont no of any hiking gps software. but that would be sik.

Re: GPS with no data?
 

Garmin XT will do what you want. But that software, and any that you put on a phone are more, navigators that use GPS, than an actual full on GPS's. It will be OK, but a real stand alone GPS has much more functionality.
